QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) Actually you are kind of proving a point here... Some groups it doesn't matter what is said about them, other groups are protected against any critizisms or even jokes. Who determined that white southerners are fair game for racism and stereotypes? Seriously, stop and think about the reaction of a group of GOP congressmen had got immunization before going into a set of the projects in Chicago? Would there be jokes being made about the inhabitants being some creatures that we should be wearing spacesuits to be protected from? The message of understanding and peace kind of gets lost when there is a doublestandard that big to overcome. You're really stretching this one. Like I said, NASCAR fans come from all walks of life.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:49 AM) Who ever said I did? If you go back through my posts where do you see me ever saying that ( hint: the opposite is true ). So then why call it propaganda? If you want clean air and water and efficient energy why piss and crap all over Al Gore's message? Even if you think the whole global warming concept is false the outcomes from the message are beneficial for everyone, unless you are a CEO for big oil.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:37 AM) Did I miss something? Has Bush come out screaming that the world is about to end and started proposing legislation mandating massive cuts in carbon emissions and a carbon tax? I must not have been paying attention. Why would a White House spokesman be quoted saying this? Why would they need to implement climate changing strategies if the administration thought that this was all a bunch of BS? And why do people like you hate that people are trying to better the world? Even if for some reason the overwhelming majority of scientists are wrong about global warming, I guess I fail to see how striving for a cleaner and more energy efficient world is a negative. Do you honestly enjoy polluted air and water and gas guzzling technologies?

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:17 AM) Reagan did more for world peace by lifting his pinky finger than Algore did with his enviro-alarmist propaganda film and chicken little speeches could do in a lifetime. They should re-label this award to read "number one leftist award". Propaganda? Then why does your beloved administration agree with it?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:20 AM) I was just surprised at the source. I didn't realize NASCAR fans are a persecuted people. Are you their Al Sharpton?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:04 AM) Pretty stereotypical don't you think? I don't think anyone would think that was funny if I subbed a few other groups of people in there... Why is it this OK here? NASCAR fans represent all walks of life so I don't think it's a big deal. Sorry if I offended you.

Gotta love that Ann Coulter chick. I think she really likes Christians.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 09:44 AM) Not as good of an episode but had some good parts like NIGHTMAN and DAYMAN The 2nd verse to Nightman had me crying.

Have you seen what NASCAR fans look like? I'd wear one of these:

Congrats to Al! Now next Wednesday looks even more exciting for me. I am attending a private dinner for the Economic Club of Chicago and Gore is the guest speaker.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) So, rumor has it that Portishead is in the process of mixing their LONG awaited third album. Has it been 10 years? I'm geeked! Cool. I'll be looking forward to it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 02:00 PM) My son is going as this, when my cub fan loving neighbors ask him what a scary skeleton he is. I am going to tell him, he isnt a skeleton, he is a baseball player from the last cubs world championship team. LMAO

QUOTE(joeynach @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) We have 3 ten game road trips and one 9 game roadtrip. Lame

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 01:35 PM) Anyone ever play a seagul? What was your experience? Last time I did PETA was surrounding my house.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) Washington Post says leak came from Bush administration: Post Article Someone should get fired for this... Or a medal of honor if you look at this administration's history.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 12:55 PM) At what point do these government agencies look into getting out of the pension business, just like most businesses are doing. You hit the nail right on the head. Same problem with the CTA.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 09:43 AM) Well yeah, but they all (other than Hillary) have made it seem like they will pull back 95%, leaving only a small advisory and special ops force, or something like that. Hillary, on the other hand, has said basically nothing. That's why we need Gravel in 2008!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 09:31 AM) You have had a hard on for trading Bobby all year long. Did he kick your dog or something. This is the first time in a long time we have a good closer and the first thing you want to do is spin him for prospects. He is young, and he is cheap. And dont give me the well we could get a Borowski type guy, because those types won't play well at the Cell. Ask the rest of our pen how getting the ball up works in our park in the summer. To me you build your pen backwards from Bobby. You have a Loogy in Boone, Waserman looks like he will stick. This is your starting point. Fill the rest from there. Couldn't have said it better myself.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 08:50 AM) There are plenty of high school kids who would work those jobs. I don't think there's much cost there. I don't know about plenty. Sure some kids will work as a dishwasher but if you had a choice to work at the Sprint store, the Gap, or washing dishes for the same amount of money why would you choose the latter?

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 08:08 AM) So do you advocate just letting him go? What is your plan, o snarky one? He committed a crime. If you let it go unpunished, that encourages others to do the same, since the fear of jail is gone. Even if it was just a doughnut. But yet if you throw him in jail, we have to pay for his jail time. Pick one. Or we could do it the Islamic way and just cut off his hand(s). Since we will all be under their rule soon anyway, might as well get used to it. Oh come on now. You think this is appropriate? You don't just let him go but maybe 15 days in county jail and a fine? That sounds a little more reasonable IMO.

From today's debate (Copied text from MSNBC.com):

I hope this isn't the biggest off-season splash.
