I think Walgreen is following the best course of helping those people get licensed in a state where they can refuse to aid in an abortion.

This is why I laughed at Konerko saying he wants to be a Sox player forever. Doesn't happen in real life. Loyalty just doesn't happen in baseball.

I felt and wrote after the Thome signing that in a typical Sox move they were going to sign 35-year old + injury @ 7.2 mil *instead of* 29-year old + All-Star + Division MVP @ $12-$15 mil. I thought the chances were slimer than none that Konerko would be a Sox player in 2006. I am happy to admit I was verrrrrrry wrong.

I am now so excited both for the Konerko signing *AND* the Thome signing. Getting Frank back is probably asking too much at this point

I think there needs to be a display/room/area that discusses baseball history and Rose should be discussed there, along with the Black Sox, etc. IMHO the Hall needs to be part of a baseball museum. I will say this, I think betting on baseball, in the manner that Rose did, is less an offense than using steroids when they were banned. Rose betting on the outcome of a game he was not involved in does not effect the competition, a player in that same game on steroids is taking an unfair advantage outside the rules and does effect the competition.

At 29, he would be younger than Thome at the end of this contract. I don't have a problem going 5 with Paul, depending on the total dollars. I was expecting 4/$52-$55 so 5/for about the same dollars seems reasonable. Of course he should be offering a home town discount and is he doesn't sign he's a greedy asshole.

I was going to pick #3 for you because #1) f***ing with anyone and helping them make a poor choice, is an Internet tradition, and a Soxtalk favorite of mine. #2) I'm guessing you haven't learned to tie shoes yet. #3) If we ever meet in real life and you are wearing those, it would be so damn funny. Kudos for being smart enough to ask the ladies for advice. Your mom would be proud.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) I'd settle for giving them a shovel and having a canal dug from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. And screw over the company with an owner that risked everything to start a canal digging business. The same guy who would be paying for the project via his taxes? This is the problem whenever the government starts running businesses unrelated to a function of the government and is competing with private business. It sounds great on the surface, but, as a taxpayer, do you want these people on *your* payroll? All of a sudden they have government jobs with government benefits, you were going to provide insurance? A friend of mine was forced to lay off 8 workers when his company lost a nice cable assembly contract to a prison system. I am certain voters in the state that put the prisoners to work, were delighted they were learning a skill and paying their own way, but the families effected by the lay off were probably less than enthused about the program. But YAS, I do agree, it just feels good to have them work. And it has plenty of upsides, greater self esteem, job skill development, getting some productivity from our tax dollars. I just don't know how to accomplish that without harming private business that is already providing that service. And come on how about a smiley for the comrade reference??

Let's please take a moment at realize that this is the exception, that thousands of people proudly serve this country in an honest and forthright manner. This is the extreme exception, not the rule. I need only drive about 10 miles south to see the opposite, that small corruption is the norm and expected.
