QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) And your point is? The President can do anything necessary to run this country from anywhere. The Oval Office does not give him special powers that he can't use elsewhere. Look, any time we have a major catastrophe there are going to be situations that can be handled differently. Sure mistakes were made, communications broke down, etc. I would be shocked if that were NOT the case. I just think it is a major crock to be politicking all of this. Why does the blame game have to start now? Someone mentioned because there could be another catastrophe next week? If you don't think that behind the scenes heads aren't rolling and they aren't already working on what went wrong, you are naive. I just don't see the purpose or need for a partison roast through the media. Sometimes, things need to be worked out behind closed doors rather than for all to see and critique. Unfortunately, this country has to blame someone and it all starts with the media. All the media does is turn things into a bigger circus. We have just witnessed the single biggest catastrophe in American history. It has basically wiped out a whole coastline. The magnaminity of this is almost beyond comprehension. No matter what the role of government is, and how many "fire drills" are done to have a plan ready, something of this enormity is bound to be a clusterf***. Rex.. I don't care where the breakdown was, just fix it. Bush to a degree is admitting there was a eff up simply by calling for and apparently heading an investigation. If he's willing to admit it I think American's have the right to question it. Maybe they, myself included because I do think he should have been visible before he was, are jumping to the wrong conclusions, but until all the facts are known that's all that can be done.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) When you pay off the officials, anything is possible. That can be done when you're rich.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Still sour about that playoff game last year..eh?

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) we should just honestly rename that to :steffy: I vote yea.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) My county is richer then yours Brian and I win, Lake county it is. You mean your parents win.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Yes, help the people. Many of 'em right into body bags. It's not politics. It's disgust at top to bottom ineptitude and lack of preparedness. I should have used this smiley... -> :rolly

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) But, but. . . they were TOLD to evacuate. . . Why didn't they all just do what they were told...? :banghead Can we leave the poitics out of it and just help those people...

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) DUPAGE COUNTY...YESSSSS

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I ask the same question about $300 sunglasses, Lexuses, Designer jeans, etc. . . Well hell.. even DKNY jeans aren't that much more expensive than good old trusty Levis... but a $400 stroller... ? And it's not even one of those with the cup holder. on the top. I can see maybe, and that's a huge Godzilla sized maybe, if it was one that also doubled as a car seat.... but it's not. It literally looks like one that you can buy at Target for $50.

What the hell is the need for a $400 baby stroller...??? :headshake

Let's forget about the politics and just help these people...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) I got the gray one with the black lettering, it's held up fine. You just got a bad one I didn't (wouldn't) buy from them but a couple people I know did. And to be fair they've bought most of the shirts for sale out there and had good luck for the most part.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Maybe it just seems a bit early for this to me, but the past few days my allergies have just been absolutely killing me. Anyone else having their allergies flare up in the past week or so? I know I live about 5 hrs south so it could be something in the air down here.... Seems like every year when it gets to be Sept or Oct I go through about a week or so where I just feel like absolute s*** from allergies. I've never had any issues, but Jim's been sneezing a lot more than usual lately and had a sore throat last week.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 07:49 AM) Bad is 80-90. That is incorrect. There are way to many factors in determining a "good" resting heart rate. "Good" can be anywhere from 40 to 100 depending on the person. Here's a few sites that offer more detail. http://www.medhelp.org/perl6/cardio/archive/14051.html http://wellness.lattc.cc.ca.us/131/rest.hr.html http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4701

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) the ones outside the park I believe are $10, but the ones I have seen are grey with blue lettering or grey with black lettering. And bleed and fall apart after one washing.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) BTW, the best shirt out there is the one that says Cub Fans and then it has one stick figure performing a sexual favor on the other stick figure. That one, is pure classic. This one, however, is not sold in the park..

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) She is right, there are versions sold outside of the park that are bootlegged (that are cheap and ugly, btw) and then the black ones that say HE GONE are sold inside of the park. There is also "you can put it on the board, yes" inside the park.

QUOTE(alexgtp @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) The he gone shirts are illegal bootleg shirts. Not officially licensed MLB/Whitesox merchandise. So you can only buy those outside the park. Incorrect.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Exactly, plus isn't Wills happy in TB? That's what he says.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) I repeat, Farmer is going to do PBP, why would they bring back Wills? He is a PBP guy, not color. Feels like this -> :banghead :banghead

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) P.S.:Dave Wills should be given the vacantcy if John leaves (Which I hope it doesn't happen). Dave Wills has a job, and is under contract.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) really? is this relatively new? as far as i ever knew it was always a bootlegger thing in the parking lots My sister bought "he gone" back in May in the park.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) outside the park in the parking lots that's about it They are for sale in the park.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) God Bless them and all the volunteers. I spent 5 hours volunteering with them on Sunday... truly amazing individuals.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I completely agree. Thats why Ive been saying all along.........forget about politics, lets help these people. Rich.. super rich.. like Oprah rich.
