Don't insult my philosophizing.

Very easy way to check; just ask Kap.

That's me.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) "I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." - Jim Caple from his latest article updating the team misery indexes. Put this quote in my sig.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Sure, and they should have been. But the problem was much smaller then because they were funded at a good level, so the only issue was the general problem of the model. Let's be a little more specific though...the general problem was "Not predicting the largest financial crisis since the 1930's". Yeah, there was underfunding beforehand and unreasonable expectations of growth, but it's the financial shock that really made it hit.

Really, I'm serious, help us out.

I think that may have been a Union Board meeting at about 0:45 in.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) Didn't read the whole thing, but the excerpt is solid. I believe that was the whole statement.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20...-of-blood-libel Here is another article. I think the scariest part is the comments. A lot of those were Democratic-leaning groups so I didn't think their response was really noteworthy, since that was obviously how they were going to react. That's why I waited for the ADL. From their statement, they clearly didn't want to get drawn too much into anything partisan...but they felt strongly enough that they did feel the need to release a statement on the matter.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) If Seattle beats the Bears, Seattle has a home game against the Pack if the Pack beats Atlanta. I am sure the NFL is liking how that could work out. In reality if the Pack wins, the NBA fix should be thought of as a Pack/Bears NFC Championship game would be quite the story. The refs can give the Bears the old home court advantage in the name of NFL prosperity. On the other side of the docket all four teams are a good draw. Really, there's no reason for the NFL to care about how games turn out like the NBA does. They get their contracts nonetheless. The Super Bowl will be the top TV draw in this country no matter who is in there. Their playoff games will sell out. They don't need to sell their stars like the NBA does; they sell the games. Their small-city ticket sales and revenue issues are a much greater concern than whether it's Bears/Packers or Packers @ Seahawks.

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) Go ahead and explain why Adam Dunn has never managed to finish in the 20 in NL MVP voting in his entire 10 year career ? How is it that the guy is so valuable but never happens to be even one the 20 best in the National League? Let's hear your excuses for that. In fact, you couldn't even find 1 star player that never did that. Go ahead - find one. Because voters correctly take "incredibly bad on defense" into account when voting for an MVP, and also indirectly take into account "Quality of a team's pitching staff and other players" in that they rarely vote highly for guys on teams with terrible pitching staffs?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) I'm an "Earther", which is nothing like being a "Birther". What we "Earthers" understand is that the Earth will be here long after we are...and it'll be fine without us. Nay, nay. It'll be even better off without us. However, this is entirely beside the point. No one in their right mind thinks we're going to turn the Earth into Venus (By any means other than nuclear weapons). The problem is...it can become a very unpleasant place for humanity.

Again not going to excerpt, but if you want every tabloidy detail possible about the family, including the value of their home and Mr. Laughner's employment history, here it is. I will excerpt a relevant part.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) I'd not be at all surprised to see the state GOP attempt to put on a state Constituional amendment to require voter referendum to increase taxes as well, and they don't need legislative majority to put it on the ballot. "Illinois looks at california...thinks "Man that works great!" and decides to be just like it."

Perhaps you can spread some of that wealth around, just so we can see for sure.
