Which would make sense why the Sox gave Borchard $5.3 mil.

Andre Iguodala
Deng has got to be my favorite of the possible picks, although I haven't seen any of the HS kid from Atlanta.

Gio Gonzalez to Sign on Friday
I read that only 28% of first round pitchers ever make the majors. It will be interesting to see if this kid overcomes this or not.

What's up with Reed?
I can see how hitting .373 would be overrated :headshake

Flag Facts
Its a symbol of the US, and how we treat it shows respect. It is kinda like borrowing something from a friend. What you borrow isn't the what the relationship is, but how you treat it, goes towards how much respect you have for the person you borrowed something from.

Dems using Reagan to advance policy
Wow and I thought only Republicans exploited death for political gain...

Clinton's an idiot on this one
Clinton should have been invited. If they invited Bush 43, they should have invited Clinton.

Reagan the new face of the $10 bill?
I don't think Alexander Hamilton should be taken off of the $10 because he was the backbone of US monetary policy. Reagan did important economic things, but nothing near what Hamiltons impact was on our history.

Debate on Reagan policies/politics
See the other Reagan thread for two of the biggest downfalls of the USSR that directly resulted from Ronnies policy making.
-
Government Closed Friday
Also the biggest policy change that no one ever mentions but was the biggest detriment to the Soviet Union was the US building tons of infrastructure in the middle east to enable to oil industry to pump like never before. Under Reagans watch the price of crude oil plummetted, making the Soviets single biggest export worth about 30% of what it was from the time period when Ronnie was inagurated to when he left office. That never gets mentioned, and it was a huge, huge push by the Reagan White House. They also took the steps of selling surplus US wheat and grains to the Soviets, which was huge to the US for a couple of reasons. #1 the increased demand gave US farmers higher prices and a brand new market, and it also interdepended the USSR economy on the US. When you depend on someone for food, it is only a matter of time before your economy becomes dependant on someone completely.

Ohio State Fires Basketball Coach O'Brien
OSU has been spotty at best since Randy Ayres left. They had the one year of lightning in a bottle with Scoonie Penn and company, but other than that nothing. It was time for a change.
