I DON'T THINK AHB WAS OUTRAGED, I JUST THINK HE POINTED OUT A FUNNY NEWS ARTICLE THAT SHE CLEARLY HAS NO IDEA ABOUT KISSINGERS IDEOLOGY SO WHY WOULD SHE CLAIM TO THINK WHAT HE SAID. I'M WRITING IN CAPS LOCK UNTIL THE WHITE SOX TIE THE DIVISION.

I'M LISTENIN TO THE F'N SONG

Well I feel it. but then again, unlike so many, the enjoyment of my fandom isn't based on being right on my predictions that the sox will suck. I just kind of hope they win, but realize that they've overcome a ton of obstacles to be in first out of no where, and then they lost their MVP, a pitching starter, and their set up man. But yeah, F this team right. f***in losers. I hope they beat the s*** out of Nathan.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 03:06 AM) I still can't believe this joke of a team has been in 1st all year. It seriously blows my mind. "We're a better team than Minnesota?" My ass. Shut up.

Let's go sox, I have enough stress as it is with an Econ test tomorrow. f***in Jack the s*** out of him. SWEARS!!!

GOD WE ARE THE WORST TEAM EVER WE ARE DOWN A RUN IN THE THIRD INNING WE SHOULD PACK IT UP AND GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with SS, I just want to see some oversight on how the money is spent. I also don't want to see no bid contracts on advising.

I am just laughing. Ha. HE PUTS COUNTRY FIRST!!!

yep, tried the game thread, not for me.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) Where do you make the leap to McCain/Biden? McCain likely would have the majority of states, whereas obama would have the two huge population states, Cali and New York.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) Michelle & Co. - Looks like Joe Biden, in his interview with Katie Couric, was copying off the wrong classmate’s exam again. He said (video here): “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’” My recollection is that the stock market crash was in 1929. Two problems here: Television did not even exist in 1929, and FDR was elected in 1932, so he wasn’t even the leader at the time of the crash. When Joe was in history class, was he cheating by looking over the class dunce’s shoulder, or does he just make this stuff up? Of course, TV celebrity Katie Couric also didn’t note that Biden’s statement was doubly incorrect. Her goal was a softball puff piece.” OMG A PUFFPIECE FROM KATIE COURIC

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) I have a very serious dislike for Sarah Palin and the way they are trying to completely shield her from the media. I'm glad her favorability ratings are plummeting. The very reason the media is so hard on her is because they are keeping her such a secret. This is a presidential race, an important one at that, she is second in line, you can't shield her except for scripted speeches. This is an absolute disgrace. This is a slap in the face to democracy. I pray that McCain does not get away with this and skip into the presidency. The nation will never recover from such a campaign. The media never will either.

tinker v. ohio, wasn't that where the girl wore the black armband protesting the Vietnam war. and so then the school kicked her out, Supreme Court ruled in favor of her. But perhaps, black is less disruptive, than say, an anti obama ribbon if it has writing on it. Not sure what the deal is here.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) When you say stupid things every day for the last 35 years, people stop noticing as much. Palin's comments don't get the 100 point headline on Drudge though. Honestly and seriously though, I think there may be a perception difference between the tickets that might account for that. Biden is the experience guy here, and the line from the Obama campaign has always been that Obama wanted a substantive running mate who can have respectful disagreements with. Palin is seen as the Stepford candidate, and when your campaign is using phrases like "learning at the foot of the master," to describe her - it makes her comments seem a bit more outrageous. And the other reason why I think the media has turned on McCain/Palin? And I think they have by the way, has to do with access. Outside of those carefully planned and detailed few interviews Palin has given, she has not had one single media avail, and has not taken one reporter's question on the campaign trail. McCain hasn't taken a single question from any non-local reporter in over five weeks either. If you don't acknowledge or talk to the press, I'd wager they are less likely to give you the benefit of the doubt. And further, F*** balance v. accuracy. Obama has not had the type of ridiculous statements and false ads that the McCain camp has, and since it has a duty to cut through the spin, it isn't f'n bias to cover more time to uncover the party who is doing, frankly, more of the lying. This whining and b****ing about the media from the McCain campaign is a disgrace. Stop blaming the media, the sad part is it worked for clinton, but I don't think it'll work for McCain. B/c the media genuinely was so interested in Obama in the primaries, the best leg of his campaign, that they were self-conscious on how to cover him. But McCain has been actively lying and then chastising the media, when he used to embrace them. There is a great three part series on McCain in Esquire, I suggest you all take th etime to read it. Esquire does awesome profile pieces.

I'm just torn. The electoral college, for all it's faults, is still kind of fascinating. The campaign strategy to going to battleground states. Trying to find a message to maximize the amount that will vote for you. What would a national campaign look like if it was just popular? Would then the cities get all the attention?

i.e. Tiger Woods.

wouldn't that be violating tinker?

plus, either way, isn't it possible that Hagel could vote Obama anyway?

Well, technically, if the kid wanted to wear an anti-obama ribbon and not make any scene about it, he could do that no?

please, you don't see arabs good at basketball do you?

The sad thing: the dad probably helped him make that shirt! Motor skills people, develop em.

budget enforcement act of 1990 I believe that this helped us get our surplus in the nineties.
