ESPN Feature on AJ
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) What legs? good point. See, they should have done that sooner. That may have turned out to be Hawk's worse plan. I'm not saying the logic wasn't conventional and plausible, but Fisk sure proved him wrong.

Healthcare reform
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) Which is what Congress is proposing. So critics of government health program reforms believe there needs to be tort reform that would stop Doctors from ordering tests to CYA. Congress is proposing just that.

Proposed bill would give president emergency control of Internet
How does one prepare for the unknown or unthinkable? That seems like the challenge that is being considered here. Imagine preparing for an atomic bomb during WW1. That seems to be the situation. My fear is they use that scenario to take away more freedoms. But, I hope the ACLU is looking into this.

Healthcare reform
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) About stopping 'runaway health care' by deciding in advance, for every patient, which tests should be run. Which is impossible and poor medicine.

FIRE WALKER
While I think the team possibly could benefit from a fresh face and approach; he certainly does not deserve the level of blame he receives here.

I honestly never disliked him, even when he was on the Twins. My favorite players are catchers. And gee, what a shocker, a sarcastic, get in your head, catcher, just might be someone I'd like.

ESPN Feature on AJ
I forgot he was so disliked. Unlike say, Rodman, where it was easy to see why he was disliked, or even dislike him while he played on your team, I find everything to like about AJ and nothing to dislike. Well, besides, as SS points out, we do not have enough of them running around.

Microsoft = Openly Racist
If only they had Adobe Photoshop, they used Microsoft Paint, no wonder it was f***ed up. With computer graphics, do we even know these were ever actual human models? I remember a documentary from twenty years ago that predicted the demise of television and movie actors as studios just used computers for everything. You want the customer to see themselves in the picture and to be sensitive to the culture of the target market. Poor execution.

"How Many?" Game
QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) 1979 through 1983 my dad usually took us to 1 game during each homestand, so that's probably 60 games or so. Before and after that we'd mae a handful of games each year, so I think the total is around 75 games. How many times do you curse out loud during the average 2009 Chicago White Sox ballgame? Less than one on average How many times have you quit a vice only to restart?
