QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:20 AM) This reminds me of someone else, who won't fluctuate one iota on a particular issue because this person feels so strongly. Just saying. Thank you, I'll admit it. Also, just saying.

And let them remember the first rule of democracy. Elections do not guarantee you will not get ass clowns for leaders.

Anyone else notice he talked about a sore back that has bothered him for 4 years? I cannot recall any mention of a back problem while he was offering batting practice in a White Sox uniform. I like the guy. He's an example of a great attitude guy with a major drop in effectiveness. I think everyone who has ever been fired, downsized, or felt in general screwed with by a corporation wishes they could go and cheer on the competition.

I honestly never owned a Michael Jackson album, tape, or cd. I also was a bar DJ during that time and was Working Day And Night with a boss who kept demanding I Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough and would always want to Rock With You. Man he would come in and tell us to Get On the Floor and Off The Wall while his Girlfriend, well She's Out Of My Life because It's The Falling In Love that I Can't Help It and had to Burn This Disco Out. I've had all the Jackson music I can stand.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) Jeeze Tex, you had to go and get so smart on us. I majored in Journalism the first time around and also thought that was the standard style sheet as well. Then I started poking around and found out it isn't the case. Most newspapers have style books that guide their reporters in such matters. It does bring up an interesting point that on-line newspapers are not keeping up with a readers need to know. It would seem that an article posted on the Internet has a wider audience and those sort of identifiers should be up higher in the story.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) At the risk of having LCR saying that I see conspricies everywhere, notice how the story never mentions that he is a Democrat until the 7th paragraph? Isn't that usually noted in () right after their names first appears, such as 'Senator Ford (D)? It's in a Memphis newspaper. Does the Tribune and Sun-Times always print Mayor Daley (D) in their stories? Senator Obama (D)? I know our local paper rarely identifies our leader's party. When they report on someone from out of the area, they add it. But Congressman Hinojosa, Senators Cornyn and Hutchinson, are rarely tagged. I just quickly hit the Sun-Times and picked a couple national reports.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) First time in the history of the USA that a President has attended a Popes funeral. Now we send 3 and it isn't enough.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:04 PM) Ears bleeding, pain, pain, pain. Just heard a Tim McGraw cover of Tiny Dancer. I'm going to have nightmares for a week....*shudder* OMG Tell me it ain't so. :puke and I listen to country.

The guest list for the Pope's funeral includes over 200 heads of state. What an inviting terrorist target. I wonder if it really is wise for Bush to attend. This must be the most security conscious event in history.

RIP.

Do school officials ever get out? Energy mints have been around for years now. :headshake

I was just about to post that she should do the Playboy centerfold thing before it was too late. (the truly last resort to get attention) Apparently, it is too late.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) When you don't get to see games as often as most of you do, you are thankful for any opportunity to watch. All you can do is hope for the best, just like any other game. And we do tend to either get rained out or suck up the place.

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) It's more important for our Sec. of State to be there, then President Carter. It's ceremonial, seems like a perfect gig for a retired President. At the minimum, I would have selected Carter before Clinton.

Made room for Rice by dropping a President?? Not cool.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) Thank God Michael had his attorney with him, in the room, when Terri passed. I am certain she would have preferred to be surrounded by Michael and his attorney, instead of her brother and sister. It just is too sad that Michael couldn't be surrounded by his current spouse and their children in his time of sorrow. QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Maybe her own brother should have thought about that before he started a fight IN the hospis with the cops. QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Defend who...? Just who did I defend...? Michael.. ? I didn't say s*** about Michael... It was Michael who banned the sister and brother from the room.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) JimH has this right. Interview with someone as "important" as JR are always done with a list of pre-agreed upon questions. Yesterday, it sounded like they went far away from there. Right or wrong, it wasn't very smart on their part when they're trying to lock down this time slot. Not always. It depends on how much the interviewer needs the interview or intervee needs the interview. If JR was being interviewed because he wants to sell White Sox tickets, a very good idea, the questions might not have been pre arranged. This might have been the WS calling up the station and offering JR for a 10 minute interview about the Sox. It may not have come with any strings attached. In other words, the Sox probably wanted the interview more than the station. Or at the minimum it was mutually beneficial. Regardless, JR by now should have enough PR skills to turn that interview. Hey. it's opening day, let's talk baseball. By the third time, even these guys would have taken the hint. The Sox need to reclaim the city and every interview, every public statement, is another battle to be won.
