Read up on what happened. There were high level government and UN officials from Russia, China, and France amongst others who were making millions of dollars from Saddam Hussein off of the food for oil program. It isn't like these guys were nobodies, they were important people. These were people with influence.

3 way deal with the Yankees? It would make sense. We could get a Vazquez or Brown out of the deal.

Not downtown they aren't... the prices are way more expensive, and the dollar menu is a lot smaller.

It shouldn't be. The problem is if you increase minimum wages 25% tommorrow, you can bet that 1/4 of that workforce will lose their jobs. Is it worth having 3/4's of those people at poverty level, while expelling the rest of them into unemployment? There would also be inflationary considerations, but I would have to figure out how many people would be affected before I could guess as to how big it would be.

Judges are my favorite thing to vote on I always vote against incumbants.

Yeah, I know... once again my thinking is way to rational for practical governmental application

And all of those people are on the air a fraction of the time that the actual reporting is going on.

That is the prize in monopoly if you get all of the yellow properties

All I know is I always vote at the same VFW.

Speaking of minimum wage. I wish they would just go ahead and index it to inflation, the same way they have SSI. The problem is nothing gets done about it for years, then when they do, it is way above inflationary levels in order to catch up, and it takes years for shock to wear off and hiring to recover. To me there is no reason they can't index it.

Same here.

There were people who wanted to get rid of Rowand after 100 ABs. There were people who wanted to get rid of PK in 2003, there were people who wanted to get rid of Lee in 2002... need I go on? Lets just say lucky for us, KW is the GM and not some people on here.... There would be more damage than Hawk did.

Now on to something else.... Its 39 cent hamburgers, 49 cent cheeseburgers day at McDonalds. Can't we all get along?

cough*nerds*cough And yes I followed every bit of the statistical analysis too

Anybody looking to deal? I'd be interested in dealing one of my PGs (Williams or Livingston) or one of my PFs such as Troy Murphy. I'd like another center, or somemore assist/steals, and some free throw shooting.

Is this the group that was paying a guy in crack to register voters, or is this a different problem?

Any more arguements about why people don't want Pedro? It is just the Yankees he can't pitch against. He owns everybody else. He 3 hit the best offense in the NL in their home park. For my money, Pedro is the best pitcher on the FA market.

Mix some Frank Thomas in there and sell tickets to the pre and post games too.

Pauly Way to be big man. I am thrilled to see an all around good guy and fan favorite recover from the disaster that was 2003.

They have some great players down there, but it is really badly run, based on first hand knowledge I have... I know a kid who was in their system but was a PTBNL and is now somewhere else.

The league oughta step in there too. I think AD finally did a good job of leading the way though. Hopefully this will cement all one for all attitude.

My God what a horrible year. Here's to all of the strength you can get Brett

Damn you lucky dog. One of these days I am going to have to go to a WS game. Problem is it will probably never be here

I think my point is more like EVERYONE has something that offends God, which we refuse to quit. In God's eyes being gay isn't any different than any other sin. I'm not quite sure how bibilically gay leadership is different from someone stealing from the collection, or anything else. I can't understand how we are taking this to the point of schism, but we have allowed churches to shuffle pedophiles around illegally. Which to me is much more than sin, it is turning our kids into victims as well. To me being gay is a victimless sin anyway. I would much rather see the church protect these guys vs pedophiles... But who is driving pedophiles out of the church? Not the church itself, but the courts through lawsuits which are endangering the very financial basis of the churches. And that amongst all of the other sins that get committed in Gods name by churches and its leadership, I just don't see how gay is any different than anything else, even in a biblical sense.
