It has to be public property, doesn't it? Can you get a ticket for parking on private property?

We were supposed to go on a 5 day Caribbean cruise until my wife went and got herself pregnant.

I saw it this morning, but I don't remember which channel. It was to right center and looked like a pitch that got in on him. It was almost like he got fooled and muscled it out. I don't think he had full extension. So if it really went 415...wow! Now, Paulie's shot was a full extended rip to left field.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) To me, a monster is a fictional character and we are discussing who may be closer to this concept of a "monster". At the core is conscious and value systems. If I was to place Carter and Reagan on this scale, with no conscious on one side and a "God-like" one on the other, I'd have Reagan closer to monster than Carter. However, neither one would be close enough to really call a monster. Reagan did look pretty monster-like in "Land of Confusion."

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 10:41 AM) By far the funniest post in the thread. "This pisses me off! Ipso Facto, I should be able to piss off blacks!" I think you miss the point. The thread is intended to create a rise out of a certain segment of Soxtalk. My point is we wouldn't (and shouldn't) allow someone to do the same with black, Jews, etc. I was demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

I'm going for lunch today at my local Pub. They're also our softball sponsor. They do a damn good job with their wings. I was going to be good and get something small, but after reading this thread I'm leaning toward pigging out.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 10:03 AM) What? I really don't see the point in getting into these extremist arguments. You say he is a monster, which is way over the top. I question it, and you ask why we can't hold presidents responsible for their actions, as if I'm saying he isn't. Seriously? Yes, we hold them responsible. Yes, Reagan did bad things. No, they don't rise to the level of "monster", like he was Hitler or something. Agreed! Yes, I agree he did some bad things. (And this from a guy who's daughter is named "Reagan") He did a lot of good things too, but a monster? Come off it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 09:33 AM) I think that was the point. There was some particularly ludicrous hyperbole in some other polls, and people calling Reagan a monster. I think this thread is an illustration of the silliness of that. Though actually, even in this thread, someone has called Reagan a monster. Which is completely ridiculous. OK, then I misunderstood.

And the OP didn't just say "monster". He said, "History's greatest monster." Give me a break!

QUOTE (Texsox @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 09:19 AM) Why would you want to piss off African Americans? I'm a Republican and from Indiana. That automatically makes me a racist, doesn't it?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 09:16 AM) The poll is indeed idiotic. But I think the poster intended to piss off everyone, and make a point of how stupid it is to call either one a monster. At least, that's how I took it. The guy who posted it is a right-winger himself, more or less. Maybe I missed another post that this came from, but why is anyone calling either of them a "monster?" When I think monster, I think of Hitler, Stalin, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy. No matter what your political views you can't logically group Reagan or Carter (Or any US politician for that matter) in with these guys. Can you?

This poll is idiotic and only intended to piss off right wingers. Will I be allowed the same freedom to post a poll that's derogatory and intended to piss off African Americans?

Very good news, but I'll believe it when I see it.

This is unacceptable!! He faked injuries to get out of workouts and showed up hungover when he was a kid and an admitted screw up? That's it! Cut him now. We can't have this kind of filth on the White Sox. I don't care if he's straightened up his life and is currently an outstanding teammate, citizen, husband and father! He was a screw up before and he'll only do it again! Cut him before he has a chance to embarrass this organization! :rolleyes

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) Oh, I actually thought he already did that. No, originally he (Burris) said he told Robert that he can't fundraise because it would be inappropriate. Now, he's saying he tried but was unable to get anyone to give and finally told Robert it would be inappropriate only after finding out no one was interested in giving. I understand your confusion; his story changes daily. I'm just at a loss why any of those Senators in DC would approve someone appointed by a Governor under such a cloud. Is a single vote that important to throw all integrity out the window? While in the end this may be good for my side, it's yet another disgrace for all politicians in general. Pathetic. If you can't trust a former Attorney General (who was believed to be squeaky clean, by the way) to tell the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth our whole judicial system comes to a screeching halt.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 03:03 AM) In case you don't know, Phoenix does a LOT of drugs. He also claims that film with Paltro will be his last ever. He does? Even after what happened to his brother? I thought it was funny, but got a little uncomfortable at the end. My spidey senses say it's a stunt and 426,000 views on YouTube would agree.

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 6, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) Oh please... For the record... I went to Catholic grade school, high school, and college... so I'm not taking pot shots at somebody else's religion. Besides... as St. Al McGuire once said, "If you can't poke a little fun at religion, you are taking life way too seriously." Thanks for clarifying. That makes it all OK. Please continue your regularly scheduled Catholic bashing.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) Let's see... Katrina killed a few thousand people, and FEMA screwed up big time. This event has killed few if any, and as far as I have read, FEMA has responded reasonably well. This peanut butter thing is of course the fault of the company and/or the FDA, which Obama is working to change. So... if you are looking to show that Obama's administration is doing much better than Bush, you succeeded. But in reality, I don't see much Obama effect on this incident at all anyway. I think what he's getting at is if Bush was still in charge he would take some heat or this (Most likely. We'll never know.)

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 02:05 AM) A cockloft at a Catholic church. More proof that reality is funnier than fiction. Just like we were talking in the other thread, eh, NS? And yet, this is accepted, as usual.
