Caught The Conspirator this afternoon. Nice movie. Since I had just finished teaching a section on the War of Northern Aggression, the one y'all call the Civil War, it was fresh in my mind that . So that might have caused some of the suspense to be lost.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) TSA security looks at people who complain about TSA security as elevated terrorist risks. Seems like a reasonable thing. If I were a terrorist, I'd be trying to get security less strict. I'd be working to discredit the government's actions and attempts at providing some security. I'd point on the superiority of the private sector firms, like Blackwater, at providing security services. Hmmm, maybe some of the people in this thread are really terrorists!

Maybe there will be a new challenge, how obnoxious do you have to be before Ranger dusts you on the air?

I believe many liberals are independent thinkers and more willing to see the other side. The GOP will call it flip flopping. The Reagan Dems would be a great example.

So far I am liking this laptop. I assume I will get accustomed to the keyboard type and layout, until then I keep making some entry errors. There is an extra column of keys to the right with shortcuts to mail, internet, calculator, etc. I keep hitting those when I want tab. It also does not have bluetooth, so I had to use a different mouse, using up a USB port.

Caulfield makes a very legit point, and there are reasons that broadcasters and media types like Hawk last forever with teams. But every once in a while, you may gain more fans with a well chosen idiot comment. I didn't here this and can't tell if it is well chosen, but from the sounds of things, it just may have been.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I don't know if it's humane or inhumane, but if it's regulated and people are slowly weaned off of it, it's not the worst idea. Quitting anything "cold turkey" can be rough on your system. This idea here is a poor one, though. There is no weaning. No lectures, just drink until you die, if that is your choice. The hospice does not give you liquor, but will lock up yours so the other alcoholics will not steal it.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) Yeah, he didn't even get on base half the time. What a bum. Clogged the bases as well. He didn't help the Sox at all the last couple years of his career.

I just realized how much Frank Thomas sucked.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) Overton Window & appeal to moderation in full effect. I'd like to know what wacko Dems are even at the "waaaay to the left" position on economics. Arch Socialist Obama is basically no further left than Eisenhower or, hell, even Nixon. I'm thinking a dozen or so of those that didn't vote for the compromise bill. Nothing specific, just figuring we won't see all the Dems voting with the non TeaGOP (TeaRep?) I like the sound of old TeaRep

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) And Im not sure how this is arguing that because everyone is doing it. Its arguing that, if the govt is allowed to perjure to convict people, than defendants should be allowed to perjure to try and beat the govt, its called fairness. Or if you are going to convict defendants for perjury, convict every officer who perjures. That was my question. It's either everyone can lie without penalty, or prosecute everyone for lying. Of the two, I'll take prosecuting everyone.

BTW after watching way too many news reports on the budget I have come to believe that the Dems have to cut more and the GOP has to tax more. The last agreement took Dems crossing over to pass because of the no votes from the Tea Party. If the Tea Party stays waaaay to the right, and a few wacko Dems stay waaaay to the left, a moderate faction of like minded middle of the roaders may get a lot done.

So people are cool with people lying under oath because other government people do or should we start prosecuting them as well? I just can't see how our system would work if people are allowed to lie without penalty. It makes trials seem like a game of balderdash or fact or crap. And I thought the 5th amendment says in a criminal trial, I thought, and I could be wrong, that Bonds did not face a criminal charge, therefore how would the 5th apply? As a society we seem really good at defending wrong. Everyone was doing it. It wasn't as bad as X. Etc.

I think it is a little too soon to be looking for a trade. I don't see any excess areas they can offer. So it would be digging one hole to fill another.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 09:44 AM) I bought my laptop at an office store too. Their regular prices suck, but their sales are great if you can find what you want. The main reason I went into OfficeMax is they were next door to Best Buy. It wasn't on display, no one could really answer any question I had, but I saw a lower model and a little sign that said upgrade to and the specs for what I was looking for. They didn't have it in stock but the other store in town did, so a quick drive and I was happy. The touch pad is a little strange, and the key board will take a little getting use to, but most of the time I will have a remote keyboard and mouse, so no big deal really.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 01:25 AM) Glad our government has nothing else better to do or spend taxpayer money on...good Lord. What happens to our legal system when we stop prosecuting people who lie under oath? A high profile case is the best bang for the buck to show that lying under oath is not something you should try. Convicting some random dude doesn't garner the attention that Bonds gets. So from spending taxpayer money, it seems like a bargain.

Thank you. I bought a HP dv6 3250 i5 processor, 4G ram, 750Gb HDD, I am planning on using this configuration for a while and then probably upgrading the ram and OS. Home Premium is on it now. $649 @ OfficeMax. I was a little surprised after going in and out of six stores they had the best deal.

It really depends on how the evaluation is being used. As a fan interest thing, winning series is a fun idea. As a tool to judge how the team is doing overall, or what changes may be necessary, than it is kind of a poor yardstick. But, as I was typing this I began to think, what does a team have to do in October? Practicing that may not be as crazy after all.

We have spent money on these worthwhile programs to the tune of $50,000 for every person in America. What do countries do that can't afford them? If the goal is to reduce taxes and allow private citizens to decide to support programs like Planned Parenthood and private business to study how to widen a port, than I am really cool with that.
