I really didn't enjoy Gods and Monsters. Some awful dialogue.

2 others arrested were cleared

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) Isn't "hey lets end it" a pretty good description of what the military said last time that Congress asked? It's more than 10 seconds at this point. I think it's pretty clear they're trying to at least slip past the mid-term elections and hope that they can avoid a backlash against them from either side. Give me a break, they already essentially gutted it. If this 1 year review is enough to satiate some senators while making the program currently meaningless you won't give a f*** in 5 years because it will be over. BUt considering what it looked like his first year, the Obama admin. has really taken on DADT and the HIV ban.

anyone know if we got the free dunkin donuts coffee?

b.s. dragging his ass would be if the military was saying "hey let's end it" and obama was saying "nope!" Just because it takes more than 10 seconds to change it doesn't mean it's being held up.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ May 3, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) Lily Ledbetter Ended the HIV travel restrictions Really like these two. Especially regarding the latter, it was an incredibly stupid and outdated ban that had no reason continuing, and it was a relief to see it end. There was actually a lot of little things Obama has done that have had big impacts on peoples lives that it's hard to remember because i think it was such common sense. also: The movement to end don't ask don't tell.

Caught my first sox game of the year. Rios was great tonight. Beckham made a great play at second. Also: I think i underestimated how popular scotty pods is with most sox fans. Also, Jones and Alexei were smokin the s*** out of the ball. So did paulie. The Royals 3b was like target practice out there. Also, BS is right, it was a cubs fan starting s*** in LF.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) I'd rather Kotsay lead off than Ramirez, as Alexei isn't a long-term solution. Kotsay is?

yeah he's pretty bad. And yeah, he double clutches a lot. But the good thing is we signed him long term.

hahaha.

and, you know, our people in the prime of their careers to not hit like mendoza in the prime of his.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) in the next couple months. what has congress acted on that has happened this quickly. I should say the senate, which apparently is the whole congress now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2010 -> 03:22 AM) Watched an excellent documentary on netflix instant watch tonight. 'We Live in Public' Highly recommended. word, saw that at columbia missouri's "true/false film festival" which is an awesome event if any of you are cool and like nice s***.

the arms were not the key to getting peavy, it was picking up his salary.

yeah, not getting it. So because something has been around a long time and sucks means that it's not to be questioned or changed because it's been around a long time and sucks and people know it? Sounds brilliant.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) At the end of the day it isn't like they were annexed. The rules have been there long before anyone here was born. The zone was created for a very specific reason. Then again it isn't like there is much state based influence left in this country anyway. so?

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) It was created specifically to house the federal government. When created, I think the point was to keep it away from state influences. Of course, all of that is moot today. well, not really but besides that, you'd still have the federal district, but could make a state easily for the 600,000 routinely f***ed from true representation and constant tugging with congress. Their population is comparable to SD or MT

why not D.C., btw?

out of curiosity, wouldn't that just get overturned too.

things are really clicking!

sorry to harp on this, but i just had whiskey... There was an accusation that the people criticizing not picking up a power LH hitter this offseason was just a safeguard because if our players sucked we could say "i told you so" and if our players rocked we could just be like "oh well...this is great" but i'm imagining you, flash tizzle, are the embodiment of the "i told you so" not bringing any pleasure to a fan who just wants to get to the playoffs. The "our scouting and minors are horrendous" was your calling card for years even as people tried to sell you that it was fine since we could trade them.

GUYS IT IS JUST THE FACT THAT IT IS STILL COLD CHILL DUDES

i'm glad JR has a comfortable relationship with himself.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:56 AM) I'm not saying I think it's likely, but I think it's still a possibility. I take it you're already writing off the season then? No...but god damn. Every season we've made the playoffs we started off hot. Every season we haven't, we started poor, and never really this poor...s***, in 2007 i'm pretty sure we made it over .500 and damn close to first place for a bit before our bullpen went crazy. It's frustrating because you just feel like logic has no control. In the offseason as you beg and scream that you can't rely on these players that are not reliable. That you should run a team praying for career offensive years from players that aren't consistent...it's just embarrassing. At least the 2002-2004 teams could mash. The 2007 and likely 2010...ain't nothin f***ing fun about this s***.
