  1. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) So I guess you are all, all right with the Iraq war being fought because of bad information? As a matter of fact lots of us all are not at all alright with it. Sad that the President was, and sad that so many still are. As for your wondering whether starting a war in Iraq based on false premises and printing an incendiary story are different... uhm, yeah, they are.

    QUOTE(Reddy @ May 22, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) you liked clones better than menace? or is that only because Yoda kicks ass in clones? Largely for me it comes down to these things: Decideing who was the more annoying Akakin – Jake Lloyd or Hayden Christensen. The idiotic "Yippees" of little Anakin versus the terrible attempt at brooding/tormented character of adolescent Anakin. In the end both of these bad performances have to be seen as Lucas' failings as a director. There is also the Jar Jar factor. If you hated that character and the inordinate amount of screen time given to him in Menace, it's hard to put that above Clones. Finally, I HATED that Lucas had to, out of all the possible origins in teh entire galaxy, fall back on comic book stupidity and decide that a youbg Anakin should have been the one to build C3PO, etc. That continues to bug me more than any of the demystifying of the Force with the concept of the Mdichlorians (sp?) that so many other people seemed to despise from Menace. I mean, Lucas has no qualms about introducing a dozen brand new planets and races into the story line with each film, but he felt he had to to teh happy together thing and make Baby Vader also happen to be C3PO's maker. Completely stupid.

  4. Breaking news: Bush is still an idiot. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=778549 Of course the (bipartisan) bill he's threatening to veto has nothing to do with creating or destroying clones. It has to do with utilizing the embryos already in the ertility clinics that couples have abandoned. These are most often discarded as medical waste (isn't that murder too according to the anti-stemm cell research crew?), or they sit unused on a freezer shelf (life prison sentence according to the 'logic' of the detractors).
  5. QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) Corey is pretty dumb taking 2nd on that barely. Cub fans would have crucified him if he was thrown out after the fielding gaff that led to the big inning.
  6. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) Will damaso be available tomorrow?? He was overworked today. What did he throw... 2 pitches before the pickoff? Yeah, I'd say he's available.
  7. QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) That's a brain fart if I've ever seen one. That reminds me of Mark Grace falling for the fake to third throw to first pickoff move a few years ago. Ah, memories...
  8. QUOTE(fathom @ May 21, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) No.....Cliff was the right call there. We're upset that he pitched to Lee in that situation. Agreed. Why pitch to him there?
  9. Damn damn damn. Marte had better shut the door.
  10. QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) A little play by play ... please? Thank you. I can do that... If you want Yankees/Mets Stupid local FOX affiliate.
  11. QUOTE(ISF @ May 21, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) Zambrano would be a Cy Young pitcher if he didn't have a ten cent head. Wouldn't worry about it, he hits one guy the ump will toss him. Then we get their bullpen and it's open season. Two plunks and counting and no tossie. From the warning, though it sounds like one more will do it.
  12. Sleepy Birthday, Happy! er..., I mean Happy Birthday, Sleepy! I get all those Dwarfs mixed up sometimes...
  13. QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) Which means they are reporting heresay, or a rumor? Which is good enough to go to war with but not good enough to run a story with. Got it.
