Wouldn't the government then need to hire a s***load of people to help them with the influx of people that need to be covered?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 01:20 PM) I agree, but at the same time they could be more successful using some common sense in what they are doing. Instead of just "screwing around" with the Japanese to mess with them, they should wait till they are actually hunting whales and then try and stop them. If the Paul Watson had a prop fouler and used it when the Japanese were actually going after a whale, it may save that whale. Their tactics resemble vandals and people who are just trying to create mischief. I fully agree. I get angry watching most episodes. For being out there for 30 years they look completely unprepared and clueless half the time.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) I won't pretend to say I read a 1300 page bill, but I have read some of it -- I'm college educated, and I can barely understand it. Are you in the habit of reading most congressional bills? How does this one compare to others that you have read?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 01:16 PM) And I answered. If the public option offers the exact same coverage for a lower cost, most people will choose the public option. What is wrong with that? Does freedom rely on paying more for inferior services? Maybe you're arguing with the board members of Aetna and BCBS.

What are you crazy!?!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) no way they can play any worse than we've seen over the last two weeks. Dye showing signs of life, maybe. I like how the starters have been doing, with one glaring exception who need not be named. Seriously, why the f*** not? 6 games left against the twins and tigers. Destiny... Who knows. Maybe we somehow pull this off during the last series of the season and get the chance to watch Peavy pitch game 2 of the playoffs from a wheel chair.

Oh. So here's where this thread went. I thought I was getting prepped for banishment.

Lets face it. The Sea Shepard and it's 2 speed boats are just an annoying gnat to the Japanese whaling fleet. Why they are still allowed to whale in this supposed whale sanctuary is beyond me. Apparently no one else is doing any enforcement.

Riiiight.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) No, there is a great chance that the Democrats will try to get non US citizens covered by some US public plan. Why is this so hard for you guys to understand? Do you have me on ignore?

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) no thome, btr chng my ptc asap. Is that the real lineup? Can we get a source?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:41 PM) Offensive coordinators are responsible for writing a team's playbook and getting the players to execute those plays. Hitting coaches are mostly responsible for correcting mechanical flaws in players who already know how to hit. That's why some offensive coordinators are revered and paid big bucks (Mike Martz, Tom Moore) or get promoted to head coach and make big bucks (Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, Jon Gruden, Mike Shanahan), and why most hitting coaches are paid considerably less and eventually fade in to obscurity (Charlie Manuel is a notable exception). Sounds like they're not that important in the grand scheme of things. Why are you so against getting rid of one that's had a very long tenure comparatively speaking?

From the factcheck link I provided a bit earlier:

QUOTE (soxfan-kwman @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:27 PM) 1. DH-Pods 2. 3B- Bacon 3. LF-Quentin 4. RF-Rio 5. C- AJ 6. 1B-Kotsay 7. SS-Nix 8. 1B- Kotsay 9. CF- Lillibridge They've released the lineup 7 hours before 1st pitch?

FactCheck.org sets the truth on a wide spread email regarding H.R. 3200.

Maybe I won't toss out my tickets for next week after all.

Apparently no one will ever want to be the Offensive Coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. They just relieved the current OC of his duties, apparently to send a message.

May I interject?

Fighting to Win!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) Hell with it. If I recall you were participating.

Good. Me neither.

Egads! What are you goings doing? Changing the rules of the thread?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) You don't need to qualify that statement with "On the South Side." It should just be "ever." Which is odd. I thought when Kenny hired him, Ozzie stated that he wanted a team built on pitching, speed and defense.

Brain fart, sorry.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) If I do it with the flash drive, what is the correct way to copy it to the flash drive, and where do I go on the PS3 to open the file and play it from the flash drive? I tried it before and it didn't work......I'm not sure I copied the file correctly because when I went to open it on the PS3 it said "no titles" You actually have to highlight the flash drive and then hit the button that brings up the options. Triangle or circle...I forget. Then click details to pull up the folders on your flash drive. Took me a minute to figure it out. I thought there was a problem with mine as well.
