I smell a walk off by the Tigers. That's the way this series is going.

Therefore, they must not be human and do not fall under any law. We can do to them as we please. Turn them into hamburgers.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) Anyone getting Metal Gear Solid 4 tomorrow? Would love to hear everyone's reviews on this one. Might get me to go out and get the console.

Would be nice to see the offense from the Twins series show up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 10:01 AM) I think it is ironic to look at yours and AHB's avys, while expressing outrage over this with a straight face. The least you guys could do is show a little consistancy. Just like when you all talk about the negative reports about other candidates not working, yet spend half of your time on here posting negative stories about McCain and prior to that Hillary Clinton. Then to top it off, going into the other parties "only" threads to do it. That is pretty gutsy to call other people on the stuff you are doing IMO. I'm not a member of the national media claiming to be fair and balanced. And I shouldn't be singled out with regards to going to the other party's "only" threads. You do it yourself quite often.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 09:51 AM) I didn't say anything about the fist jab. I was just pointing out that perhaps an outraged liberal uttered the phrase 'baby mamma' and they were just quoting them. Why is that so bad? You know, the liberal loonies on the blogs are the biggest bunch of name callers I have EVER seen. Why is it they get their panties in such a bunch the moment they see/hear/read something they don't like with all this manufactured outrage? Or perhaps it is real outrage, showing their thin skin. Calling a woman someone's baby mama is a derogatory term. It implies the woman had an illegitimate child with the man. She is his wife and should be referred to in such a way.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 09:34 AM) Ever think they picked up the 'baby momma' quote from an outrage liberal? I don't understand your point. You are condoning their behavior because "perhaps" a liberal called Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"? How can you condone "terrorist fist jab" with a straight face?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 09:24 AM) I know Fox News has it's biases, every station does. But Fox so far has been the most fair, and that's not just me saying that, many democratic officials have said that as well. I am amazed that there is a large segment of our population that believes this to be true.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) Wow, seriously? Wow. Classy. Terrorist jab and now this. Scum of the Earth if you ask me.

Perhaps we all got a little too excited about the upcoming soft schedule.

Interesting article about Obamacons from the New Republic.

Once again in case people have not noticed, this is a "change" election year.

From bicycleretailer.com Wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall at this event. I'd love to hear Obama's ideas on this matter. Found this on Obama's website:

Wow. That really is awesome!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Really? I have to say, I misunderstood that. I just did some internetting, and you are correct. My bad. I'm also starting to doubt your claims about sniper fire when landing at Midway earlier this year.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) FYI: Jim Johnson has stepped down from Obama's vetting group to avoid further distraction. There is a man in Indiana with a smile on his face.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) where was this John Kerry in 2004? Wind sailing with a latte in hand.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 10:19 AM) Yep. I did. And, Mr. Obvious, I was wrong. I just hope you have a similar prediction for McCain.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 09:07 AM) lol. It's totally in character for the stereotype of the GOP, really. The Dems use populist pandering to get votes, talk about taxing the rich, evil corporations etc. so people shouldn't act surprised when they do it. Likewise, the GOP uses fear to influence votes via whatever means (like this, or like saying "the terrorists win if a Democrat gets elected") or some other tactic like deliberately inflaming racial tensions (basically, Jesse Helms' political career). The exception to this is Hillary Clinton, who does all the above. So true.

BTW, that reminds me...where's Kap? Didn't he repeatedly say "Mark my words Hillary will be the nominee"?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) Nice job smearing all the GOP for one whackjob. Well I kept hearing how we should wait until the GOP got a hold of Obama and that Hillary's attacks were nothing. This is just one example of what I'm sure will be many.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 09:52 AM) What a sound bite!! This could really sting McCain.... McCain: Bringing Troops Home From Iraq "Not Too Important" When asked if he knew when American troops could start to return home, McCain responded: "No, but that's not too important. What's important is the casualties in Iraq." I would bet at least 7 out of 10 Americans disagree with the statement he made.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 09:37 AM) Sure, and I agree with that too. Its yet another reason that I am unsure on who to vote for. I was just pointing out that Obama seems to want to go spend that war money, and then some. But I will also be waiting for Obama to show how he plans to pay for it, as I am sure that Senator Allard may have not been completely accurate in his estimations of things.Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most candidates for President propose a slew of big initiatives when they run and once they get elected only institute a small percentage of them, regardless of who controls Congress?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 09:35 AM) Heck, that 22% may all be working-class white male Hillary supporters. No female Hillary supporter who is actually looking for forward progress on womens' rights is going to vote for McCain. Also, there's so much time until November for the hurt feelings of the Hillary backers to heal, I see it as a huge relief that less than two weeks after her concession almost 2/3 of her supporters are behind Obama. No kidding. We haven't even had one debate between the 2 nominees. They haven't even picked their Veep choices.
