My head is hurting. If the Giants sweep, the Astros win the wildcard and the LA/SF loser is out? Edit: I forgot, it could be the Cubs :fthecubs

I'm waiting for someone to develop a "quality strikeout" stat. I believe Jose would "lead" that category. For example strikeouts with men in scoring position. Strikeouts to end a inning. Strikeouts on out of the strikezone sliders away.

The story from the Bush camp is Kerry in previous debates would go over the alloted time over and over again. The candidates agreed to the timer lights, then Kerry flip flopped on the lights and tried getting them removed. I am beginning to think that somewhere in America someone switches to Bounty laundry detergent and a ripple starts that results in who we elect as president.

Not necessarily. There is a time/benefit analysis that will happen. Delaying a driver :30 to save $2 isn't a smart move for most freight companies.

I'm interested in your view because I like you Well if it worked before, let's do it again, this time even bigger and better. The economic recovery is a false one IMHO. Eventually we will have to face the deficits and pay them back. Just like heading out this weekend and maxing out a couple credit cards will increase the economy for those stores that you spent the money at and makes you feel better about the stuff. Sooner ot later the bill comes due. I cannot believe I am saying this but I respect a tax and spend politician over a spend and refund politician. I always felt the GOP was smarter and stronger by fighting for balanced budgets. Now they love to give us stuff and tell us someone else will pay for it.

Actually IIRC both candidates wanted the cameras turned off on them while the other was speaking, but the networks refused. I am not certain which I prefer. Occassionaly I sneaked a peak at the other candidate for some reaction, but these guys are so well trained. I see the GOP won the debate timer light rules debate. I found that distracting as well. I heard someone on hannity trying to start a controversy over it. The little stuff just annoys me.

Are you arguing that we need to actually pay for this stuff?? Would you repeal the GOP tax cuts to help pay for the war? And like a zillion candidates before him, he will promise to eliminate pork projects. :headshake

Think of it this way you tax dollars are supporting the police that patrol the toll roads and pay for the surface roads they get off on.

I remember Jim mentioning some species use these types of events to extend their range. I believe coral was one example. They can move great distance by getting caught up in a hurricane.

From growth in the economy, where all the money comes from. I learned this from the GOP. Deficits are good. See the military always buys American. American business owners will make more money, hire more people who are no unemployed who will pay taxes. See it's the unemployed people today who will pay for it. How is Bush paying for it now? He CUT taxes remember?

I believe he mentined two more division for the rest of the world, not Iraq and increasing the special forces. I strongly agree with the special forces. We cannot fight terrorists with conventional tactics. I found the camera angles a bit annoying. I know they needed to compensate for the height difference but in the side by side Bush's podium was higher than kerry's and it began to look like Bush was at too high a table, like a little kid. I hope they correct it before debate 2.

If the Giants and Astros both sweep the Giants would be tied for both the NL West and the Wildcard. I wonder what the tie break procedure is? Giants vs. LA with the loser playing the Astros for the final spot?

Of course if you emass enough micro-give-a-s***s, they become 1 give-a-s*** I'm with you. I couldn't care less. I never thought of sex as a spectator sport . . .

YASNY I believe the video was found and was shown after Bush had left the school. All the networks were scrambling to see if anyone had footage. It wasn't like they had cameras pointed at the Towers when it happened. There was even some on air comments wondering if anyone had footage. There was a timeline prepared by the 9/11 Commission that showed that.

Yes it does. But he's not a puppet. He's the brave leader of his nation.

Could you discuss the short, medium, and long term impact this hurricane season will have on Florida and the coastal areas? I've been looking for the environmental forcast but it seems the media is only interested in finding food and water

Calling all Angels . . . Sad thing is the loser would kick the Twins ass.

You have to love the matching outfits. Sucks when the ladies are both using the same political advisor.

I thought they were going to kiss right there on stage. Kind of a Madonna, Britney thing.

Speaking of declines, thank God we got rid of the tub of goo Colon.

BY the end of today, with 24 hours of non stop GOP cheerleading on all their radio shows, Bush will have won this debate in a landslide. I cannot wait to hear just how much cheerleading rush and hannity will do. I'd be surprised if they don't wear the skirts and pompoms.

I was shocked at how tired President George W. Bush looked. At times his pauses and struggles to find the right words were concerning. I think his campaign made a mistake by giving him a full schedule the day of the debate. The photo ops with hurricane victims were mostly negated by the debate. I am still leaning towards the President but Kerry moved up a couple notches with me last night.

No need to even use a sniping program. Decide how much yoiu are willing to spend and enter that. Ebay's proxy bidding process will take care of the rest. If you are only will to pay $100 and someone else is willing to pay $110 it doesn't matter when your bid comes in. With so many bidders using proxy software all it has done is compressed eBays proxy type process into the final minute. As a seller, never close an auction early, even if the buyer is offering what seems like a great deal to close early.
