Will the Fed. be guaranteeing 10% S&P 500 returns next? So how much is this going to hurt the American taxpayer in the long run?

I'm also missing who the ACLU would even be going after here.

But then again, the give big to Dems and like to register Deomcrats, real or fictional, so there is your answer. They have faced prosecution before and have been convicted. Ironically, they were sentenced to community service in at least once case. From wiki:

No, I don't believe I'm paranoid not do I believe my statement is unfounded. Have you been reading the over the top Obama love in this forum for months? And believe me, I toned down the question. Over the top is mild compared to what I wanted to say. The way you've set this up is that the only possible response for Democrats/ Obama supporters is negative in your eyes. Either they're just being PC and don't really mean it, or they're happy someone had their email account illegally hacked.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 09:12 AM) .04. At one point it was negative. You were paying the gov't. Had WBBM on in the car when I ran to get lunch, and they were saying that some money market funds were actually getting negative yields yesterday. What a god-awful mess we're in.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 08:51 AM) I like it. The flaw is you would have to follow the same procedure as the government. You would need a court order. But that would be so damn cool. You don't need a court order these days...

Also, if you are driving and depending on your final destination, it may be faster to take rt. 47 instead of I-57. This was before the new 355 extension was open, though.

Some of the dorms have this. When I went there, I used Amtrak and Suburban Express.

gameday is woefully behind -- what happened?

Kings of Leon new CD free preview tonight only. They'll be doing SNL Saturday. http://lists-rca.sonybmgemail.com/t/817072...64336/228003/0/ Also, anyone else get absolutely soaked at the Cheap Trick/ Heart/ Journey concert last Friday?

Game.

but the WILD PITCH

It wasn't that wild of a pitch, seemed like AJ should have been able to catch that.

Awesome grab.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) Mostly because they suck at it. And because it sucks at producing more than one run. Bottom 9th, one to win? sure. Any other situation and you're just giving up potential multiple runs to get a slightly better chance of getting 1 in.

Sacrifice bunts are retarded.

Clayton pitches himself out of that jam rather nicely. Well done.

Haha awesome.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) Might be time to get the bullpen up, as he's close to facing these hitters for the 3rd time. Nice call.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 07:41 PM) Sarcasm Sorry, my mistake! Green is necessary there imo because there are people out there that would rate Rex pretty highly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) Same as Bears fans booing Rex Uh, possibly the best player in the game, sure Hall of Famer vs. mediocre QB who isn't even a starter now?

My hair has really, really thinned out over the last year and a half (I just turned 23 a few weeks ago). It's not just a receding hairline or a bald spot, either. It's just much thinner overall. My older brother (27) has lost significant amounts of his hair already. How do I deal with it? I cry myself to sleep.

The White House response is less than thrilled. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/17/white.house.energy/
