QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) I agree, of course Honduras would sell the rights to the game to make an extra dollar. Bull s*** I guess I'll give them a break, you know, cause they're in the middle of a coup, and all.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) The saints prove every year that they are way too soft to be considered elite. K, they just went up against arguably the best, fiercest d in the league thus far, and it was their D who beat the s*** out of the jets. So, yeah i think they are a force this year.

We Should Sign Nick Johnson
As I've said before, to fit into our budget plans, we are going to have to take a flier on someone. This seems the perfect candidate. Of course, I wanted Andruw Jones two offseasons ago and cursed KW for not signing him. I am an idiot.

Glenn Greenwald destroys the Washington Post
FOr the moment, I'll stay off balance, and just say the laziness of the WaPo to merely frame everything in D/R and nothing else is absurd.

Glenn Greenwald destroys the Washington Post
With the amt. of experience at that paper, with an ombudsman, you think they'd have time/resources to sit back and realizing that all they cover is politik, and refuse the content driving it. It's a disgrace.

Glenn Greenwald destroys the Washington Post
Thank you, Glenn Greenwald, for hitting everything that has been plaguing Washington news coverage for I don't know how long. http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/200...bama/index.html The whole thing is an awesome smackdown, but the choicest quotes imo are: I really thought that with the relatively-not-much-ado about the Zazi case it's because the FBI finally had a case/Obama administration was being responsible about fear mongering. But clearly they are going to use it to justify his stupid opinions about FISA and the should-be-reformed measures of the Patriot Act. But because people in the beltway are so obssessed with getting a "scoop" the following happens. "Oh what!? You're going to talk to me! Let me write all this down. Sure. Sure. Anonymity? No problem!!!" It hasn't been a good decade for WaPo, or a good week. They have no idea what's going on. They don't give any context. They merely serve to focus on two things: Democrats and Republicans. They choose to focus on talking points rather than content. So they can go to hell. F*** balance, it's the most misused part of the important basics of news. Balance is not = coverage for political parties, it's a onslaught of a variety of views/topics/people/SOURCES injected into the audience where critical thinking can be made. Fall apart and die, most national now newspapers deserve it. edit: mods, title should obviously say "Post"

2016 Olympics
I have optimism they will move away from "raid" solution, and it should be mentioned, the city is 15 mill large, so 2000 is obviously still high, but it's also one of the biggest cities in the world. But, The inhumane things US cities have done to their poor is move them, put them in shelters to hide them, with favelas, i just hope that brazil doesn't bring a big war to them.

Official 2009-2010 NFL Thread
I just think we should be talking about the Saints. That convincing win on Sunday was huge, and very convincing for me. Brees didn't even have a great game, and they put 21 on a defense that I find to be the most dominating in the league.

Decades old war monument in peril
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) That's like saying the World Trade Center is a hole in the ground. Well, I guess I can propose they cross two twigs over ground zero. It would put an end to the years of failed planning.

yeah yeah war on christians etc...blah blah But seriously you'd think after 200 years Texans would be better at picking their battles. Someone could trip over that and break it. It looks more like a trail marker.

Ex-ESPN NFL guy Sean Salisbury is pure "win"
There's a pretty high standard for libel, they'd have to prove not only that it was false, but had "malicious intent". It's rarely won in U.S., much higher in GB. BUT, the court costs of going into a libel suit can really cripple the media outlets.

White Sox Pick up Garcia's and Thornton's Option
QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Now let us hope that we do not have to trade one of them to fill in holes elsewhere. I really don't think we will. I think that's what happens when you have a sit. like boston, with some people being blocked that can make it in. But when you have an overwhelming strength at such an important part, I think you look to upgrade it via other means. I'm not so sure D. Hudson is safe though.
