If your family dies in a house fire, and I was running for fire chief, would you mind if I showed your house going up in flames and your family dying inside? "Sorry buddy, I know losing your wife and kids was rough, watching them die and all, but I did a damn fine job afterwards and I want everyone to know." Gross. He is using a national tradegy to get re-elected. He is trying to confuse the spontanious outpouring of national pride and sympathy as something he did. Do you believe we wouldn't have put up flags, held prayer services, and other memorials if someone else was president? Are Americans so stupid they needed W to tell us how to react? Do not use a national trategy for personal gain.

I invite you to explain how cutting taxes and increasing spending helps. So far no one has been able to explain how cutting taxes increases money going to Washington. I am certain it helped Bush raise $170,000,000 so far for his campaign.

I want to party at Steff's house

And don't forget Koch became a feared closer (by fans not hitters), Kong continued his torrid (or is that horrid) hitting. We are so much better this year than last.

I'd go with Ringo, what's the line? While we are on the sick subject, I use to participate in a death pool. Scoring was simple 100 less the persons age. Pick any 25 celebrities. We had a couple definitions on celebrity and you couldn't be famous because you were going to die, (death row inmates, etc.)

Welcome to the board. Screww MLB and all the otehr ways. Join us for gamethreads. We'll have a couple people with TVs and they'll keep us informed.

I guess my opinion doesn't matter just yet because I can not vote, but I would vote for Bush in this election. And the reply from cwsox . . . Your opinion does count, very much. But consider that God did not allow you to be old enough to vote in this election for God's own reasons....

Hell, I'll take our lineup over the Yankees, Red Sox, A's, Angels, Astros, Cubs, anyday of the week. No talent? Why we have what's his name at 2nd and what's his name at center, and what's his name will be leading off, and the thrilling competition for our 5th starter spot.

Yeah how could they possibly think a commercial featuring a future HoF pitcher would be better than one featuring the Sox biggest off season aquisition - the nice new leather chair for JR. I'm sorry, Uribe couldn't be a spokesperson for Checker taxis. Maybe Zero? It's a Cubs town and after this season, we'll be lucky if we get coverage on page 14 of the sports section. It's a nightmare I tell you.

Rest of the story

Yeah, do we want players that won't help teammates commit adultry while on the road? Where is the team spirit in that? Willie dude if we loose some games because a starter can't release some tension with a crack whore on the road I'm gonna be pissed. . .

dude but if you dont pay $500 for 7 games, Kenny Williams wont be able to pick up any players after the allstar break the responsibility of the Sox winning is completely based on fan support, not management or players My edit. You think this is bad, wait until they actually win something. The Bulls use to kiss my ass every year when I renewed. Then they drafted this guard from SC and soon it was ram another price increase. First they cut the discounts then price jumps each season. Then with the enw stadium my center court became off in a corner.

It's a very short story . . .

I guess you solved the mouse problem, that bad ass pussy must kick every mouses butt . . .

I'd be surprised if CW said only W flip flops, It is a family trait

I don't think you will need an equation. If 1,000,000 are standing around and person one starts with $100, sends 20% to Washington and hands the rest to person #2 you will have $80. At the end of 1,000,000 exchanges, you are still dividing the same $100. If we begin to say that someone will pay more for something because they are keeping more of their earning, that seems inflationary. I am not claiming that decreased spending - and - decreased taxes might not have a better impact on the average American. But what I've seen is decreased taxes and increased spending. I keep hearing how Reagan only spent all that money because he needed to get things past a dem congress. The fact of the matter is, the money was borrowed and spent. That to me is a fraud.

New York Times in their endorsement of John Kerry for President?

I went 1000 levels and it never reach 100% it was 99.9877 returned. It can never go over $100 unless someone is adding into the original $100. If you start with $100 you will end with $100 no matter how many time you divide it up.

Again, I am not conceeding that government waste is anywhere near that high. What waste I've seen is brought on by excessive laws regarding specifications, the biggest one is buy American. So if we are that ineffective, we need to push our elected officials to improve. However, for the sake of debate I will agree. I then ask isn't it true that the company that is making more profit can pay their people better and those people will spend more at the local restaurant? I thought we were trying to get money into peoples hands? If the owner of the hammer company that is supplying to Home Depot is squeezed for profits how does he expand? And wouldn't there be a bigger risk of him building the hammer in China? At least with the US Government buying the hammer we know it is Americans that will be employed. Or is that even a factor in thuis model?

Thank you, we are getting closer. And thank you for taking us one step at time. I built a quick spread sheet. Starting with $100 and using an 20% tax rate and $0 into savings at the 27th level 99% of the money is returned. So I will conceed that we may approach a 100% payback. (I won't bring up interest) But how does $100 less to Washington ever add up to $101 later being returned? In other words how can the GOP say if we cut taxes $X dollars we will get something like $X+ back?

mreye, where did the $20,000 to pay that new employee come from? If it was my $1000 plus 19 other taxpayer's $1000 we just took $20,000 out of taxes and this person will only pay $4,000. Sounds like a $16000 loss in revenue. SS2k4 yes, please please explain how it multiplys. If a government worker cashes her paycheck and goes to the grocery store, does it have less of an impact than if you or I cash our paychecks and go to the grocery store? If the government builds a new building how does it have less of an impact than if you or I build a new building? I am not necessarily conceeding the point that the government is less wastefull than say a private company like Enron or K-Mart. But for the sake of debate, let's assume they are. If spendable income sparks the economy then wouldn't a company that is making 15% from a government job hire more people than someone who is making 10% from a private sector job? Wouldn't they pay their workers more money, so they could buy more stuff and return more money to Washington?
