QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) Its justice to get rid of a vicious killer not to kill an innocent unborn child. People who equate the 2 are completely clueless and stupid. I would not call it completely clueless... There are plenty of people who believe in protecting life in all circumstances. The argument that there is no right to take ANY life is a pretty damn powerful argument. Its not one I happen to agree with entirely, but its definitely an argument that is worthy of respect.

QUOTE(minors @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) I just love it when liberals cry. For someone who complains about the left always making personal attacks, you sure enjoy the same.

If I were Fox News, I would reprimand O'Reilly for commenting on another station... Seriously, If MSNBC's ratings rise, it could have a negative impact on Fox News. This would sorta piss me off if I were an exec.

How about John Starks

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) In a perfect world, I want the Sox to aquire someone during or right after ST to fill the veteran role needed in the bullpen. I think Baj or one of the 7 or 8 lefties in camp might be able to do something, but that doesnt really cut it for me. I want a vet I can count on in the 6th and 7th if needed. This would be fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe the sox will land a veteran arm at the deadline. Until then, I sorta think we may see some scary "Billy Koch-esque" 7th innings.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) So, what you're saying is, you wouldn't want Mike North? I really hate Mike North. It might be the crowd I run with, but I don't know anyone who can stand him. I guess he must be popular somewhere, because the Score wouldn't keep him... If I wanted to listen to some uneducated moron with no experience in sports, I'd sadle up next to the drunk yokel at the american legion... and furthermore, he only talks sports like 50% of the time; the rest of his show is committed to his inane rants about his own personal politics.

Spending over two hours a day driving from lake bluff to work, I get to listen to a lot of sports radio. It got me thinking, If I were the head of my own station, Who would I pick? here's the list of who I would need: Boers and Bernstein, Tony Kornheiser Lawrence Holmes Zach Zaidman (maybe the best, most knowledgable guy radio personality in town) Dan McNeil Harry Tinowitz Todd Wright (used to do the all night show on 1000) Carmen DeFalco Mike Greenburg Sox Team: Rooney and Farmer (of course) Bears: Jeff Joniak Here is who would be forever banned from my station: Mike North Mike Murphy Jurko Marc Silverman Mike North Fred Huebner Jim Rome Mike North Doug Buffone Lou Canellis Joe Bartosch Mike North

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) This f'd up traffic majorly by my house. It was unreal. 1st avenue, Harlem, Odgden...all a mess. So I stopped at a bar and had some drinks. Always the best way to wait out traffic. Doesn't this seem like this should be getting more press. I''m a little shocked its not on the front page of the sun times or anything

Technically, the Yankees haven't won a world series this Millenium.

thats one of the best articles I've read about the white sox in a long damn time.

I know this is probably true, but it scares the hell out of me whenever anyone says anything like this. I hate giving them bulletin board material. I want Buerhle to have the best chance possible to extend our streak of days in first place when game 1 comes around

QUOTE(minors @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) Well I am not an apologist for anyone I do not support this ports deal, I didn't support cuts to school loans and I most certainly do not support Domestic Spying which I think is a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. Alright, well I appreciate your opinions. I probably got a little more carried away then I should have. I apologize if I offended you... I truly don't mean any disrepsect; Its just sometimes I get upset with the general direction of our nation.. take care

QUOTE(minors @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 01:53 AM) Wow what a quality post, of course if you would have read further down I said I am not sure about the ports and more I hear the more I dislike it, this must have been to hard to do. I guess if I support our president then I don't have any idea's of my own and I am a bad person? And when have I ever said anyone is a traitor. This is like all other liberal attack styles of going after the messanger instead of the message. And by the way Mods what is up with the personal attacks I thought they were not allowed on here??? This is hardly a personal attack. The argument proffered in your original post(that the president thinks its ok, then it must be) has isolated and angered a huge percentage of this country... including myself. Frankly, the republican controlled congress has adopted this "we follow the president" stance. In five years Bush has NEVER used a veto... He has controlled Congress, the Press Corp, and the agenda like no other president in history. It has alienated many of us on this board and many americans also. My assault on your position is directed at you and others who seem to stand steadfast along side the president no matter what his administration is responsible for (outed a undercover CIA agent, lied about the presence of nucler weapons, sold the port rights to the UAE, etc). I invite you to re-read your original post and deeply ponder its consequences. The GOP has enabled the President to take unparrelled power often without check or balance. This mentality that "The President is ok with it so I am sure everything is fine" is dangerous to civil rights and to democracy itself. That mentality is the biggest threat to checks and balances our country has ever faced. Obviously you don't get it.... otherwise you wouldn't be calling for me to be banned. I never said you were a bad person. I didn't swear. Pretty much the only thing I called you was a Bush apologist (which seems pretty fair actually). Many conservative columnists and bloggers has noted that if Bush thinks the port deal is alright, then its good for america. But in my opinion, that American people NOT to think for themselves...

