QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Well, to be clear, I don't think they really gained anything because the states/ cities were exercising a power that they never really had. But this will likely mean Chicago loses it's ability to enact handgun bans, effectively leaving those sorts of controls at the federal level. If the reason for the handgun ban removal is the 2A+14A, then it seems like there's no power for those controls at the federal level either.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Why do you say that? The idea is that a large portion of people who would otherwise line up fairly well with Democratic platforms vote Republican because they're one-issue (abortion) voters.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) As do I, but it still takes power away from the states and gives it to the federal government. Even if the "correct' reading of the Constitution is what was just ruled, it still takes away a power that the states and municipalities have enjoyed for many decades. What addition power did the federal government gain?

GrownUps was good

The War in Iraq has been an epic success and had we not spent the money there, it would have just gone to welfare for crack addicts.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) It doesn't make any sense. But I don't see this "rumor" being discussed or even mentioned on any of the other major sports sites. I just ran into that article over at realgm. Just the thought of Howard/Paul on the same team made me s*** myself. It doesn't make basketball sense; it makes $$$ sense. Chris Paul costs $15M/year for the next 3 and New Orleans can't sustain a franchise even with him. The Hornets' owner is cheap enough to drop his franchise player to save some bucks.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) story I almost don't even know where to begin with this story. If your religion forbids you from selling pork products,alcohol, etc. then don't sell them. If your business takes a hit then YOU have a decision to make. either get into another line of business or break your religious 'law'. Sticking your hand out for state money....my money...your money.....Illinois money should not even be considered an option. Especially when the state has no money to pay for things it should be paying for. The purpose of the bill is to get help get healthy produce in areas that don't have it. It wasn't made for this guy and people like him. The fact that it helps him with his personal internal dilemma is just a Human Interest Story angle.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) How is it? I am going out to purchase it shortly It's a really good Wild West GTA.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 07:51 PM) It was a deplorable call...but you know what...don't go down 2-0 in the first half. What does that have to do with anything? If it had gone US goal, SLO goal, US goal, SLO goal, horrible call, would it be any different?

Too easy

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) I wonder who is responsible for reminding her to breathe? The same people who run her organization that takes taxpayer subsidies?

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) You're right context is key. Maybe it would be wise to use a different euphemism for electoral defeat in the context of discussing the justifications for armed American insurrection. Just sayin'. Kap is correct. She's just saying that it's vital that Harry Reid be defeated in the election. If he is re-elected, THEN we'll be forced to rise up and murder him. Voting for her is the only way to save Reid's life. It's really a very compassionate statement.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:59 AM) I saw on IMDB that Mortal Kombat isn't set to be out till like 2013.. which is ridiculous.. The IMDB entry is unrelated - just some MK project that went into development limbo. The new 'trailer' isn't really a trailer. It was a short piece made by Kevin Tancharoen as a pitch because he wants to make a MK movie. http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/10/full-d...kombat-rebirth/

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06/09/me...n-near-el-paso/ It appears that this kid may have had a gun. Now video shows the Mexican 'law enforcement' came across into the US territory to get the evidence all while threatening to shoot US border patrol. Frankly, they should be thanking the US for not shooting their clueless keystone cops for illegally entering the US with guns drawn. I'm confused. US officer on US side. Dead Mexican kid on Mexican side. Empty shell casing on Mexican side. Mexican "Gun" (?) on US side. Why is there a casing on the Mexican side? What gun is it from? If the Mexican kid had a gun, why is it on the US side?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) Also, what excellent journalism in claiming that the video differs from the what the officer said. At best, the video is inconclusive since it goes to crap during the key moment of the incident (edited?). It does differ. He was not "surrounded" in any sense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 05:14 PM) If I'm standing out in the open and you hit me from behind at 25 feet with a rock of a few pounds, yes, I'd probably be bruised, but that's because I'm neither prepared for it nor wearing any sort of protection. Furthermore, it's not going to severely injure me. Once you start getting to the weight of rocks that would cause any actual damage beyond a small bruise on an unpadded person, you can't throw it that far. Maybe the exact number is 25 feet, maybe it's 10, but either way, there is no way that they're going to throw a rock far enough that would actually put people's lives in danger unless they're reasonably within non-lethal ordinance range. It might not be *lethal*, but if someone whipped a baseball-sized rock into your face, it would do some major damage.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) I heard the other day that when the Hawks logo was originally created, there was only one feather in the cap. They added one after each of the Cups in the 30s, and then added the 4th one in 1961. If they win another hockey game this week, then this would mean they should be adding another one to the logo now too? Does anyone know if this is true or just some BS someone made up? Looks false. Wikipedia picture of Bobby Hull in 1960 shows there were already 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bobby_Hu...-E002505660.jpg

Prosecutors didn't show the video of him taking shots at the bar? Bartender testified that the shots were WATER? Is this a joke?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 03:53 PM) So, it's not reasonable to say that Rosie the Riveter types were "fighting" the Nazi's too? No.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) Poor choice of words, and a REAL stretch, but reading what she says it's still accurate. "my father died fighting" Eh, no

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) close. not enough hatred. "dimbulb", "vacuous brain", "airhead", "consequences of lobotomies"...seems pretty good to me.

Sorry, Westboro Baptist Church, but we're bored of you. At first you were outrageous...then you were fun to ridicule...now you're just tired. You have gone the way of Marilyn Manson and PETA.
