QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) And then I said to you that IMO that's a pretty ignorant statement and a lot of how this hate crap gets thrown around and perpetuated. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA is that what you actually think you are writing when you write : Your hands typing and what you think you are writing are completely different. Where did I say that Glenn Beck and Bachmann should be on trial? I said the EXACT opposite of this. If you think hate speech can't fuel some nasty violence, check out Rwanda.

If "Fed" scrawled on his chest turns out to be a nickname, then I'll take it back. BUt a census worker being killed with "Fed" written on his chest while high profile politicians/media personalities are making patently ridiculous, false statements about the census program, it's not insane to connect the two. Did this murderer, if it turns out to be murder, act on his own accord? Yes. Would he have killed on his own? Maybe/probably. Should Bachmann/Beck continue to be called out for making incredibly ignorant, stupid, hateful and borderline inciteful comments? Yes, period.

kap, i don't understand what you read, if you read, who you argue against, what you are talking about...don't quote me if you are going to place my argument exactly the opposite of what I'm talking about.

The Beckists aren't really republican as much as just completely anti-establishment. Bachmann is republican, and talking about how census workers will kill us all. This part time census worker was just hung with the words "Fed" scrawled on his chest. The conclusion that this somehow might be related is not completely insane. The fact that kapkomet and other republicans seem to take us saying it is personally is. This man/woman who did this is insane. He/She is not rational. He/She is not you. It doesn't mean the hysterical rhetoric from Bachmann/Beck could not have fueled this murder. It doesn't mean I want to throw them in jail for hate speech. But the voices who cry out against these lunatics should not be seen as illegitimate if stuff like this turns out to be true.

I’m not saying that’s what the Administration is planning to do. But I am saying that private, personal information that was given to the census bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up." - Michele Bachmann Well to be fair, in the 40's we were at war with the Japanese. And right now Obama is at war with white people, right?

god, never again please.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) Teams like OU and Alabama had no interest in their games against Boise/Utah. Playing those teams are major letdowns in their minds. The mental aspect is huge in college sports. You think Alabama wanted to play some "mid major" team a month after losing their chance to play for a title? So of course there's a good chance you'll get a close game when one team is playing their Super Bowl and the other team is just there to get a free PS3. Sure Boise stands a small chance to upset a Florida/Texas/Alabama when neither team has played for 50 days. But winning one game a season (Oregon game) shouldnt give you the chance to play a school that has to go through a good conference for 8-9 games for a title. If Boise St wants that kind of respect then they need to atleast get in the Mountain West Conference. I just dont want to hear their fans crying when they go undefeated and 2-one loss teams are playing for the title. I'm sure the disappointment of playing Boise State is so large that they forget they are playing for the national friggen championship.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) You were referring to a John McCain quote? Weird. Sorry I wasn't privy to your inside joke. It was a pretty covered topic and quote during Georgia/Russia conflict. condescension welcome though. edit: I easily could have just referred to Putin's KGB career to justify it, as well.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) Then you need to study Russia a little better, becase the KGB has their own set of interests seperate from either Medvedev OR Putin (thoughly obviously at times in concert). Not really, because I'm referring to John McCain's reiterated phrase where he'd say "I looked into his eyes and saw K.G.B." and then smile showing how tough on the cold war he was. thanks for the accusation though! Come again!

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) It's nice to put them away, but in reality an indictment is enough to keep them under surveillance and make them unusable for generations. I feel this way too. And considering some of the "terror plots" that have been convicted have been much weaker than this, where it was damn near entrapment, I don't think it'll be a problem.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) I don't think he was referring to the KGB being the puppetmaster. KGB eyes is putin NSS

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:56 PM) I don't think he threw the frog in the water. There was a cutaway--likely no frog in his hands. well, that analogy isn't true anyways. So we need to come up with something else.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Been hearing a lot about this out here over the last week. Getting the sense that they were getting close to operational, because they are still looking for some things, and they're talking openly now about the kind of bombs that they were using. Sort of trying to blow up the plot before the plot can blow up a subway tunnel. Sounds like his visit to NYC on Sept. 10 was the last straw to take care of this thing before it delivers.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:53 PM) Hopefully the puppetmaster in Russia will allow Medvedev to follow through on those actions. I think we are getting to a point where Russia may, in fact, act - simply because with oil not being nearly the economic darling to them as it was a year ago, it makes sanctions a lot less painful to Russia. I don't think Medvedev would have spoken without prior approval from KGB eyes. Did I ever speak to the hilarious genius of medvedev working to end the term limits on president so it allowed Putin to run again after he steps aside.

kind of hope lost can add some light without compromising anything. Of what it says in this, how much of the tactics to track him are...ahem...of recent legality. Say...8 years... out of curiosity.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/...b.php?ref=fpblg Still a lot of stuff to clear up, but kudos to the FBI for getting this guy.

Eh, he's doing reverse psychology. "We don't even need the olympics, uh, yeah I'll send my wife, whatever" They are totally gonna eat that up.

More like the RNC will run the ad as proof of Obama's connection to terrorists.

On the whole, I'm typically less enamored with Brit paper's reporting as they'll often take a great alliterative sentence over something that would help explain the story better. If they come up with a great phrase, "bumbling Brussels bureaucrats", be prepared to see it over and over again, whether or not it's relative to the topic. But then again, they are very entertaining. Here's the Guardian's take on Gaddafi's speech. WIth this hilarious paragraph highlighted by Andrew Sullivan: The Guardian full article

Serious props to Obama for getting Medvedev in on Iran. No as soon as health care is done, i hope he gets to work on obvious stupid policies that will cause distractions now like some of what Sullivan is talking about on LEGAL immigration reform where we are losing a lot of great minds because of stupid policies.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 05:33 AM) First of all, how often are games won on a fluke? Rarely. But to play your game, if Boise St is in the NC game and they are close enough to win on a fluke, there there is NO doubt they deserved to be there. You don't win by a fluke if you had no business being in the game in the first place. There mere fact they would be close enough at the end, kills your theory. Amen. Do I want to see Boise in the NC? No, but if they get there and manage to win I'll bet it'll have been one of the most entertaining games ever. You have to respect that team for recruiting the way they have in a place like that. And their victory over Oklahoma was anything but fluke.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 05:09 AM) Have you been to either of their bar/restaurants? They have styles on tap that they don't sell in bottles. They have a few that will kick your ass if you're not careful. Yeah I went to one that was in/by Kirkwood, and that's actually why I mentioned it. I'd never really by shlafly in Columbia, and they really were losing the distribution battle to Boulevard. Shlafly has something awful of design on their beers. BUt yeah I had 2 great stouts around christmas time and another good porter.

can you guys remember a worst august/september than this?

Schlafly has some great beers. I'd take it over boulevard.

are they going to shape outfield like a penis?
