  1. I'm not giving up on BMacs career, but I don't want to see him late or close.
  2. Back to praying Minny and the Tigers lose every game
  3. Man of the hour, time for his second walk off
  4. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) Ok, Pierzynski leads off the 9th...advances to first on a strikeout with a ball in the dirt, Pablo pinch runs, steals 2nd, and Crede doubles him in off the left field wall. Who's with me? Could never happen
  5. Ozzie has to be the best interview in baseball. Funny stuff. He could post here, if he wasn't so damn optimistic.

    QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:38 AM) What power can you have in a six person relief group? My premise was a smaller relief agency, close to the people in need, would be better than a large, multinational, out of touch agency. The smaller agency would be less likely to have resources and more likely to be corrupt.

    QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) I gotta go with Balta on this one... absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are more likely to be the tempations that would cause corruption in a bigger organization, vs a smaller one. There is also probably a more intimate connection to the cause, which would lead to being less likely to steal from it. I agree with you on the premise but wouldn't absolute power be more likely in a six person relief organization?

    I am thnking of something like the Balta-Tex charity with a half dozen employees in some third world backwoods. I'd trust Catholic Charities, Heart Association, United Way, and those types before I'd trust the likes of you and me.

    Pointless Facts

    I was a huge Who fan in high school and college. One of my favorite memories was SIU, Halloween, someone playing Baba O'Reilly at full volume outside a dorm building. About 200 people singing along in between chugs of Bush beer. OK, the beer sucked, but the rest of the moment was cool.
  12. What does she look like? Maybe I'd do her.
  13. I'd be thinking the same thing. Now if the allegations are true, she may have been raped *and* her daddy may be in jail.

    It would seem that smaller organizations, that can get closer to the problem, would have a better understanding of what is needed. But those are more likely to not have large resources and more likely to be corrupt.

    Thinking about it, The Who were more an album band than a singles band. BTW, easily my favorite band.
