I was disappointed too, but frankly, I don't think that kind of legislation should come from the feds, that's a matter for the states to decide for themselves. De-prioritizing it is enough for me for the time being, if some headway is made, changing the federal laws themselves would be the next step. But in the meantime, there needs to be some action at the lower levels.

Tyrus has played well enough for me to be able to say it wasn't just a fluke.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) I agree with all this. If I'm Ozzie, and I know he won't go this route, I give Brian Anderson one final chance to prove that he can be anything besides a liability with the bat. If he continues to felate (I learned that word from Heads or Southsideirish), it's time for him to move on. Two l's in that word, otherwise nice usage

Well that's obvious, but I meant he would basically be another Joseph McCarthy (literally).

If Hannity was ever elected to office, he would basically be Michele Bachmann.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 01:49 PM) Meant to say "didn't", but his 1 year in the majors came when his body was already filled in, expecting him to gain durability as he gets closer to thirty is just silly. I don't buy this at all, I'm about the same age as Alexei and if I wanted to build durability and stamina right now all I'd have to do is go to the gym and do some extra reps to tone my muscles. Actually I'm doing that right now and it's working. Alexei could do it too. He isn't THAT old.

Not sure where else to put this, but this made me chuckle. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/...ritney-concert/ I know how it is.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) "This entity -- Heidi's bar -- is not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate this problem, the more pressure there is on this establishment, the less we will see in terms of affordable boozing.' Nice

QUOTE (rangercal @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) Cleveland did that series of moves to cut costs. Shaffer is very solid. Chris Williams is a 1st round pick. Clady and Otah did not let the rookie title effect their performance. I have hope for Williams. He didn't suck last year, but he did not play much either. I choose to look at the glass half full. Williams didn't get his TC reps in, and he had to catch up, pretty similar to what a QB, RB, or MLB would go through. I'll reserve judgment on him until this coming preseason. Physically, he looked decent.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) I'm guessing both have the same type of intense pain. Hopefully we won't have to experience either. Word.

I'm curious about what it feels like to accidentally saw my dick off with a chainsaw. I don't actually want it to happen though.

Uribe had a better butt. Wait what?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 09:37 AM) I saw some exerpts in an article from her speech. She really is embarrassing. I can't believe she managed to be elected governor of a state, even if it is a somewhat strange state. Oh wait, I live in Illinois... ^^What in the f*** does that mean?

I kept trying to explain that I barely have any free time as it is because my life's moving at a pretty blistering pace right now, but they always try to convince me it's only a few hours a week. First of all I know full well that if I actually wanted to make money I would need to do more than that, secondly, I don't have "a few hours a week."

I remember him, and Randy Johnson, more for helping the D-backs beat the Yankees in the WS in '01.

Why is Sarah Palin still whining? Although ironically, while in the process of whining, she insisted she was not whining. Nice.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 09:11 AM) Staying clean is still "nothing" in my book. To me there is no reason why able bodied people on welfare can't do some sort of community service as a repayment for their entitlements. Childcare would become an issue to manage though.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) I know it's your opinion, but what's it based on? IMO I'd base it on just the reasons Rep. Frank said, in so many words, that his legal rulings are based on his personal opinions of/biases towards gays and less on actual legal interpretation. This is the way I see it, that my own personal views on gays should be irrelevant because the fact that the government shouldn't be approving of certain lifestyles in the first place (more specifically, ones that don't hurt anyone) overrides them. As an elected official/judge, I could privately be the biggest homophobe around, but it wouldn't matter, because I'm not in a position where I should be affecting anything, or legislating morality. Personally, I am indifferent to homosexuality in the same way that I'm indifferent to someone having Japanese parents, but like I said, this is irrelevant. However, none of this has anything to do with the fact that Frank is a horrible, horrible politician.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) Actually, I think Barney Frank is wholly appropriate for calling Scalia a homophobe. It's a fully accurate term in my opinion. However, I just intensely dislike Barney Frank for reasons having to do with my car. It's a fully accurate term, like I said, it's like calling fire hot, water wet, and the sky blue. It's just that to say it is unhelpful.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 05:24 PM) just so it's known, I'm only saying he's a Hall of Famer for his on-field performance. I think the dude's a complete douchebag and I still think that the bloody sock thing was a bit of a hoax. Co-sign

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) One of the best arms you'll ever see in CF. However, he's pretty overrated offensively, and will likely require Poreda or more. Only overrated by Yankees fans, but I think they've since given that up as of about 2007.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Almost, deal fell through. Anyone know how Melky's D is? How's his arm? He's a pretty excellent defender, good range and a strong arm. I'd say comparable to Anderson. Offensive ceiling is questioned though (not as bad as Anderson).

Yeah, I like that signing. I still want them to draft someone.
