Decades old war monument in peril
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 08:04 AM) Some opportunist jackass decided that he should build giant heads of Presidents, destroying a mountain that overlooks what little was left (at that time - now there is even less) of the land allowed to the Lakota, and so the people already routed by the United States got to look up every day and see the faces of that country's leaders staring at them. It was beyond insulting, even by the standards of that time. Of course now, that's all national park and forest, as I believe the reservation has further shrunk and is now at the foot of that mountain any more. I'm not 100% sure on that aspect, though. It is different than this case though, in key ways. That cross was not a horrible insult to anyone. And it wasn't a government funded mission either. Not only that, but the guy who built the monument was a racist POS. Its one big "f*** you" to native americans. And, of course, tacky.

Or they can choose to strip the most meaningful symbol of Christianity of all of its value by declaring it secular. Isn't that what various courts have done in the past?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 09:39 AM) CSN sportsrise just showed a replay of the Knox TD kickoff return, it turns out the dumbass threw the ball away to celebrate about a yard before he got into the end zone. Lucky for him no one noticed during the game. I thought it looked like that on the replays. That was really dumb.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 4, 2009 -> 04:49 PM) The 2009 second half Bears might be the best team in the NFL. Well, they've definitely learned how to make second-half adjustments this year. It only took them about 5 years to do it, but I'm glad they did.

2016 Olympics
QUOTE (hogan873 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) This goes to show you that you can't necessarily put stock in the rumors and expectations. It was believed that Madrid would be eliminated early, partly because the Barcelona games weren't too long ago. See, that never made sense to me. The US has had the games twice since then. We've had them since Japan had Nagano. But everyone kept saying "they had them too recently!"

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) I’m not trying to make an ideological political statement (that's for the Buster). Just a logical assessment. Fair or not, Obama put a lot on the line here. The Obama, Michelle, Winfrey trifecta was supposed to be a shoo-in. Sorry, I didn't mean you.

The iranians just shipped a f load of uranium back to get re enriched in russia at lower levels IN ONE DIPLOMATIC MEETING, and because the olympics didn't come to chicago his approval will go down. GIVE ME A BREAK. As stupid as it will be, he's going to be criticized/ mocked for this.
