QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) Again, WTF are you two talking about? What budget cuts, and what does that have to do with my statement? Cutting the rate of increase in the budget is being called massive budgetary cuts in the press, when in fact the real $ amount of the budgets for all of the sectors is going up, just not by as much. So I figured if the rate of increase in unemployment filings has been cut, that must mean that there has massive increases in hiring... yeah for wordplay!

QUOTE(G&T @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) Unfortunately my understanding of economics is essentially nill. My question is what sectors are these jobs in? Are these all manufacturing or government or what? It's great that people have jobs but are incomes generally higher or lower? Both wages and employment accross all sectors has been increasing. Wages have been pretty much pegged to inflation so it has been a zero sum gain lately, but the most jobs growth has been coming from the obvious service and health care sectors, while even manufacturing has been adding to the payrolls for the better part of a year now.

It will be interesting to see which Pharoh it was, and why he was buried so hastily. I also can't wait for the Tut exhibit to come back to Chicago this summer.

The Cubs will sell out again this year. There might be fewer people going by the end of the year, but all of the tickets will long since be sold, so it won't really matter. But I will say this, if the Sox go to the playoffs again, while the Cubs are playing golf, THEN you might see their attendance fall, to go along with an actual groundswell for change at Wrigley.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:52 AM) Can we be a little more forthright in the thread title? They didn't fall - they rose. They just rose less than expected. But that qualifies as massive cuts in the budget...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:24 AM) Oh definitely, trust me, I TOTALLY agree with your thought process. Most girls that are considered sexy are just too damned skinny, mainly those that are famous. I just consider Mariah to be TOO big, but the 90's version of Mariah would definitely fit the "nice, thick curvy body" description. She just has let herself go too much the last several years. Count me in on the EAT A TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER crowd.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:04 AM) So true, however it is against my own principles to say a woman who posts regularly on a sports fan site sucks. Wait until you get to know her...

Ignorant threads suck

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 08:51 AM) The Blackhawks, hands down, are the worst team in hockey (NHL) this year. The Penguins aren't even this bad to watch. I got such a laugh out of that... The Hawks didn't get the rule changes would change the game that much...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 09:11 AM) Karma...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) That's just face... from a scalper they can go up as high as $200!!! A Sox/Cubs game near $1000!!! And the funny thing is the scalper is probably owned by the Cubs as well This is just too funny. Can you imagine the uproar if the Sox ever pulled a stunt like this? Jesus people were holding grudges from the white flag trade for years...

I figured I would give this a whirl to see how many other LOST fans are out there... Good espisode last night. I love the way they try to make Sawyer lovable for episodes at a time, and then WHAM they do something to make you dispise the guy. His plot with Charlie last night was awesome.

To one of the funniest posters on Soxtalk, Happy Birthday you furry little bastard...

-The knothole won't have a view, like the Cubs said it would. -The Club won't be accessible to "regular" season ticketholders, it will be sold separately as a luxury suite. -The new bleacher seats will cost $60 or $20 more per game than the regular old bleachers. -The ballhawks are going to be SOL. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) yes!!!!!!! Let the cubs have that crappy rice beer Budweiser. Miller is the shiznit. ^ Thank you White Sox.
