One difference is that the Saudis are moving away from that. They are about to hold their first free elections. Granted without women participating, but it is a start. Saudis are also learning the lesson about being careful who you fund...

So that blows the whole "the US tried to kill her because of the ransom" theory out of the water.... If this is true.

Wow that is something I have never heard before.

QUOTE(soxman35 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) i have heard of this white sox bar called Jimbos i have never been there but i hear it is good i am going to check it out when the season starts its acrosse from US Cellural northern parking lot hope to see you there this season ill be ther a couple of games :cheDescription Jimbo’s is the quintessential South Side sports bar. Its location directly across from US Cellular’s northern parking lot makes it an obvious gathering spot for Sox fans. The owner, Jimbo, is a gruff, neighborly character. For a taste of White Sox fervor, this is the place to come. It’s packed on game days, and a neighborhood hangout the rest of the time. Jimbo declares that his menu includes “everything.” That would be true if your definition of everything includes beef, sausage, steak, chicken dinners, spaghetti and the like. Ah yes, a true Chicago joint. (Freda Moon) Directions Take Red Line to Cermak/Chinatown, hop on bus #24 heading south to 33rd & Wentworth. Walk west. Hours 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday-Friday; 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Saturday ers Jimbo's is an awesome place after a ballgame.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) Considering how the troops are very concerned with terriosts/ suicide bombers and all. They see a speeding vehicle coming towards them and it doesn't seem like its willing to stop what should they do? Let it come close and possibly kill more troops or others?? I say shoot 1st then ask questions. It was completely stupid to not stop for the troops. Of course unless you believe this reporters side and they were only driving 20 MPH or some other BS like that. And in the back of every troops mind is becoming a statistic added to the 1500 there already are. Unless I see something concrete from a reputable source, and not just conjecture and opinion, I am going to side with our boys everytime. I can't imagine the stress of viewing nearly every single person as a potential bomb, every vehicle as potential death on wheels. Yet they are supposed to know in that one instant who is friendly and who is trying to kill them. It doesn't work both ways. Either Americans are going to die, or innocents are going to die trying as Americans try to protect themselves. It isn't a black or white situation, there is going to be a margin of error. The problem is that the margin of error in war is people's lives. Put me in the same situations and I am sure as hell shooting to kill, and not waiting for the car to explode, or for people with AK47's to jump out of it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) The way Podsednick has been talking, he realizes what went wrong last year and has refocused on just getting on base. I don't think he'll be swinging for the fences this year. And on top of that, Greg Walker is an excellent hitting coach for the hitters that will listen to him. He recognizes problems very quickly.

Its too bad, but Jim Miller would be perfect here. Good luck to him.

If you live in Illinois you are only permitted to sell the tickets for twice fact value by law.

That is great. Hopefully AJ can maintain this and avoid whatever happened in SF. Obviously it was an aberration because no one in the Twins organization has ever had a bad word to say about him.

How did you know in advance he was going to be there? I didn't hear about it until that day.

I was going to blow this off, like so much that gets said in SLaP, but this paragraph really, really pissed me off. Now I hope this is an urban legend not written by the Canadian Foreign minister, because if it is, this person is one ingnorant SOB. Does the fine Minister have any clue WHY the Canadians have been able to have a surplus for 8 years? Well besides the near 60% nominal tax rates that most Canadians pay, the US has subsidized Canada for decades. That's right, go back and look it up. Who is Canadas biggest trading partner? Where does almost all of their trade surplus come from? Where do they sell the cars that are assembled in Canada? And as for their fine health care system, who subsidizes that? The US drug companies sell medications to Canadian citizens for cheaper than they sell medications to American's. You want to see the Canadian health care system collapse under debt, charge them what we get charged for the same things. Pass on the double digit percentage increases in the cost of the medications and attribute it to cost and development. Canada is a first world industrial nation, why shouldn't they pay as much as I do for medications made in MY OWN COUNTRY? And as for defense, does anyone really think they would keep their pretty little budget balanced if Canada had to shoulder its own burden for researching and developing their own defense? If the US let it be known that they wouldn't come to the aid of their friends to the north if they were invaded, would they get away with spending such a little percentage of their GDP on defense? I am sure Russia would love to have a foothold to America's north, and Canada would be silly not to defend against that. With the amount of subsidation and protection that Canada gets from the US we might as well Annex and make it our 51st state. Heck I wonder if any US states get a cost to benefit ratio like Canada does, when you factor the fact that Canadians don't pay US taxes, all they do is buy our products on the open market. Canada does not have to go along with everything the US does. That's why they are their own country. But when I see their own government officials basically taking credit for things that are a direct result of my consumption and tax dollars, that is BS. If Canada thinks they have such a great system and ideals, go at it alone and see how far they get. Their system would collapse without the work of the US worker, and it is complete ignorance to think otherwise. /rant

If you are looking for cheap and space, you are either going to be in a bad area of the city, or in the burbs. Chicago is an expensive place to live. Many of the south suburbs are a good mix of cheap and middle class, plus there are tons of public transit to the city (trains mostly).

Kevin Walker almost gives up a bomb to his first batter... lead off batter has been on 4 straight innings for the Giants.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Why do they keep signing 32 year olds to five plus year contracts? At least they are getting some talent. Let's see if they can stay healthy. With the NFL's nonguarenteed contracts, it doesn't matter. You can release someone at anytime, and you don't have to pay the rest of their contract.
