I always assume they pick a party for funding or to benefit from an area where straight ticket voting occurs.

Well, to be fair, greenwald went on a rampage because only a certain number of suspects were chosen for public trial. Many others are still kind of in limbo. So I'm thinking he has a pretty tight seal on these cases. These men are being tried because their verdict is certain. It's not exactly a true symbol of our legal system, but, whatever, I just want them convicted and GITMO's jail shut down.

also funny, I just realized, is clearly my name is my first initial and first couple letters. Ah, it was self-hating.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 03:03 AM) So steroids = ok, nicknaming oneself = not ok? I'm on the record as some sort of steroids apologist?

Right, those are hypotheticals, but one, Holder clearly would not have held a trial if he didn't believe he had a convictable amount of evidence that wasn't gathered through torture (and, as has been documented extensively, there was a while he wasn't tortured and information was gathered). As for the technicality part, that's fairly absurd. BUt I'll reference a couple posts http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/...f_people_--.php http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives...nd-warriors.php There is not a chance in hell they get acquitted. But also, even if some charges they get off to on technical grounds, there are loads of charges they can be put on. That deferential to the gov't in terror cases is an understatement, cases with truly light evidence (liberty six, imo) still ended up in them getting substantial jail time.

Here's an absolutely vital article to read: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/comme...in-1821215.html If you guys want to talk about real news, I'm here.

flowers named himself TFlow? Ugh. I don't like him anymore. Accountability, (referring to Flash (btw what up flash)), in sports trade winds is just as non-existent with established media. There's a reason we called Levine the Carpetbomber or whatever, I don't know what the hell we called him, but it had something to do with reporting everything. And frankly, I knew we'd be in the Gonzalez sweepstakes in terms of interest. BUt the interesting thing was konerko moving to get cash for it. SO anyways, f*** off cowley.

If we do land Gonzalez I really don't want him to be called AGon, that trend should die.

As a journalism major from a top 3 program, I can assure you there was nothing I learned that I couldn't have after one week on the job. And sports journalism, hoo man, they are just a joke.

Last night on the house floor, the idiot Rep from Arizona that held a baby in his hands for health care, asked Mayor Bloomberg (wtf i can´t find quote buttons either) ´You say you´re tough, well how will you feel when Al Qaida kid naps your daughter?´ I mean what the hell?

Think I´ll write this here, also, I can´t find apostrophes on a portuguese keyboard, so bear with me. When did Republicans start to think it´s okay to act completely terrified by the terrorists. What happened to bring it on? I get the they aren´t citizens therefore shouldn´t be held in civilian courts arguments, I get that. BUt the OMG THE TERRORISTS ARE COMING arguments? What the hell? Grow a f***ing pair.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 02:31 AM) they did, but then Texeira showed up, left, and the Angels found a rising star in Kendry Morales, who is much more in his prime at 26, has much better numbers as a switch hitter, and is making less than 10% of PK's money--and for those of us locals who've watched him play all season, can tell you intangibly he's simply a better total pkg than PK, even taking money out of the equation. There's no logic in why the Angels would replace him But they wouldn't be replacing him.

Okay, i say we ban anyone that reports on any early stages of player acquisition, or any fan who puts out hypotheticals... annnnnd enjoy off-season.

thanks steve, unfortunately the internet here makes those streams look like photo slideshows with choppy sound.

Damn, what if we pick up Adrian then sign for cheap one of the many DHs to be had. So many sick possibilities right now. Happy we have a GM who will continually work to get this done.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) What sources did you guys get this from? There's no way we get Gonzalez for Pauly and spects. Don´t think i agree. We´ve been discussing how we might get Adrian for all spects, not sure why konerko diminishes that package. Huddy, Danks, Flowers and Viciedo are a nice group to choose from.

Who´d be better in RF, Paulie or Abreu?

Absolutely. So excited right now.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Not true. Adrian was terrible in MVP 2005. I can hardly win 75 games with these guys as is. Ahh, I play MVP 2005 too. But, I just like to hit home runs and not invest too much. I traded for KGJR, and he had 118 hrs. I play on rookie. Our record is 160-2. If we only had Adrian Gonzalez I would´ve never lost!

This will keep the ole brain occupied. Also, apologies for spelling errors, I´m on a portuguese keyboard, so, I get lazy.

all fluids from nether regions spontaneously, and supposedly impossibly, just evacuated. I hope this works out. Rarely seems to when we hear before though?

Josh Marshall´s clearest, most thought-out post in a while (apparently there is news worth covering besides the Moons and Palin) tpm Again, I really don´t think this is a republican/democrat issue, there is no clear line drawn between those who support this and not, and why. This is a new perspective fostered since a great tragedy. But, again, I think we should remember, these men are not special. They are evil. And now we show how petty and silly they are. They are murderers, evil murderers, not symbols, not martyrs, just low-lifes who will now spend the rest of their lives in a 4x8 cell learning just how nice American hospitality can be.

that was his point lost

REALLY wish I could see some games. But nonetheless, reading up here keeps me somewhat involved.
