Serious props to Obama for getting Medvedev in on Iran. No as soon as health care is done, i hope he gets to work on obvious stupid policies that will cause distractions now like some of what Sullivan is talking about on LEGAL immigration reform where we are losing a lot of great minds because of stupid policies.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 05:33 AM) First of all, how often are games won on a fluke? Rarely. But to play your game, if Boise St is in the NC game and they are close enough to win on a fluke, there there is NO doubt they deserved to be there. You don't win by a fluke if you had no business being in the game in the first place. There mere fact they would be close enough at the end, kills your theory. Amen. Do I want to see Boise in the NC? No, but if they get there and manage to win I'll bet it'll have been one of the most entertaining games ever. You have to respect that team for recruiting the way they have in a place like that. And their victory over Oklahoma was anything but fluke.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 05:09 AM) Have you been to either of their bar/restaurants? They have styles on tap that they don't sell in bottles. They have a few that will kick your ass if you're not careful. Yeah I went to one that was in/by Kirkwood, and that's actually why I mentioned it. I'd never really by shlafly in Columbia, and they really were losing the distribution battle to Boulevard. Shlafly has something awful of design on their beers. BUt yeah I had 2 great stouts around christmas time and another good porter.

can you guys remember a worst august/september than this?

Schlafly has some great beers. I'd take it over boulevard.

are they going to shape outfield like a penis?

To be fair, he looked into Putin's eyes and saw KGB.

QUOTE (Sox72 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 01:06 AM) Any other suggestions? You know, when I was there I was being taken around and I really don't know what you like. Let me ask a friend of mine who lived in central west end. He had some funny taste, he loved wine and cigars, but he might know some places. I loved this one bowling alley/bar on some main strip. Really cheap beer and I liked the laid back atmosphere. Central West End sometimes feel like you are trying to show off your vertical striped shirt that you bought at express.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) Al-righty Rain God. Quit with the storms and all. Our location just outside Campinas keeps having power issues which means I get early calls. Nice, I'm going to Campinas this weekend. So you will be getting a ton of calls.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) Kind of like social security. And medicare. And medicaid. Oh wait - the government is altruistic. I keep forgetting that. LOL So Social Security moving a group of the population that was at once the most likely to be in poverty to now one of the least, is evil.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) IIRC, you're pretty far south, right? If I remember my Brazil geography, Sao Paulo is south... I've had conference calls with folks from there, that's about it. Correct! Curitiba is in Parana which is Southern Brazil. Southeast Brazil would be Sao Paolo state which obviously includes Sao Paolo but also a couple other million + cities. Above that is Rio which is pretty much eastern but still kind of south eastern. Northern Brazil is a lot drier I believe where as southern is higher elevation as it grows into the Andes in Argentina.

yes. I am a rain God.

No reason why abortions shouldn't be covered. But like that dude NSS just said, baucus has no public plan in his. Unless subsidies for lower class to get insurance from private insurers that have plans that cover abortion means that OMG WE'RE FUNDING BABY KILLERS

The "rain forest" of Curitiba. Just ribbin you. Pretty far from the rain forest. Sao Paolo state sees much less rain it seemed than does Parana. Here's a view from where I live!!!!! http://twitpic.com/iuqey

QUOTE (The Critic @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) It can't be worse than the CTA. There's no way. It is because CTA sucks but can take you all over chicago and into north/south suburbs, and if not you have metra that'll extend you close to anywhere. STL's transit covers very little. Sox72, I have a couple friends going to WashU, I think you'll enjoy yourself. And go to Papis

5 years old is not that old. lol there are pictures of all four of us boys in my family when I was like 1.5...that made my brother like 8.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) I've listened to some of her speeches and seen interviews, and what I see is a wavering back and forth that I believe is her injecting exaggerated quirks for effect. But she has been doing it so long, its probably instinctive now. And no, obviously, I don't know here personally so I can't say for sure. Just my opinion. In any case, real or fake or a bit of both, she belongs nowhere near any sort of leadership position - she is either really that dumb (which I find unlikely), or she is just a little dumber than the people typically at her level but plays up the hick angle which says she thinks everyone else is stupid. Just not good, either way. has there ever been this kind of "aww shucks, i'm dumb" type politician before?

Ugh that woman is among the dumbest in the world.

hahahaha oh sorry. No, seriously, there is a chance you might really love st. louis. Just, if you have kids, after they leave high school walk around with them the first day at college and if they ask the new people what high school they went to just punch the hell out of them. My major gripe with STL is their really crappy crappy public transport.

she was warning Chinese about big government?

I'm not sure what "here" means.

Yes I asked my 82 year old professor if the dude's dick still worked as a follow up question

did you see where I said someone got a blowdart into the dick

This story halfway sucks because I don't remember the names... Anyway i had this teacher Stu loory who used to do CNN world report in Moscow, he said you'd hear a lot of stories never reported because this and that. one was this german technician who knew would clean out the german embassy of the KGB spy s***...and rig it against them but I'm not exactly sure how. it was something as simple as shocking on the other end other transmissions I don't remember. Anyways the guy wanders out of the embassy and into a church. A kgb assassin blows a poison dart into his dick. Not lethal, he manages to get to the embassy, where the US arranged for a helicopter to lift him out of there. How bout that, poison dart to the junk.

I think it didn't cause much discussion because John Bolton and John McCain aren't on this site. McCain's dream of entering another cold war with Russia is admirable, it produced many great clancy novels and military movies including making Top Gun have an ending, but not very smart.
