That's one way to use your annual allotment of 27 posts Are the Bulls still playing? Let's hope they win the lottery . . .

-4.0 -2.72 I'm over there with Ghandi, I am very comfortable with that.

It's a big year for him. Another down year and his career may never get back on track. I hope he has a good April and builds from there. We have four or five players that could post very big gains over last year; Kong is at the head of the list but Mark, Koch, Crede, and Olivo could all blow away last season. If 3 of them do, we will have a very nice season.

We need to remember that most of the price of gas we pay is taxes. In many states more than half the price at the pump is taxes for roads, etc. I heard that 10 years ago Kerry is quoted as saying he would agree to a .50 per gallon tax for road and infrastructure. The bill never came to a vote. I thought it was a little unfair to take 2004 gas prices, add .50 and say that Kerry was in favor of those prices. I am also trying to figure out what the public opinion statute of limitations should be on views. 10 years ago I was much more conservative than I am now. If someone trotted out some of my comments then, I would not agree with them. I am thinking of Pickering in that statement. We are pulling quotes from apers he did in college 40+ years ago. That seems a little excessive. ALso things I have done in one position, I might not do in another.

Traffic is whizzing by and this guy was able to run away? Without anyone seeing him?

Does that mean you don't like Madonna?

I agree with your view of the problem. However, could you imagine the gridlock trying to reach a majority in a three party system? Could you imagine the deal making to get X passed? We would be adding Y and Z to everything.

The Edinburg Roadrunners; Best team I can see live in a regular basis. UTPA Broncs; Good college team with a strong early season schedule Houston Astros; The most coverage on local tv and radio. Listening to Milo Hamilton is a but spooky. I'll admit it, if the Cubs were somehow to win a WS *after* the Sox, I would not feel too bad. If they do it first, it's a nightmare. I only developed this attitude after being 1,600 miles away and do not live, work, play, and drink around Cub fans. This statement is void north of St Louis.

It could be some of his fellow patients at the mental health facility where he resides. I am certain his close personal friends Frank Thomas, Eddie Einhorn, and JR will ride to his rescue

Just kidding

I heard this and read the article what doesn't make sense is what the other guy in the accident did when this guy disappeared.

Nobody is goin' to school today . . .

f*** a "successful" Sox season, that's Reinsdork speak for making money. Here's to a WS Title

Thanx, I missed it.

I think it has gone downhill a bit in the past year. It is streamlined and not nearly as much content as there use to be. Stilll, some wicked stuff

Looking at flip flops on issues, isn't that inherit with liberals and maybe not a negative thing. Conservatives tend to want things to stay the same, hold traditional values and ideals. Liberals will want to tinker, try new things, never satisfied with the current, but looking for ways to make it better. In a changing world, we need both.

I here that most of the guys are teases and won't let you get past second base, at least not on the first date. Maybe we could ask Steff

Rules for a Gunfight Anonymous 1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap - life is expensive. 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly. 5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.) 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun. 7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket." 10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. 11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 12. Have a plan. 13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work. 14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 16. Don't drop your guard. 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.) 19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet. 22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than "4". 25. You can't miss fast enough to win. With love and respect buddy

When he said he picked up a Clash CD I hoped it was London Calling, I have the lp here somewhere. Instead he picked up a greatest hits thing. Not bad, but acks the story telling of the originals Still, I think it is so cool when they are getting into my music. Last year they were all rocking to Queen. I was trying to find some Boomtown Rats for him to here. I know I have it around here somewhere.

I like the idea, except the projections on what the tax rate would be. It would also be problematic for the border. Currently we pay zero sales tax in Mexico. When the Peso is weak we really have a field day. With a sales tax rate of 25-30%, people would really be fleeing to Mexico and the Mexicans who dislike the hassle of applying for a tax credit on their purchases will stop coming over to the US. Just some small issues to work out.
