I used to love to mimic the Harold Leg Kick as a kid.

Gallup daily tracking poll has McCain now up 47-45%

As much has been made of big oils money going to the GOP, the silent story for years has been big banking money and influence has gone to the Dems.

OHIO McCain= 2,858,727 Obama= 3,246,023 VIRGINA McCain= 1,716,959 Obama= 1,743,781 if you drop the newbie level down to 25% of the extra primary voters... OHIO McCain= 2,858,727 Obama= 2,992,987 VIRGINA McCain= 1,716,959 Obama= 1,599,261 So IMO, if Obama can turn out the vote like he did during the primaries, Ohio flips and this race is OVA. And despite all of that, the polls still are virtually tied.

Any item imported into the US that comes from a company based in the US but produced overseas should have a tariff put on it. Any fraud involving the circumnavigating of the tariff would involve high fines and penalties. Then again we could stop imports entirely by not buying them...

And I was going to say that the moon was in its waning stages...

I recommend actually going to the website to see exactly how much stuff was edited out. Its pretty bad, especially when combined with how soft the Gipson/Obama interview was. 'http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/09/13/abc-news-edited-out-key-parts-sarah-palin-interview

I really like DJ, but there is zero chemistry with Hawk. I am sad this is happening, but the Sox TV booth is better for it.

Happy Belated guys

The streets were covered with branches and all kinds of tree sap. Not to mention that we didn't have electricity for four days and we constantly had to add gallons of gasoline to a disturbing generator. I forgot about those. We had 100mph straight line winds for two years in a row on the exact same date. Just tore MC apart...

Happy Birthday

well now we know how he keeps getting jobs...

Anyone in Baytown needs to go. They are in very serious danger. They almost didn't rebuild Baytown after 1983 because it was so bad from the storm surge.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Sep 12, 2008 -> 01:03 PM) I watch that too...it was pretty amazing I couldn't turn it off. I was locked in for the whole two hours.

All I have to do is watch the moment of silence at the NYSE and I am instantly taken back. It means more to me today than it did then.

The lobbyists.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) This stupid post has been out there since May and now nobody wants to do anything about it. This team is still in first correct...to let it die now would be assinine. I was out of town until now!!! Yeah first place

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) To be fair, however, that's how it usually works with most teams. Otherwise they wouldn't be "good" and "mediocre" pitchers.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) It's too bad a publicity stunt like Barack Obama works in this country.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) Mike, I think you are technically a member of the PRNK army... you do own socks, shoes, and have various stones to throw at invaders correct? NO COMMENT!!!

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 11:59 AM) DAMN YOU, SS you beat me to making this thread by like 3 hours! As soon as I read this story I was all like "Kim Jong Il, Ill? and of course I meander my way over to soxtalk to like, I dunno totally go apes*** on the board and make people laugh... but alas I was beaten to the punch. It will be interesting to see how PRNK plays this, and as stated previously... you have to wonder who controlling the country while Kim Jong is sick. This country has the largest standing military in the world (if you include pebble throwing men, women, and children) and all we need is some goofy bastard to get any ideas. I would bet money that the PRNK army would desert quicker than Saddams army did in Gulf War. They are hungry, scared, and ignorant of the world around them. Especially after they got into SK and saw that life didn't have to be a day to day bet, they would be gone in heartbeat.
