QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) I don't blame him for not knowing. It's just so easy to pick on him. Always fumbling and bumbling over words. Especially when he isn't prepared. he certainly isn't Reagan in that regard, or Clinton for that matter. I actually think he was better when he was Governor of Texas. He didn't try to be so "Presidential".

I bet the person responsible for screening the questions has some explaining to do.

Sorry, I can't blame Bush for not knowing everything about everything. I think he has been busy.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) red sox apologist? perhaps im missing the humor. There isn't any humor.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) CNN poll says Americans support Alito's confirmation rather strongly. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/23/alito/index.html I like him. I don't agree 100% with his positions, but he seems like a decent man. I see no reason to not confirm him.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) i have broken the soxtalk rules one time, yet i have been banned twice. theres something wrong with this picture. im perfectly calm, perfectly lightened up, i just would rather discuss baseball than my posting preferences. Just offering some insight on the guy you think is an embarassment.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) Also, never trust a woman without a navel. Once both sides have made opening posts, please post your questions. After they are answered, you may offer a rebuttal.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) please, im begging you, for once just offer something to the thread rather than being this power hungry admin. You are kidding, right? Power hungry admin? Sorry dude, As someone that knows, Abo is as opposite that description as you can get. He has been a big part of the site growing from less than 10 posters to the current levels. He has contributed a ton. Lighten up.

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) Dont worry I am not scared of anything. I am glad I managed to entertain some people. Welcome

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) I forgot. You're right. LOL

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) haha I remember hearing about this. I love this episode.

Airing now on most cable stations. LOL

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 08:46 AM) I dunno. I thought they were all good. You just have to have a twisted sense of humor, I guess. They are much better when he is coaching a team I don't care about.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 08:44 AM) Agreed. But most young fans are ignorant to previous eras. It's really sad. I think Qwerty even said Wilt wasn't that good because he dominated white midgets? lol. I could pull up a pretty impressive list of centers Wilt destroyed in his day. Imagine what Wilt would do if he got to go up against the centers of today. Wilt would have some troubles. He'd be hacked much more today. But most nights, he'd have it pretty easy.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 08:20 AM) See some film eh. This reminds me of a bad Dave Wanstedt press conference. Was there ever a good Dave Wanstedt press conference?

The only guy on the court that could guard MJ was MJ. If MJ wasn't such an offensive player, he would have been talked about as the best defensive guard of all time. MJ would have found a way to keep Shaq and Phil around. MJ knew when to keep his ego in check. On the offensive side of the court, Kobe is as close to MJ as I've seen. But as an all-around talent? Nope. Not yet. BTW, the closest to MJ was actually before him. Oscar Robertson, he averaged a triple double during the 1961-62 season. 12.5 RPG 11.4 APG 30.8 PPG Most new fans don't realize what a phenom the Big O was.

The biggest lie I can think of is that Sox fans would never support the Cubs. Eventually, the Cubs would be selling out every game like Boston. Die Hard Sox fans would never cross over, but many more would. IMHO, the Cubs would have had a WS winner by now with the increased payroll am extra million fans would have brought in.

I don't want to be accused of being negative here, but I doubt it. Where is the proof? Just a quick snapshot from last year tells me we have to many high quality pictures already. Maybe if we enlarge the staff, who knows? Although, the current crop does seem pretty good. I'd have to see some film.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Jan 22, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) my uneduacted guess: no poisoning took place. this happens sometimes. this was not brought on by terrorists, just some s***ty water. And it is Halliburton's responsibility to assure our forces don't drink s***ty water. It looks worse for them when it isn't terrorism, just shoddy controls on the water quality and a possible cover-up. This also highlights the enormous challenge of basically creating small cities with all the infrastructure requirements. It is amazing we can do that as effectivly as we can.

I don't know what newspaper coverage you get but The Monitor and Valley Morning Star had a AP story on their front page almost every day regarding the swifties. They found every angle possible. And the GOP radio network isn't mainstream? We must have different definitions of mainstream. BTW, it seems that during the GRN shows, they also run news stories.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 07:29 AM) "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it". Yet we reelected him.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 07:33 AM) I really wish we could get a candidate from EITHER party that would take a hard line against terrorism, look at the REAL effects of tax cuts, be a fiscal conservative, and steer the government OUT of our day-to-day lives. Where is that type of candidate likely to emerge from? Not from either party. They all want to cut our taxes and give us free stuff. They want to trample on the constitution. They will also attract enemies as fast as they attract supporters. They would probably be very confrontational. I can think of a couple politicians that could pull it off. Some better than others.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 07:07 AM) Good I say. Hopefully he and John McCain breakaway and establish some kind of honest to goodness moderate party. While I like both guys, and of plausable scenarios, that would be a great ticket, I think their time has passed. McCain should have been elected in 2000, but an effective Bush strategy kept him out. I think we need more of a Reagan get tough and kick ass around the world guy. These guys are too soft.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) That well may have happened. But, at least it wasn't money from the Chinese government. Always back to Clinton. :headshake People talk about how the left is always after Bush, yet years after Clinton left office, some GOPers are still trying to get him I agree with Evil and others, he could have forgotten. I also think that would be the first line of defense.
