Try yerba mate' when you get the chance. Good and earthy tasting like some green teas, but also with an assload of caffeine.

When I saw the thread title "I passed the damn thing," I thought it was going to be a kidney stone or something. . . Although GREs are only slightly less painful. Congrats!

Holy moley, that is seriously cool. But you were off by three orders of magnitude – they recorded temps of @2 BILLION degK, not a measly 2 million.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but does anyone know someone who is looking to buy a townhouse out in St. Charles from a fellow Sox-talker??? Refresh my memory. St. Charles is over by States Avenue and Virgina Avenue - just across the Electric Company from them, right? A townhouse sounds nice. And if you collect four of them you can trade up to a nice green hotel for $100. I think being right next to the Jail keeps property values a little depressed though. [/drives off in little silver roadster]

I cannot even place the guy, and I'm sure i never saw the game show (watched plenty of others though). But it is sad to hear.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Yes, but they can have a long, drawn-out debate on the issue (which will generate A LOT of press coverage) without having to suffer an embarrassing defeat when the motion is crushed. It's the best of both worlds. If that's true, it draws negative attention to and puts blame on a lame-duck administration, rather than the Republicans. The Dems shouldn't be worried about Bush and Cheney right now. They need to worry about how they're going to defeat the Republicans in '08. Need to take back one of the houses in '06 first.

Gotta be a hose, I don't see it being picked up anywhere.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) So the Dems in General may not want a vote on this censure, but Feingold does. He'd just like the actual hearing and debate rather than an immediate vote. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1720883 Which sounds like a perfectly reasonable – even Senatorial – approach.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) What is up with this MySpace phenomenon. In my day, people who had their own webpages were just called nerds. Why cant people meet other people face to face, and what happened to the phone? I miss the days of not having cell phones as well. Remember when you could actually wait for someone to call you back? Now, people get angry when they think you are ignoring their calls, texts, myspace bulletins, IMs. It's all about instant gratification these days. I want it to end. AND I WANT IT TO END NOW, DAMMIT!!

QUOTE(juddling @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) i know he looks younger but i don't see a 41-yr. old Leguizamo in the film about high school students. Though that would have been perfect casting a number of years ago. Maybe Ice Cube could get together with Cedric the Entertainer for some ideas since the Honeymooners did so well Aww, come on, Travolta had to be in his 30s when he did the Sweathog thing. Casting geriatric high-schoolers is a Welcome Back Kotter tradition.

Sounds like Gabe needs the cash. And if John Leguizamo isn't tapped to play Juan Epstein then there's gonna be hell to pay.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) Has anybody ever read Dianetics here? Flaxx? Tex? I tried reading Battlefield Earth years ago, but that just sucked so bad I had to stop. 90 pages in and I was sick of the word "Man-Animal". No I have not nor would I read it. And like you, I tried and failed to get through the craptacular Battlefield Earth. As for "Man-Animal," I've reluctantly gotten used to the ladies referring to me that way.

I'm not sure in reality how harsh a penalty it is, but it sure as hell is a rare option. I think I heard 1834 was the last sucessful presidential censure (against Andrew jackson, and later expunged). There was a failed attempt at censure of Clinton I know. I think the fact that there are no real teeth in censure is probably why it is so rare. But with dwindling prospects of either congressional or judicial inquiry, it may have been the only option available.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) That would be both of them. If you haven't had a chance, please listen to Feingold's introduction of the resolution. It is very articulate and thought out. It lists some of the bipartisan displeasure over the spying program, chronicles several occassions the president had previously publicly stated that warrants were required to conduct domestic surveilance, and reminds us that the Founding Fathers foresaw that presidents would overstep their bounds and that it was the responsibility of the remaining branches of government to rebuke (at the very least) in such instances. The pathetic lack of support the resolution is getting from the rest of the Dems indicates this is no political slam dunk. But it is, in Feingold's mind, the moral high road and his obligation. How many Dem Senators are now saying how they wished they had the courage Feingold had when he alone opposed the Patriot Act? How many of these pathetic clowns are going to say the same thing about wishing they too had stood up to censure the president a year down the line? His conviction and commitment to what he believes in suggests this is not just a stunt. He stood alone to oppose the Patriot Act. He stood with a small minority in opposing the Iraq War Resolution. Now he again stands nearly alone in admonishing the president for exceeding the power granted the office.
