This has been some terrible officiating.

Beautiful pitch right there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 12:47 PM) Everything Balta said was my position. I still think he isn't 100% on EFCA, he's switched his mind once already. But, Dems bringing in moderates-conservatives into their party is better than getting rid of them. Why the republicans are continuing this race to the right is just really confusing. Most True Republicans are happy to see this RINO gone. He represents what's wrong with the GOP in their minds. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) I think that if politicians decide to switch parties while they are stil lin office that they should be required to resign and run again under thier new party. After all, most people voted for that person based on their party, and if they are now switchign parties, they just disenfranchised everyone who had voted for them. Guess he doesnt have enough balls to try and run as an independent, eh? I have no sympathy for people who vote based on what letter is next to someone's name instead of what the person actually says and does. Does this make Lieberman consider caucusing with the Republicans?

Yeah, it seems like a completely unrealistic and unworkable idea. Way too sci-fi. My nuclear question earlier went unanswered/ unnoticed. Does anyone know Obama's stance on nuclear power? The only thing I know of is stopping Yucca, which I wasn't a fan of. Any geologist opinions on that, Balta?

Beam solar power from outerspace

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) Now all we need if for coastal cities across the globe to become submerged for the trifecta. That'll show 'em! Oh, wait... Balta, I've been meaning to ask what your geological specialty is, if you don't mind.

Between this and the hilarious "volcano monitoring" timing, t's almost as if nature is out to make the GOP look like idiots.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) I figured that was sarcasm...? I mean it's way over the top and doesn't fit anything else he posts. The give-away was the mention of the pythag. stats. Ozzie outperforms "expected" wins and is a good manager according to it. QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 01:08 AM) It's safe to say Brian is becoming a fan favorite on this board. Or is it still that anti-Wise sentiment turning Brian into a star in some's eyes? If Brian keeps doing well, he'll be the center fielder, don't worry about it. Ozzie is a lifelong baseball guy who is going to be in baseball the next 20 to 25 years and yet some think they know more than him. Brian has always had a strong group of loyal supporters on this board (myself included).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) And for that matter, why don't they release the memos saying how many terror attacks the torture stopped? Oh. To be fair, that says 2004. It's been five years, so that leaves room for "effective" torture.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 02:30 PM) He's actually got facts on his side, and he knows more about this subject than anyone else I have ever heard talking about "global warming" either in support or against it. Also, why don't you mention how the dirty dems actually banned him from testifying? Oh I know, because he's some radical nutjob because he doesn't believe in the crap Gore has been peddling. He's not a scientist. I'd venture a guess that the thousands of scientists who spend their lives studying this know more about this subject than he does. I don't like Gore testifying either. Bring in real scientists to discuss real science. Then you risk having moments like Chu had with Rep. Barton, though. IIRC, ,the Bush admin. altered reports to convey whatever sort of scientific message they wanted instead of what the scientists were saying.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 09:19 AM) This is just sickening, but no one is reporting it: http://www.climatedepot.com/a/429/Report-D...ssional-Hearing The Dirty Dems in congress actually banned someone from testifying against Al Gore at the congressional hearing yesterday. I heard him speak the other day, and this British Lord is a great scientist and knows more about climate change and the earth in one of his fingernails than Gore will ever know. He provides scientific proof that everything Al Gore is saying is complete BS. Lets see here. According to Gore, the Earth has been warming, but that is proven to be false as the tempature has actually been dropping over the past several years, and this is what we should be focusing on. Global cooling if much more worse than warming. Things can still grow and survive if the Earth is hotter. But if you go into another ice age, you are talking about mass starvation. New York will not be underwater soon like Gore says, and in fact, over the past several years, tides haven't changed. Actually, top scientists have predicted that in about 1000 years, the ocean water might raise 2 feet at the most. OOhhhh, scary! Al Gore is one of the biggest con men in USA history. I view him no better than Bernie Madoff, as all he has done is profited hundreds of millions of dollars from peddling this crap. This is a very sad day in a America when Congress actually bans a brilliant scientist from testifying on a hearing about global warming. I am truly ashamed to be an American right now, because I thought things were different in America. No, he is not. He is a journalist. This is just appealing to authority, but its not even the right authority.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) Well, the GOP had a brilliant scientist from England flown in, but the dirty Dems blocked him from speaking because he'd make Al Gore look like the big fat lying fraud he is. Why do you consider him brilliant? Because you agree with him and not the other scientists who say otherwise?

Way to show your potential, Jerry.

Love the sarcastic cheers for Alexi

Alexi looking to set the record for number of errors in a game?

boo. boo!

awful. just awful.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) Didn't see Brian's atbat, but from what I read his double was opposite field? He seems to be a bit more comfortable (finally). double that hit the yellow on the RF wall.

Pitches out of it with the curve. That's the only thing that seems to be working for him tonight.

Q = GOD

pathetic.

Very close to going out.

It's nice how easy it is for teams to turn singles into doubles and doubles into triples against our staff.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) go Gore. He called Blackburn out and was right. Blackburn was trying to get Gore to say he'd profit from the bill and Gore wouldn't bite. Everyone knows that Global Warming is just an international money-making/ socialist scheme. I'm not sure how those two are compatible.

Contentious issues that are generating a lot of posts (eg torture memos) should be split out of Dem/ Rep threads and into their own discussion, imo.
