QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 11:45 PM) You can tell that Kenny wants to sign a DH, but Ozzie's getting in the way here. KW can sign someone w/o ozzies say

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) Actually, Justice Thomas argued that having it in the open was unconstitutional today, and that it should be done in backroom deals. Quite literally. exactly, companies don't have to disclose where their money went, they can merely funnel it through places like the chamber of commerce.

i've never heard this phrase, kap.

You can enjoy flexibility with the dh when you have players who all can hit. You don't do it with players that all are awful. I mean...does no one ask these questions?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) What you're not realizing is...the longer this hangs out there, the sicker people are getting of hearing about it. We've had a legitimate 11 month policy debate right now, and the longer it's lasted, the worse the policy has gotten. and this backyard dealing for the senate to make after the fact changes, let me guess, headline: "House/Senate makes deal on changes to vote on" 3 hours later "Joe Lieberman refuses to vote for changes"

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) Fixed for ya. He's pretty much perfect for the team's needs right now. see, you took the opportunity to compliment thome, whereas I was using it to criticize KW/ozzie. I like thome and want him on the team.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 06:17 PM) Just sign him back already, he even wants to come back. Come on Kenny... I don't understand what the problem is, he's old, past his prime, and not a full-time player at this point in his career. He totally fits the mold of a white sox free agent this offseason.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Here is the link to the Chudzinski interview: ESPN Chicago Cool, thanks for the link.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) In my view, anything that intentionally segregates or collects or admits people based on race, is racism. Again, I am not saying that makes it evil or bad necessarily - but that is what it is. Just my view though. I find this ridiculous.

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01...are.php?ref=fpa f*** you too, Obama.

disagree. Until congress decides to participate in governing, I will not participate in electing them.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) Or perhaps young people are generally ignorant morons who get the government they deserve. Yes, the over 50 crowd's nihilism is really showing their worth. They look at their shadow and think its a muslim.

perhaps it's because they sell out everyone under 30 when they govern.

just wrote to inform all related congressman, senators, majority leaders, and the speaker of the house to let them know I'm no longer voting in 2010. May they have as difficult of time finding a job as the rest of us.

QUOTE (dadwassoxfan @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) I think that Kenny thinks we have enough right now to win the Division with our current DH combo. and that's truly pathetic.

i can't stand being the same age as awesome accomplished athletes. fugh

well, go ahead and ask sen.-elect brown how many it killed in massachussetts since he was so supportive of it.

so you don't believe them that they can improve? I don't think you should be making the decisions then. For instance, here is an article on Chicago's version, Urban Prep (again, high success) http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/o...tudents-chicago The point of these isn't "we can't get along with white people so we need our own school!", it's about getting these kids to succeed, and they are.

I don't know how many jobs it will save but I think I can put a number on lives.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 06:38 AM) I actually get both Esquire and GQ. I think they are extremely similar, in terms of presentation, content, viewpoint, etc. In fact, unless I am looking at the cover, I can't really tell which of the two I am reading at the time I am sitting on the crapper. I enjoy GQ very much as well, however, because they are kind of an international brand, i can't log on into it from Brazil. BUT, I still think that Esquires featured content: fiction and interviews, top GQ, however, GQs regular writers are probably more entertaining. For instance, the dude that writes about job and interviewing etiquette. I learned a lot.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) This has some good information on it.. : http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/c...e-a-revolution/ Well duh. I don't think anyone is saying the US isn't doing ANYTHING to try and keep this moving, however, this at-best-revolution but at worst serious recrimination of the ayatollah's regime, was not created by the CIA and will not be finished by the CIA.

In reply to whoever, that all-black charter school really isn't rooted in racism. Programs trying to reach out to high-risk black youths have tried all lots of different ways to educate them. In Harlem, an all-black charter school (and it was also targeted ONLY at males, no females) found tremendous success. The theory is that the way we teach in schools creates a huge cultural divide for these specific students. Consider many of their situations: besides many in single parent, low-income homes which are well documented, many of these kids have poor diet and hyperactivity, and when they get to school they are needed to sit in a desk for hours listening to someone talk that they don't identify with. They had black males from the community come in and teach, and in a setting of their peers there was less self-consciousness and also less acting out as a way to hide that. In Columbia, Mo. a community organizer was trying to put together a school like this for the high-risk black males there, specifically for those who had dropped out, and after looking at all of it I fully supported it. I think outside-the-box ideas like this should be embraced and implemented where practical.

It's important to remember that right now one of the best things the U.S. can do is to stay out of Iran. If we try and mettle the regime will claim the "Great Satan" is out to get Iran and the people will unify against a foreign enemy (at least, it will take the focus off of the unrest at home). We really need to let this play out and one of the best ways to foster this movement is to stay out.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 04:41 AM) The CIA really has f***ed around a lot in Iran though. A good 99% of me though thinks that of the things the CIA can f*** around with in Iran, manifesting civil protestations and popular upheaval isn't one of them. Coups? Sure...but this is far too democratic for the CIA.

And I really don't even think it's close. Best fiction Best interviews Best drink database Clean presentation I love this magazine. I have a backlog of them for when I get home. But I read them now online, and their web site is fantastic, as well. Yep.
