  1. Wouldn't allowing unlimited contributions help the economy? Let's allow as much spending as a candidate can raise. That's an economic stimulus.
  2. A certain sign that the season is over for both teams, I can't get excited after getting crushed by the Twins in so many series that actually mattered.
  3. Blessed Texas with his own hand, God did.
  4. It may have been as simple as moving them from one location to another. I was reading an article a few years back comparing moving troops to anyone's daily commute and how odds are, people will die. Just like next week in Chicago there will probably be a fatal car accident on someone's daily commute.
  5. Zoom Zoom, I love those commercials
  6. We know they all (will) do it. Linked Free speech ain't free.
  7. Just wondering why this was in the filibuster?
  8. QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) .I always thought the guy was dead for the past 6-7-8 years anyway. That would mean that Bush passed on a chance to fake the death leaving the opportunity for Obama. I'm not believing that.
  9. QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 04:38 AM) I would overpay Mark Buehrle. I agree 100%, plus I believe he earned and would continue to earn the type of contract that some would call overpaying.
  10. How much of the job of front office, coaches, and managers is motivating players to be successful? Of course he shouldn't need outside motivation, but in reality everyone does at times. Someone has to find a way into his head and turn this around. It would seem like AJ/PK should be in this guy's face.
  11. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 04:30 AM) Am I the only guy who would like to see LaRussa back in town?The dude's a douche but he's also a proven winner. I don't mind assholes as long as they get the job done. Douchebag winner>>>Classy loser Add me to the list.
  12. Hey Jr. we would apologize for the anti-homosexual stuff on here, but they are mostly quotes from your dad.
  13. If Jr. stopped in the filibuster there are plenty of anti Mexican comments in regards to immigration.
  14. I've read the Constitution, I've read quite a bit of the history that surrounded the writing of the Constitution. IMHO the writers were mostly protecting religion from the government *not* protecting the government from religion. Many of the soon to be states were founded by religious groups leaving oppressive countries for then freedom of the new world. Others were started to earn a profit for the investors who for the most part had little interest in religion. I believe the protections were placed in the Constitution like many things our government does, as part of a compromise.
  15. You will never have a job where everything is 100% perfect, especially when there are limits on where you can work.
  16. Kind of what I first thought. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) Can't really argue with it. I really wonder if the only reason he is in there now is to try to facilitate a waiver deal where we pick up a bad contract in return?
  17. Hey Mark, welcome to soxtalk, I like your first post :-) QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) She doesn't look bad at all.
  18. He has been in worse spots before and has never, *never* lost an election.
  19. Thank you for posting the link. Great read. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) Pretty awesome read on how the whole operation went down. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08...a_fact_schmidle
  20. I sometime confuse his tweets with friends of mine. They don't seem manufactured by some publicity agent.
  21. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) Ironically every other coffee place serves it in the same temperature range. Wrong
  22. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 09:45 AM) AH jeez, I bet it was McDonald's fault when that dumbass lady burned herself with hot coffee. Sometimes stupidity is at fault. FYI McDonalds served their coffee much hotter than industry recommendations and hotter than competitors, McDonalds had had over 700 complaints about the temperature of their coffee and had settled many cases resulting from injuries to their too hot coffee. The lady involved asked for her current and future medical bills covered ($18,000) McDonalds refused. She THEN hired an attorney, who asked for $90,000, which McD refused. McD ultimately paid somewhere around $500,000. If you go to a faucet and turn on the hot water and it is set to scald you in 3 seconds are you a dumbass because the faucet said hot, or is the company at fault for setting a temperature way higher than accepted or usual? How would you feel after learning 700 people were injured from that faucet, and they settled those cases? I am certain the railing will be raised, if nothing else, because attendance may suffer. When I sat in the front row of the Cell's UD, it took me three or four innings to be comfortable, there is no way I would have even stood to catch a ball.
