QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) I believe Jeremy (knightni) had a "Free Mustache Rides" shirt for Jose Valentin available on some shirt site. PM him.

But being named for this is an insult.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) It's only a matter of time now before this thing winds up named after Stephen Colbert. Perhaps this is going over your head. They are naming it after Durst because they think he's a douche. Because he is.

Pretty odd that in 2011 we still have a team in the NFL called the Redskins.

Another reason to love the city of Austin, Texas.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) Wow. Even by the standards of Cook County, which makes the City of Chicago and State of Illinois look like models of fiscal discipline, this is amazing. Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas has, on her county payroll, a full time driver at 94k/year and a cleaning lady at 57k per year. Only, on her budget, they are labeled as "Project Leader" and "Administrative Analyst". The driver apparently drives her to and from work, and to her yoga class, and spends the rest of the day sitting around. The cleaner works off hours as Pappas' personal cleaning lady. When questioned about the payrollees, her response: "I'm keeping them". Now, when Braun was this brazenly stupid, at least in her case, there was no law stating she had to show her taxes. In Pappas' case, she is clearly using taxpayer dollars for her personal benefit. And amazingly, seems to have no issue with that, even when called out publically for it. Note to Illinois AG - time to dust off the laws for improper use of taxpayer funds and start prosecuting. More info on this story.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) And it depends on the larger city as well; everyone and their grandchildren seems to complain about AT&T in NY and SF. Those 2 cities are filled with elitists who expect nothing but perfection.

Mitchell Hurwitz doesn't want to get your hopes up, but expects to have Arrested Development movie out this year

QUOTE (YASNY @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) The ultimate Sox 'stache was Jose Valentin, O RLY?

Coffee is my lifeline.

Those Dave Berry ones are fantastic.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 06:25 PM) John McEnsnow? Martina Navratisnova? Perhaps you should stick to Tennis player nicknames.

Perfect

People still use phones for voice?

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) I hope they tell him he's not wearing 85, and take out the dreds. This kid needs to be knocked down a few pegs. None of this makes sense to me.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) I hope he gets a haircut What are you a drill sergeant or something?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) What baggage? I was wondering that too.

If you say so.

You do realize there are lots of countries with nukes that would prevent us from deciding to take on all of the world's oil reserves, right?

An interesting op-ed from Pixar's John Lasseter. I particularly enjoyed reading about the new character, Danny Caca, they will be introducing soon. EDIT: Stupid swear filter. You'll have to replace the asterisks in the hyperlink to the obvious letters that are missing.

Simon Jenkins of the Guardian and London Sunday Times knocks it out of the park in this op-ed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) Wow. I love him as a 4th outfielder with starter's upside for when TCQ goes down. haha. so true

Pardon my ignorance but who do they have that we could use?
