Imagine if China decided we were oppressed by an evil government and decided to "set us free". Would we be singing songs of thanks? I wonder if more average Iraqis died in our liberation than would have died if Saddam had stayed in power.
Still we can sleep better knowing we neutralized all threats from Iraq.
So many kids, barely out of high school. I kept clicking and it seemed 1/2 the people killed were under 22 years of age. And it is almost surreal when you see all the non combat accidents like struck by truck while changing a tire, or other vehicle accidents.
I thank God we have men and women that understand the dangers and continue to enlist.
Assuming everyone is healthy, I went with the A's. I would have placed the Cubs 2nd, then the Astros.
A lot will depend on how Clemens is scheduled this season. I have heard rumours he will miss a couple road trips and may miss a few starts. If that is the case that moves them below the Cubs. If he pitches as well as he did last year, they are at least equal to the Cubs, if not a bit better.
Still I think the A's top 3 are the best in baseball.
BTW, I place Zambrano (spelling?) ahead of Maddux in the Cubs rotation. I feel Maddux is a 10-12 game winner this year.
If you set up a rape fantasy and then decide no when the guy comes through the door, is it still rape? Hoe does the guy know if you are just playing along?
OK the season is about the start. Let's all drink our Sox kool aide.
I like JR, KW, the entire organization, the Cell is beautiful, Ticket and concession prices are fair, I love the style of ball we are playing, yada yada yada
I like the one were Frank Thomas pretends to be a real team player for a couple weeks, talks about moving to the 4 spot to "help the team" smiles a lot, etc.
He is still too controversial. I could see Kerry floating a Mrs. Clinton rumour. Kerry needs left leaning GOPers to support his campaign. He will not get that by standing too close to Mr. Clinton.
I could see Kerry using BC as a kind of "Super Ambassador" in key hot spots around the world. It would preserve Clinton's Presidential aire. Dropping down to SoS would take away from the Presidential mystique.
Instead of discussing the 2 kids your are thinking of adopting, could we discuss your plans to reproduce? I'm not so sure I'm in favor of *you* reproducing. Perhaps Misssox4Life could find an alternate donor?
