QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) It was not a letter, it was an Op-Ed piece. Big difference. Having done both, I don't really see a big difference. All an Op-Ed is a longer letter by someone a little more important or relivant to the subject at hand. It is still an opinionated article submitted by someone who doesn't work for the paper.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) I always thought it would be a cool idea to play NBA pre-season games at more college arenas. I saw the Bulls and Sonics play years ago at the JACC in South Bend... It was a great time.

And let Kap pitch!

Anyone is better than that damned opera singing hotdog vendor in Detroit. I hate him so much.

QUOTE (sox4lifeinPA @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) I made it back alive. What a country. A quick summary: 7 Flights, 2 interrogations, 5 missing bags, 235 Cubans heard the Gospel, tons of photos, 2 hour "rally car" ride, the best food you could ever eat, 0 people sick, and I will never look at the world the same. For those that would like to read my daily journal: Day one is up so far. The Cuba Journal Excellent work Alex. Keep fighting the good fight bro.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) Not every Bear is the face of the franchise. Urlacher already barely had any leverage as it is. I recall Vasher doing something like this at the beginning of '06 and he was politely told to sit down, shut up, and play out his rookie contract and wait for an extension like everyone else. Briggs too.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) He's signed through 2010 with an option for 2011 at a very reasonable price. The Royals aren't going to trade him to the White Sox. Why not? The two teams have made deals recently. The only reason they wouldn't is because they couldn't agree on a price, not because they won't deal with each other.

The double plays were just killer last night. Also we have got to get Logan fixed, he has just been a BP pitcher, even for hitters from the left side lately.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 01:23 PM) how about serving up a little aloe vera for that burn? Sounds like you might need an umbrella and some plywood instead...

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 09:30 PM) Is this sarcasm? Just Tex being Tex.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) If they ran the op-ed, there'd be barely a flutter. By turning it down, it helps McCain more honestly. There is the kicker of it all. It totally gives the right wing something else to crow about. It fully takes away their arguement that they are somehow unbiased and nuetral in the eyes of about half of the country. It was an all around stupid thing to do for the NYT.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) I can think of a few reasons. They are crappy journalists, they are pro-Obama, they are pro-Democrat in general, they are more of a tabloid than newspaper, ect. I would think he would agree that none of those are valid, and that is why NSS didn't mention any of them.

RIP to one of the great ones

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) Jesse Jackson apologizes for saying he wants to cut Obama's nuts off. Seriously. No, I'm not joking. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/09/je...-obama-remarks/

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) That's s***ty. I can't think of a single valid reason why they shouldn't run the response. Disappointing to say the least. And really all it does is fuel the fires of the "liberal" media charges.

Even better...

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) Weeks for McDougal and Masset? Nah, you would have to throw in Pablo Ozuna.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) Were you at the Sox game on Saturday in the OF bleachers? I was sitting in the same section as Mike (southsider) and than my buddy I was at the game with mentioned that the person in group in front of us mentioned the Soxtalk/WSI softball game. He was literally sitting a row in front of you. I figured you guys had met each other . He was the guy that came up and said hey when we stopped over to say good-bye to you all.

So how many people knew about this comic? It ran a month ago in the Rolling Stone. Talk about stereotypes. Yeesh.

So it looks like the June pace of $30 million raised was pretty accurate at the time it was printed... http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/pos...jE4YTg2MjZlOTc=
