I think it is going to be a little bit of everything. Political ramblings and ventings, sports, and generally anything else I run accross that interests me. I haven't really narrowed it too much, I was going to see if I could find enough to write about in a broad sense, if it is too much I'll narrow it down.

s*** if Mihm gets me 15 and 8 a night after using my 13th round pick on him, I'll be thrilled.

Tell us something we don't know :rolly

According to Kofi Annon http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3981517.stm

I need idea for a name for my blog. I think I have finally decided to give it a shot, and to write one for at least a little while. But I am completely blank on what to call it? Any creative ideas out there?

A side note Arafat Bio for anyone who is interested

And it doesn't fit their pattern at all. They will try to wrap up Radke first no doubt, but then they will try to catch lightning in a bottle like they always do.

For the Edwards family

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6399341/ Now for some actual data instead of just conjecture. The only educational brackets that went for Kerry were "little high school" and "post-graduate". Bush won "high school", "some college", and "college grad". So the "uneducated" that you said voted for Bush, voted for Kerry by a small margin (50-49). Depending on what you meant by "educated", Bush won out by small margins in 2 of those 3 brackets, with Kerry winning the post graduates by a decent margin.

I know people are denying it, and it makes total sense. If you have no successor set up, you want to keep order and prevent a big power struggle. So right now you deny everything, until you figure out who is taking over.

#1 Sam Adams-Not a big fan, but I do love the seasonals #2 Dos Equis- My fav Mexican beer #3 Heiny- Definately in my top 3 #4 Bass- Meh, ok #5 Amber Bock- ok, but I definately love Shiner boch much better.

Even funnier----> #33 Texas

Arafat braindead? There is probably a crude joke in there somewhere but I will let it go. If this is true, hopefully some way it works out where it pushes these two back to the peace table.

I gotta say it is pretty shocking to me to see Beltran's name mentioned after the rumors about payroll staying the same just came out of the same newspaper. I really doubt we have a chance at the guy, but who knows.

Fleeing to Canada? Not so fast...

Yes he is.

To me, Radke it worth 6-7 mil a year, and getting him off of the Twins is worth the extra couple million a year. We can't forget the robbing the Twins factor when looking at the worth of Radke.

Indiana is #17, and Illinois is #24 Ha-ha we're smarter than you are :finger

That would have been my guess too. If Edwards had any connection to that stuff, you know it would have been publicized, big time.

What media said that? I haven't seen any links or news shows that have said the uneducated have voted republican.

Kerry was a terrible choice to run. Or at least the people who ran his campaign did a terrible job, I am not sure which honestly. All John Kerry had to do is establish himself as an option, instead of "not Bush", and he would have trounced Bush in the election. He spent so much time on what Bush did wrong, and what was wrong, instead of what he was going to do, and what he stood for. Even with the apathy I have towards Bush, I have to say, they had him on stage saying what he had done, and what he was going to do. Hopefully he can deliver on some of the more intelligent ideas they have had. Social security and the tax systems need big overhauls. Its not a popular opinion, but I agree 100% with the sentiment that at least a part of SS sould be privatized. The government should not be providing peoples retirement funds. People need to give up some of the consumerism they do, and save for it themselves. Up until the early 20th century, that is what people did. Social Security wasn't around for the first 150 years that the US was here, and if people actually planned their finances and took care of their own pocketbooks, it wouldn't be necesary now. Reforming the tax code is as simple as closing loopholes, both on the corporate and private sides. The system itself is fine, the progressive nature of it is perfect. To switch to national sales tax would be to become instantly regressive. Right now the lowest 20% of people actually pay a negative tax rate. Because of tax credits and the like, they actually receive tax money from the government on an annual basis. A national sales tax would crush this. There are other issues, but these are the two that jump off of the map at me.

I watched MSNBC mostly. It was all right. I got better info by reading the election thread, and checking on the internet. And whoever said the stations were afraid, was dead on right.
