Obama on the Tyra Banks show today. I think it's on right now in Chicago.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 01:26 PM) Obviously, I suffer from not being able to articulate things because I agree 100% with what you picked out of that speech, and I've said it here and other places: it's ABSOLUTELY the way this president and others have presented this "war on terror". This speech sums up this struggle about the best I have seen it done. I wish that the knuckleheads in Washington could see things this way instead of screaming back and forth for the power elements. I don't recall your response to Obama saying that he would launch a precise strike in the mountains of Pakistan if there was evidence where Bin Laden was. But look at what Huckabee has to say about Pakistan. Obama's remarks make even more sense to me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 01:30 PM) The problem is that the speech doesn't fit into a 5 second soundbyte. You would literally have 95% of America changing the channel if you tried to explain the Middle East in that fashion. Its just sad to be honest. Most American's don't understand the rest of the world, because we only see things through our own eyes. Bingo.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) Supposedly it's also in the $17-$20 million range. IIRC from last time, Obama's camp was out in front on its fundraising numbers as well. Probably because they think, correctly, it's good press to see them hanging with the Clintons. Regardless of early polls I have a feeling Obama is going to be a major player down the stretch. Just look at the crowds he gets at some of his appearances. The guy is blowing up, figuratively of course.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:54 PM) I'll ask you directly, B.S., what do you think about that speech? I think this line from his speech sums up my thoughts best: We can’t ‘export’ democracy as if it was Coca Cola or KFC, but we can nurture native moderate forces in all these countries where Al Qaeda seeks to replace modern evil with medieval evil. Overall a very good speech from Huckabee.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:59 PM) I like how he is standing on a footstool in that picture so he looks taller than her. Actually she is sitting down as he's standing.

Yeah but Kucinich has the best looking spouse. That's all that matters.

Another $19M for Obama. He is a money making machine.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:18 PM) Does Comcast Chicago Carry TBS HD? Anyone know? Time for you to order DirecTv.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 11:09 AM) When do they give those out? I don't know but Kanye West is going to be pissed. (SNL reference)

Here are some highlights from a speech Huckabee made Friday morning at a foreign policy forum hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C. Full Transcript

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 09:15 AM) This is universally true - they all have some spin answer instead of just straight up saying "I don't know, I'll research it and get back to you". Thompson just hasn't learned that he has to have some generic bulls*** answer for everything, even if he doesn't know a thing about it. He will though, give him time. So I guess my question is what the heck has he been doing all year? How many "I don't know" answers is he going to give us?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) Hott Fuzz is absolutey awful (and I loved Shaun of the Dead). I had to turn the s*** off halfway into it for being so bad. I completely agree.

I find it amazing that a team with one of the worst records in baseball has a closer with 40 saves. Doesn't seem logical.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 09:02 AM) Please. This guy made his money by being an ambulance chaser. He's scum and stupid comments like this don't help. I'm not a fan of his but come on. You act like you have some personal dirt on him. Did he eat aborted fetuses or something? Sheesh.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 02:29 AM) Probably 8th or 9th best in the AL. Has there ever been a time where the difference between leagues has been this lopsided? How about last year? The Cards were just as lousy and won it all.

I'll take Huckabee. Maybe I'll learn something from the dark side.

Is there a bigger douche bag on TV than Dennis? I love it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 08:59 AM) I've heard that. I haven't been there yet, but most people I know who have, tell me its the best city in Texas. I've been in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Amarillo... just not Austin yet. I would definitely say it is. I haven't been to Madison WI since I was a kid but a lot of people compare the 2. I'd love to go back soon....to Austin that is.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 11:37 AM) Haha! I beat BiqSqwert! I get Kucinich! Dammit! The one day I take off of work and I miss this. I'll need to think about who to pick.

The Bush administration fails us again. Admitting belief in crackpot global warming theory.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 27, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) I love the F+, I don't think its used enough. The plus is for effort. He just really sucked.

QUOTE(max power @ Sep 27, 2007 -> 03:58 PM) Some of you are taking this pretty f***ing seriously. hahaha Perhaps you should take this more seriously.
