Off topic, do you see that guy in the background with his shirt open? He's got some nasty man-boobs.

The best offseason was the last one. It was fun for me to think of all those Cub fans thinking about what coulda been. Ha!

Is the other one Molly Ivins?

I will probably get laughed at, but I'm a bit of a romantic and believe that an average Joe could still run for and win the Presidency. Yes, it would be extremely difficult and would have to be the perfect campaign, but I think it could happen.

Did you check out the other ones? Cool stuff.

wtf?

You remember seeing him grounds keep, cw?

Yeah. I hate when people say "special interests". Look, we're all part of a special interrest group. Are you in a 401K? Special interest. Work for a semi major corporation? Special interest. Own stocks? Special interest. Pro Choice? Special interest. Pro life? Special interest. "Special interest groups" are looking out for your beliefs, they're not evil.

I guess it's not, but it's more influential than my $100.

I hear what you're saying, but I disagree. They can put a sign in their yard, a bumper sticker on their vehicle, go door to door, volunteer for their candidate. They could even join a local group that supports the candidate. I know it's not the same, but they CAN be involved without spending a dime.

No money? None at all to contribute?

They do. I think it's $10,000. But, like the salary cap, there's fancy and sneaky ways around it.

But the problem isn't just that. If you're poor and you want to give money to NRA or Sierra Club. They can't buy commercials and name a candidate or refer to a bill commonly known by a candidate's name (i.e. McCain-Feingold) 30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election. This isn't just about a rich guy buying airtime. It's about a bunch of middle class people pooling their money and now are being silenced. And actually, that rich guy can do whatever he wants as long as he isn't an organization. Private citizens can buy commercials, but NRA, Sierra Club cannot.

I'm not offended, but I do think this has been photoshopped. Maybe apu can check on that for us.

Soft money is as much the problem as the gun is the problem. Blame the pols, not the money.

I don't know when you're kidding and when you're not. If you actually believe that I'll have to ask God for forgiveness if I vote for Bush, then I stand by my :headshake . If you were joking, then . Either way: :finger

She had me until she brings up the black stuff. I don't really care for her much and that's one of the reasons why. She makes herself look like a fool.

:headshake

Can you say Ryne Sandberg?

You don't work in my building, do you? Even worse, we had a guy that shat all over the three walls in a stall. Yes, shat! It was like he bent over and let 'er fly. Nasty!

I'll join!

"You go, girl!" :puke
