The nation's top radio star Rush Limbaugh finds himself at the center of a media storm over comments made on ESPN last weekend.

Exactly. I'd like to see the "Take the bone out of your nose and call me back later" quote. Where did you hear that?

Yep

It sounds like a lot of mistakes were made in this situation. First of all, your sister picked the wrong guy. I'm sure he didn't all of a sudden become a dick after the baby was born. I would address this with your sister - alone. She had baby with this guy. She should be able to sit down and talk to him. Do not, I repeat, do not go to him on your own and point fingers and get in a yelling match. it does nobody any good. Finally, if he doesn't change, you've got two choices - Leave and never see your nephew or deal with it. If you really want to have a relationship with this kid, you choose to deal with it.

dickhead!

The New Deal was the worst thing that's ever happen to this country. It created the wonderful welfare state that we live in today. Things that were never promised under the New Deal are now "expected" to be paid for, i.e. prescription drugs, college tuition, etc. It created the "Lazy American." I'll give you that it maybe was good on it's face , but it's snowballed into a huge mistake. Mr. Republican, and YAFer? , I must totally disagree with your assessment of the New Deal, totally and categoricaly I am wondering if you are poor and a true beliver or some from money who disagrees with the New deal. I ask not to fight and have conflict, but to get a fuller picture. I am white collar but working class, from working class, in two professsons (clergy and law) with a masters degree and much expeirnece in social work. Just to share my demographic picture as I ask for your. Was raised by generations of republicans. You proclaim yourself a Republican - I am a democrat, Again, not to conflict - we all speak out of our experience and I have shared mine, am wondering as to yours to further know and repect one another. I am also in a white collar job, but really blue collar. No college. Worked construction (non-union), manager at a Home Center, drove a tractor-trailer for 3 years (also non-union). I was raised by a non voting, Democratic, Inland steel mill crane operator, union member Grandfather. NO, definitely not from money. That one makes me laugh. I commend your social work. Before someone here makes me out to be a heartless bastard, let me explain some things: I agree there are people that need welfare. I agree there are people that need social workers like you. I believe there are many people that abuse this system. I also believe that there are people that convince "victims" to go on welfare or to get govt. help when they are perfectly capable of helping themselves, and then become dependent upon that same help, which causes them to have less self worth. I believe in the goodness of Americans. It was shown on 9-11. I believe in the strength of the American people to get up off the ground and help themselves when pushed to the limit. That instinct is damaged when they become dependent on government. Many are being taught how to get money from the govt., which is fine, but we need to continue that education and teach them hoe to help themselves. How many stories have you heard. In fact, how many people on these boards have a story about how their Great Grandfather came to the U.S. with nothing and worked his ass off, and now has his own business? All on his own. No Government. No welfare. No tax subsidies. It CAN be done. Does this mean I disagree with ALL govt. assistance? No, but there needs to be tighter lid on some of the assistance we give - to our own and to other countries. Cw, I know you don't mean to conflict. You never do. You handle yourself well on these boards at all times. I consider you a friend. (Though we can't seem to ever meat up.) We get heated at times, but that's bound to happen when we believe in what we believe so strongly. I love a good debate. What I don't like is name calling and accusations, which happens all too often sometimes.

They'd probably draft a punter.

I was thinking the same thing, Steff. Apparently, Clinton didn't do enough for the public school system.

And Truman, Jackson, Madison, etc do?

I can't believe we've gone this far and no one has mentioned Ronald Reagan.

Wow. I'm sure there's some guys out there that would make a decent looking woman, but he has got to be the fugliest b**** I've ever seen.

the ".com.au" gives it away. It's Australia This is soooo sad and yet so funny. I don't know whether to cry or laugh my ass off.

I agree to a degree as well. If you ask me, (I know you didn't, but here goes anyway...), the federal government should stay the hell out of education. Show me in the preamble where it says "Provide for the education..." It's just another way for the education system to get screwed up. Let the states handle it.

That's the way I understand it. The petition was just to get the recall on the ballot. They have to vote "yes" or "no" and then "who."

Steff's right. The lots on the east side of the track were $15 all season. They were $10 in 2000 and then went to $13 in 2001. I would bet that the city of Chicago makes the most money on that.

I couldn't agree more. So long, Jerry. Best of luck to you in all you do.

Are you talking about me?

At the end of the game yesterday it was "undecided." I heard Wright this morning.

I believe he is EXPECTED to leave. Let them discuss what they want to do without him there "intimidating" them. He says his peace, them leaves for them to debate. It's common practice. That's why it wasn't big news.

As will the rest of the world.

Thank you...I think.

Absolutely. But, I'm used to it now.

I PREFER the Upper Deck! It's where the "real" fans are!

Nice retort. I love it.
