rats, slow again

Que sera sera

It was one of the few times I was kind of star struck, thinking I was meeting living history in the first person.

When was the last time America tackled a project as big as health care reforms?

There has always been really stupid TV, we just seem to have taken it to new depths. Last week, NatGeo had a program on the tiger escape from the SF Zoo. Great stuff. I love it when I learn something new.

This will be the most exciting finish of the past twenty years. With so many slumping, they are all going to turn it on and catch the Tigers in the second to last game. Then lose in the first round while getting swept.

Overall, once the season is over, and I do not believe this one is, you cut back, not shut down. Pull the starters a little quicker, add a few extra days of rest for the older guys, stuff like that. Getting Peavy a few starts is a nice head start for next year or hopefully a playoff boost.

I have debated here for years that the government deficits are our greatest long term threat, that much like Russia, we will borrow ourselves into extinction. And many people here have explained why we need to cut taxes and increase the deficit during these tough economic times. /popping some corn

From the 1950s to 2009, Kennedy was involved in an amazing era in our history.

Amazing life. Ring side seat to some of the most dramatic times in our history. I had the pleasure of seeing him in person last year when he was campaigning for Obama.

Seriously, he likes the Sox, and I'm glad he doesn't put on a different uniform for every city (or stadium in some cases) he's in. At least he's consistent about that. /Trolling and smart ass comment II And we all know how important it is to be consistent

libraries are cool places to kill time

Jumpin' Jimminy it's after 5:00

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) (Marxist) hope and change. I kid, I kid. I do think that "soundbyte" dilemmas are a lot more prevalent now then ever before because most Americans don't have a clue how to think critically anymore. Additionally, we are hit with the soundbite at a dizzying rate and from so many different directions. We'll watch the same news feed for hours with 90% of the information looping. That ingrains it into our subconscious and free from any critical thinking.

That would be an interesting development for the Bears.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) No one is getting thrown under the bus with $60 million or so left on their deal. That was a poor example, I couldn't think of a better one to illustrate my point. But I see ptac came through, saying it better than I could.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) Even Wilson Betemit? I'd rather have seen him being considered for MVP. I always want to see the guys wearing the uniform succeed, and can't be happy when they fail. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) If a guy sucks, has sucked for the last three years, then i don't give a damn what he did in 2005. It has no bearing on the present. I want to win now, i want to experience 2005 AGAIN, that's not going to happy if we keep running a "good feelings tour" out their. Nor will the long term be good if players rush rehab to help out now, and have it blow up in their face. I believe it was Ventura who worked his ass off to get back only to have the Sox toss in the white towel. Perhaps if I was Peavy, I'd be looking at Contreras being released and thinking, I better be very certain I am ready to start or they may throw me under the bus. And both ideals can be achieved by sending him to the bullpen and allowing him to finish out the contract.

However, even without rum, Lovie was hot

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) There is so a combination joke here that will wind this up in the Filibuster so fast... awesome catch!

But when it is the car dealer offering $4,500 incentives to buyers, we yawn and walk away. Perhaps we found something the government is better at than private industry

Storm waves are amazing to watch. Fortunately here there are no cliffs, just a long gradual slope to the water. RIP and prayuers to the parents who will probably blame themselves forever.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Because it comes out of their pockets and not the governments and therefore isn't advertised as heavily. I wonder if there was a net decrease in the prices consumers paid compared to a year ago or what not. No need for dealer or company incentives, so they made more, but I wonder if consumers actually paid less.
