Anyone else hate our offseason moves?
QUOTE (CQMVP @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:32 AM) \ By the way, why do people keep bringing up our improvement over last year? Seriously. Last year was one of the most underperforming White Sox teams I've watched in the last 10 years. We were picked to win the central last year with the team we had... Making zero changes to this team, we still would have improved dramatically over last year. There was no way not to. Probably because last year I had to watch an outfield of Darin Erstad, Jerry Owens and JD, Pablo Ozuna at 3rd or Andy Gonzalez, Juan Uribe at short hitting like 190, Iguchi or AG, and PK at first. Yeah, this team is the same.

This thread just drives me nuts, last year we were cheering to lose to get a better draft pick. Now we are in first place in September, and we're talking about s***ty offseason moves? Are you we crazy? This offseason I was scared our cliff we went off of was as serious as the one the bears did. But we turned it around. ENJOY WINNING.

I just don't see what there is to gain beside I guess setting the contrast in how McCain is refusing to be interviewed by Campbell Brown now

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 03:05 AM) If that's what was said, then that's different. But with radical Islam we're kind of talking about roaches on steroids here. They just won't go away. I was saying that's what the dem's said. See what I did there lost?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) Eh, that's about right. But it's kind of a stupid thing to say because it's not something you can "defeat." There is no "victory." You can't "surrender" to it, either. Theyre right, they mentioned specific factions like the taliban Al qaida and leader Bin Laden.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 02:46 AM) I think it could be very good. He'll certainly be cordial, he is a guest, after all. He could come out of this looking great. If he manages to be half as clever as Colbert was, it'll be an absolute coup. guests on O'Reilly's show haven't always left cordial lol

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 4, 2008 -> 01:26 AM) No, because that was pretty common knowledge from way back. so why'd they feel the need to republicize it? Because they are big liberals?

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) I heard this on a news clip this morning. Now if it were, say, Pawlenty (assuming he got picked), this would be spalshed all over the NYT front and center. THAT's media bias for you. You know, at least give credit to the NYT then who started with the most definitive articles on Hunter Biden and his lobbying controversies.

a bit off topic, but Columbia Public Libraries get 4 grand in FEDERAL money for snow removal. How absurd is that?

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
Honestly, nothing good will come of it. edit: one thing I hope he pushes, is to be cordial and push the point, that he may not agree with O'Reilley's views, but he can still enjoy him. Be friends with him. We need to stop this fake enemy crap. If you'll give CNN one thing, their commentators, repub and democrat seem to enjoy each other. It's taken the heat out of the emotions.

Media Bias: Perceived or Real? To what extent, and where?
QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) I just think US is bad because it literally sits in the checkout lanes at super markets and it draws a lot of attention from people that dont really follow politics. It just seems irresponsible to have a cover like this and the only coverage of Obama is "Why Barack loves Michelle." I understand that, but if we are to define on the outset what we are talking about in terms of media, I don't think any of us were going to put US weekly's and that ilk inside of it. Their specialty is stupid sex scandals and all that B.S. and it will feed into that garbage. It stands reiterating, any liberal on this site has seen the pregnancy "scandal" not in even questioning palin, but raising concerns on how much thought and research was put into McCain's decision.

Media Bias: Perceived or Real? To what extent, and where?
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) Yep, about the same value, I think. That's why I do like the WSJ - GENERALLY - they report the news and you just decide (Fox cliche aside), although their board tends to lean to the right a bit. You know, as I've said before, some times newspapers get an unfair wrap because of their editorials. I read the WSJ, I just don't go to their editorials. Their bias is towards business reporting, and they are wonderful writers, but I don't find their political reporting particularly biased, and when I say this, I mean I don't think about it at all. Their writers are so good at making nuance simple, it bleeds from highly complicated business writings to political writings.
