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.

Age old question answered

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) This is odd. A show of hands - How many think she went of her own free will and this was their "story" if he ever got caught? I'm thinking either 1.) It was a setup from the start 2.) It wasn't but became one later 3.) Stockholm Effect Like I said, this is going to be interesting.

Good point.

Hmmm, I'll bet this will taking some interesting turns before it's over.

Maybe they thought they were getting DAVID Robinson. Did Kenny handle this deal for them?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) Glad to see that Slezak has been getting some writing tips from her collegue at the Sun Times on how to make something out of nothing. LOL. Actually I think we may be making more out of it. Didn't we have a Lee attitude thread a month or two ago? And I know we discussed Jose and his power numbers and lower average. If the shoe fits . . . But let's give her kudos for not mentioning Frank. That's the writers first reflex for the past 15 years.

Actually he didn't say anyone last year was selfish either.

I'll bet we could put 25 unselfish, team orientated, whose goal is winning, right here from Soxtalk. But they would have less talent than necessary. Attitude is nice, but the talent has to be there are well. I think we have a decent blend of both.

Well if it is true all I can say is Get Crede a boyfriend! Truth, do you post on beeradvocate?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) Would those be the same Democrats that posted movies of Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter dolls being run over by cars on a web site a few weeks ago? (Did you forget about that one, or did it just not fit your political agenda?) :rolly I don't condone what Hannity said, but the political hackery that you speak of is prevalent on the left as well. which is why we shouldn't take any of them seriously. And let's remember he's an entertainer, not a journalist. Different standards need to apply. We he says he is going to slam the guy, calling him an asshole, etc. appeals to his listeners and helps his ratings.

Check out infowars.com in this guy's pickup. Nice site.

Has anyone done a monthly wallpaper wth schedule? I couldn't find it, if one was posted. And if someone is going to do one, could you please put the schedule on the right side of the screen? Icons take up about 1/2 my screen.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) I don't know. I also thought that he had a relatively good relationship with JP II in his last year of office? Then again, I was only 4 at the time and am relying off of today's media for my information. Carter talked about differnences between Baptists and Catholics, and got himself (post Presidency) in trouble with one or the other. I've forgotten which group. It wasn't specific to the Pope. I wonder how many ex-Presidents have attended a Pope's funeral? This is certainly a US show of strength and respect. Three Presidents attending and our Secretary of State.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050405/D899BTI80.html Apparently by 2008 Americans will need passports to re-enter country from Canada, Mexico, Panama and Bermuda, and Canadians will need passports to enter. More info at link. Yikes, that will make working in Mexico an even bigger pain in the ass. Currently it's a simple two question pass "American Citizen?" "yes" "Anything to Declare?" "no" "Have a nice day . . ." Border crossing could take anywhere from 5 seconds to an hour depending on the tourist traffic, number of bridge lanes open, if you were in a Customs (slow) or Immigration (fast) staffed lane.

Apprehension numbers are down and that's a success? Wasn't the reason they are there because apprehension numbers were too low and too many illegals were entering the country? I thought it would be a sucess if MORE illegals were being caught. If after they leave, the Border Patrol doesn't catch anyone, would it mean the protest was a success and no one is crossing anymore? Could it be while the Border Patrol is checking on sensors tripped by the Minutemen, illegals are getting past?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) The Pope's would be assasin wants to attend his funeral http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3ps.htm Watch it on tv like everyone else. :banghead I'm certain there are a lot of convicted criminals that would like a get out of jail for a day cards.

Actually it could speed crossing for people who cross everyday. I know the Hidalgo Bridge has been scheduled to test out a kind of easy pass lane with an electronic indicator which would allow users to by-pass the Customs or Border Patrol stops. If they increase that program for frequent crossers, that would give them time to check the passports or US ID for everyone else.
