May I be the first to welcome you to the day after your birthday! I hope you had a good birthday. And I mean that, I'm not just trying to pad my post count.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) I wouldn't vote for the pope. Do you know what kind of activities he was involved with as a child? Drinking beer and skiing

I hope some of you aren't thinking that Bush the elder just sat on the sidelines and said, I'm stating out of it. It's up to my son? You can bet all of his old supporters received a phone call. Like it or not, the business of politics is the same for both sides. Coke and Pepsi have to bottle their product and follow the same laws and compete in the same market. The business model stays fairly consistent between the two. What we see is the tip of the iceberg, the marketing. Lift up the hood and it's all the same.

Speaking of the Clinton machine . . .

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 09:14 PM) What makes me sick is that Hillary is a vote for Bill Clinton, not her highness herself, for the most part. Ignorant f***ing Americans. Seriously. Do you really think she will just sit back and allow Bill to run the country again? That just seems 180 from my perspective and opinion of her. As far as Bush the elder, he lost his last campaign, after running what was the worst campaign until Thompson just stole that "distinction". I do not think he was going to help his son at all.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) You know, it sure didn't take you long... it's always about you, isn't it? I'll just leave it there. Meanwhile, RIP to him and prayers to his family. I'm just glad Brokeback Pratt can soldier through this difficult time.

This will overshadow Balta's birthday for years to come.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) did you know that the non white guy was a lawyer for a slum lord? he was. just shows what kind of person you would vote for. The American justice system is designed in such a way that it functions at its best when everyone has vigorous legal representation. We usually can rest at night knowing that when someone is convicted there is a high probability that that person is guilty. You probably would have found fault with Mr. Master's first lawyer for representing a murderer. It would be a sad day when lawyers were asked to be judge and jury. When defendants could not find decent representation because lawyers were judged by their clients. So when you criticize a lawyer for their clients, you are criticizing the cornerstone of the American justice system and that ain't cool unless you're a commie, and you ain't no commie are ya?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) Were he and Michele Williams still together? You don't have a chance

I think your second choice is very flawed, I could not vote.

That places anyone with him in a death with an early early lead. That's as big as River Phoenix.

I love minor league baseball. It's all about the potential

For the rest of the day, and in the honor of the anniversary of your birth, I shall post in blue. I was thinking of visiting Balta, North Dakota but really who the hell wants to go to North Dakota in January

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:35 PM) I liked the blue text. Thanks everyone. Balta is padding his birthday thread post count

My son had scheduling hell this semester and wound up with Rape Prevention as his physical activity credit. I dreamed of having all-female classes in college, and he falls into one.

QUOTE(Chet Lemon @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) My favorite Aardsma memory will always be his wild pitch during an intentional walk in Minnesota last season.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Me too. Was the blue text too much? I was thinking of just using black but wanted to make it extra special for Baltra

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) Not taking a damn thing because after 20 years of school I am course complete. Woo! I am, however, teaching Personality. Who ya like?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Ya. What he said. I am so happy we agree

I really dislike Bio II and the Lab There is only one activity I want to do that requires protective gear

I think it is really interesting that no one picked any commerce site.

Happy Birthday!! And I mean it. This isn't just some lame excuse to pad my post total.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) Just heard on Fox News. Thompson's dropping out. Seriously, was he ever really "in"? From his website, to his speeches, to his not quite finished position statements, it seemed like a half assed attempt without a real desire. I hope the taste got him excited enough to really run in 4 years. I think he adds a lot to the national debate.
