QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) I know, but Rock and I have had a couple exchanges about this. And for the record, I am a fan of the system, I just am waiting for the pendulum to swing further towards the Mission statements as written, instead of the mission statement as interpreted by too many fraternity brothers. The next time I hear a Fraternity member brag about the community service they did, (instead of buying their way out with a donation) or how it helped with their grades, will be the first. The next time I hear about a great party, how they got totally wasted, or "did" some chick at a party, will be too many to count. And former member? Shame on you. Fraternities are forever Its just flawed logic. Are the bolded statements a product of them being in a fraternity or being young in college? Do you remember these statements more because it reaffirms your shallow generalizations of fraternity members as opposed to just a college kid saying it? My guess is probably. Because in the arguments that have happened in this board over this subject, you have had many fraternity members here talk about their community service and grades, so there is no way it would be a first. I'm in a fraternity and am young and in college. I put in many hours of community service that go far beyond any "required" hours we have, and many of my brothers are right there with me. I have great grades. I'm politically active. I'm active in the community. The community knows the potential the greek system has here and actively comes to us for help, which is then obliged by ours. But this doesn't mean I don't get to have the same social exploration of any other college student just because it would feed into your shallow stereotype.

This is bigger than Colin Powell. btw, someone just told me a new shot. It's called the lindsay lohan. It's a red headed slut (this is the actual name of a shot so don't kill me) with coke mixed in.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 06:03 AM) If that song leaked a month ago, it would have been the song of the summer. I hear it everywhere in New York. Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (Vastly superior to the Burt Bacharach arrangement) James Brown - I Got The Feelin' The Gossip - Keeping You Alive D.O.A. - Marijuana Motherf***er Jurassic 5 - Future Sound Brian Wilson - Good Kind of Love (Really surprised how well this album turned out. By and large Brian Wilson still has a sense of humor and it generally doesn't sound too derivative of the other stuff he used to do in the Pet Sounds/Smile era.) Bruce Springsteen - Buffalo Gals Sigur Ros - Hopipolla Tricky - Bad Things Bonde Do Role - Solta o Frango I love Bonde Do Role. Love Diplo.

Still not doing homework: T.I., Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne - Swagger like us Juana Molina - Micael Silver Jews - Night Society Sonic Youth - Washing Machine J Dilla - U-Luv The Beatles - Wait British Sea Power - Please Wait Explosions in the Sky - Day Four Three 6 Mafia - roll with it Mclusky - F*** this band pretty pleasant 10 songs.

Kirk Gibson. I don't know about this though, as bad as I wanna win this year I don't want his career to be ruined.

Unreal.

outrageous, they fire a bunch of awesome reporters to spend millions for this guy? F*** them.

My wording is just exemplary.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 03:32 AM) We aren't going ANYWHERE with this bullpen, but at least we won twice today. because the posters in this forum have been so prophetic this year.

You guys act like yearlykos is a celebration of dailykos diaries, when it's really a collection of the top liberal bloggers and online sites to have seminars about the changing media landscape and changing political landscape in the face of this gigantic new tool on the internet. Once again, Dkos has thousands of people writing diaries everyday. It's not the same as a newspaper editor having reporters below him, kos enables a site that allows anyone to come in and write a diary.

Wow, scary. What a day!

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) Think about this for a moment, how would McCarthyism have turned out if Edward Murrow was labeled as just some liberaly biased media type, or worst a communist? I do not think it is hyperbole to compare McCarthy's hunt for communist with the current hunt for liberal bias. he was labeled as that.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 05:47 AM) I don't like the fact that any of the 4 of them are getting paid for jobs that they are not doing. Why can't they take an UNPAID leave while they run? Or at least refund portions of their pay for the campaigning they do. Voters In Illinois and Arizona elected their respective Senators to represent them in the Senate. If they are not there representing, they are not doing their jobs. It shouldn't matter if their vote 'would have made a difference' or not. In fact, all this non-voting is what hurts each guy, by "McCain voting with Bush 90% of the time" because he has only made like 10 votes all year, and Obama toeing the Dem party line 100% of the time because he has probably made just as few votes, if not less. I have disagreed vehemently with Northside with this sentiment. I just totally disagree. Is anyone to run for president then without disavowing to their job. I'm sure people of Arizona, Illinois, Delaware and Alaska pride themselves more that the potential leader of the free world is from their state than is hypothetically stonewalling action in there's. Research has shown that it doesn't matter. In Congress, the President is in his lame duck year with nothing legislatively to be done. In statewides, I'm sure they are taking it easy waiting for the results, and I'm sure Alaskans will tell you there is no pressing measure. Meanwhile, we are in the most important election of my lifetime, so some things just deserve the attention.

I have volunteered every sunday from 1-3 since June.

GO JUAN!!!

I appreciate the play-by-play guys! Thanks!

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 12, 2008 -> 01:15 AM) Keep your blinders on to the words i wrote, that's fine. Do you deny that he misstated what she actually said there? So, she could just re-clarify what she said. What a difficult job for her.

oh, right, this complete puff piece interview by Gibson was UNFAIR to Palin. Give me a break.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 12, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine? PALIN: In what respect, Charlie? That is wha you say when you have NO idea what they are talking about. Make them give you something to work with. If Gibson had shut up, she'd have had no answer. No, that's what you say when you want the questioneer to be a bit more specific so you don't get caught up in a gotcha moment. If you knew what the Bush Doctrine was it absolutely specific enough. Do you agree with the Monroe doctrine? Andrew Jackson: In what respect? Do you agree with that policy? Andrew Jackson: Like?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) Which is of course...exactly what Obama suggested we should be doing. And frankly, if we can get the guy... That was my point. In the end I think Bhutto's husband won't be much of a deterrant as long as we can stop hitting so many civilians. In my opinion, dude's probably in power because we want him in power.

meanwhile the US is going into Pakistan on raids without their permission.

that is such a black and white answer. None of us can really pretend to understand Georgia/Russia and most can say it's a lot more delicate than we could admit. That statement is just absurdly dumb. Why are we puffing our chests with Russia? We could seriously screw over some allies that depend on their energy exports.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) Policy wise, yes, they have a fair amount in common. Not everything though. But in terms of management and leadership style, and personality, I think they are quite different. I think they are very much the same in management, they both get dominated by the people they put around them.
