QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Nov 30, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) So next time the autoworkers go on strike, they should picket the Oscars, since they are the biggest event in town? That makes no sense. I can see them picketing the movie and tv studios, but a debate? That just shows that the candidates priorities are to the unions instead of the general public. Although I guess it IS a good thing that they cacel it. With each debate comes even more promises of how much money they will spend. I thought they were striking against the networks and companies that produce TV shows. So why wouldn't they picket any event those people were putting on? So using your autoworker analogy, striking the Oscars would be silly, but picketing at an autoshow would make sense. I guess writers are not the general public. You would be a great campaign staffer, looking for ways to exploit whatever your opponent is or is not doing. I don't think this will give your guys much play. The Unions are the Dems traditional support and screwing over your friends may be* something the GOP would do, but I think supporting those that have supported you is loyal and the right thing to do. Based on the coverage the average America seems to believe that. *but I doubt they would.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 30, 2007 -> 03:38 AM) She quit working for them in April, but she found a hidden key? When did she find it and where was this key hidden ?? I'm guessing they had an extra key stashed around the area in case someone locked themselves out. Two bad they did not have too to give her* *A special tribute to two.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 11:19 PM) OK, NOW I read that the Dem debate in LA is being cancelled because the writers were going to picket it. OK, First, why are writers picketing a debate? They don't write the questions (the news media does that!), and if they write the answers, well then that tells us everythign we need to know about the Dems. If the writers decide to picket a Hillary townhall of an Obama fundraiser, would the candidates not show up and cross the lines out of 'respect'? If the candidates can't even stand up to a union now, how are they going to stand up to special interests if they are elected? Not one of them appears to have the testicular fortitude to point out the irrelevance of a presidential debate to the writers strike, nor the will to demonstrate their commitment to open political discourse by crossing the line and exposing it for a fraud. The Republicans couldn't have written a better PR script, even if they could hire a writer right now. Are DVD residuals now a higher political interest than the Democratic Presidential Primary elections? They are picketing the debate because it is the biggest entertainment event happening in town. High profile, brings even more attention to their strike. I guess they could picket some video store grand opening, but I doubt it would offer much bang for the buck. Unions have supported Dem candidates at a higher rate than GOP candidates. And the Dems are generally pro working class. So it would seem natural to me that they would honor the picket line. And everyone, Dem and GOP, employs speech writers, well maybe all except Thompson, and you're right, that would explain a lot. LA is an entertainment union town, makes perfect sense to me that the debate would be canceled.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 05:21 PM) Thanks everyone for all the text messages and calls and posts. She was a few weeks early, but you couldn't tell from anything other than her weight. Thankfully she eats like her mom so she'll be a little fatty in no time. I have a ton of pictures and I'll get a few up asa I get things a bit organized around here. Thanks again!! Continued good health for you and your baby

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 10:57 AM) The writers do not make multi millions per year. Not even close. Try again. Sorry, I was referring to Leno, Letterman, etc.

Lots of support for guys making multi millions per year and going on strike, but some poor SOB who makes $50,000 building cars, he's a greedy s.o.b. you know, just sayin'

Of the all time cheap shots against Chicago sports, it's in the top 5. The Rodman shove of Pippen as well. Which is why I never could understand Bulls fans embracing Rodman.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 09:45 AM) I've made $75 so far at payperpost.com...kinda cool. Which is why I don't trust blogs :-)

I just do not see how we can afford adding a CF who makes much more than Anderson. Anderson makes about $600,000, why would we pay ten million dollars more?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 28, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) New Glarus is a brewery I give a lot of credit to for pulling off novel but stylistly faithful versions of lagers and ales equally well. I wish I could get their stuff with more regularity. I had a farmhouse ale from them probably 5 years ago that I think was the beer that became what they are now calling Spotted Cow. The same evening I had an unfiltered lager from them that they just referred to as a zywiecbier that I think is what they are now calling the Yokel lager. They were both really lively, fresh interpretations that used a combination of European and domestic ingredients to great effect. I couldn't believe both beers came from the same brewery, as typically it seems that breweries that nail their lagers fall down on the ales and vice versa. Mmmm. You pulling that from memory or tasting notes?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 09:13 AM) On this one, I get the strike. There's so much more revenue streams then ever before, yet the writers are still paid like it's 1963 (adjusted for inflation). They should get a higher cut up front knowing that their material has more channels of distribution then even 5 years ago. Either a higher up front fee or better back deals.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 08:33 AM) The correct answers to that are ALWAYS... chunky and grape. but not always. How are you packaging your chunky while BPing? I was using those rollup tubes and smooth just works easier.
