  4. QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) Man I hope Teahen doesn't suck this bad. He'll end up being another Linebrink. psh, at least linebrink helped us get into the playoffs in 08
  5. QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 04:05 AM) I would like to see Titus Andronicus, I was hoping they'd be at Lolla. are you in chicago? They played a show here last week for 10 bucks.

  8. QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Diplomatic immunity doesn't work that way. The diplomat has to be acting within the scope of his duties or in carrying out his official duties. He broke a federal law by smoking on an airplane and making whatever comments he made, which had nothing to do with his job. He probably won't be imprisoned, but he will likely be kicked out of the country. if they are allowed to park wherever the hell they want and it be "carrying out their duties" then how is him smoking while traveling to perform his duties not "carrying out his duties"
  9. QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) When do the Royals come to town? haha, liked.
  10. yes, but there's obviously a lot more space and s***tier views at a festival, so prices should be lower.
  11. QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) St. Louis is getting in on the mini-music festival thing this year with Lou Fest in Forest Park. $38/day or $64 for both days. Lineup includes Titus Andronicus, Built to Spill, Jeff Tweedy, She & Him. Not too bad for the price. Personally, I think that is a lot for the lineup. For reference, the first intonation/pitchfork 5 years ago with a much deeper lineup and similar headliners was 20 for 2 days 12 for 1. There are free festivals that have lineups close to that. If they want to have it be a big deal to draw people from out of town, they need it to be either much cheaper or get a much better lineup.
  12. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Pawlenty certainly is. I'm just not sure anyone noticed. I think everyone notices. He's tacking hard right. You know, i do have hope though. McCain won because very few republican primaries are closed to republicans. McCain brought in all the independents.
  13. QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) The focus of my argument is that nobody wants to actually engage the United States in pitched conflict because we'd murder them. These massive programs that everyone calls wasteful keep a relative amount of peace going. And as I've said over and over, the spending differential between the US and the next biggest spenders is HUGE. And you are saying we can't cut anything still. Because if we cut one program they know they are only 3/4 of a trillion dollars away!
  14. Yep, what was originally reported and thought was a shoe bombing was actually just the Qatar diplomat being a douchebag and smoking in the bathroom. And when asked by air marshals, he joked that he was lighting his shoe on fire. Funny, right? You know what makes it less funny...douchebag is a diplomat, and therefore has diplomatic immunity. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/...2.php?ref=fpblg http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2010...oke.php?ref=fpa
  15. MIA's album is coming out this summer, I thought they would nab her.
  16. QUOTE (SockMe @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 03:46 AM) when Putz, Thornton and hopefully Jenks are in we will be money, other then those guys, its gonna be shaky. i can't stand how it takes jenks 2 guys to be on base to actually start pitching.
  17. QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 04:54 AM) Who said Huckabee and Romney are her main competitors? Campaigns matter. And personally I think someone like Haley Barbour or others could chew her up and spit her out. But like you you say, we'll see. you are right of course, but we'll see what happens. I just don't see many others in campaign mode, but in the next year we'll see for sure.
  18. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) Am I the only one who remember all of the "Dissent is Patriotic" bumperstickers from the previous eight years? What happened to all of that? It is totally accepted here when entire groups of the GOP are mocked. It is completely OK when jokes are made about how stupid people are in the Republican party. Yet if anything remotely the other way happens, panties get wadded about as quick as Scott Linebrink entering a game. You mean like the past two pages of this thread? Look in a mirror for Christ's sake. When I've gone off, I took some time off. I've been treated very fairly, including the time when I called out NSS for trying to act like an inbetween moral arbiter in the 2008 election and taking sides with you. They are fair. They are extremely lenient. One of the things that has pissed me off, and I don't even like him as a poster, but one of the easy things of this forum is anyone can make fun of AHB and it's fine. People can clearly insult him, and no big deal. Imagine if that was kap.
