QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) I know the whole first Games in South America thing is a big deal, but the crime/poverty/infrasturcture of Rio is really s***. And because Brazil is hosting the 2014 WC I feel enough voters will feel okay with skipping past them as hosts. Yeah, I really don't think people in Chicago realize that Rio has really s***ty transit. They are one of the few cities in south america WITH transit, but it's no where close to Chicago's. Granted, I haven't seen their plans. Add on top of that the perception of crime for tourists (which is very real, but you just shouldn't be stupid). I suppose with their 14 bill committed they might be upgrading it, for sure obviously are. But after Beijing and how impressed the IOC was with them, Rio would be a pretty big gamble. It's a beautiful city that's much different looking than your average summer games, though. And they will eventually get it, I'd guess. The southern hemisphere kind of screws over winter/summer olympic bids. I was wondering if Buenes Aires could host a winter olympics if it's summer wasn't our winter. Are skiing spots close enough, I'm not that familiar. That said, it appears that Brazil is the best spot, next to Chile perhaps?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) Looks like Perry doesn't want it to come out that he authorized the killing of an innocent man. Well, as per my article, It appears the Obama administration is pushing the conviction of an innocent man who was tortured just to save government embarrassment on something that didn't even happen on his watch. What a joke. All the wrongs I thought would be a cinch for a good exec to fix he's shuffling his feet for this BULLs*** policy to seem tough by being an asshole hawk. Torture is just punishment, it's no tool at all.

wow, yeah WS takes precedent.

http://tinyurl.com/y96hz94 What was carried out in our name. A pretty disgusting, brutal report about an innocent man being tortured to justify the lockup.

I'm ignoring tyler perry shows to no success.

I'll be 29. Kill me

The thing is, those 100,000 stadiums aren't really built to keep in the noise the way Qwest, or, obviously Lucas Oil's is. In fact, when Soldier Field Toilet Redux was being built one of the pluses was it was going to hold in noise much, much better than the old design.

I agree it's gone by pretty quickly. My youth is over. God, by the time 2016 comes around...i'll still be behind ss2k5 in posts by about 30,000, but my youth! My youth will be over!

I doubt these online vids are giving them any profit. Plus the ad pulls on his show surely aren't helping him.

Glenn Greenwald has deja vu Don't blame him. Seems the only unquestionable position you can have in american political discourse is WAR WAR WAR, it's only those that say "wait a second" that get put under the microscope. http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/200...iran/index.html

Seriously, your posts make me incredibly thirsty/longing for sunlight/beaches (come november...Florionopolis). If I'm ever in FLA, presumably that's where you live, I'm expecting some top notch drinks to me made.

What did they commit in that article? Like 30 mill? Where the hell does that money come from when no one can find a situation where these dudes have been hired before? Also...a town WANTING GITMO detainees? f***in do it.

Onie guillen?

That didn't have to do with fathers biting their child's eyes out... http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/...ana.php?ref=fpa What the HELLL!?!?!?! A security firm no one's heard of gets MILLIONS to run an EMPTY JAIL?!?! They come into the town with police tags as a sign of good will? Is this the foot gang?

lol, rex.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 03:16 AM) I'll summarize for you. They are using procedural hocus pocus to attach the public option to another bill that's completely unrelated. Now you're informed. Or something. Snob. I know this is your field and all but it's sort of funny how you dismiss things summarily when it doesn't fit your view yet when it does, you're apt to not say stuff like you just posted. And I really am kidding about the snob comment. You write well - a lot better then most of these so called professionals. sorry, my sentence was incorrect, I actually read the article. It must be the guys first time learning how congress works. besides that, Pelosi would be furious if they didn't reconcile the bill with the house resolution. It always kind of astounds me that republicans don't realize that Reid is such weak sauce, completely moderate and actually their best friend.

I'll read that when the writer gets an understanding of what the hell he's talking about.

haha. Lost was sidetracked putting in a facebook status update that he was about to post a warning at soxtalk.
