QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 11:54 PM) That was cool, Tex. I enjoyed watching it. I thought sorting through 2,000 photos would be tedious, but it was actually fun this time. I still have some tweeking to do, but at least now there isn't a deadline to contend with.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 05:48 AM) I would say the same because that's not how they do their bidding. Which isn't so differentthan groups like the Swifties, etc. Nothing new there.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:13 PM) Sounds more like a wandering, senile old fool to me. It's suprising he kept his clothes on, since the old folks suffering from dementia seem to lose those pretty fast. That is easily the stupidest thing you have ever posted.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 05:06 PM) I saw him updating the phillies and rockies game with cal ripken and was surprised at how well he did speaking considering that i think hes an idiot. He did stutter and search for words but I think he sound alright. Is it possible he has a future sitting next to hawk harrelson some day? or does the hatred between him and kenny prevent that?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) It's not about 'taxes'. It's about putting our system closer to socialized health care. However, I do disagree with this veto. It's about people barely over Medicaid income levels getting some help with a major expense. Many of these jobs do not have full benefits. To recap the past few weeks $25,000 makes enough to pay for their own health care insurance $50,000 too much for an assembly line worker at an autoplant $75,000 barely enough, should not be taxed anymore.

I wonder if it is easier or harder today for a dark horse to make a run. Money is certainly a bigger issue today, but you can do a lot via the internet, which is cheaper and more direct. Still capturing the imagination of the media is the biggest problem. With a limited number of column inches available, allocating space to the sixth or seventh candidate who is polling in the low single digits, probably doesn't make much sense. Forget about buying enough TV ads.

If there was an easy answer, it would have already been done. As much as I like 2k5's answer, the equal and opposite problem, and there always is, becomes only rich people have a chance and, why spend $20 mil on a job that pays $125,000? Perhaps they would be looknig to make some of that back? So we try and find the compromise half way, and it probably isn't in finding the perfect plan, but rather finding the least evil of plans.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) Did you actually see what he was responding to in his post? I find it laughable as well. A shoe as a deadly weapon? How is that not ridiculous? And what on earth does it have to do with left wing or right wing? Not to mention that some "right wing" folks responded in agreement. But was it a wing tip?

Thank you. I will be reworking it as I bring in new music. I was under the gun and needed something easy to get.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) And you don't either, except once every six months when you do nothing but mock the "conservatives" by using multiple sarcasms. I just can't get a break from you. If I disagree, you post s*** about I'll argue about anything, the stuff I agree about, you accuse me of mocking. Do a search, I've been touting McCain since the campaigns begun.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 03:19 PM) Ok, Mr. Multiple Sarcasms. Of course conservatives never, ever, change their minds. So I understand your comments. Thank you.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:57 PM) Does this have anything to do with national sarcasm day? Nope. In my quest to prove to people here that liberal media bias is an evil conservative plot, I started logging a few news sites and convinced myself that media bias is alive and well. I feel stupid for defending these people all these years. Disgusting really. Conservatives have been getting screwed for a long time. But I really don't want to belabor the point anymore.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 01:55 PM) It was on the front page of cnn.com and msnbc.com yesterday. I've been trying to find less biased sources. If it was on their front page, it was there for a reason, and not what anyone thinks. But I'm not going there.

We need to cut taxes to pay for this war. I'd bet a 10% decrease would have this war paid for in no time.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:29 PM) For yourself, Tex, try this. It's really pretty good for coming from a box, and you should be able to find it where you live. Cool, two stores by me carry it. I'll pick up a box today.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 11:18 AM) yeah, because Soxtalk needs ANOTHER thread started by Texsox.... Didn't you use to be funny?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) I see no problem with that, as long as that organization doesn't spend money to specifically endorse or promote him/her or attack other candidates. Impossible. If I produce a pro ANWR drilling commercial and play it in a district that a candidate is against it, it would promote that candidate. Even if it does not specifically mentioned the cadidate by name.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 01:16 PM) So no posts about the deaths in Iraq being at its lowest level since July06 for both troops and civilians? I was wondering if anyone would post it, so I waited a day out of curiousity... Then I figured I would go ahead and mention it. I didn't see it. Of course it wasn't widely reported and we know why.
