Another, I'm going to hell moment

Dammit now I have this song stuck in my head It's a nasty mix of Stevie Nix/Fleetwood Mac and Natalie from the Dixie Chicks singing and they morph into Bush in a dress

All this coughing, I thought I was in the emphysema ward cough whatboyswant cough

Let me put this into persepective as an out of towner. I went into the local Lids store and picked up a new Sox cap. They had one choice and 6 in stock. In the previous 8 months the manager told me they sold 3 Sox caps and "dozens and dozens" of Cub caps. Check MLB merchandizing sales and with the exception of the years when "black was hip, gangster style" the Sox are never near the top. We do not have the fan base of the Cubs, Giants, Red Sox, etc.

Spoken like a Sox fan. Losing in the LCS is "on top" Since he began pitching closer to home for me, I have found a new respect for the man. Houston is the "home team" on my cable package and I did scan the starters and tried to see the games he was involved in. Guys like Clemans and Randy Johnson are redefining the length of a pro athletes career.

When ever I see President George W. Bush on TV, I picture him in a dress and red hair.

Only if you die before 2007 is it a once in a lifetime The once in a lifetime event last night was the Red Sox A never in my lifetime will be the ScRubs

That is one of the reasons his site has received high marks for being balanced and fair. No editoralizing, just links and an occassional story. Even Dems like it.

And the GOP is complaining I'm certain they are fair and balanced

So the campaigns shouldn't have voter registration drives? Would you also think it is wrong for individuals to urge their friends to register and vote a certain way? Is the problem only when it involves organizations and strangers? People can receive rides to the poll, one group in Iraq is making certain the GIs get their absentee ballots in on time, that is a Republican led effort, is that wrong. That is more than just registering, that's actually getting the ballots.

Think smooth with the paddling. The teams that put as little stress on their boats as possible seem to do better.

He specifically stated he knew them all, and they were all earning over $200,000. And if the Bush tax cuts were not made permanent, unemployment would increase and cripple his city.

IMHO and I even hate the think about it, an election eve terrorist attack would mean the election for Bush. We always rally around the President. That's why Bush hasn't caught Binny Laden

If the school told the GOP they couldn't register anyone unless a DEM group also agreed, would that be better? The parties sponsor almost all the voter registration drives. As long as a school gives equal access, I don't see a problem. Pan-Am has a very vocal, active Young Republicans club and no Democratic Organization. I would not be in favor of kicking them off campus until a Dem group forms. If the parties had no incentive to register people, they wouldn't do it. A bigger problem is the early voting and absentee voting. As I mentioned in another thread, the local GOP campaign came to my door and offered to help me with an absentee ballot, then offered a ride to the polls when I said I would vote on election day. SHould we require a DEM and a GOPer travel with any get to the polls campaign?

So it could be a nut job without access to weapons or it could be a nut job with access to weapons I feel so much better

If they sent it to the CIA, it would never be aired. Ashcroft would wave the orange flag or red flag or whatever damn color is next and sterilize the threat. Terrorists rely on terror. Home movies of beheadings work, 150 page manifestos don't. Contacting ABC works, contacting the CIA doesn't. It is times like these I wish the Soviets still had some cash. With all their nuklure materials in rusty storage sheds guarded 40 hours a week, I'm most worried about an atomic explosion. The holy grail of terror.

You have to love a government united to do what is best for the citizens

If you were the head of ABC News what would you do with the tape? Air it and risk getting slammed by the GOP talking heads about liberal media bias trying to destroy Bush's chances? Don't air it and not warn the American public? Imagine if they didn't and another 9/11 event happened. They would be lynched.

Both parties have strategies for what if scenarios. What if Bin Laden is confirmed dead or captured. (both parties have plans, both parties have layed out forshadowing. I will guarandamntee the Dems will say we Told You! Dubya was hiding him until the election and the GOP will tell you how well the fight on terrorism is going. What is a terrorist attacks happens GOP: See this is no time to switch jockeys we're being attacked, again. DEM: See we are losing this war, we need a new jockey. You name it, political strategiest have contingency plans for whatever. From now until Wednesday, if anything happens around terrorists we'll see so much spin-counterspin the planet may stop revolving.

The longest for me was on the Edens heading to a Bulls game, which I missed. Some idiot was being chased by FBI, and local cops. He was finally stopped, center lane, about 10 miles south of the 94 merge. He threatened with a gun to kill his dog and himself :rolly The standoff lasted to the wee hours of the morning. Someone cut a hole in the fence and we exited after a couple hours stuck in our cars. I remember listening to Eddie Schwartz on WGN who assumed the guy was listening to WGN. Eddie was offering advice and his usual stuff. Turns out the gunman was listening to WBBM

That guy's vote was affected by his lunch

The second longest traffic jam of my life was on that damn road.

I cannot remember Frank being good with the media. Perhaps the media was less critical when he was the most feared batter in baseball. It seems like Frank has always been Frank.

I'd be afraid of an eleven-year old campaigning against me. It would be helpful to know who picks the neighborhoods. I would have a hard time believing that the 6-graders were being bused out of their areas. In this election, about half of Americans will bother to vote. In a non-Presidential race, the numbers really plummet. I would encourage all efforts to bring kids into the process when they are young. Create a desire to vote. It's a disgrace that we have American's dying in Iraq to give Iraqi's the freedom to vote, and almost half our population is too damn lazy to be bothered. Both parties have get out the vote programs. I was asked by the local GOP if I would volunteer last week to drive people to the polls. (Texas has early voting). I also had a local campaign volunteer offer to help me with an absentee ballot. I guess the Bush yard sign is a magnet.
