And actually in this case, I think that the collapse of the stock market is what started the recession, and not vice versa. The seeds of this recession were laid long before Bush was even a Presidential canditate. The irrational markets of 1999 and early 2000 led to people spending money that they never had. The governments screwed up by cutting taxes and throwing even more money into an economy that didn't need it, and thus futhering the spending spree. It was a house of cards. Like Japan of the 80's the US of the 20's and further back in history the Tulips of Holland, it couldn't be sustained and when collapse came it was ugly.

The guys fall was absorbed by his head hitting the ice. That is when he broke his neck, no doubt. Basically an extreme whiplash injury.

IMO Presidents get too much credit for how the markets preform.

The collapse of the stock markets? It started almost a year before Bush took office. If you are going to "credit" a President, it has to be Clinton.

Anyone listening???? What is going on????

I think on a board that is probably 95% male, at least, it is a default assumption to assume someone is a male, unless there exsists something to instantly tell you they are female, such as a screenname that indicates so.

Some infamous market capitalizations from that day included MCI Worldcom at $135 billion and Enron at about $90 billion, both of which are worth exactly $0 today.

If McCain were the Presidential Canditate, I would vote for him in a heartbeat. As it is looking at the guys record, voting for Kerry is going to be like voting for a leftwing version of Bush. The guy looks like he will (and has in some respects) lie, cheat, and steal with the best of them.

Same difference. The point doesn't change.

So how is using a picture of Hitler in reference to Bush not degrading the memories of all of the Jews who died in the concentrations camps? That is hypocracy.

Yeah the pitching would be project #2. I'd look for more saves too, as they don't know if Rocky will be closing this year.

Try to get a better 2B. Soriano is playing 2nd for the Rangers this year, and Ray's numbers are way down playing half of his games at Pac Bell.

Yeah the ERA better get on this

They try to avoid it, but with pod seeding and trying to keep teams close to home, it could be more possible now.

With posts like this, not soon enough

There is no such thing as too deep in the pen. If we can get him cheap, go for it. If not, don't worry about it.

And plenty of them.

I'm all for it.

Don't you have an old Country Buffet Lunch line to be in, old man?

The Cubs SUCK? :fthecubs

I'm glad someone is pushing Willie. He just makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

On the bright side they are worth 20% more than they were a couple of years ago...

Congrats to UIC. Where our office used to be we were only two blocks away from them. Nice to see a neighbor do the dance
