  1. They're also winning more games, that might have something to do with it too.
  2. My prediction can't fail. The White Sox will win a bunch of games. They'll lose some games too. Eventually the season will be over. And we'll be either happy or sad.
  3. I wanna go Friday, just need to find someone to watch the game with.

I just can't get into his music. Too bad, too, cuz he's coming to town soon with the Supersuckers and Murphy's Law, both of whom I like A LOT. ...maybe I'll go and just get an early start home... I'm not a big fan, but the tickets were free... and they put on a very good show.

    I saw the Reverend Horton Heat and I had to leave because of the smoke cloud. I was kinda hung over and I couldn't even really see the stage because there was sooo much smoke. Great show though. I've been to nonsmoking venues, and I gotta agree - the feeling isn't the same.

    QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) I don't smoke, but I hear ya, it ain't a rock-n-roll venue without smoke, booze and a sticky bathroom floor. Very true. Saw Oasis at the Vic. Blur at the Riv. Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Park West. Atari Teenage Riot at a midnight Metro show. Loved the Metro, Loved the Vic - The Riv is a bit outsized for me.

    QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) Charles Schumer on the filibuster... http://www.noticias.info/asp/aspComunicado...nid=58411&src=0 Read that again. Schumer was NOT talking about the filibuster, but rather the practice by the GOP controlled Congress of keeping judicial nominees from getting a hearing. One out of three judicial nominations during Clinton's second term stayed off the bench because the Congress never put the confirmation of these nominations on its legislative agenda to begin with. There is a big difference between what the GOP did to stifle Clinton appointees and what the Democrats do to block nominations.
  9. You know what, in a sense Putin's kind of right. I wouldn't call in the biggest geopolitical disaster of the century, but its pretty far up the ladder as far as international relations go. The reason being is that throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, there had arrived a certain stability to world order by having two superpowers to ally with. With the Soviet Union gone and Russia being no more than a regional power, the geopolitical climate is much less stable. Although China is rapidly ascending into the role of second superpower, it is still at least 15-20 years away and there is no guarantee of that happening or of reaching a detente similar to what happened with the Soviet Union right away. That being said, I think Putin didn't mean it that way, and his really just showing his true "commie" colors.

    It doesn't mean that the filibuster should go.

    Primer

    I thought this was going to be a joke about watching paint dry. Whats the film about?
  12. You're right. But a pie in the face IS funnier.
  13. I guess the so-called liberal media doesn't much seem to care that one of the people responsible for impeaching President Clinton admitted that the motive was revenge and not the Public Good.
  14. From what I've heard, if he had stayed, he'd be only too happy to see him out of State.
  15. I don't think either is acceptable to be honest. But if you must ask, a pie in the face is funnier then getting spit in the face with chewing tobacco.
  16. They've been debating about a constitution for decades. I'm not a fan of an EU super state. There are too many differences between their confederation and our confederation that would make their problems completely unworkable. The EU constitution is a joke and not even a real starting document because it doesn't attempt to address any of the core issues that separate the over 20 member states.

    QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) they are not eliminating the filibuster, they are eliminating the filibuster on JUDICIAL NOMINEES, which are NOT to be a super majority vote - which is directly in the constitution when a super majority is called for. Nominations on judicary is NOT one of those. The democrats have found a way to circumvent a straight up or down vote by using this procedure, which has not happened in 200 years. Why don't you ask Abe Fortas about the history of the judicial filibuster. Abe Fortas was the chief justice nominee in 1968 put forth by Lyndon B. Johnson. He was filibustered. By Republicans.

I posted on here the other day, this whole f***ing government of ours needs blown up and started over. They are all self-serving f***s. Two party system is killing us. In Bill Clinton's presidential term, Republicans attempted six filibusters against Clinton judicial nominees. On March 9, 2000 - Frist participated in one for the nomination of Richard Paez. It failed. All six filibusters failed.
  19. The EU Constitution is a joke. They left out all the areas of disagreement so they could have a document.
  20. I think its suffice to say that Youppi! is offended.
