QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) Infinitely better than .219 would be something like .325 fwiw. why compare it to swisher than? say he can hit better than jeter . yes i know, compare him to palin bacause she is on the GOP ticket. still, giving better interviews than palin doesn't make me think he is much of a VP. Biden isn't that great, but i've never thought he was valuable, regardless if he's on the Obama ticket or not. go figure.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) have you even watched him take questions? watch an interview on MTP between him and Brokaw, and you'll see why he's infinitely better than Palin. He actually understands foreign policy, he is intelligent, and is perfectly capable of taking over the Presidency it that need happen. You can't say ANY of those about Palin. I saw it and wasn't impressed. I've seen Biden answer questions plenty of times. BTW, being 'better than Palin' isn't much of compliment. It's like arguing that a baseball player is good because "he has a better batting average than Nick Swisher". What that tells me is your guy can hit about .219

wouldn't mind seeing nick swisher and his .219 average upgraded

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-h...let-where-media Apparently the family has asked Obama to stop wearing and talking about the bracelet, but he has decided to ignore them and do it anyway. imagine that, they don't want their sons death to be used as a political stunt by the Obama campaign. classy move by mr.Obama to ignore them and continue.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) Gallup has Obama up 8 points now as well. not sure it's been posted yet http://www.gallup.com/poll/110740/Gallup-D...50-42-Lead.aspx

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 06:48 PM) Right. Sentencing is what we are talking about. Kill Joe Businessman and receive a much longer sentence then killing a drug dealer. agreed. that is usually the case

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Actually you have two people who are engaged in an illegal act (drugs dealing) and one kills another. The racial slurs are kind of secondary. As a society we don't mind criminals killing each other, in fact we generally encourage it. not really. criminals whom killed criminals are the majority of people whom are in prison for murder. a lot of murders seem to be tied to the illicit drug trade.

killing someone for calling you a name gives the murderer no coverage as far as i'm concerned. killing someone for owing you money also gives you no coverage as far as i'm concerend.

it's always interesting to see how these are worded and what the test formulators are doing a libertarian words these questions much differently than say a left wing liberal. Economic Left/Right: 0.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87 i have noticed that a libertarian or right wing test will usually come back with the diagnosis that i am a "liberal" but the left wing test will say i'm "conservative or libertarian" they usually seem to be fishing for answers

it cetainly could be true, and it could be completely false. this is the national enquirer afterall. i'm sure the msm will look into it though. if they think the story is true they will probably go with it.

pitch too close to take energized crowd tonight, even with the Sox sucking

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) Im in the West Loop and couldnt be happier. Close to 2 major highways, lots of stuff around or being built around me, easy parking, older crowd. West Loop is great

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) If corrupt organizations like every bank on Wall Street that helped us get in to this mess can get a piece of it, then why not every corrupt organization in the country? fine with me. no bailout. lol, A.C.O.R.N bailout. they really are pushing things if they think that stuff is going to fly. 100% of any profits from this bailout should go directly to the taxpayers in the form of paying down the national debt.

ok screw this bailout. the Dems are insisting that their corrupt political organizations like ACORN are getting money from the bailout. no deal.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) It was absolutely necessary. Republicans have this stupid strategy lately of pretending they have a monopoly on concern for the welfare of troops. Obama pulled out the bracelet and threw that argument in the trash. it didn't seem effective, was kind of like one of John Edwards 'mill worker' stories.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) disagree completely. Biden actually ENHANCES Obama's presidency - while Palin was PURELY a political move. IMO Biden enhances nothing. He's fairly incompetent and a gaffe machine. I don't think he brings much to an administration, besides flubs and being a national windsock.

was pretty even. McCain maybe won, barely. the economic debate will be more important

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 11:14 PM) It amazes me how bad both VP candidates are. Palin is worse, but they both just completely suck. It has ruined whatever enthusiasm I had about the presidential candidates, because I question their decison making everytime I see their VP's. the both picked someone based on making parts of their political base happy. Biden to appease 'blue collar' white guy Democrats. Palin to appease evangelicals.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 11:29 PM) Atlantic Monthly isnt some hack publication. It's been around since 1857. But it is mostly editorial. well, from what i read, thats way too bats*** crazy left wing for me to trust. i at least trust MSNBC, FOX or CNN to report actual news, even though their selection of stories is slanted. that seems like TheTrumpet or 9/11 was an inside job type site. no offense.
