The best is when someone is actually talking on their phone and try to grab something with their other free hand and hold the phone b/w head and shoulder and it slips out and plop. Both hands occupied and phone into glass. Too funny.

I'd fell much better about one pitcher developing his stuff as a starter with another in the pen then 2 as starters. Buerhle learned a lot in the pen and i feel like Garland did too in 01 and 02 when he was put back in there.

yeah everytime I see that happen I can't contain the laughter. It isn't the act, but the reaction after they realized what happened.

they got duped then huh

looks photoshopped.

Yeah, but, if I have to deal with Larry summers as treas. sec. because of Geithner's tax follies I'll be pretty pissed. He paid it now, I'll choose to believe this incredibly brilliant man was completely clueless on "hey, wait, taxes?" than have to deal with summers and the failing female mind.

I consider my night of drinking successful if I somehow remembered to take my contacts out, you should too. To help this, I always bring a contact case pre-filled with contact solution. It's this type of forward thinking that will help me in the real world.

The problem is you won't be able to find someone with qualifications for this job that has clean hands in the financial collapse unless you go to some economics professor who predicted the whole thing.

is bill veeck still our owner?

Eh I don't care. He seems to be considered the most likely individual to help most and it seems like working at the IMF was sticky for a lot of people there tax wise.

I like how the previews has a chick riding some dude reverse cowgirl style.

the point is how bad is our player development at that position when players who look absolutely terrible on the bears go elsewhere and look good.

hmmm...I posted an article.

I really think that the bears are so bad at developing receivers that even if we got a great one they wouldn't ever shine. I mean merely seeing Justin Gage actually look like a competent receiver in tennessee is so far and beyond what he was in chicago it makes me crazy. Same with wade. These below avg. receivers leave us and become respectable elsewhere.

I don't think I agree with that last paragraph, he clearly went after high priced talent last offseason though it didn't work out. I think he clearly just has a mandate to lower some payroll this year and is doing that.

zumaya doesn't seem like someone you should rely on to stay healthy at this point.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9011403682.html not really. Geithner isn't a democrat pick, he's one of the most qualified candidates for this position. further, there is 58 (soon 59) dem. senators, you think any of his people are really going to fail?

What a great game! That 6 minute penalty kill was epic, but Buffalo seemed to lax up thinking they had so much time. WE had the best scoring chance in that 6 minutes. haha, that toews goal was maybe the most boring hockey goal I've ever seen.

Were they pissed off in the 80s when we thought they'd overtake us with their educational and economic superiority and auto quotas, a nation at risk type s***?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) I don't get why he didn't mention his AIDS initiatives in Africa. edit: bmags beat me to it. The AIDS aid has its own problems, though; 1/3 of the funds are for abstinence-only education. Yeah wasn't that held up a lot by Jesse Helms initially. Not sorry to see him gone.

It didn't even mention his actual accomplishments in the area of AIDS relief that he can actually hang his hat on does it?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) That, plus I also think its funny that these predictions are being made now, and by a blog whose perspective is skewed. Well, I'm sure the people whom it was intended for didn't even bother looking at the other inferior divisions

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) "Elitist" is the dumbest pejorative in the English language. I mean, it clearly had its truths in times of a more class structured country, but today is just a buzz word to divide the country.

The supposed consensus of science on global warming has now collapsed? Didn't we just have two presidential candidates who both believed that global warming is man made? good lord that entire thing is a trainwreck. The rebuilding of presidential authority? This is disgusting. How can the man look at that with a straight face.
