QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 05:22 AM) We could force people to vote, but if they can't even be bothered to vote on their own, could you imagine who they'd elect if you made them? Ugh. Although in a lot of cases it's not like you can really be that much worse. Hell, James Inhofe seems to be comfortable in his seat. This is truly terribl idea, it is the law in brazil and i find it disgusting. They just make lip service to the poorest, and since they are forced to vote, they vote for those making lip service even though ALLknow they are lying and then but so what, they have to vote.

pathetic ozzie.

I wonder a constitutional amendment could pass for this? I can't imagine that many who'd oppose?

YOU KNOW HE'S MY FATHER

So we are claiming the dude in charge of the web site that predicted the general election with shocking accuracy is just a biased pollster?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 01:44 AM) I was reading 538 yesterday, he was predicting a Coakley win haha but i agree, Brown is not going to be a lock step GOP conservative. dude, i read 538 for the past 8 weeks, silver was NEVER, EVER confident about any of the polls or what was happening in MA. Special elections are impossible to poll for. He also "predicted" NY23 going republican. Neither of them, however, did he express even weak confidence.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) I beleive some of the disclosure requirements on places like the Chamber still survived, but Thomas argued against it. Could be wrong; only just now reading up on the decision, was working all day for once. from what I understand, you just need to donate millions to the chamber, and the chamber can then put it wherever, without disclosing who the money came from.

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.
