Someone very clearly dropped an F-bomb and the cameras picked it up.

Talking about being with the MLB team on opening day is hindsight, the dude had 63 professional PA's at that point.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) Anytime the sox want to put this crappy pitcher away is fine by me. He is garbage, lets not make him into something he isn't. This is the Sox. This is what we do. Our success at the plate is inversely proportional to the pitcher's ERA. We rip Lee last night, we get a pitcher with a ERA around 5 and we fall flat. We'd probably get no-hit if the opposing pitcher had a ERA of 8.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) Of course, he wasn't getting any until Clinton left Washington. It was like following Bartolo Colon through a buffet I didn't see this before

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) Speaking of "false outrage"... I'm not sure what your angle is, are you pointing out hypocrisy? I don't see it. That's just an example of someone showing Drudge being Drudge. During the campaign season, literally the only reason that one dumbass girl that made up the story about being assaulted and drew a backwards "B" on her face (cuz she was too stupid to remember she was looking in a mirror) and claiming some random black man did it because she was a McCain supporter is because Drudge hyped it up. I used to be able to easily find counter-examples of how common and irrelevant these kinds of incidents were but I can't now since Google is dominated by stories about this non-story.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) I don't know then. Maybe he is possessed by Dick Cheney. Sith Lords can have more than one apprentice right?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 12:37 PM) Could be he went the Cheney route - something snapped after 9/11 and now he's paranoid to the point of being mildly insane (though still intelligent). This is the first time I've ever seen him say anything off-base.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) Probably just any number of "experts" who do nothing but give opinions on TV shows. It was a while ago, but someone here (Balta?) posted some interesting stuff on that. There's even seminars you can take to be a pundit without any real expertise or knowledge. edit: what Balta said. Seems weird for him to say that, as everything on his wiki page indicates that he's left-of-center and not exactly a booga booga guy. I'd like some more context for that quote, but then I'd have to watch Glenn Beck. He's actually not a wackjob which is why it's so odd. I've quoted him before, even. Something to the effect that al-Qaida doesn't give a damn about our "freedoms" and that we watch R-rated movies and have women's rights and such and that our government (then it was Bush) needs to stop patronizing us and explain they attack us for what we are, not what we do.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 11:57 AM) If it's the same guy, and I think it is, here's his Bio. Was the guy who wrote that book "Imperial Hubris" a few years ago, as an anonymous author from within the CIA. That's the guy? He actually knows what he's talking about. What an absurd statement though.

Vanity Fair has a pretty unflattering piece on Palin. http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/feature...rah-palin200908

What the f***?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) Like I said... and like SS keeps trying to say - we're being forced into an artificial demand. That doesn't work well. Depends on what you're talking about. It's not the same thing as the government getting involved in the auto industry, etc. There's GOING to be a renewable energy market. The question is when.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 10:07 AM) There's a ton of demand? If there were, then people would pay the price, no matter what it is, right? I mean, basic econ here. There's not as much demand as the green president would like you to think. He's trying to create demand. Yet

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 09:32 AM) ^^^^^ She's incredibly overrated. You'd still hit it.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 12:48 AM) Are lost and Wyatt Cenac brothers or brothaaas? Seriously, they look alike. Is that the guy from the Daily Show? I've been asked that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 11:26 PM) And yet American companies aren't building it. In other words, there isn't any money in it, just like I have said all along. Of course there's money in it. Or rather there will be.

Holy s*** dude, I haven't looked at sig updates for you since you put a few pounds back on a few months ago. 155? Nice work.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) That's how I feel. The Hubble needed "glasses". All the other points are valid, but it's an entertainment movie. nothing more. it's entertainment, not the Matrix or LOST where there is some larger philosophical point. How's this movie different from the Matrix? That was a popcorn flick too. Same basic goal. I didn't have to "turn my brain off" to go see the Matrix.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) I'm guessing there is a big part of his career I am not familiar with. He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggonit, people like him.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) I'm seriously upset that the best plan these two world leaders could come up with was painting a U2 plane in UN colors. What the f***. I mean not that saying 9/11 over and over and just going ahead with it was a better plan but at least you wouldn't have had to explain why Iraqis captured a bunch of USAF personnel riding around in a cold war era plane w/ a bad paint job. f***. I don't know why I missed this the first time.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) Pinella Ozzie Larussa Torre All that tells me is that the players polled do not like to win. Retarded Poll if you ask me. lol. So true.

Fox News is confirming that the MN Supreme Court declared Franken the winner.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) I was just responding to the statement "Activist judges making new law over decades of precedent!" He was just being sarcastic to go along with what I was saying.

Seth in Street Fighter 4 is the cheapest boss ever, I swear to god.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) What would have been great is if Hurricane Chris ripped the mic out of the podium and 6 scantily clad apple-bottoms came out and danced on the Speaker's dais. A boy can dream...can't he? That would've made it worth it actually. Or maybe if Halle Berry is actually there. Any event is worth it if Halle Berry is there.
