Fall of '08 television season thread
I'll be pissed if Shane doesn't get capped at some point this season. I'm not sure if I'd rather see Tavon kill him or Ronnie.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
I just don't see what the McCain camp has done to close the gap in the polls. - He's already pulled out of Michigan and is being being outspent by wide margins in other battleground states. - Both he and Palin are visiting states that typically vote Republican. - Independents are shifting towards Obama. - He is polling poorly on the economy. - His ads are 100% negative. - It's a "change" election. I guess I'm struggling to see where all of a sudden everything completely turns around for him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 14, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) 4) We have recent examples of success with Damaso Marte (until 05), Alexei Ramirez, Jose Contreras, El Duque, Luis Vizcaino, Ordonez, Carlos Lee, Jose Valentin, etc....going all the way back in history to Minoso and Aparicio. Carlos Quentin sort of counts, lol. And Borchard's family spoke Spanish. And don't forget Josh Fields enjoys enchiladas.

Palin, who refuses to give a press conference, accuses the MSM on Limbaugh of trying to "shut me up."

You guys seem to hate this country so much. Perhaps you should consider moving elsewhere.

Should Election Day Be a Holiday?
QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) I don't really think it should be a holiday. I get up a 1/2 hour earlier and vote in the morning, worst case scenario if I was a little late because the polls were busy my boss wouldn't give me s*** So your reasoning is that since your boss and your specific schedule allowed for relative ease to vote, no one should get the full day or half a day off to do the same?

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) I sense sarcasm. Including early voting, how many days do voters have to cast a ballot? Seems like plenty of time to make a choice. This will be the first time residents of Cleveland and the rest of Ohio have an opportunity to vote early. So up until now they never really had "plenty of time" to make a choice.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 10:41 AM) Heh. Right now you are in Phase 1 of a "The Happening" viewer. A feeling of disgust. A feeling you lost 2 hours of your life. Phase 2 is more contemplative. Questions arise. You start to replay it in your head. Mark Wahlberg talking like a 14 year old with his balls in a vice. The man with his arm ripped off by the lion. The scene where the kids are shot. You start laughing hysterically. Phase 3. Acceptance. YOu realize, that in some strange way, this trainwreck of a movie was more interesting in its awful execution than previous given credit. Behold, M. Night Shamylan, the 21st century Ed Wood. It didn't help that every time Wahlberg was on screen I was waiting for him to talk to animals.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 09:43 AM) LOL, that whole video is priceless. "Few people know that community organizing is actually training to overthrow the government. I mean here he was, in NY making 50-60 thousand a year, and he comes to Chicago to make little? Hard to believe, I think New York he probably met Bill Ayers who convinced him to come to Chicago, and then Obama trained under Bill Ayers while there" hahahaha. What's funnier than this, is Hannity calls himself a journalist. My friend, I do not think that word means what you think it means. That man is slime.

Watched "The Happening" last night. As brutal as everyone said. I was hoping with the terribly low expectations going in that maybe I'd kind of enjoy it. What a waste of time.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 8, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) Ronnie soooooo wants to kill Shane. Only problem, is that Tavon will get to him first. About 3 more episodes, and one night Tavon shows up and puts a cap in Shane's azz. I still forsee bigger and badder things in Ronnie's future, possibly even being the one to whack Vic at the end and be the only one to ride off into the sunset alive. I was disappointed with Vic's change of heart at the end, and he should have sent more than 2 gys to do the job. I'm surprised Tavon wouldn't have asked for some type of investigation into the accident he was involved in.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Oct 11, 2008 -> 01:08 PM) I applaud McCain for his honesty. I don't. He should be ashamed of himself. It's McCain and his campaign that started all of this and now that everyone is calling him on it he's finally acting on it. What a disgrace. What happened to the McCain of 2000? That man is long gone.

TrooperGate Report Released
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 11, 2008 -> 07:20 AM) I don't know. Their whole campaign at this point is "Obama is scary" and "we're Mavericks!" Abusing the powers of your office isn't very Maverick-y. I think you'll see them lose a point or two from this, and with the way things currently are, it makes a McCain comeback almost impossible. Indeed. I can't imagine this being a good thing for the few independents that were supporting this ticket.
