QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) I really hate this idea of super-conferences. 12 teams in a league is more than enough. Commie.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) I already posted that in the financial thread. How dare you. I scrolled back through half a dozen posts of 2k5 insisting that there is plenty of oil, and that was the only post out of the whole set that I didn't see.

Lee Evans to the Ravens for a 4th round pick in next year's draft.

Last year, conservative economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin presented the graph on the left to Congress, showing that based on the size of the downturn, the stimulus bill had a multiplier of 1, and that was about it, thus clearly places like the CBO were overestimating the number of jobs it created. If you take the new numbers for how fast GDP was really collapsing in 2008/2009, it doubles that mark or more.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) That's interesting because we are debating on switching to DirecTV because we are sick of paying $70/month for cable. DirecTV is simply not cheap. It is the "You're getting what you pay for" service.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) 11th Circuit finds that the mandate is unconstitutional but is severable. The Dissent is one piece of work.

Sigh

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Jared Sullinger said he's 6'5 on twitter today. Which means he'll be the first fat 6'5 power forward to get picked in the top 5 since Charles Barkley. Although, was he even fat coming out of college? That's Barkley in either his first or 2nd season.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) Might this be a dagger in the merger? No. This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) It isn't a myth when the policy is very clearly to stop any new drilling wherever possible. Which of course doesn't show up in any data. The drilling rig activity count at the end of 2010 was higher than it was at any point since the price collapse in 2008. The "offshore drilling moratorium" doesn't even show up as a blip.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) It is the same thing I have been saying for a while too. The difference is his solution is to do nothing about it, mine is to actually try to cut into that by actually trying to get some oil onto the market. I'm impressed Harry, where did you learn how to cast "Oilus Barrelus"

Wait, WTF, I come back and the Democrats are defending crappy, made up numbers from Joe Scarborough?

Fun gay sex scandal breaking today in the Indiana State Legislature

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Baltimore had great numbers when they had good teams. But that was when the stadium was still fairly new and unique and they had Ripken as their top marketing draw.

Great moments in livebloggery

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) Also LOL Romney "Corporations are people, too" yesterday Sadly, he's right about the law.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:31 AM) STEW CITY! Quick work on the avatar creation.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) They do? Are you implying that his concluding statement that the inevitable Perry-Palin 2012 victory would spell the death of the Republic wasn't written with tongue-in-cheek? It was on the Internet, so I just assumed it was a fact, and that the writer was descended from Nostradamus. You seemed remarkably stunned that CNN would host the rantings of some crazed internet writer.

The NFL banned people from mid-game tweeting a while back. I don't see why MLB ought to allow that. Didn't Ozzie get himself in trouble for tweeting after being ejected already?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) I'm with you guys, awful, awful, awful job by the radio hosts. What the hell were they thinking? What bothered me most was that they immediately got offended when the coach struck back. Then they kept whining about his attitude and continued to cut him off. Then hanging up on the guy and continuing to blast him and the program? Those guys are first class idiots. I am, and will be moreso in the future, a part of the media, and it's jackasses like these two clowns who give everyone a bad reputation. Get your head out of your ass and quit feeling so entitled. Your job is to entertain and inform, sure. But it's also not about you, it's about the topics you're discussing. Good for the IU coach. Glad a person who's not (as far as I know) an IU alum agrees.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Yeah, my mom lost it when she left. Then my roommate and I scored some booze and the rest is history. By "The rest" Steve means his memory of the next 3 years.
