Interesting insights.

http://gop.com/ http://www.democrats.org/ I'm not certain if the GOP uses .com as a subtle message instead of .org but it does seem interesting. I like both sites, but appreciate the Dem's navigation.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 09:49 AM) That will NOT happen. If you want his show, you'll need to get Sirius. Why are you in this thread? Its clear you are a hater. LOL, hater of Howard or Sirius? BTW, Rex spent most of his career in radio. What I think wil happen is you will be able to get Howard raw and uncensored via Sirius and on a tape delayed and edited version via "regular" radio at some point in the future after they have used him to drive subscription and equipment sales. And I didn't see where someone had to like Howard to offer an opinion.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 09:50 AM) It's like the Alito hearings! Exactly

I am always excited when I start a thread that has everyone talking to each other, exchanging tips and ideas, opening up, expanding one's mind. I think we're making great progress here

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) And Chicago is the largest city outside of Warsaw(Captial of Poland) in the world that speaks Polish.. Where is their show? Again, when is the shows going to start for other Ethinic backgrounds, and why do we contuine to cater only to spanish speaking? That my fellows sox fans is racist. S.O.D. said it best.. LOL. What bulls***. There are more Spanish only speakers in the listening area than Polish only speakers. It's all about attracting advertising dollars. The Polish community has been well integrated into the population and speaks ENGLISH, so they can understand the current programming. In the US, there is a huge influx of first generation Spanish speaking immigrants, who do not speak English yet. That is why Spanish language advertising is hot, and why more Spanish language radio and TV stations are forming. Why haven't there been many Polish, Italian, French, TV stations?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 07:14 AM) I'm not going to search through this entire thread, but I don't believe I said liberals can't be religious. The liberal platform, as a whole, has a couple of planks that I feel are very ... well, let me just use the word "wrong". I know there are many good, God respecting people that happen to agree with many aspects of the liberal agenda. I don't believe said anything along the lines of a person who is a liberal is therefore Godless. If I did, feel free to point it out to me and we'll discuss it. I might even recant. I agree there are planks in the Democratic platform that I do not support, and there are planks in the conservative platform I do support. I'm surprised that anyone could take either party's platform and accept every bit, but I guess there are a few out there. It isn't worth travelling back through the thread. I believe you explained it very well in this post.

It's the Sox torch, not Franks of which I speak. And most of you were not alive when I went to my first Sox game. Well Frank is gone, and someone will be the face of the organization, and that will be Paul. However you want to phrase it is y'alls choice. And to be honest, Frank could never carry Baines' torch who couldn't carry Fisk's torch, so all is cosistent in the universe.

As the torch gets passed from Frank to Paul . . . Paul is carrying it well.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) Actually, yes, I do. I remember my father-in-law one year had all of his Council's extra in his garage for next year. Sam's Club wouldn't have that much inventory.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 08:40 AM) man thats scary.... alligators are badasses.... much scarrier than sharks who get more negative attention. Did you see the pic of the gator in open water swimming with the deer? And it was verified on snopes.com which is very reliable.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 08:23 AM) Catholic. I went through the RCIA program and was baptized/confirmed in 2002. I am active and an officer in the Knights of Columbus. Got any Tootsie Rolls

http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gatordeer.asp Looking something up at snopes, I stumbled across this. Wow.

I'm Catholic, but also am very involved in an outreach Ministry through the United Methodist Church. At least one Sunday, and sometimes two, I am ministering to young men and women in a camp setting.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 07:03 AM) I've never made that connection before. YAS ain't a bad nickname for my nickname. Last AL Triple Crown winner and HOF'er. Not bad at all. I figured you for a Yas fan from NY, or possibly Yastremsky was your name. The actual is cooler.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 06:33 AM) He sure laid that ice rink out when the grass was green. Seems like he went to a lot of trouble to do it too. I have an easier idea. Clear the snow from the area to be your rink. Bank up the snow around the perimeter. Fill with water. That's what we did as kids, but as an adult, I'm liking his design. We usually grabbed shovels and headed to the lake.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) Um, Tex, with the $.4 an hour, they weren't talking about moving stuff to Mexico, they were talking about genuinely overseas, i.e. to Asia. Yes, but my point is, even with a much smaller delta, the jobs are still being moved. You also have to factor in trasportation amd logistic costs.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) By the way, quick question, stolen from a blog. Remember that Iraqi election about a month ago? Um, who actually won that? I am quite confident it was the Iraqi guy

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) Anthrax, I'm not running from anything. We cannot debate this issue and there is a very simple reason for it. You cannot comprehend my point of view. My point of view is based on something you do not understand, and will refuse to acknowledge. I'm talking about faith. That is entire basis for belief, even to extent of choosing faith over logic. Logic, such as 'There is no God because there is no scientific proof that exists'. If you do not have faith, you cannot understand or comprehend faith or the strength of that faith. I'll tell you something. I know God exists. I know it for a fact. Yet, I'm not going to even begin to try and explain to how I know, as you'll dismiss it outright. A debate on this subject, between us, is not worth my time or effort. Now then, to the two of you I told to "go to hell", I apologize to each of you for my outburst. However, it couldn't have been too insulting to you since in your opinions, hell does not exist ... unless you are talking about a small town in Michigan. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Now my friend, have faith that liberals can be religious. When we hear Jesus say, If you love me, feed my sheep. We believe that is for longer than 52 weeks and can be done through the government, as long as the people are fed. When we hear, thou shall not kill, we take that as absolute and not to include punishment. We see God in everyone and refuse to turn our backs and believe collectively we can do more. We see Jesus feeding the masses even though the masses didn't plan ahead of time and bring their own loaf and fish, and think we can feed the masses. We point to passages that prove God's love for us. Peace.

BUt if you carry only one, and use it, wouldn't you then be in trouble for not carrying one? Or wait, does it say it has to be new?

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) You don't need to cut corporate taxes or write a stupid article wondering why we're losing jobs. Companies have the option of using workers who are paid an average of say $15/hr versus $.4/hr. Now what do you think the companies are going to choose? Sadly, the delta isn't that close. Manufacturing workers on this side of the river, on average, make $8-$9 per hour. Real wages, with government mandated and union mandated benefits, on the Mexico side are $6 to $7. But add up thousands of hours a week times 52 weeks and the difference between US/South Texas and 20 miles south in Mexico makes economic sense. Now in some ways this helps us by opening up markets for our intellectual property and eliminates some of the desperation that temps Mexicans to risk their lives coming to the US as illegals.
