Quit lying... oh wait, Barackus Droids don't realize that it's all been a big lie from the beginning anyway. Are you saying staying at the same level as before the Bush cuts or after the Bush era cuts? And speaking of Barakus Droids, is that a new phrase that "Dittoheads" are suppose to use or something you made up?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) Abolish it all... because your side already has. If the Constitution has issues and needs to be modified, there's mechanisms in place to do so. No one cares anymore that there is a legitimate process to change it... so it is "morphed" into whatever you want it to be? Messed up. Do you mean the Patriot Act? That was not exactly a liberal policy. Do you mean rendering a free press worthless? That would be conservatives trying that one. Do you mean trying to take away the role of judges as defined by the constitution? That would be the GOP as well.

Too bad they couldn't get that catcher the Rangers signed . . . He would have made a nice veteran backup to Flowers. Maybe next season. Every time I read the topic title I keep thinking, hey guys, bats are not like gloves or They won't need too many LH bats. About 90% of the team uses RH bats.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 02:45 AM) Guys I saw play: Thomas, Baines, Fisk, Buehrle Leaving Baines off was tough for me. I think I was kind of choosing a representative from the pre 1970s.

Gee, it was so popular before.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 06:04 AM) I am not sure if this is the kind of discussion you meant, but I believe the Constitution is a living and breathing document and should be interpreted as such. The Framers of the Constitution could not have possibly imagined what society would look like today and interpreting the Constitution with a strictly originalist view is, to me, kind of asinine. Perhaps on some issues, looking at the Framers' intent is helpful to discern underlying values in the our society at the time, but to use 18th values in shaping the fabric of society in 21st Century America just doesn't make much sense to me. ^^ ^^ Saved me from typing it.

I'd have Fisk, Buehrle, Appling, and Thomas

For a compromise to work in the best interest of our country, it probably will not be one that either party can call a win. It would be so nice, that instead of headlines saying someone caved in, lost, etc. that we applauded their meager efforts to find a compromise.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) If you're in the business of selling dangerous weapons and you can't secure them, then too bad if you get penalized. People's lives are at stake. I doubt those who'd risk stealing guns are stealing them to protect their chicken coop. Would you arrest the bank president if the bank gets robbed? I believe there should be minimum security standards and reporting that should be required and a failure to conform would results in fines and/or jail time. But to arrest victims of crimes doesn't make sense. The laws should include what the dealer has control over, they have no control over criminals.

Isn't punishing someone for having something stolen punishing the victim?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Yea. Just like health care. Jam everything up our ass!! YEA! And both sides are to blame. I do believe the most vocal "no compromise" segment is the Tea Party. I hope they stick to their principles and hold out.

Yeahfor the bottom line, we'll see about the box score.

Well both my favorite players in the past ten years are gone. Thanks AJ.

I played on a travelling team and the coach was a huge Cub fan. Later he bought a bus and painted it white with blue pinstripes. Our uniforms were white with blue pin stripes. I'd have been thrilled if the Sox sponsored us instead of Lakes Bowl and Ace Hardware

QUOTE (YASNY @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 03:33 AM) Clemente was absolutely a great, great baseball player. And an awesome human being. Guys that that made baseball America's past time, cheats and liars tarnish it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) One of the best stories I've read on ESPN http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/page/Rober...to-clemente-bat I finally had a chance to read this, thanks for sharing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 01:35 PM) You fake ass Texan!!!!! For the record, I love ribs, but I prefer a good brisket. f***ing awesome. I wish I had room for a smoker and I would make those all summer long. I am driving a V-8 4x4 F-150 to the BBQ joint.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 01:21 PM) http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/suz...hamilton-136952 Interesting story about a former olympian becoming a prostitute just for the fun of it. Wow. Interesting read.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) they must not have read your posts on Soxtalk... My fiancee and I make a nice team. I fact checked dates, sequences, all the logic kind of stuff. She handled the grammar. Together we helped with some suggestions on syntax, plot elements, etc. The author is from South Padre and after a few conversations he asked if we would take on the project.

1. Place phone call to any mom and pop Texas BBQ joint 2. Hop in pick up and take out 3. While there, buy a 1/2 pound of brisket
