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(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.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) I have a beard. I bet 17% fails in comparison to the amount of jobs I wouldn't be considered for simply because I have facial hair. Is that discrimination? I write on my resume that I'm a Sox fan. I bet I'd be denied by a ton of employers for that. Is that discrimination? Well these 17% wouldn't even get called in to see if they have facial hair. They are automatically disqualified because of their black sounding names.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) We should add that to title vii - name discrimination. 17% is not a barrier. Tell that to the 17% of people who weren't called for an interview.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) This is pretty neat: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21116732/ More reason to dislike Thompson. Check out his stance on energy and global warming.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) Give me one example of a barrier that a minority has to overcome that a white person wouldn't have to deal with. Just one. And again, having to work harder than the average joe is not a barrier. http://tinyurl.com/2q88qr Whoops. meant to send this one: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=247013...TC-RSSFeeds0312
