QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 08:00 PM) It is also possible that young people without insurance are in that position because they do not have a job that gives benefits and thus cannot afford it. With the job market, it's reasonable to assume these recent college graduates go without health insurance not because they are risk takers, but because they cannot land a job that gives benefits in the year followng graduation. thanks, especially those who are possibly, trying to start their own enterprise.

I think I might make a caiparinha tonite.

are there big disparities in leagues? (I don't know if he went to a high or low a team, but in any one level could there be large disparities in talent level or park types)

people have such short attention spans now. In my day health care bills were 16,000 pages long written in latin and retranslated into greek, and that was afternoon entertainment. Birth of a nation was considered a short film.

that was like 60 napkins.

that sucks though, no one would understand the "jizz in my pants" song.

sounds american to me, what's the problem? Before who knows what restrictions he was under, also would've lost his job and had a Rovian scheme sent against him, perhaps getting Siegleman'd, not those forces have been marginalized and there's a push to know what happened. What's the incentive for those who could be blackballed from every profession they know unless it can provide some security. I've never really bought into getting paid for releasing info=false info. Many-a important stories have been broken by paying someone for the info (My-lai). Hell, we just celebrated when journalism was great! in Frost-Nixon, where Nixon was paid handsomely.

even if he was merely asked and said no, the fact that the audacity was there to try and manipulate my emotions after an event like 9/11 to further a handful of persons career, is enough for me to laugh at your justifications.

I'll watch it on my ipod

hahaha, k.

maybe he's taking advantage of the supreme major league umpires

I could write a long post about Bush fatigue and how confirming the long held suspicions doesn't even matter anymore, the important thing is just that the press sucked for 8 years. ANd continues to suck. And sucked before that.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) The main key is to drink it out of a glass. After that it boils down to how "snobby" you wish to be. The only one I am a complete snob about: Trappists and Abbey Ales (one in the same to the beginner) should ALWAYS be decanted into a chalice of some sort. If you do not have something close to a chalice style glass, don't even open that dang bottle. Duvel should pretty much always go into a Duvel glass. This is mainly due to the insane style head that is created when pouring one. It doesn't matter how much experience you have pouring a beer, a Duvel head will ALWAYS get away from you. This is mainly due to that being the intent. It is a HUGE, creamy, meringue style head. A Weiss should go into a Weiss style glass. Those are the TALL skinny glasses you see people drinking from. Fruit or no fruit in your weiss: I actually prefer my weiss without the fruit 90% of the time. It also kind of depends on how much I am planning to put down. If I am out to really let go, then I do the fruit. I think the added fruit wedge might help with the following morning. But remember, adding a wedge to your beer instantly takes you from "beer mode" to "Kool-aid mode" and you will find you are putting them down MUCH faster then without the wedge. With a Hacker-Pschorr, that can lead to hitting a wall REALLY fast. correct? And so those short, straight glasses, I believe I've been served IPA/APAs most commonly. I wonder what the advantages are to those.

I mean this just feels like 02-04, where I felt like (maybe 01 but injuries that year were unbelievable, remember when people were actually calling out Herm Schneider?) we should be 10-15 over but were just unbelievably inconsistent, we had a better offense then but worse starting pitching. I just want us to get hot, this is getting really annoying.

I ask because you know, being young you learn things occassionally. But I was drinking ole fezzywhigs last winter out of a bottle and was not enjoying it, the carbonation was masking it and it just came off us more bitter than I like. Then I put it in a pint glass and it sat for a few and then it was a much more pleasant experience. If that's a universal thing, to always put it into a glass, it would be good to know.

I wouldn't mind a run down of what glasses to drink what beers in.

Couldn't remember where the topic about Panetta scratching that secret CIA program should've gone, but so, the reason it alarmed him was because we were contracting blackwater to do it . I'm more than fine if not happy that these types of programs are being enacted. I think these programs are more effective in fighting terror cells than when we were working cold war in the 50s. However, to outsource it to a private contracting firm, especially one with blackwaters record, is outrageous. We, the people of the U.S., essentially contracted a hit man.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 01:40 AM) I used to brew a mean choke cherry stout based on the recipe from Charlie Papazian's origial CJHB book that I bet you both would have liked. I do know what you're talking about though. The Bell's cherry stout is not an every day beer for sure. It sure as hell beats the taste of the gawdawful cherry wheat Sam Adams came out with several years ago. Any love for kreik lambics? For fruit lambics I'll usually grab a framboise first in deference to the wife, but I quite like the kreiks as well. Around lady friends I'll drink the framboise but even with the high AC it just seems kind of empty. It's too light, like drinking sparkling crystal light to me. I did have a good lambic a couple weeks ago but it was poured for me and never found out what it was.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) It's so stupid to try and claim that a player getting injured is a good thing. reference spring 2008: injury to Jerry Owens.

I've had Bell's cherry stout but I just walked away with what I usually do: I don't like cherry.

Flaxx and G&T, Any of you tried Xingu? It's a black ale from Rio De Jineiro I quite like. Comparable to Rogue's Dead Guy, if that's your bag.

you guys still use AIM? I'd love to call you names right now.

no. you don't really need to pander to the far left they aren't going anywhere.
