I forget which Baldwin brother is this? Isn't he the one that was in Virus? Damn I can never get them straight. Good for James. I always liked the way he went about his business.

Mine sucked. Sewer backup at the house, couldn't get a plumber out until this morning. Sox swept; my PTCs didn't play 2/3 games Mother's Day gift didn't arrive in time Lawn Mower broke But I am certain others had better weekends. And if you had a so so weekend, doesn't it sound better than mine?

I guess if kids spend too much time playing video games they can't figure out oral sex for themselves? We need a government program? How about a list of ways the government could promote oral sex. 1. A commemorative postage stamp 2. Elect a President that enjoys, (oops, that's already been done)

Damn, I had Sheila as my PTC

PA? Do you have the legs for a skirt?

Link I couldn't make this up. More at the link.

Nice pic of McCain. He's smiling because he figures to be the GOP nominee as soon as this prisoner abuse debacle destroys a Presidency.

Cub game Each and every time. Unless they lose in the ninth blowing a big lead

Jump in anytime. The more the merrier. When we as citizens begin making excuses for "our party" and try and place blame for "the other party" we are forgetting that we are all Americans and we need to demand that all of our elected officials act. Nuke's President, and mine, President Clinton could have had him. Clinton decided against breaking International and US law. Perhaps Bush would have broken the law. Certainly Reagan did with the Contras.

The Astros are my #2 team, mostly because I can get their games on TV. He's a certain HoF and a great club house guy.

May 4 Archive Freedom of speech is seldom free. Sometimes we fret here that someone might not like what we have to say. Others believe killing someone who makes statements we disagree with is ok.

Remember Gulf War 1? Iraqi soldiers were defecting, tossing down their weapons, and begging US Soldiers to capture them. Do you think after the world sees how we treated these POW, enemy soldiers will be as eager to throw down their weapons? These handfull of soldiers just increased the risk to every US soldier.

Evidence? Where you replying to a different post? I said no legal way to hold him. You are correct, there was plenty of circumstantial evidence that he was involved in illegal ativities. Hindsighttells us we should have arrest Booth, Spec, Dahlmer, Oswald, etc. Now look up jurisdiction and international law. Our government looked for ways to legally, constitutionally, and within International Law and failed to find a way to arrest him. All indications are our government knew he was dangerous and wanted to hold him. We cannot arrest and try cases in foregn lands. And that was our government, or do you think Cinton kept this a secret from everyone and acted alone? Again I ask you. Where were the rest of our government officials in calling for Bin Laden's arrest? Hint: They were either trying to impeach the guy for lying under oath, or they were trying to tell you why he shouldn't be impeached. Who has Bush arrested that may plan something in 2007? Who should be arrested right now? If we are going to play the Presidential blame game, since Bush knew what a scum bag threat Bin Laden was when he took office, why didn't he do something? Nuke, keep looking for simple answers. BTW, does every US soldier have to swear to uphold the GOP as well as the constitution?

OMG, just what this country needs, a bunch of Michiganders all happy and excited

Willllburrrr The only Sox pitcher to inspire a poem

I've never heard that before either. Sounds like someone on BBT wants to coin a word. I do kind of like it.

Now that's how to work out of a jam. Damn you should give lessons to our pitchers

Which will probably be cwsox who quietly passed over the 10,000 mark last week. CW needs a better agent

NUKE! Just like I imagine him, right down to the US flag. I was hoping the flag would be a tat.

Nuke, Does this make sense. We want to save you from Sadaam and his torture, and evil ways. So WE are going to torture you. Isn't that better We go in because they have WMD. Can't find the WMD Why not? Because it's a big country, they could be hid anywhere. To bad in our huge government no one thought of that before. So now we're there to liberate the Iraqi people We torture the Iraqi prisoners Oops, why are we there? Maybe no plan? Maybe we're making this up as we go? Justifying behavior by least common denomintor turns us into the lowest common denominator. Are you suggesting we can start crashing airplanes into buildings because it happened to us? We have to be the example of the behavior we talk about. We cannot say torture is bad, we need to stop it, then do it.

No, the US let Bin Laden go because there was no legal way to hold him. Do you think Clinton would have passed on an opportunity to make headlines? If you do, I think you give him too much credit. But back to my point, has Bush stopped all terrorists from anything that can happen in 2006? Has he rounded up everyone who could be a problem? Why aren't you ringing your hands over Bush Sr. not getting Sadaam? He had the chance. And Nuke, is this the my guy sucks, but yours sucked worse argument? I was very unhappy with Clinton. Because of his extra marital affairs the GOP was able to tie his hands and basically he couldn't, and by extension, we couldn't, accomplish much his last two years. And if Bin Laden was so obviously a threat why didn't the GOP Senators and Congressman make a bigger issue and demand we stop Bin Laden? They get briefings also. Where was the American public? Why wasn't there protests in the street saying we had to get him? We are playing politics with a bigger issue. How to assure US safety when most of the world wants us harmed. If you want to point out Clinton's shortcomings and problems, fire away. He's a very easy target. That doesn't make Bush better. That doesn't absolve all of our elected officials of blame for 9-11. Just like offering Rumsfeld as a sacrificial lamb absolves everyone else in the prisoner abuse.

Who has Bush stopped who may be planning a crime in 2007? Everyone I hope. Clinton's biggest fault in all this was not keeping his dick in his pants. If he went after Bin Laden all the GOP mouthpieces, lead by Rush, would have been screaming tail wagging the dog. His weakness put him in a position where he couldn't be effective.

While everyone was transfixed on southsider and Chisoxfn, the resident Pastor of Soxtalk quiety passed the 10,000 post mark. I know cw may even be embarassed at me mentioning his milestone. His passion for all thing, including the White Sox always makes for interesting discussions. On a personal note, CW has always amazed me how he remember the little things and when I've gone through a couple personal issues, his shoulder, via email, was a great comfort. CW on 10,000 great posts.
