QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 12:27 PM) It amazes me how the Democrats are all in a panty-wad tight uproar about this. From what I hear, there's plenty of blame to go around, on all accounts, but the 20 miuutes of "Clinton blame" is JUST too much!!! OMG!!@#$!%!!!!! It amazes me how Republicans don't care about accuracy as long as it benefits their party. But let CNN make a mistake in a 15 second report and every conservative blogger and the GOP Radio Network goes nuts. Plenty of this crap to go around on both sides.

I don't think so. Designating it as a special day would be the first step to trivilize it. I like the spontaneous remembrances, the community events run by volunteers, etc. Tonight, I will be at a small event hosted by the Boy Scouts. I don't need the atmosphere of "do we get Terrorist Day off?"

It would be largly symbolic, but if the goal is to encourage a healthy body imagine, why not cover both ends? Great turn of a phrase, a human coat hanger.

You always deal from surplus to fill a hole and starting pitching seems to be our surplus. He may be the "odd man out", but a lot of factors come into play. Sadly, as we know, not all are on the field.

Isn't it nice to know that thousands of US service men and women died so these people could rule their own country? Let's see, we invaded because Saddam was torturing citizens and had WMD, after we invade, they are still torturing citizens and we didn't find any WMD. That's improvement Mr. President. As usual, the conservative press will not report this because it would make Bush look bad right before elections.

BTW, if they banned too fat models, would that be ok? There are health risks for being too fat as well.

SS, I agree with everything you wrote there with one exception. Painfully, I have given up on Brandon for this season. I still think he's a mlb pitcher and pretty damn close to taking a regular spot in the rotation. This will come off wrong, but I wish there had been a need in June for Brandon to make three or four starts in a row. Have him take spot, not have it hande to him via a trade like Brian Anderson. Ozzie is in a position where he has to guess who may have an ining or two and so far I'm not seeing any bullpen arms out there. This is a team that doesn't overwork relievers, so I can't blame Oz too much for not having bullpen arms in September.

Thank you.

I am so damn homesick right now

I was getting ready to head to the airport and pick up a group from Milwaukee. They never made it past O'Hare. They had a short layover in Chicago and while taxiing, the plane was stopped and eventually returned to the gate. I had just gotten out of the shower and the Today show was on. At first, not really realizing the size of the WTC, I assumed it was a small single engine plane with a suicidal pilot. As it was sinking in that it was a plane of that size and all the ramifications, the second hit. I spent the rest of the day in prayer and glued to the TV.

smart move.

I'd take Gore over a lot of other cadidates from both sides of the aisle. I'm guessing my early favorite, The Hammer will not be running. (hi Kap) I'd like to see a McCain ticket, on the Dem side, anyone but Hillary, I can't see her winning, no matter how hard the GOP and conservative media tries to paint her the front runner and a lock for the nomination.

No speed and her obp sucks

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 10:53 AM) They also turn away gay people who would like to donate blood, IIRC. That is a FDA rule, so it appears that any blood center has to turn away any man who has sex with another man since 1977. There was a proposal to make it a floating 5 year time period, but the FDA voted no to that as well. I thought with improved testing that was an outdated policy.

Now we rip reporters for drinking the Sox koolaid

Jenks should have been pulled after the third batter.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 11:27 PM) Tex, I make no claims on its accuracy. I haven't seen it, and based on reports that appear even on 'conservative' blogs, there are some 'fake, but accurate' moments in it. But this IS a threat to change, or else. IF the evidence shows serious mistakes in the show, and they are in effect trying to create their own history, then perhaps they should realize what the penalties would be. I can't explain it clearly but we all know this will probably be the version of history that everyone will remember. What they air, will become in our collective concious the "truth". Especially when it airs without commercials and is available for free. This isn't some made for tv movie, this is something more, something biggerl; at least that's going to be the feeling left behind. It's a strange twist, the government is going to the people (re: ABC) and telling them not to abuse the public trust, yet ABC is the public. So the whole thing is twisted.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) You should change your name to ostrich if you can't see that, since your head is obviously buried somewhere. Evil, as much as I like to report on government abusing their positions, I'm siding with Rex on this one. I think it was a reminder that they have a public trust that has to be upeld. Likewise, I would support the network stating that it is a public trust and that is why they are airing it commercial free and making it available for schools. IN other words, both can make the same statement to back their position. Now, I wonder how much of the point counterpoint on what is accurate and what isn't, is based on politics.

THis is a prime example of how stats suck. Freddy gets a no decision, and he pitched his heart out.

I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

I deleted a couple posts that were overboard and those that quoted it. We let a little extra go in the game threads because everything is happening so fast and we're all involved and die with every damn double that got hit. Be cool.

Careful about the attacks, we're all fans and we're all pissed

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) for christ sake, the game ain't over yet, sissies. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Nice game by Freddy. Too bad it was wasted.
