I only found part of the letter on line. Remember that ad ultimately would only cost him $8,500 in most states. Depends on if they have kids.

Always nice to see Be_Good in the house.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) That's it, I need to hire a PR department to rebuild my image... I wonder what Karl Rove is doing now? He's in Iraq winning their election for some guy named Muhammad

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) 67% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! And I'm damn proud of it, y'all!!!! a tip of our RC glasses pards! It must have been the y'alls and coke.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) That would be really cool cause then people could get NBA, MLB, and NFL games on Satellite Radio. Of course they could raise prices due to a lack of competition following the merger. with a larger customer base, the economy of scale kicks in and costs will decrease. This is a boom for the consumer! :rolly

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Damn liberal teacher! ... Joking! .... I would be all for paying teachers more for their time and even more to get more of our quality individuals to consider teaching as a viable career option. We talk all the time about the importance of education, yet we pay our teachers s***. BUT!!!!! ... I think they should have to earn their money. Tenure should be a thing of the past. Results should translate into salary and job security. Nothing more, nothing less. I agree, now how would you judge results? Standardized tests? Grades? Pass/Fail?

We do need to get away from being such a toss it in the landfill society. I suspect it wuld finally get shoppers to bring their own bags. I noticed that my local "Health Food, Hippy Coop" store has way more people being in their own bags than the mega-shop, processed food grocery and crap store.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) 37% (Yankee) you kept looking for "love you long time GI" and not finding it?

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) You'll spam out your friends for just one more post :headshake My first thought was I didn't remember southsider posting that . . .

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) Being naked is fun. Theres a nude beach near me now. I plan on going as often as possible this summer. Why wait? A little too cold for youse guys in Jersey

Could it be that almost no one cared if they played or not? Watching mass career and business suicide was kind of fun to watch for a little while.

I just know y'all talk funny.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) Critic makes me laugh my ass off 8 ways from Sunday all the time with his posts. LCR makes me think. Always well thought out opinions, backed as much as possible by good sources.

I've seen that dog before . . .

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) I can't help but think of Ray Stevens' "The Streak." LOL

That's a great comparison. I believe consistency is going to be the defining factor in this season. What you pay for when you hire a superstar is consistency. By the season end you know A-Rods going to hit .300. Year to year will be pretty much consistent. The second tier has flashes of greatness, followed by periods of mediocrity. Just like our power was inconsistent, speed on the basepaths is inconsistent if the players aren't getting on base.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 09:15 AM) I heard this on the radio this morning. Prayers to their familes and all those who have lost. Add mine. How much is it worth to the US to have Democracy in Iraq? $100,000,000,000 and 10,000 dead? What price is too much?

I know the level of play is very good, I think the best description in AAAA level. I'm wondering about the other issues that effect North American baseball like steroid use, big $$$$ vs. small $ teams, and that sort of thing that may determine the intangibles in switching.

I was reading the Thread title "Man discovered alive in morgue" and thinking, aren't all the workers alive?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) Me. And when I make that decision I expect it to be followed. Most people don't put it in writing unfortunately.
