One of the really fun things with wiki is following links. Also on December 24 was the famous Christmas Eve reading of Genesis by the Apollo 8 crew. At the time, the most watched television show.- TalkChicagoSports.com's Top 40 Greatest Chicago Sports Players
I felt the Chicago ties were much too thin for a couple of those guys. But I understood they would fall within the guidelines, and have no quarrels with someone picking them.- Happy Birthday Kid Gleason
Happy Birthday!! Not Some Crappy Radio Band- Sen. Ted Kennedy
He was at my University a couple months back. Looking his age, that's for certain. The family certainly has given a lot to this country over the years.- LET'S MAKE A LIST - PART 2
Plus, don't most of these guys have wiki's?- LET'S MAKE A LIST - PART 2
QUOTE (knightni @ May 17, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) Yes. But with no one else sending me a write-up, I'm not sure I can use it. I'm not really prepared to write 34-49 bios on everyone else on my own. I think we have a cart and horse situation here. I'll write up a few, but I'm not certain which ones to do. I imagine that, for example, Jordan will be on the list someone, you don't need ten write ups of MJ. So maybe, at a min, send a PM to voters for guys in the top twenty and ask them for two specific write ups? Perhaps even have a standard format?

- Hurricane Evacuation Plans
And I'm not certain if I was clear, but this is not THE border, this is the checkpoint about 50 miles inside the country. The only comment I've heard so far that makes some sense to me was basically it should be citizens first on the buses. If I did not watch a TV news report I would have thought this was urban legend. I have faith this will be changed.- Time to extend CQ?
QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 16, 2008 -> 08:03 PM) Or maybe bench the young and cheap player for a veteran? No, find someone in the minor leagues who will be even better . . .- Hurricane Evacuation Plans
This is being reported here. Changes to the hurricane evacuation procedures. In the event of a hurricane hitting my little corner of the United States, as 300,000+ of us are fleeing north and west, we will be required to prove citizenship. Those that cannot prove US citizenship, or other legal status to be traveling north of the interior border checkpoint, will be detained in the hurricane zone. There are basically three routes out of this area. Of those three, one will probably not be a choice due to its proximity to the coast. The second hugs the US/Mexico border and the Rio Grande River and really does not go anywhere the majority of people will be going. So we will have over 150,000 people traveling up 281 and all will be required to stop at the interior checkpoint. Brilliant! I'm trying to get my ass and my family to safety, and we're going to be in an even worse grid lock as we stop and show them our papers. And God help any one of us if we forget as we haul ass out of there.- Time to extend CQ?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 15, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) I didnt want to start a whole thread about it, but I would look at signing Kenny Lofton to a minor league deal if I was KW. His OBP has been fairly steady over the years and could add a decent presence to the top of our lineup. Right now our leadoff hitters have been some of the worst in the majors. That's where we're a little mixed. Are we trying to win now? Holding and hoping? Building? I thought we were trying to win now.- AN OPEN LETTER TO CARLOS QUENTIN
