Have we had any more planes crashing into buildings since this may have began? If it's true, it's working.

Happy Birthday!!

The joke was what am I? Richard Pryor jogging I'm going to hell, but at least I'll finally get to meet some of y'all

Lem Siddons

His contributions to comedy and fire safety were immense. RIP

Roger Clemens Mark, as long as he continues to earn it.

What makes this so cool, is it was more of the on field fit than the marketing dream that made this trade.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) I’ve been curious as to why there isn’t one of those standard “Read This before You Post” or FAQ type of things to allow new posters to get up to speed on the site’s dos and don’ts. Since Soxtalk has been around for awhile, I figure it must be a conscious philosophical decision not to have such, rather than not having the time to do so. Just wondered what the reasoning was behind that decision. One reason is as soon as we print a list, there are some posters who will see how far they can push each rule. We are trying to handle this more like a family, than as a anonymous city. Sometimes it works well, other times it blows up in our faces.

As part of President Bush's Faith Based initiative we have these faith/secular law issues. I am a big fan of Bush's initiative and applaud Churches that offer help within the secular laws that are in place.

I watched in agony as my parents dealt with the death of my brother in a traffic accident. As a species we are not equiped and prepared to bury a son or daughter. It is not the cycle of life we expect.

I am glad we are keeping this real. I would have loved to give my favorite city, my hometown, the gift of a World Series Championship, but they already have one!!!!!! God, I still love saying that. In the next layer of not realistic, there are some great kids that I have had the pleasure of being their Scoutmaster for 5 years that I would love to be able to write a check for their college educations. One in particular has a gift with animals and our world will be a better place with him as a Veterinarian. If I could give him the gift of an acceptance letter to Vet school and pay for it, I would be a happy man. (Vet school is harder to enter than regular medical school) A little more doable, but still not possible, I would love to give to the Scouts a Chapel at Camp Perry. Ours was destroyed over a decade ago, and the funds have not been found to build a new one. We have a couple locations that would be ideal, but there have been other projects more pressing. Closer to home, I would love to buy my son a car. I have a good friend with a special wish this Christmas, who is moving heaven and earth to make happen. I wish I could offer more support and help. And finally, I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company

My heart and prayers go out to the parents. I can't imagine the agony they are experiencing.

Thanks for the reminder. I will get started on them soon and we'll have the polls set up before Christmas. Any suggestions for additions and subtractions from the categories?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) You people are advocating coddling when you say we cant use harsh methods to extract information from these people. If Im not mistaken under international law all an interrogator can do to a suspect is talk to him and nothing more. I fail to see how beating information out of a terrorist can be equated to cutting off someones ear or dipping him in acid ( yes Hussein did that ) or to performing medical experiments on people ( Hitler/Mengele ). Nuke, I don't believe that that is the limit under International law. But for the sake of a question, how do you justify the US breaking International Law? We are suppose to be the standard bearer of decency and human dignity, can we really say one thing and do another and have any credibility in the world? BTW, check out this link to a recently unclassified Rummy memo. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB127/03.04.16.pdf There is a lot they can do.

I heard he was discussing politics on his favorite baseball site

This is exactly why I will never question or blame a player for packing his bags and leaving via free agancy. Konerko spoke about wanting to be a Sox player until he retires, what a joke. It is a business and it's a business for both the players and the owners. Sad, sad, day.
