QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 10:17 AM) I don't buy into this line of thought. A base hit prevented is just as meaningful as a base hit achieved. This is a true statement, but it's making a separate point.

You guys are full of s*** if you think this is all caused ONLY by Democratic allies, unless you've been to every one of these town halls in their entirety.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 10:32 AM) I think Palin needs to be the first one examined for worthiness to live. Is this really necessary

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) Quite frankly, no it won't. I have no idea how. But no it won't. Carlos Quentin will be DFA because Wise can PR and be a defensive sub.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Elderly have the right to have living will consultations -> Obama wants to Euthanize the elderly -> Obama wants to euthanize everyone with any flaws. Pretty easy progression. If you're going to tell the first lie, the 2nd one isn't exactly far beyond it. The irony is that they are the ones that flipped a s*** about Terri Schiavo. The idea behind that is to try and prevent future situations like that. I fail to see how that can even remotely be considered a bad thing, but then again, I'm not a talk radio host talking out of my ass and grasping onto whatever straws I can to make the liberal loonies look evil.

I have to think Glenn Beck is all an act. It's just easier to think of him that way.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:14 PM) Seriously, I want to start up my own death panel. Sounds kinda renegade. The f*** is she talking about? She is making s*** up. No one, nowhere, is proposing anything remotely resembling whatever she is hallucinating about.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:26 PM) We won't be making that trade. Unless, we're sending straight cash (homey?) to the Jays, players will be involved our end. Nice. I applaud.

Don't do it!

Clearly, it's time to dump him and hope someone claims his contract.

Does this mean the end of Wise?

Word on the street is that Baitullah Mehsud (Pakistani Taliban leader) is done. If true, and it looks like it is, that's a pretty big deal.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) i don't know what a 912 projecter is. i do know the Dems put out the word calling for a confrontation at these events. I think that's Glenn Beck's people. Again, FWIW, they specifically said to stay civil and not be disruptive and violent. But not everyone bothers to heed that.

I'm not disputing with the premise but I hate it when people use the word "terrorist" like that.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) I Heard he was planning a hiking trip with Palin . It would be hard to be weirder than Sanford's story. Hopefully it is. That would be awesome.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) I just watched the press conference and he gave no insights other than that standard, "spend time with my family" line. Yeah, so ambiguous. I know that's not the real reason. Maybe a sex scandal is brewing. I like those.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) I'm beginning to feel that SoxTalk is concerned about every player no matter how hard they are hitting the ball. When do we get the "Gordon Beckham isn't hitting .400" thread? If the Beckham thread didn't just get merged I'd totally do this. I don't want to get de-modded and banned though.

That's kind of out of the blue. I knew he wasn't going for re-election but why is he just up and leaving?

So, on the subject of casual mention of politicians, my friend is in Spain right now. Evidently there is a wax statue of President Obama at somewhere she visited. This is how she chose to remember said statue.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) There is a big difference to protesting and using violence. I understand Dem loyalists do not like when Democrat leaders are ridiculed, talked harshly to, or when a chant breaks out that is not “No Blood For Oil”; but this is no excuse to resort to violently attack people. Shameful. These Democrat goons look much worse than any town hall dissenter. That wasn't really the point I was making, but I didn't see that in the article. It looked tit-for-tat. It looked like most of the conservative organizers said to be courteous and respectful, but that there were people determined to shout and be disruptive jackasses, and then naturally it gets violent (what do they expect?). I didn't see anything about union goons endorsing violent attacks against the opponents though, maybe that was in the video I can't watch since I'm at work. If that's the case I'd find it hard to believe it's just the liberal types doing it. This is what happens when people act like asses and start shouting at each other, telling people to listen when you're not interested in listening yourself.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Democrat goons attack those whom do not agree with their policies http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/aug/06/pr...lth/news-metro/ Video of union thugs video taping protestors for later retribution. They also attack the protestors; yet the proud citizens were not deterred or afraid of the goons and continued to chant "Hear our voice" even as the goons attacked. These town hall meetings are getting stupid. Do these people know how they look? If you want people to agree with your point of view, you have to convince them on their turf, using language they understand. If you think saying the same thing louder and ruder will help, it doesn't, and nobody listens to you. The response is for them to do the same back and then you both look like flaming idiots.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 12:12 PM) What other options do we have. We don't. If he's healthy, there is no reason he shouldn't be in the lineup. If he's not healthy, that's another story.

Is this per member of Congress or for Congress as a whole? Because $12.5 million is nothing, really. That's probably analogous to complaining because you went to the grocery store and forgot your coupon for 50 cents off.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've said something to the effect that I'm not really happy with him being in the lineup if he's not hitting. Sure he still has power, but he's not in any kind of groove making contact yet.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 10:10 AM) I've noticed more and more boards getting strict about this. We shouldn't C&P more than a paragraph of an article, either. Technically, not supposed to, I guess it's never been an issue here yet.
