QUOTE (juddling @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 07:12 AM) no mention of party affiliation in the few paragraphs.......that ought to get Alpha all riled up this morning!!!!! edit: gee....looking that up took a whole 30 seconds.... How am I to know which way to spin this without a party affiliation? Was his son his own man, and independent of his father, like Palin and her daughter's out of wedlock baby?? Or was this an indictment of poor parenting and a reflection on the morals of teh congressman and his party?? Without a D or R what am I to think?? /turning on the Rush Show, he'll know what I should think!

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) If Biden feels he needs to pay more taxes, there is nothing stopping him from sending in extra. Which is totally unfair, Bush couldn't just pay less taxes, he had to get congress to approve his tax cut. Then imagine what he went through to get an extra $300 in his pocket.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 08:09 AM) I'm sorry, but they ARE most certainly choking. No team has a worse record in MLB than the Twins over their last 24 games - largely against 3rd, 4th and 5th place teams, and yes, largely on the road - but even Seattle on a 7 game current losing streak is 11-13 in their last 24. The Twins are an embarrassing 8-16, and 5-10 in September. I don't care how mediocre you are, when 11-13 would have been good enough to have the division lead, YOU DID CHOKE! I have a hard time to call it choking when they are in second with a team that projected to be 3rd or 4th in the division. I understand where you are coming from, and if you want to call it choking, I can understand, but I like to put their record into some context.

QUOTE (Steff @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) There is one on 59 I'm going to try today. And I agree comfort is #1 at this point. She's only going to be wearing the thing to Jim's office and maybe a stroll around the neighborhood. You probably already figured this out, but one of the cool parenthood things is being able to do all the fun kid stuff again without being arrested, like trick or treating. And don't forget the matching costume for you And one last thing, from Robin Williams Micky Mouse to a 3 year old is a 6 foot f***ing rat. Try to imagine those costumes that are coming towards her from her perspective.

I forgot, we have to fight terrorists who are trying to take away our freedoms.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) No green needed. Reagan was the central figure in making USSRs biggest assets and income nearly worthless. It makes it seem as if he did that all by himself. That's what I always objected to. I've given Reagan plenty of props, but the single handed disintegration of the USSR is too much of a stretch.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 07:49 AM) If the government can "spy" on the private citizen to gather information about possible terrorist attacks on the nation...isn't it right to assume the opposite? Not about terrorism, but about a politician's, or in this case, potential Vice President, about their governing? Now, I don't condone either, but if the government has the right to check me out, then I have the right to check them. Just sayin'. I like it. The flaw is you would have to follow the same procedure as the government. You would need a court order. But that would be so damn cool.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) I don't condone the actions of Anonymous here, btw. Not a big fan of self-appointed vigilantes. I should add, I agree 100% with this statement. I would also like to add, not everyone is email and internet savvy. I know a lot of people that use private and personal emails at work. Unless this truly was to circumvent some law, and I doubt it, I think this is much to do about nothing.

I do not know if this was a Law and Order, ripped from the headlines or not, but they did have a plot where the police knew evidence existed but could not get a warrant. The wealthy family of the victim hired a private investigator who broke in and brought the evidence to the police. The show wasn't about if they could, but if they should use it and the ramifications of cops letting someone else do their dirty work. Again, I am only mentioning this in case it was ripped from the headlines and someone remembers the original case.

Jay does make a nice point there. Everyone is looking foolish in this. And I've met Telander a couple times. On his best day, Jay isn't close to Telander, not even close. Jay is a circus sideshow and Telander is the class act.

Talk about horrid, how many 2nd basemen are on the list?

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Those emails obtained illegally would be inadmissible, but they could take that information to obtain the emails of the other users legally, no? Rex, I'm not so certain. If you are trespassing in an abandoned building and find a murder victim, are you telling me it would be inadmissible? What if you are here illegally, can you not be a witness? I think we are confusing police from citizens. Why would we write a law that protects criminals from other criminals?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) buckle up Steff, it only gets better from here. Welcome to the absurdity of parenthood. I went to a 1 year olds birthday party at my old Country Club. Clowns, inflatables, pool, giant cake like something you would see on TV. Best part, it was their child number 4. Other over the top changes from when I went to school. Kindergarten graduation with cap and gown. Junior High formal with tux and limos.

I'm not so certain of your assertion that if someone else is committing a crime, and your crime is discovered that you can't be charged. Let's say for example you are trespassing down a country road and see a crime, certainly you can, and should, report it. Another example that comes to mind, an underage person in a bar. The minor gets busted, and in a separate crime, the bartender gets arrested. Or perhaps a peeping Tom who sees a crime. Of course it is different if it is the police who are breaking the law, but private individuals, I don't think so.
