Indiana voter ID laws upheld
There is a balance in here somewhere. As noted there are valid reasons why someone would not have a valid picture ID and creating barriers to voting is something that has to be carefully considered. I find it interesting, with low voter turnouts and apathy by many American in voting, the illegals (and we know this is targeted towards illegals) are flocking to the polls. It would appear that the majority of Americans (who do not vote) are concerned that others may vote. Dammit, a true American speaks English and does not vote. What this is really about is the voters that will be effected tend to vote for one party over another. If the votes were balanced, politicians would not care and largely ignore the topic. We have a nice degree of grandstanding that will play well with some voters. And, just to be clear, I do not believe people living here illegally should be allowed to vote.

Things getting worse for Roger Clemens
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:09 AM) I think what we have here is someone trying to make a career comeback trying to get her name in the news. In other news, Barry Bonds sent a huge thank you to Roger Clemens for being a bigger target then himself. Amazing.

While there may be some differences between the north and south sides, with so many fans coming from the suburbs and all over, the gene pool for Cubs, Sox, Hawk, Bulls, and Bears fans are about the same.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 09:26 AM) I hate those things with a passion, but what a waste to work on legislation to ban them. I do have a huge pair of them things hanging off of my Mac. Now that is cool. PCs come with their own . . .

SOXTALK'S TOP 50 FUNNIEST MOVIES
I wish I had spent more time on my list. I was kind of like Bush the past few years, just went through the motions and no one agreed with me I can't believe more people didn't like RV. I think it was Robin Williams best, and also What About Bob, Bill Murray's best.

I'm wondering, now that everyone has seen the list, how they would rank a top 5 from this list. I would have to go Blazing Saddles Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Animal House Tommy Boy It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World And my vote for best film not on the list: What About Bob? with an honorable mention to Fast Times- Y'all Don't Know Cool In Florida <-- green

Fast Times not on the list? I guess I'll just have my gf over, put on side two of Zep 4. Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?- UNDER AGE DRINKERS BEWARE!
QUOTE (kevo880 @ Apr 25, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Why don't they give a rip at bears games if there's underage drinkers tailgaiting? It could be who owns the lots.- UNDER AGE DRINKERS BEWARE!
QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 25, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Just a question...but aren't the Sox libel of something happened to an underage person drinking in some way, shape or form since technically it's on their "property". Not sure how that works...but you really can't get mad at guys just doing their jobs and the White Sox orginization merely protecting themselves. If their liquor license works like a store, restaurant, bar, etc. they could have it suspended or revoked. No big deal. IIRC some team did have it yanked for a game a few years back.- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!
This is the Sox worst PR nightmare. Crede playing up to his potential.- UNDER AGE DRINKERS BEWARE!
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) So its OK when you break the rules, but not the underage drinkers. That's a pretty big bowl of hypocrisy you are serving up there... Are you really comparing calling the manager's name to underage drinking? I'm not even certain their is a rule about it, I imagine it's more etiquette and common sense.- Former Sox Minor Leaguer Writes Book About Minors
