Kerry would nominate McCain as SECDEF
He names a few others. McCain is a rare politician that would be equally uncomfortable in either party. He's a conservative Democrat or a Liberl Republican, either way, I would vote for him over either of our choices today. He could have been a deciding factor for either candidate if they had asked him to be veep.

My 15 minutes of Fame
Remember the first and most important rule of stadium fights. 1. Never fight "up hill" at the least get on the same level. After that and before hitting the guy, yell "f***ing 'fill in away team name here' fan" I had awesome Bulls seats in the old stadium until people actually started paying to stand. Once it got really crowed the last .1% of the fans are ass holes and they start showing up.

So they are a lot like the Palestinians.

I would love for this to be a conspiracy and later, Berg appears unharmed. I have never seen a decapitation but was surprised at the lack of blood. I also noticed the time change on the screen, and some other oddities like the orange jumpsuit. And his whole release after being detained. There seems like there should be more to this story.

Anyone here raise pigeons?
Just wondering. I am busy helping a baby pigeon recover from a fall and wonder about getting him to fly, etc. I'm guessing he is about 2-3 weeks old. Maybe 4.

Other than that, how did you enjoy the game This is an excellent time to write a letter to guest relations, and security outlining everything. Too often the correct people are not given the proper information to make the proper decisions.

Good and Bad in Iraq
I'm starting to get a :fyou them feeling which I had not had before. The prison abuse photos and assassination video is being debated on how they effect our public support of the war. Maybe that would have been a better question. I'm just having less sympathy for the Iraqis when I see the assassination and corpses being dragged through the street.

Sox post game show
Does anyone remember the stats that Ventura put up one month when he was player of the month. I think he had like 15 homeruns, batted .500 and capped the month with a homerun which may have been a walk off. I really enjoyed watching him play, but I only want him back to join Ozzies coaching staff.

Good and Bad in Iraq
We went to Iraq to help them, give them Western style democracy, find Sadaam's WMD, etc. We did not declare war on the Iraqi people. I am having a hard time keeping some sympathy for any Iraqi people after seeing the gruesome photos of the assasination of Berg.

Islamic Web Site Shows Beheading Of American
FlaSoxxJim, Excellent points one and all. Of course our view of the world is the only right one and we must kill anyone who disagrees with that. Once the rest of the world understands that we will not have these problems. Fan, why were these pictures and videos shown? Because we can. We offer that freedom and question other countries who wonder, as you, if we have too much freedom. I do not want that treatment for American servicemen and women and believe we have to stop it when ever and where ever we see it. That begins at home. When we administer capital punishment in the US, we prefer firing squads, hangings, lethal ejections, and the electric chair. France used a guillotine, the Iraqi's used a sword. Who is to say which is most humane? The US has capital punishment, we execute foreigners who commit crimes in the US. We've even had various standards of crimes that allow for the ultimate punishment. Kill me and you may get 20 years, kill a cop and be electrocuted. Is my life wrth less? Many people claim capital punishments should be aired in the US to deter crime. The Iraqi's have shown us what that looks like.

Wednesday's Jokes
A young man walked into a jeweler's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady on his side. "I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend" he said. The jeweler looks through his stock, and takes out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000. "I don't think you understand ... I want something very unique", he said. At that, the jeweler went and fetched his special stock from the safe. "Here's one stunning ring at $40,000." The girls' eyes sparkled, and the young man said that he would take it. "How are you paying?" I'll pay by check, but of course the bank would want to make sure that everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank tomorrow. Then I'll fetch the ring on Monday". Monday morning a very pissed off jeweler phones the man. " You bastard, You lied there's no money in that account" "I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?"

Again, I've always like Jay. I thought last year, that dispite his .500 record, that Colon was the guy I wanted pitching in a big game. I do not have the same feeling about any of our starters. I suspect that JR and KW will make some moves in June/July. I am hoping that part of the slow offseason was keeping some payroll flexibility to fill holes as they come up.

Minnesota Twins
Minnesota is a large market like New York and Boston and can afford players. When you're team is in a small town like Chicago, you cannot. Maybe if another couple million people moed to Chicago and a few went to Sox games we could add $10,000 or $20,000 to the payroll.
