QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:49 AM) No roll call, since it was a voice vote. I believe there were 84 sponsors and co-sponsors, so that's what the 16 "no" votes refer to. I think, under Senate rules, any of the 16 can add their names as co-sponsors for at least 5 days. Sneaky f***ing bastards. Balta was right on about this.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 06:59 AM) Which is why the American public never allows one party too much power for very long. However introducing a third strong party would make things worse. Imagine the grid lock with a third party wanting a taste :headshake That's why the whole place would be way better off if y'all just did things my way. Annual beer expenses would be tax deductable, that's for sure...

I saw this on Monday when it was first reported and it blew me away. Opinion columnist Mark Steyn of the UK hives his read on China's future, including the Microsoft issue. Well written, even if you don't agree with everything he writes: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jh...6/12/do1203.xml

Hope you held out for the big bucks! Congrats!

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) Talk about a badass comeback... You'd better believe it. Anybody else want a piece of this...?!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) It wouldn't be a bad deal if there was a section 325. Unfortunately there is not. D'oh! Maybe a leprechaun has been playing tricks and printing up Blarney tickets.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Try This Both of those idx links fix it in FireFox on the mac.

Hideaway you are right – Firefox is still fragged. Earlier, IE, Firefox and Safari were all giving those errors, downloading thread links as php files, and a bunch of other wiggy s***. I PM'd Jason (who is probably at the heart of the problem) and told him we had ghosts in the machine.

I grew up cheering the Bears on and I spent several years as a hotdog and (when I was old enough) beer vender at Bears games, but I have come to care very little about them in the time that I have been away from Chicago. Partly it's their sucking, but it's also that I've realized I enjoy baseball much more than football. Now, when the NFL treaining camps and then preseason get going it's just a big distraction from the really important sport. But, Go Bears for those that do get jazzed by them.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) thx man.........math hurts. Math is hard.... Let's go SHOPPING!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) I understand, so for those 100 meters, he's moving at a speed of 23 MPH. You are correct.

But it wouldn't be true unless the media decided to make it true. As easily as the BoSox and Cub curses are sold to the public by media spin, the media can and would develop compelling back story on the Sox not winning since 1917, throwing it in 1919, and finally making it back with a team whose style of play closely resembles that of the last Sox team to get to the WS in 1959. On top of that, you have one of a handful of marquis players that soend their entire career with one team and a coaching staff with a ton of history with the franchise as well. I may be a bit biased but WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THAT?

Hey, who's double checking my math?!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) Any math geeks here who can tell me how fast that is in MPH? Just curious. 100 m = 0.0621 miles, so if he was able to keep the pace up for an entire mile (unrealistic), that would be a mile in 157.33 seconds = almost a 2.5 minute mile (again, unrealistic). MPH-wise, that is 22.88 MPH.

I can do that.

It sounds like they don't feel there is a need to aploogize 140 years after the fact for not passing anti-lynching laws in the south after the Civil War. It would have been a meaningful symbolic gesture, but I guess it would have called the morality of white southerners of the time into question.

Well, you sure called this one right.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) Those tax cuts look a whole lot less problematic to people who can't count. Zing!
