I'll try my best Kap impersonation: "Good, now when the state of the nation is all messed up the Dems can only blame themselves."

Xvid codecs?

I'll start with an article about the car company that has peaked (or is it piqued??) my interest. LINK

Happy Birthday Steff!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 04:50 PM) Well, that's true, except that the Saudis haven't OPENLY said they want to destroy Isreal, etc. Other than the whole Israel thing, which of course is a big deal, what's the difference between Iran and Saudi Arabia?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) I must say, that Star Wars Family Guy episode last night was one of the best animated shows I have seen in a long time. If you missed it, find it. And I can't believe no one has yet mentioned the Chicago Simpsons episode - it even had a White Sox reference! Of course it wasn't very flattering but it's kind of expected. Overall I thought the Family Guy episode was a bit disappointing. I had very high hopes for it. It had its moments but I thought it had potential to be much better.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:03 AM) Last night I was flipping through channels and I watched a foreign movie called Tsotsi, i highly recommend this movie. It came out in 2005, its about a thug(Tsotsi apparently means thug in the African language spoken in this movie) who has a carjacking go bad and he ends up with the infant son of his victim, which changes his perspective on life. I meant to check that out a while ago and forgot all about it. I'll add it to the netflix queue. Thanks.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) If they are NOT paying him, and are allowed to ask actual tough questions (NOT "boxers or briefs"), then I don't have a problem with him speaking there. Just make sure the cameras are rolling! However, he should not be allowed anywhere near ground zero. I can definitely understand the hatred flung at this guy but where is the hatred for Saudi leaders? Weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers Saudis? Not only are we continuing to sell arms to the Saudis but I don't hear much outrage against the Saudi government. Their country seems just as wacko as Iran's. Public beheadings and all.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) So in recognition of the Family Secrets trial, I went back and watched Casino again. Damn that was an exellent movie, and an incredible cast. As much as I loved Good Fellas I think Casino was better.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) The Chargers are the most unlikeable team in football. Really? Why? I thought the Patriots had that award wrapped up.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 07:58 AM) I would figure if you are willing to tell people that to have an opinion on something they have to be living a certian way, that you have to be living your life in accordance with your opinion, correct? Well, lets hear about all of those anti-war groups, marches, activities etc that you are in, so that you are able to possess the opinion that you do. You are absolutely correct. I live a life of peace. I practice peace and do not promote war. I have been involved in several anti-war protests since we began preparing to go to war there. I also vote for candidates that share the same attitudes. I then sold my car in order to stop supporting middle east oil. What exactly are you doing to help the cause for your pro-war stance? "Support the troops" ribbons around your tree and similar magnets on your SUV don't count.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 02:09 AM) I don't know what this douche is doing with an "R" next to his name. He believes that the U.S. is to blame for 9/11 for chrissakes. Douche? Are you holding out for O'Reilly and Coulter to enter the race?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) Do you think they can afford $150 million? I do. They will sell out that park until the day they tear it down. They bank on WGN.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) I agree but for another reason. We already have two pretty decent fourth OFers with Terrero and Owens. What role would Erstad play -- backup first baseman? If Mackowiak is a free agent, I'd hope the Sox would try to get him back here -- he clearly loved playing here (even this season) and you could probably grab him for right around what he made this season. Speaking of Mackowiak, apparently he's been playing the past couple months with a hernia that needs surgery. Speaking from experience, that takes a lot of guts -- when I had one poppin' out on me a couple years ago I didn't even think about doing anything extraordinarily athletic. Here's Rob trying to fight through it as a professional baseball player. So why would you want another older, mediocre guy back on the team that's injured? I'll pass. Ozzie doesn't know how to use him anyway.

I'm thinking of joining. http://ronpaul.meetup.com/94/?gj=sj5

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) Give it some time. I guess I can add another Thompson related story.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 06:32 AM) who wants to come hang out with me at the party mansion...NOTHING SEXUAL LOL!! That was fantastic. I love their flyers. "It's not a penis. It's a bicep."

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 07:25 AM) Miles of road in Iceland= about 8000, under 3000 of which are actually paved. Miles of road in the USA= about 4,000,000 I can see how that would be pretty easy to do here... Why the defeatist attitude? We wanted to put a man on the moon and we did. Now we can't match the ingenuity of Iceland?

Is there even a non-salted version of El Ranchero tortilla chips? Every bag I have ever seen has a large banner that says "With Salt" across the top of the bag.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) BTW, I just noticed I made up a new word. illigrants. I like it. Has a nice ring to it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 06:12 PM) Excellent Vanity Fair piece looking back at the treatment of the 2000 Gore campaign and the assault on it by the liberal media. Great read. I've passed it on to a few friends.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) Just checking since I guess by your standards you have to be doing something to have that opinion on something. I am sure you are paying extra taxes and taking in all kinds of poor people so that they don't end up in the military, right? Eh, who am I kidding, you probably are just putting them through college yourself to keep them from enlisting. You have also probably joined tons of peace marches, organiations, and protests to have the opinion that the war is wrong, correct? Absurd, isn't it? Thenm again you would probably have a different opinion of the war if you family had been targeted for genocide by Saddam. Not sure what any of your analogy has to do with the war in Iraq. Where is your outrage and blood lust with regards to other countries with ruthless dictators? Why only Iraq?
