Rex Kickass

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asked for this investigation to start, and asked for him to resign his position on his committee. I'd say there's a big difference between the two parties and people like you who don't see it are a big reason we have a s***ty government today.

Happy Birthday Jim. And such. And others.

Listen, provided both us and them stay healthy this year, we're going to have a pennant race for the ages in the AL Central - which may cause a bit of heartburn, but will still be a treat to watch. I think the White Sox are playoff bound in any case and getting to the show is what's important to me.... So I'm not so much scared as I am excited.

Funny that this comes out about the same time as the Enron verdicts. One step forward, two steps back. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflas...opStories_ssi_5

He also said he regretted Osama: Wanted Dead or Alive. I wish he would have regretted saying "I just don't spend much time on that.{Osama Bin Laden}" six months later.

Actually, I'd say most of us do.

Good thing I'm not wearing an Orioles hat then. I'd really be screwed.

Or maybe some of us just don't feel "They all do it" is an acceptable justification. If "they all do it" they all need fired.

Since this doesn't appear to be as dire as once thought - now I can ask if Dick Cheney just got lost on his way to go hunting?

QUOTE(samclemens @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) interesting to bring up clinton. most people here seem to forget that he straight up perjured himself in front of a grand jury and walked. meanwhile liberals in soxtalk squabble over ambiguities to say that president bush has lied. i see no definitive statements, including all of flasox's quotes. no one, including me, is ever going to deny that the president is corrupt. but where is the acknowledgment towards (literally) ALL presidents being just as corrupt? thats the hypocrisy of nearly every liberal argument i hear these days. Ah "They all do it." Haven't heard that defense in what - a week now?

Umm, there's no fence, right? In a lot of those places, there's not even a marking where the border is - wouldn't it make sense to alert the government on the other side of an unmarked border that protestors maybe accidentally crossing over with their protection in mind?

So, YAS - let's restate this then. It's ok to lie about aims of war, as long as nobody "really" believes it.

ZING!

100 kids getting together and praying at a graduation is not establishment of religion unless the administration officially sanctions it. If it's in the program that the school puts on at taxpayer's expense, its establishment

Soxy: Noam wishes you the happiest of birthdays. Jim: Happy Birthday too.

Hope everything works out bud.

I would only perform on the View if it was the theme song live.

Border Security=illegal immigration? illegal aliens=the new gays?

QUOTE(minors @ May 22, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) I totally agree that it a terrible practice but in the eyes of the law it is legal and just like some other practices that are morally terrible but legal they will still go on until a court decides to change it. Or until we start electing public officials who feel that this kind of practice is unacceptable.

You know what? I may be a bit naive I guess, but I get an actual sense that a lot of the candidates that are running for Congress on the Dem ticket and a lot of the Democrats serving in Congress are doing so for the right reasons. I'm sorry I'm not as jaded about my party as you are about yours. For every Rostenkowski and Delay there is a Wellstone or a Lugar who do come to serve with honor and see their position in Congress as one of public service first and foremost.

Actually, this Congressman has not been indicted for anything yet - but when an investigation is launched, other Congressmen from the Dem side have stepped down from committees where there may seem to be a conflict of interest in the interest of preserving the ethics of the institution.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Brilliant idea! DH for Anderson and let Beuhrle hit for himself! Dumb question but.... can you DH for another position theoretically?

It's also something they've done consistently since Pelosi became minority leader btw.

Holy crap, the Democratic leadership is doing the right thing.

Something tells me that he has little to be worried about in that regard.
