QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 06:23 PM) You can't choose your grandfather, unless you are from Kentucky or Alabama and do alot of inbreeding, but you can choose your pastor. Big difference. I understand your point, but still a big difference. Nice slam on the south. Intelligent. Yep,m just a bunch of inbreeding. ha ha ha

I would like to renounce every person I have come in contact with over my life who I do not agree with their views. Further, I renounce anyone who I may have come in contact with during my lifetime who may in the future make statements I do not agree with. I will try my best to never listen to anyone whose views I may not agree with both currently and what they may say in the future.

Just wondering, those that think this proves that everyone in that Church are racists, including Obama, what changes will he try and make in America as President? Have whites ride in the back of the bus?

Shall we just fast forward to October and call it a season?

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) Thats what those Cleveland fans get for booing Thome. How do you boo Thome. And Tiger fans wonder why we boo Maggs etc. etc.

This may be the best this season gets

QUOTE(The Bones @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Instant fame?! Does anyone actually remember the names of any of these idiots that do this stuff? And do people not know the difference between being famous and infamous anymore? Seriously...our culture has become all about me, me, me. People will do anything to try to get noticed even for all the wrong reasons.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) YOu know, this may seem a little weird (I blame the alcohol and lack of sleep from Vegas), but with the general liberal way of thinking being that life in prison is a worse punishment than the death sentence, why wouldn't the weight of 4000 deaths be a bigger burden for someone than actually dying (to all except the deceased, of course)? Could anyone here sleep knowing that his or her decisions led one way or the other to the deaths of 4000 American soldiers? Or do you all think he is the devil with absolutely zero feelings whatsoever? Just a thought. I'll go back to my prolonged hangover now. Great point, and I truly believe Bush has been affected and has lost sleep.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) The arrogance is THE problem with this administration. From his time as Governor, I would never have attached arrogant and Bush. Somewhere along the line things went wrong, very wrong, for Bush. It seems he lost control of his own Presidency, perhaps by trying to appease everyone and allowing people too much latitude in performing their duties.

I would not want to be judged on what friends, former friends, or even pastors now believe, write, speak out about, etc. I'm surprised that anyone here would hold themselves up to the same standard.

Dear James, Want a reminder of why we still need more people in Congress who know what war really is, and the obligations we owe those who bore the burden of battle? Just last week, Vice President Cheney was asked about the burden of the Iraq War on our military. His answer? George Bush bears the greatest burden of the war. 4,000 American troops who gave their lives? The Vice President summed it up: "They volunteered." When I read the Vice President's comments, I was reminded of what Marine Corps 3-star General Gregory Newbold, the former Operations Director at the Pentagon, said about the war in Iraq: "The commitment of our forces to this fight was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results." This is why our work isn't done changing the face of Congress. Dick Cheney doesn't get it, but he'll be gone in January - the question is, who will be coming here to speak up for the troops? The rubber's hitting the road right now. I need you to help send more people to Washington who did serve, who did volunteer, and who took from that experience a personal commitment to provide for our nation's soldiers and a deep understanding of the magnitude of issues of war and peace. Here are some more of those people -- so please do what you can to help them today: http://www.actblue.com/page/strongermajority2 In the House, there's been no better or clearer voice on national security than Admiral Joe Sestak from Pennsylvania. The johnkerry.com community went to the mat to help send Admiral Sestak to Congress, and he has been as courageous in Congress as he was in the Navy. His record of standing up and being counted has landed him on the very top of the GOP target list, and he can use our help right now. A good fundraising quarter can signal great strength and put him on the offensive in 2008. In New York, former Navy Commander Eric Massa is running against Randy Kuhl. Last time, Eric came within a whisker of beating Kuhl, losing by only 2 points. With a little extra effort this time, we can push Eric over the top. Eric's a former top aide to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. He understands military and foreign policy in his head and in his gut, and he's committed to a new course in Iraq and to making health care universal for all Americans. In California, former Air Force helicopter pilot Charlie Brown is running to fill another GOP open seat vacated by a Republican one step ahead of scandal. Now he's facing two career politicians who didn't even live in his district. Charlie's son is active-duty Air Force and has served four tours in Iraq; believe me, Charlie doesn't need any lectures about who bears the burden in the military today. And Charlie isn't waiting to get to DC to start helping; he's donating 5% of everything he raises in this campaign to help veterans' service organizations around the country. And we also have an incredible veteran running to break the Republican roadblock in the Senate. In Tennessee, my friend Bob Tuke is a Marine who served America in uniform, a Democratic soldier who has worked hard for others and, now, a candidate for the United States Senate. He headed up my efforts in Tennessee in 2004, and he's fought for Democrats as head of the TN Democratic Party. He served in Vietnam (yes, he volunteered), and now is answering the call to service once again. In January, I want to see Bob sworn in to the United States Senate. So please donate what you can to help these great veterans turn our Congress into a force for change: http://www.actblue.com/page/strongermajority2 It is profoundly wrong to think that fighting for your country overseas and fighting for your country's ideals at home are contradictory or even separate duties. They are, in fact, two sides of the very same patriotic coin. So this year, let's send more of these great Democratic patriots to Congress. Thanks, John Kerry

Texas had the most wins (3) against top 5 teams #1 in the nation in not turning the ball over Home games for the second and third weekends I picked them to go all the way. Busted my tourny. Done. But I still think it was a great pick in these kinds of pools.

Division winner.

Happy Birthday

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:38 AM) I think its OK, but, I wouldn't do it personally. I think I'd be silent. Saw Clinton just after the Monica scandal and I booed, no regrets.

Just to toss a log on the fire and add another stereotype, his neighbor is wearing a NASCAR hat, you know, just sayin' I'm buying the accident defense.

Not only is it OK, it should happen. That singular act sums up our freedoms. Every President in my lifetime deserved a hearty round of boos at least a few times in their Presidency.

I've been too busy to weigh in, just did, golding at 226. Yuch.

I read the article and didn't even want to post it. No news on who raped her, and I'm just tossing that unsubstantiated charge out there as well.

You like the shadow she is casting. Eventually, you have to step out of the shadow and see the real her, and she sees you.
