That would explain the smell outside of Wrigley...

- A previously unknown Iraqi group opposed to the US presence said deposed president Saddam Hussein was to deliver a message to his country within three days. "President Saddam Hussein was not killed. He is still alive. He is going to address a message to Iraqis and to the (Arab) nation within 72 hours," the group calling itself Iraqi Resistance and Liberation said in a letter published Tuesday by the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi. The letter said Saddam "has come across evidence that some Iraqi officials had long been involved with American and British intelligence." The mysterious organization stressed it was not "the remnants of the (ousted) Iraqi government," despite comments similar to those made by the regime, particularly information minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf, before US troops rolled into central Baghdad on April 9. The group denounced what it called "a disinformation campaign" by the United States to hide losses at the hands of the "courageous resistance." The organization claimed US forces in Iraq have suffered 1,300 deaths and more than 3,000 wounded and that British troops have suffered 211 deaths. The US Defense Department says 137 US military personnel have been killed in the Iraqi conflict. The British say 31 of their troops have died. Al-Quds al-Arabi is edited by Abdul Bari Atwan, a Palestinian known for his pro-Saddam sympathies.

As a visitor to the city, I thought the Cows on Parade was a pretty cool thing. It was definitely unique and added flavor to the downtown area, where I spent most of my time. I wish they would keep the bobbleheads up longer, because I doubt I can get to Chicago before August or September. You obviously weren't around for the wildly successful ping pong tables they put up all over the city... Those I missed. But hey, imagine walking down the street and deciding to embark on an impromptu ping pong match? Guess you'd have to carry your paddle with you at all times. Couldn't be all bad, could it? No one did it like that! The only people who used them were people who played all of time. The whole impromptu thing flopped.

It didn't make sense to me right off of the bat right away either. I remember thinking "how could he keep quiet for 30 years?" We all know how little Pat B looks for attention..

I have been following it since they were on dateline a while back, when they all thought it was Pat Buccanon. It is an interesting story, and I can't wait until they reveal who it was for sure.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/williams.asp Bingo. This is false. BTW for anyone who has never seen this site. It is the BEST for finding out the truth behind urban legends. They tell you if they are true, false, or unknown.

Nice to see Royce Ring with another dominating preformance on paper.

You mean he hasn't already?

OK who voted for 20-25 wins? I think he will do well this year, but that is insane. Even Mark Buehrle still hasn't won 20 in one year, it is a stretch to think that Esteban will do it.

Another Daley winning idea. They should have just let it go after the Cows on Parade...

Isolationism leads to wars, refer back to WW2...Also if anything a more stable and productive world economy would increase our standard of living. As of now our domestic products suck, we pretty much depend on foreign markets. Isolationism would destroy our country. People think that we don't have jobs now, wait until they had to buy stuff made at American union wages. All those parts and labor we are used to getting so cheaply who go up exponentially in price, and induce hyperinflation to our economy. Not to mention it would dry up our sources of some of our best intelectuals that are now becoming our doctors and scientists, because of how far behind the American education system has fallen behind the industrialized world, because it relies on making sure as many people as possible graduate, instead of preparing them for higher education and the work force. And I could go on and on with this but I won't bore people anymore. But don't let reality get in the way of a comedy routine...

It is a sad state of affairs in this day and age where someone can think that way, and still be in a powerful position in an organization. That is a blackeye for the whole organization IMO.

Now if someone on our team said this the Trib would run an article about how our clubhouse was blowing up and our team was in-fighting again...

Early Borchard predicts 5-5 with 4 HR's, lmao!

COMMUNIST!! What is next peeing on the consititution? J-K!

Was that the Seattle team in the late 90's before they got guys like Nelson and company?

Personell-wise you HAD to feel better about this pen, versus last years bunch. Except for Koch, who it is obvious to me is hurt, I have no idea why certian guys are struggling so much.

Well at least the Tigers are in last place, so we know hell hasn't frozen over quite yet...

We all know the Bulls are MUCH closer to the playoffs than either the Hawks or Bears...
