    To the best of my knowledge we have not deleted links to non commercial sites. Only gambling sites.
  7. You also have to factor in the AL vs. NL in total offense. I will not get excited about this possible trade. I just do not see Randy coming here. I believe he would rather stay put than play for a second place team. I'll bet if any of the playoff teams from last year put a decent trade together and the team asked RJ to waive his no trade, he'd jump at it.
  8. As great as he is on the offensive side of the court, he's becoming a better and better defensive player. What made Jordan the greates ever was his defense could match his offense. Jordan and Pippen where more amazing night after night playing defense than offense. LJ could be the greatest ever. If he has half the Jordan touch and magic in the PR game, the NBA will be in good hands for a long time. If someone gets murdered in his house, the NBA is screwed again.

  10. Link Here Spanning the globe, and beyond, to bring Soxtalk interesting news . . .
  11. And a candidate that was equally despised by the other half.
  12. Son, you are talkin' about a proper lady from Texas
  13. I wonder how good a pilot Jenna Bush would be if we had a draft . . . No Republican wants to head back to the club and explain how he voted to draft Kyle Worthington Jr. into the Army. No company, like the military, wants people forced to work for them, especially in a dangerous job that requires commitment and trust in every person. But don't kid yourself, middle class families fear a draft more than anyone. They are stuck in the middle. Not enough clout to have their kids in the Air National Guard, but enough resources to send their kid to college and a nice safe profession.
  14. RJ wants to go to a legit, solid, no doubt about it, WS contender. He ain't coming here, and he has veto power in any trade. Move on, nothing to see here, that's not getting wrapped under this tree this year . . .
  15. OH God, that is so hot!
  16. When you are overpaying by $15,000,000 what's another million or two?
  17. You taking a shot at Eminem? Good thing CW doesn't post here anymore, he'd have your butt
  18. How much recruiting time would you spend in Winnetka, Lake Forest, etc. vs. North Chicago? How do you sell military service to a rich kid from Winnetka? Money for college? Got it.. Job training? Got it Secure Employment? Got it Health Care? Got it Patriotism? That has a shot. Remember the outpouring for Tilman? Why not the same for a poor kid from Los Fresnos, Texas? Because rich white guys with choices are the exception, not the rule. I believe the military does, and should, spend most of their time recruiting poor kids. It is the easiest, fastest, and sureist return on their time and money.
  19. Look at where they locate recruiting centers, of course more poor people are attracted to a military career, it's step up. It's a recruiting process. If you needed to recruite 500 kids from Chicago, would you spend time in Michigan Avenue mansions and private schools, or public schools? Don't fault the military for the demographics of the people that are attracted to enlisting right out of HS. A draft would be interesting. I think many a war hawk would simmer down if they thought that their kid could be serving. I wonder how good a pilot Jenna would be? There may be a lot of non minorities in the military, but look at the pictures of the deceased, there are a lot of minorities in that picture.
  20. The Norelco Bear sledding through the snow on a Norelco electric razor head sled. And the TBS 24 Hour A Christmas Story Marathon
  21. Hence my point of government subsidizing the store prices. Wal-Mart, the civilian PX There are a lot of positions in our society that do not earn what they are worth. Military and inner city teachers who make a difference come to mind.
  22. Evil mentioned the assertion by some liberals that the military only attracts poor minorities. I don't believe that is quite true, but I do believe that it attracts some people with less choices than others. Ivy League or Iraq League? Where is Sterling Jefferson III going? Assembly line or Iraq line? Where is Juan Carlos Villareal going? Wars have been fought for centuries by the less privileged in every society, not just the US. When wealth and position collide with the military, the child becomes an officer or it makes world news. BTW, a glance at the stats show that blacks only make up 10% of the officers. I believe that could partially be explained by whites staying on longer and having enlisted as officers.
  23. And one of the problems with electric cars, from an environmental impact point of view, is it only shifts the point of pollution from the car to the electric plant. There are some marginal benefits in having one place to monitor and keep clean, but still it isn't as non-polluting as some people believe.
  24. Things must have changed. A customer of mine was retired Navy procurement and was responsible for the purchases at Great Lakes for a number of years. He explained their store space was rent free, only a portion of their utilities were charged to the store, the government negotiates lower rates than most retail stores (high volume customer), and they were not under shareholder pressure for profits. I wonder how many conservatives in the military would want the store privatized and perhaps run by Wal-Mart and charging Wal-Mart prices? It makes sense to allow military families to buy for less. Or else it would be even mroe compelling to give an across the board increase in military pay to cover the higher profit margin, which would go to pay the higher salaries, and the circle continues.