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) i voted for 2 because in the first week I'd rather have Freddy open on the road. It really doesn't matter though, this year is totally different and he may be great at home and terrible on the road. You just never know. Actually, thats a great point... wish i had my vote back

I'd give anything to get down there this year... I'm very envious of everyone that makes it down there...

QUOTE(minors @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) Since our president says it is a good idea then I have no problem with it he seems to be strongly in favor of it so he must know what he is doing. Minors must be the biggest Bush apologist on this board. Will he ever break step with the president? He seems to stand side-by-side with him on every single issue. I am a democrat, and I generally try to respect the opinions of others. Most GOPers on this board tend agree with the president on most issue, but often disagree on some things. I respect their views and applaud them when they feel their own party is making a mistake. Likewise, I concur with the dems on many issues, but will call them out when I think they are wrong... Does minors have any opinions of his own on any matters? Maybe thats his thing... go on the internet and spew Bush rhertoric acting like all dissentors are traitors. Maybe there is a future for minors in the Bush Press Office....

Spring training is the sports writer's greatest excuse to get going on his golf game early in the spring... .... nothing more, nothing less.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 10:02 AM) A little off topic, but I was listening to Randi Rhodes last night, and let me tell you, as a Democrat myself, I was embarrassed. What are these people doing? She was talking about how she's just a normal woman who wants to see justice being done. Then she went into the Cheney shooting and how she thinks this administration isn't above the law, but IS the law because they didn't release the info for 24 hours. C'mon...it's embarrassing, that's why they probably didn't say anything. Anytime a hunter accidently shoots a buddy, it's embarrassing. It doesn't say anything about Iraqi policy, Halliburton, No Child Left Behind, etc. These left and right radio stations are ridiculous...I say take them all off the air. And I say to Coulter...let her swing. Anyone who can be famous for thinking she's smarter than everyone else by using 4th grade recess tactics should be thrown in a room and left there with copies of FHM and GQ for eternity. I agree with you about rhodes. I'm a democrat and she drives me nuts.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 10:18 AM) No big surprises so far. Basically he has just repeated everything that Alan Greenspan has said. You gotta think he is going to want to keep the ship steady until he (individually) has a little more market confidence. Not that the market doesn't trust him, but I'm sure he doesn't want to be rocking the boat shortly after the transition.

Even if you supported the war in Iraq, you have to start questioning the manner in which this administration has generally handled things since the initaial attack. It has been sloppy and destablizing. When things are going this poorly, we have a right to blame the few at the top who are most responsible for the way things have been botched. For the most part, the "republican core" are simply the president's lap dogs. They won't break from the president... and they represent the 33% of America that would probably stand by Bush no matter what. But elections are won and lost in the middle.... and if the moderate republicans are swinging to the left more frequently than four years ago, then things ARE starting to change.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060215/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/rice It does seem like we are moving backwards in the middle east.... I'm glad some members of the GOP are starting to recognize reality.

Just kidding... anyway, I'm pretty convinced she doesn't even believe all the nonsense she spews. She's just really good at giving people (right wing conservatives) exactly what they want. ... and that is how you make the big bucks

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 11:21 AM) No it's not. It's been MADE INTO a big story. If I shot you in the face for a hunting accident, it wouldn't get written on the back of toilet paper. What has made this a big story is the cover-up. Whether you like it or not, many americans (dare I say the majority?) feel that this government is not always forthcoming to the public about its business. Now you can insist that they have always told the truth, but the preponderence of evidence suggests that they have lied about at least some of the issues they have faced during this presidency (plame, wmd, etc.) I also find it interesting that the local sheriff was not allowed to interview Cheney until the following day. Cheney is already not the hallmark of a forthright politician... the whole situation reeks...

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) This story is so old. The media has no time to show pictures of the Danish cartoons, but they can show two year old photos of Abu Ghraib. Once again the hypocrisy of the MSM is apparent. They have no shame. I can't wait to hear their excuse about running these new photos as opposed to not running the cartoons. What Media Bias???????????????????????????????????????????? 1) I would hardly call an australian newspaper the Mainstream American Media. 2) The american mainstream media only showed the very tame Abu Ghraib photos (i.e. ones with no blood).
