Happy Anniversary of your birth!

Snow and cold weather make large scale cash crops difficult. Sunshine is great for growing cotton. Once the gin was invented, large scale plantations were very profitable. So yeah, winter and slavery do have something in common

When there is an obviously flawed candidate, the word gets out enough that voters know. In races where there are two equal choices, and the difference is philosophical in nature, random selection isn't all that bad of a way to chose.

I prefer a system than allows more candidates than less. More voters, than less. So if we are to make an error, giving the most people the most choices seems to be the error I would make. The inverse, fewer voters, chosing from few candidates, just doesn't seem as good to me. If you are going to make decision based on popular vote, than you need to trust, and be willing to follow, that vote.

Quickly the differences between north and south appear.

Overall it has been a nice winter.

From an out of town perspective, he's a Chicago guy. Too bad the law has to somehow cover every situation that may occur.

f***ing Bears

Well this has sucked so far.

You have to be saying f*** that first half

In fact, I would be more likely to believe his uncertainty is a strong hint that he will continue to give 100%. He could be, but I don't think he is, thinking I'll sign another nice contract, and just kind of slack off, not get in as solid shape, etc. It seems more likely he is thinking about everything he has to do to get an aging body ready to pitch and wants to be certain he is willing to do that.

If the manager tosses him the ball, he's going to pitch and give 100%. I can't think of anything I've seen from him during his career that would make me think otherwise.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) Oney's girl did it so it's not a knock on Ozzie? Sure. Oney's "girl" is just following suit. Most people would never throw a brick through a store window and then come running out with a new TV, but when they see the rest of the city doing it suddenly there's no issue anymore. Same thing. Ozzie's lack of parental action has created a playground atmosphere for the Guillen family and all the little hangers-on that follow it. The punishment for Oney and his "girl" is probably to sit out of the kickball game at recess. I'm tired of hearing this "he's responsible for his own life" stuff. Does anyone actually believe that? If your father or son had such an extremely prestigious and lucrative position would you really be so careless as to act like that, knowing it could be to his own detriment? And even if you didn't think of that at first, and you acted like an idiot and got your son/father in trouble, and then were told afterwards that you f***ed up big time and could have cost that person dearly, would you show up *again* and repeat the process? Clearly Ozzie's job is to take charge here. If this were Jay Marriotti saying these things you can bet your ass Ozzie would be all over him, but he's not, he's his little b**** son, so he lets it slide. Ozzie is the one with the power here, and if he wants to have Oney banned from the building because Oney needs to be banned from the building, then security will be happy to help. If Ozzie wants to have Oney stop running his little b**** mouth on Twitter then he can take away his allowance, his car, his cell, everything. But Ozzie doesn't care enough apparently. This is really getting annoying. It's not even ST yet and we've already had two Oney dramas ruining s***. This ^

Perhaps they can negotiate when there will be applause and by whom.

If only the shooter had been aborted.

I am not surprised.

2/$18 or so would be fine by me.

Fun day planned. Soccer game, working with some Boy Scouts, dinner and drinks with the gf

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) why, it's a funny story about a college kid suing an escort service in Las Vegas. I wonder if he can get class action status and how many guys would file a claim

X (Is there really much more to say for X?)

Do the directTv with me and I'll even kick back some of the $100 I get, unlike Chisoxfn

Any deals out there, or does everyone pretty much sell it at the same price? I'm thinking of getting the fitness package. My school district blocks any search with Wii, etc. in the query.

The Uniter. Not left, Not right.
