QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 11:27 AM) Rumor is the strike ends this week, so more house might be back sooner than you realize. Good episode last night. I want Fox Reality Channel badly. Bravo has been boring lately, and there are too many re-runs on VH1. The scene where he does the physical from his Apt was a microsocosum of what makes that show great.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) Funny, she was all smiles last night after the Giants won. She watched at a bar/grill in St. Paul. So either she is as cold and calculating as they come, or she is losing control and having a breakdown.

There is something about winter that makes me miss baseball, no matter what kind of team the Sox are likely to field. I am feel like a 13 year old filled with excitement the first time I see baseball on TV. Its eternal.

TOO OLD? Look my teeth are stil mine even!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 10:05 AM) Hillary does "it" again - in Connecticut. Me thinks she is getting desperate. Again two days before a key primary... How convienent.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) Glad to have "House" back...for now. House is such an excellent show. It is really one that grows on you as you learn the cast.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) Cool it now. You know Ron Paul is the "New Edition." Don't be a Jealous Girl, just show your Popcorn Love. That's the truth about Rexy.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:13 AM) Right, and as long as they stay overseas and are not presented back, that's good for us, right? IIRC I believe that was Milton Friedman's theory? What I was wondering was how/why the actual physical bills get overseas. When one company pays another, it's typically a wire transfer, or in some cases paying their US subsidiary. Why would the physical notes be moved? Sure, its like the gift card that never gets used. It sends up being a profit to the Treasury Dept. Physical notes have a demand, because of the stability of the dollar. People know that there will always be value in their dollars and that they will be able to use them anywhere they want to. That isn't the case with most of the worlds currencies, especially in countries who are in political strife, undergoing hyperinflation, or other unstabilities..

The dollar is the closest thing to a "universal currency" that exists in the world today. The utility of the dollar has a lot to do with it. You can spend them anywhere. The trade deficit is probably the biggest mover of dollars overseas.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) Possible. Clinton would have the advantage of heavy support from Evan Bayh, and the fact that its a red state. But, Obama would have a lot of carry in NW Indiana, and urban areas in Indianapolis, I'd think. That could make a potential Evan Bayh as VP a HUGE decesion for Hillary.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) That'd be the first time Indiana would ever matter. What are your thoughts on Indiana thinking about moving up their primary to around the same time NH has its primary? Personally I am sick of the whole gradeschool game of leapfrog when it comes to the primaries. I am about ready to say screw everybody and just have a national primary day. The only ones who really lose are Iowa and New Hampshire, which are two of the least representative states in the nation anway.

I heard an interesting tidbit on the Sunday newsmagazines yesterday. (Can't remember which one it was, I was flipping around) I guess Hillary Clinton is making a really hard push to the SuperDelegates, which are mostly members of Congress. Theoretically it is very possible for Hillary to lose the race for the regular deleates, but if she can convince enough SDs to vote for her, she could win the nomination, with 50% of voters voting for someone else. Its also possible as close as this race is looking for the samething to happen for Obama. My questions would be after uproar over the electoral college in 2000, and since, would they be able to justify to their voting base nominating a candidate who didn't win a majority, over one who did? And next question is would the Dem's here be able to vote for that candidate if they had supported another?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) I don't know about Yahoo, but I know a couple of gals that will take 20 bucks to show you their hoohoo. But let's leave Tex out of this...

Here is a crazy thought... With Super Tuesday on the Democratic side shaping up to be a super close race, could the May 6th Indiana Primaries end up being a key vote for determining the Dem's candidate?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) I've got like 20 bucks in my wallet...I'm thinking about making a bid too. I am sure that .67 shares will get you far...

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) Damn Southsider, you know everybody's humpin around! Don't be cruel Rex.

There is going to be a big deal for the Hawks here real soon. They are going to shake it up quickly. They pretty much have to.

The trade sucks, but they could offer one thing that we could not. Salary cap relief.

Ebay auction of the day. Hillary Clinton's soul. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=270207275041 The best part is that the current bid is only $15.53

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) Lay off of Bobby Brown. . . to his credit he's the only one to ever beat Houston almost as badly as the 2005 World Series Champs. Its my prerogative. I can do what I want to do.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) Weren't you listening in grade school? There is no such thing as a stupid question! Anyway, the answer is no. The bolded sections exclude Bill. That is pretty clear then. Cool. No duel Presidency.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) I dont think Cuddyer wants to move back to third. From what I remember, the idea was toyed with last year (along with playing Mauer at 1B for a few games) but was shot down This year, you might see Mauer at 1b for a few games. I guess he is going to put in some work at spring training for that scenerio AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't you know the Toby Hall rule about catchers playing first base!?!?!?!?
