That Pence dude is pure genius.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) Liz Cheney: You know, aside from the fact that Obama not being willing to say "I believe in American exceptionalism" being flat-out false, I'm not sure what the critics really expect Obama to say if this is really what they believe (and they do). They essentially want him to come out in front of these foreign crowds and say "We are better than you, we are perfect, we have never made any mistakes or contributed to any problems. The sooner you recognize this, the better." Coming up short of doing that is "apologizing" or "bending over" or whatever the hell. Isn't there some kind of clinical psychological condition for this kind of behavior, where you need to constantly assert your superiority and sense of self-importance? I am now convinced that Dick Cheney is the dude from Total Recall that had Kuato growing from his abdomen. I think Liz Cheney was growing on his side and eventually detached from the host body.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 10:34 AM) This is good.... How? Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) The broken wrist hitting a moveable object and now this. There is your DH for he next 15 years hopefully. Maybe DH for a M*A*S*H unit.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 07:49 AM) Then you clearly don't know how to read. I disagree with the GOP quite a bit, actually. That's hard for me to know since it seems you spend 98% of your time on this board in the Dem thread bashing Dems and their policies.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) The problem is, Balta, that Obama already did, sort of, on Friday - he was pretty damn quick on the trigger when he thought he could take credit for Imanutjob possibly being defeated (of course, it all had to do with his Cairo speech - arrogane piece of s***, but that's another post somewhere else. You can make a nice, generic statement, which is pretty much exactly what Mike Pence did, saying that the US does not support violence or repression - and let's be fair about it - which we all know won't happen anyway. That's it. You don't "pick sides" by saying that. Saying NOTHING does pick a side, because honestly, Obama has something to say about everything in the world to any camera that moves but he can't talk about this? He's already got skin in the game by promoting the fact that he will engage the (current) regime no matter what, even if they brutally kill people who dare oppose them in their own country. Why don't you just admit that this is one of those scenarios that no matter what the Obama administration does or does not do, you and the GOP pundits have an excuse to rip him to shreds.

Caught The Edge for the 20th time last night on FMC. I love that film.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) It's all in how you're spoon fed. Coming from the guy who's been in lock step with every GOP talking point since 1975.

Bring a flask. f*** the Cubs. They don't deserve your hard earned cash.

I'm in the pro Tosh.0 camp. Good stuff.

If you decided to move to Paris would you only want to learn French if they declared it the official language? I don't see how something like this will determine whether you decide to learn the predominant language of a country.

Some excellent blogging by Andrew Sullivan on Iran. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) And what's the incentive for "private care" to stay in business? To get people like you, who hate all things government run, to keep coming back so they can overcharge for unnecessary care.

Poor little girl who did the national anthem is going to be banished from school. Magic were 7-0 when she did the anthem and she blew it last night. I blame the loss on her. She didn't give it her best.

Some more liberal bias in the media. This time on MSNBC. I love the 3rd user comment. LINK

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) And alot of those people arent really lazy people or unqualified workers, theres a s***load of talented, well educated workers on the unemployment list right now. Well too bad. Screw them. I'm not paying for their health care. Let 'em die.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) If you do not work, then no health care for you. Perhaps you haven't seen the latest unemployment numbers.

Richard Roeper on twitter: Woman who just missed taking the doomed Flight 447 was killed in car crash. Sounds like a scene from "Final Destination."

So I'm in line at the supermarket last night with a heaping cart full of stuff. Girl in front of me has one thing so I ask her "Do you only have 1 item? Is it OK if I go in front of you?" I've never seen anyone look so confused.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 11:57 AM) In June, the Sox are hitting .086 w/ RISP. Let's work on this today. I would have thought it was lower.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 09:36 AM) I'd like to point out that most of this week, and predicted for the rest of it, Fairbanks, Alaska is warmer than Chicago. This spring/early summer has just sucked weather-wise. Its been like late March since late March. Its starting to get to me. If I wanted my summers to be like this I'd live in Seattle, or London. I was just in Seattle and it was warmer and sunnier.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) That was a lot of setup for a not funny joke. Sorry. Was hoping some of the oldies in here might remember a classicly terrible movie.

Some sound medical advice for a thumb. Go to the 1:13 minute mark.

Preventative care is a bad thing? I think I've heard it all now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 09:20 PM) No way in hell you let Fields face Verlander. What are our options? Let Ozzie bat?
