QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) Then yes, suicide bombing is a way to martyrdom, but you knew that. But is blowing yourself up to avoid surrender considered a suicide bombing?

Piecemeal is hitting the newswires now -9 assembly plants closed, 3 service and one parts... -30K manufacturing jobs cut by 08 -capacity to be cut 1 million vehicles per year by 08 -most cuts to be through attrition/early retirees -"significant" charge expected to pay for revamp Of course GM is up almost 3% on instinet trading.

Any rumors of where?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) It could be reported that the ugly American blood thirsty infidels bombed him and he dies a martyr. Remember their press is as unreliable and biased as ours. It could be reported that he was wearing a dress and a curly wig hosting a teaparty for his dolls... that wasn't my question though.

Happy Birthday Kip :cheers

So is committing suicide to avoid being arrested enough to be a "martyr"?

What no references on here to Bush praising Murtha and his service? I am shocked

He is ordered to pay $30 million. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/18/blake.trial.ap/index.html

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) The Rangers expected higher attendance, and expected to raise the payroll even higher and attract more free agents. To that end, they promised A-Rod certain things that would make the team more competitive. The attendance did not spike enough, the Rangers were not able to attract more free agents, and wanted out of the contract they offered as much as A-Rod wanted to leave. Now imagine if players didn't care about the money. I just want to win. Get me on the Yankees or Braves at any cost. What does that do to the competitive balance in baseball? To follow your logic, every free agent in baseball should be kicking themselves for not signing with the Sox for any price. And as far as going to the highest bidder, how much of a difference is there between the Rangers, Mariners, and Pirates? What the hell else are you going to judge it on? Mr. Owner, I am looking over your offer and please reduce it by $4,000,000 per year and buy another player. Thank God for people like Chipper Jones.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) So what happens when you're intoxicated and heppen to fall onto the stadiums safety net? If you are Yankees fan, you are pretty much trash anyways, so it falls under "debris"

No Pot Belly's love so far? For Shame

Everyone hates Paul Konerko because he sucks. Konerko isn't allowed to hang out with anyone.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) If Thome gets traded it should be interesting to revisit those boards, because no matter where Thome goes I have a feeling it will be for very little current major league talent. The Phils don't have to pay Ryan Howard for awhile, so they can still eat a good portion of that contract and Howard will likely be a bargain. I think we as Sox fans learned how much talent it costs to aquire fiscal flexibility last year in the Carlos Lee deal. Maybe Philly fans haven't learned this yet.

I'd give up just about anyone except starting pitching and anyone in the pen under 30 years old for Ichiro.

And we should leave the country right now?

On the bright side if Peter Gammons ever leaves ESPN, Jason has a shot.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) Its always better when assessing a situation to look and see whats going happening on the other side of the fence Phils fans Interesting to see what they want Because Philly fans on the MLB board are going to pull the trigger on this deal and all

I am actually looking forward to seeing this eventually. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I think this is the one time where the successive movies are better than the priors.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/18/clergy-abuse.ap/index.html Friday, November 18, 2005 8:11 a.m. EST (13:11 GMT) LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- California's Supreme Court has upheld an appeals court ruling that forces the nation's largest Roman Catholic archdiocese to turn over the personnel files of two former priests accused of molestation. The ruling issued Wednesday is the latest development in a battle between the Los Angeles County district attorney, who subpoenaed the private files three years ago, and the archdiocese. Archbishop Roger Mahony has argued that opening the files would violate the church's constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Donald Steier, an attorney for the former priests, said he was considering an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling means prosecutors could scour personnel files for evidence that could result in criminal charges against additional clergy and possibly even Mahony himself. One former priest, Michael Wempe, is expected to go on trial within weeks on charges of committing a lewd act on a child and oral copulation of a person under 16. The district attorney's office has said it is also investigating several other cases that could fall within the statute of limitations for prosecution of sex abuse. "This is an important milestone in addressing the issue of clerical sexual abuse," District Attorney Steve Cooley said. "I look forward to immediate access to files we subpoenaed from the Los Angeles Archdiocese." In a separate civil case, a judge ruled Wednesday that a monsignor must answer questions in a deposition and cannot assert "clergy privilege" to avoid revealing whether he heard confessions of a deacon accused of sexual abuse. "The penitential privilege protects 'a communication made in confidence,"' wrote Judge Haley Fromholz, who has been supervising a global settlement of more than 550 civil lawsuits against the archdiocese. "It does not prohibit the disclosure of the fact that the communication occurred." The church argued that all communications between a priest and a bishop are privileged. Some priests might continue to refuse to answer questions despite the ruling, said Donald Woods, an archdiocese attorney. Monsignor Michael Lenihan was deposed last summer in cases involving three priests, including Michael Baker, a deacon he supervised who later admitted abusing two brothers and has been accused in other cases. I just don't understand it. Why, why, why... would the church NOT want to have these sicko's prosecuted and put away. :banghead One word Bankruptcy.

The only thing I am shocked about is that he admitted it. I have been talking about this for years now, and only the secondary media seems to care about the stories. Everyone is interested in all things Bush leading up to the war, but no one seems to care what anyone else's motivations and actions were, no matter how criminal they were. This scandal extended into the German, Russian, and Chinese governments too, not to mention the upper echelon of the UN, but no one talks about any of that.

LMAO, (website under construction) what a pisspoor webmaster Anyways, I was really impressed with how many charitable things Darcy had written into his contract when was with the Panthers. Plus he tells one great hockey fight story over a few beers

PA often asks people to look at his nano... That is the real reason he is being asked to testify at a trial...

Of course that'll all change next year cause Im being transferred in February but Im going to enjoy the chill time till then. Where are my tax dollars sending you next Nuke?

LMAO. So all of the government officials can scream their heads off about the energy companies record profits, but they aren't saying a damned thing about the record fuel tax and sales tax receipts from energy are they? Can we supena them to testify under oath about why they aren't sharing this money with people who need help paying their heat/electric bills instead of pandering to more popular things like property tax relief? Hypocrates.
