QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) Must have missed it -- what senate thing? The Senator from Illinois resigned to pursue a Federal job, it was in all the papers Blago needs to name a replacement.

I'm wondering what changes he makes in the format and style. I don't think the same old stuff will work unless they are banking his audience is going to bed earlier and would prefer to catch his show before the 10:00 News.

Bummer. I always liked him. He's the anti-Javy

Remember Letterman was f***ed over when the show went to Leno. He switched networks. We'll see what Conan does.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:39 AM) Obama better not pardon him when he winds up in the slammer either... Obama owes him nothing. You never know what favors came early. IIRC the Feds rarely slip up at this level.

It seems giving the banks money to lend, without any checks and balances, may be a mistake. While they were too loose, totally pulling to the other side isn't what the government desired in this bailout. It seemed it was in part to prevent widespread unemployment. So far, all it seems that has been accomplished is a cool party for the execs and preserved their bonuses. At the minimum, this is not good PR. Maybe the automakers will do better with their tax payer bailout.

It's home. Why did Cosby's kid live in L.A.? Why did JFK go to Dallas? The US is pretty damn violent also, yet we still live here.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:30 PM) But from what I understand of it all, Gary would probably say "when Hell freezes over I might consider teaming up with that guy again". From what I always heard, Gary never really liked Dahl. With as much silence as there was on Steve's show, I would bet the only way anybody actually noticed his being gone was that there were voices on the radio during his time slot. I thought Gary had stopped by a while ago and did part of a remote show with Dahl. The major rift was Gary wanted his personal life to stay personal and Dahl blew off Gary's wedding, then made fun of it while Gary was on his honeymoon. Last I heard Gary's real estate career was pretty solid and more of a normal life than what radio could offer. One of the unusual glitches with their prior relationship was Dahl paid Gary directly, not the station. There may have been some friction from that as well.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) If you think your marriage to your wife would have no meaning because homosexuals were now allowed to marry, then your marriage already has no meaning. EDIT: That was harsh, but seriously, how does anyone else getting married effect your own marriage? If suddenly they issued college degrees to everyone, wouldn't it deflate the meaning of a college degree? Now he wouldn't have a marriage to prove he isn't gay.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home So we sent them $15,000,000,000.00 what did we buy again?

The Big 12 South is the thing here and I see and hear more from these teams than any other. The consensus down here is TT was the third best of the three. They were also probably a top 5 of 6 team in the nation. If those teams all played in different conferences, they would all have been odds on favorites to win any conference in America. Exciting and aggravating. In basketballl they all might have been in different brackets.

Just an aside. If we continue to bail out industries, but it does not result in saving employment, have we spent that money wisely?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) yea but it could be a big boost to the divorce lawyer industry if everyone gets divorced because of gay marriage. It would be a big boost because there would be even more marriages that will need to be ended.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) The Veterans Committee sucks anyway. If you can't get in on your first 15 tries, you don't deserve to get in. Are you suggesting that baseball writers are better, more knowledgeable, voters than the guys who are already in the Hall? I don't necessarily disagree, but I think having those two groups is a nice check and balance. I also like that the final gatekeepers are players.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) Not at all. I'm merely talking about how I would cast my hypothetical vote. If I saw somebody as a 50/50 case, I would vote "No." What would you standard be?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Are you suggesting a Hall of Fame should designate less than "the greatest of players"? Sort of a "Hall of Pretty Good for Their Time?" Yes, the HOF is a museum, and yes, it celebrates the history of the game; but it also celebrates much more than just that. Specifically, with respect to individual player enshrinement, I believe it not only celebrates, but separates and honors, the best of the best. The most traditional way of gauging that has always been statistics, but not always. Human voters can weigh and assess intangbiles in a way computers can not. Have some inductees been less than "the best of the best?" Unquestionably. Does that mean we should gauge everyone's admission by that lowest common denominator? I think not. I'm not sure I get your other point. I happen to think "The Godfather" surpassed "Citizen Kane" as a film, but that doesn't diminish my admiration for "Citizen Kane" on its own merits, or warrant Kane's removal from any pantheon of cinema. Pick a number for the "best of the best". It's a moving target. As it is, the list continually increases. With players constantly surpassing the achievements of players, if we truly want the "best of the best" shouldn't some players be removed as other pass them in stats? Perhaps there should be a shrine to the greatest 25 players of all time that changes with time, then the rest of the Hall. Would your visit to the HoF be ruined because Baines or Santo were included?

I wonder when newspaper publishers will be plying private jets to Washington to talk about a bailout I was only paying half attention, I thought it was still in the rumors stage and yet to be officially announced.
