people have been digging and critical of BushCo? Could've fooled me, two gigantic reports saying they politicized the DoJ illegally and that we were lied into the war AND used a legal opinion by a college professor to use torture from the highest ranks (not a few bad apples as was reported), and yet, NONE of those was covered for very long at all. The DoJ scandal has had next to traction, the definitive report on the moments preceding the Iraq war wasn't even in the nightly news, and the torture part of this has been left to blogs and Vanity Fair. So no, I'm not surprised by this. BushCo has gotten out of everything with claiming exec. privilege, deny deny deny and I don't recall!?!?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 03:40 AM) same could be said of Obama, or really any candidate for that matter. in a vague sense, but anyone who followed paul somewhat closely understood the truth to the statement. His policies were archaic, something Zachary Taylor would unravel.

I forgot what his site is but if you just google his name his mixtape is free on his site.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 01:37 AM) Yet how many people voted for someone else for those very reasons? How many people dismissed Ron Paul because of his supporters being nuts. Is it right, not really. It it a fact of life? It sure is. His supporters mirrored the candidate. I give plenty of reasons for people to vote for Obama when I work for him, but frankly when I come into the filibuster I come to shoot the s*** on politics with people who are reading about the election as much as I am. Those people probably have their beliefs and knowledge all layed out. How many casual politic followers venture in here? i see the same names every day.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 4, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) How was this? Pretty awesome. We went to the friday show not the sat. show which was probably longer and more crowded. This was another lolla after party and sparsely crowded, my brother said it was a place pretty far (Ukranian Village). This first act went on, Calico or something, and he was awful. He was trying hard enough, he was just terrible. Once Mike Terror went on it got better. He's pretty good, I was gonna go look for his myspace, apparantly he has a remix of MIA's "come around". Holt was awesome. He's so energetic and Mano's beats are perfectly complementary to Holt's voice and stage presence. I really want to catch him again. It made me put on Holt's mixtape and discover the last half of the disc which is SO much better IMO than the first.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 4, 2008 -> 06:04 PM) I'm not speaking about myself. But people here have actually posted that they like Obama less because of the fringe, overzealous supporters. If someone is willing to change their vote for the most important position in our country because of a poster on a baseball message board...

saw hollywood holt, Mano, GLC and Mike terror on friday Saw Radiohead and Grizzly Bear last night. Both were excellent. I hadn't a preview of what radiohead's set was going to look like. Very cool. They didn't play long enough for me though. Neither did Holt, now that I think about it.

I feel pretty helpless to the awfulness of this presidency. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...1828469,00.html

this is awesome.

so danks is having a good game then.

Go Sox!!! and I'm sorry to ask, but is Griffey in the clubhouse?

well it's certainly the most specific of the outfield positions.

Because that's not the narrative.

always have to wonder about contributing factors with studies like this but that's cool for them.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) I look forward to Hawk ejaculating during the game tonight. hahaha

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) Bowers Single handedly made me go out and buy the "Pump" glove. He made me learn math.

I was really sad that I got to the trade thread so late I missed the trade for Big Hurt/sign Bonds/ all 90s team ftw jokes

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) Im just glad they started Wedman (sp?) Rock Raines made a sweet cameo in that flick.

offensively, from what we were looking at in the beginning of the season, pretty cool.

where's the "excited because we added one of my favorite players even if I'm not sure how it helped us" option

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) You still have to question why they pitched to him with an open base in that big game. he trusted his guys. You know, if he would've kept the ultimatum, I'm sure that guy would've hit the home run. BUt griffey really snatched that shi**.

that sucks. The real possibility of college can do wonders for students psyche from what I saw in my high school. When my classmates saw little possibility to rise the social ladder, High School was just going through the motions.
