My two months at the beach are over and time to get back into the swing of things. About all I received was game updates on my cell. Could someone give me a two month summary? I do like seeing Alomar back. Knowing Kenny's history, I delayed my reaction until I found out which one

Both parties agreed in 2000 to having the courts draw the map because they were deadlocked. Then when a shift in power made a grab possible one party changed their minds. And my man the Hammer led the way The new districts are so wrong. My congressman has a district 20 miles wide and 200 miles long.

Hasn't the administration bragged how they were tracking terrorists via their money? Look at their web site

Rush busted? Maybe, like Tom Sawyer, he was trying to stay in the Limelight until 2112, of his own Freewill, he's a Working Man, not some Fly by Night, and needs to keep this Closer to the Heart. Maybe for The Big Money he'll become a New World Man and listen to the Distant Early Warning because that is the Spirit of the Radio.

Once again, hard at work. No phone, no tv, no newspapers, no internet (until today). Hope all is well with everyone. I am going to wade through the 1450 emails waiting and maybe stop back for a few minutes. I do miss everyone here. Imagine getting homesick for a message board.

This lost in the 60s chick wanders too close to an Army base and starts with her peace and love crap. This Army Sargeant comes over, all straight backed and irritated at the sox bullpen and liberals on soxtalk, and starts ripping her back. She looks at him and says he's not getting enough loooove. "when did you make love last?" "1955" "1955! OMG, that's why you're so hung up and tense" She grabs him by the hand and leads him back to her microbus and starts to relax him. After a couple intense lovemaking sessions, she exclaims "wow, you haven't forgotten a move in all that time" "I don't think I would have, it's only 2230 now"

Has any band been more fan friendly then the Dead? I actually liked the seemingly absurd pairing of Hornsby and the Dead. It reminded me of the Munsters I only attended a couple Dead concerts, and they were past their prime, but what a party.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 07:38 AM) The info we were getting on incoming flights was passenger manifest information, not reading habits, membership affiliatons and clothing sizes. The names of the passengers were made available, along with info sucj as how they paid and if there was a return flight. Just how would you have the FBI or CIA gather this info if not from the airlines themselves? Start an investigation into each person coming into the country before they are allowed to fly in? And FYI, as I said "Sure, they can pick some winners, but they sure can pick some losers." I always like to see how this could be abused. We know it never stops at this point. What we have is the government tracking how you bought a ticket and when you will be leaving or staying. If this is the slippery slope that we are allowing, where could it lead? The government tracking your road trips as well? Checking in with big brother? IMHO a little bit of paranoia here is a good thing. As a broad overview, the ACLU wants is to have the maximum amount of freedoms and the least amout of government restrictions. With them fighting the government all the way doesn't that keep the government in check? We are smart enough to know they aren't fighting to help perverts look at pornography, they are fighting to let normal citizens look at materials that others may find offensive. It is just to whittle away at those freedoms the government finds loathsome persons to act against. I think we are better served if we look at what is being done, not who it is benefitting in that case.

The cell phone and text messages have been an economic problem for more than one recruit. ESPN ran a report on that over a year ago. When I was being recruited for cross country it was all letters and a couple phone calls through my High School, nothing to my house. The funniest one I received was for football. I was smart enough to know I would never make the team and played golf or ran cross country in the fall. I never played a down of high school football. I called the school, who could resist, and was told a secretary mistook two lists and sent out the wrong letters. I always wondered how well that team played with a bunch of 140 pound linemen and how their cross country faired with 280 pounders. Someone's per diem was screwed.

I think Josh Howard and D-Wade will offset, and then that leaves it to the other role players - which I think Dallas is just a little deeper, and has home court. Dallas in 7. Texas homer me too

Bottom line the ACLU defends the Constitution not the groups whose rights are being challenged. While it would be nice if those persons were always perfect, that isn't how we chip away rights in this country. We trample on the Constitution with groups we don't like, and when it gets applied to us, then we worry. I don't have problems with the military having equal access with other groups to recruit.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) George W. Bush? LMFAO! I'm sorry, I had to say it. I would have mentioned him up until the past couple years. I still be believe he is of good character.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 08:02 AM) LOL. Who was the last "person of higher character" who made it onto a Presidential Election ballot for the two major parties? Maybe Bob Dole? Michael Dukakis? Jimmy Carter? I was thinking all levels, but you ask a good question.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) There are a lot of things the ACLU has done over the years that has royally pissed me off. But, I'm glad they are around. The ACLU has been a major pain in the backside to BSA, and seems to always be on the side of some group or cause I would not want to be identified with but, I do agree with YASNY. I can never write this clearly but here goes. Where do we draw the line? things that should be protected ___|___ things that shouldn't be protected As a society, we become rather knee jerk in our reaction to things and start to become more and more strict. IMHO, without someone taking unpopular positions and judging them against our Constitution, we would wind up with things that should be ___|___ protected things that shouldn't be protected So when our Constitution allows people who should not be on the same planet with children, to be 1001 feet away or 500 feet away, I cringe and think we're things that should be protected things that ___|___ shouldn't be protected By protecting the most depicable causes and people and making certain their rights are respected, the margin of error means that everything that should be protected is. IN other words, to assure everyone good has their rights, we put up with a few idiots and perverts having their rights preserved. The alternative is eliminating rights for all the idiots and perverts and having some good people silenced as well. Plus, there is always a check and balance. The legislature can always rewrite any law and try to get it passed on that basis. The fine tuning brings the line back to where it should be. In another X feet away law. McAllen (city of over 100,000 people) passed an ordinance that made strip bars illegal within 750 feet of any Church or School. Seems fair enough until you consider there is no point in McAllen that isn't within 750 feet of any Church or School QUOTE(minors @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) That's not true they stand up for the murderers, child molesters and every other thug because these are good people and God is the real ememy not these upstanding people. They stand up for the Constitution and anyone who seeks to create laws that are against the Constitution.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) You may be right. But, what we have now totally sucks. I know Kap will disgaree, but to fix this we need Dems to fix Dems and Reps to fix Reps. Not make excuses, but grab back their parties. Until then, we get what we deserve. Too many will vote for a douchbag from their party instead of a person of higher character from the other. And I believe we are better off with elected leaders of high character over politics.

I was thinking we could agree on Zeppelin And YAS, are you saying North America would have been better off if the Indians had controlled their borders?

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) How about having all the primaries on the same day? This way Iowa and a few East Coast states don't decide who we have left to vote for. Or divide the states into 3 or 4 groups. One year, group A votes first, next year, group B, etc. Almost anything would be better. Perhaps even make it geographical and rotate the schedule each election cycle. Hell is freezing over.
