Next time, if you really need to beat someone, just make sure you do it until he's dead. Save everyone the heartburn later.

In fairness to AIG, I have to ask, are the execs getting the bonuses part of the insurance division or the financial division? Because the insurance division is golden, it's the financial division that's f***ed everything for the entire company. Bottom line, not everyone that works at AIG sucks.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 06:57 PM) liberals and conservatives must unite and focus rants on such abuses.

And f*** Abu Zubaydah.

Um, I learned in like 3rd grade that the "green" in Greenland was some silly lie made up by the Vikings. I thought that was common knowledge.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 02:50 AM) People are grossly undervaluing the speed Wise brings to the lineup. We have too many slow station-to-station runners that we really need some quicker guys on the bases that can potentially steal bases. Not really. What are you going to have him do? Sprint back to the dugout? That's where he'll end up after about 3/4 of his at-bats, at least.

Chicago would be a glaring exception to that list since I don't think it's had a Republican mayor in like 80 years.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) Matt Forte might be the 3rd or 4th best RB in last years draft alone, the fact people are so against trading him with a guy like Cutler available baffles me. Not saying we prob wont get Cutler anyways but if the scenario did happen and the only thing holding it up was Forte...... I would give up Briggs long before I gave up Forte. Angelo doesn't hit on his offensive picks very often.

I've watched this like 25 times, I can't stop.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) Neither was Eisenhower. Leaving so few greater-than brackets between Jindal/Sanford and Palin is kinda unfair. Need to add another 10 or 12.

Petraeus > Jindal > Sanford >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Palin I have no idea if Gen. Petraeus is a registered Republican though.

Holy thread jacking Batman. Splitting this thread since this is a completely different topic.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 01:04 AM) I stopped reading after the which other sport is more boring line. What a tool. Yeah, blame the greatest, and most popular sport in the world for your children being overweight pussies. How f***ed up is his daughter going to be one day. "Yeah, my dad read books on the sideline when I played soccer as a kid." f*** that guy. Well the guy is a douche, but seriously soccer is pretty f***ing boring. I've honestly tried to like it, but it does absolutely nothing for me. A sport where a 3-0 score is considered a blowout? No thanks.

QUOTE (Soxpranos @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Ok his defense is good, but again people don't realize he gives those outs back when he cant execute a simple bunt or move runners over with less than 1 out. If he is so spectacular there should not be 3 guys fighting for the job . Uh, really now, nobody is under any illusion about what BA is... the thing is his "competition" are just as bad or worse, but also can't defend.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) Other than the fact that our Josh Fields is our starting 3B, and the fact he wouldnt be sent down, then it would have been believeable. Doesn't have to be believable, all you need is that initial "WTF?"

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) interesting, but also written with an obvious slant, and the writer's opinion on the matter is very transparent. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing here. If Obama is going to allow the cloning of humans (he said he would not when he signed the statement), or look the other way when embryos are created just for the purpose of destruction, then yes, I have a problem with that. All of the other points the writer makes make it sound like sour grapes that Obama took a position he didn't like, a position which he makes completely obvious.

Where'd you get 17 from? Maryland was 7 in 2003 unless I'm looking at the wrong data. Our taxes have gone up since then so now we're 4. Sounds about right. Maryland's state motto should be "If you can dream it, we can tax it."

Here in MD it seems like our taxes are right behind federal in the percentage. It's ridiculous. IL's tax rates are really nothing compared to ours. I don't feel sorry for you guys, lol.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) I know. Maybe I should have added the postsript "Crede brought back in trade with Twinkies" You coulda just left it as is and then you wouldn't know unless you were already thinking about the pitcher.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) point of this thread was? Just to f*** with us. I laughed. Good one elrock although you kinda blew it when you had "in a panic at 3B"

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 03:03 AM) Oh jesus christ we're going to end up with a swiss model, the swiss model, that country where all the b****y companies *those 6 companies, you know, those galt companies that are so smart they left despite no real difference b/w here and america* and it will be incomplete and whatever but we will adjust. Blah blah blah blah blah. Earmark reform will never happen because its a stupid platform to run on, it's a stupid (i'm going to change things) platform that will never happen because everyone benefits from it. Oh f*** Utah for getting federal funding to reduce an insect that effects their agriculture I buy! f*** them! But thank you, I will take my new highway. We deserve it. I will re-elect you, congressman and senator, at a 94 percent rate. Go McCain! YOU FOUND THE PROBLEM! It wasn't deficit spending using emergency funds for two wars or not dealing with the entitlement spending! It was the 1% of the budget going towards social projects! That would've saved the doubleing of a 10 trillion deficit in ten years! YOU ARE SO GOOD AT MATH!

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 09:39 PM) Sizemore, no question. Solves our leadoff & CF problems and give us a perennial MVP candidate to go along with God. imo Curtis Granderson is about equivalent to Sizemore.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) I like his signing statement on the earmark budget bill... Obama is scared to face anyone on this one. Even if he did nothing would happen, Congress would just tell him to f*** off the same they would any president (hence my earmarks = drama queens thread).

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 10:00 PM) I agree. However, Obama is a dumbass of the first degree when Obama made that a focal point and then turned right around and signed the bill, AND THEN on top of that, "when earmarks are done the right way... blah blah blah". Some change. That was just a pure lie. PURE lie. That is indefensible. Kind of like he won't have lobbiests in his administration. When are people going to learn that no one in Washington is any different? All they want is their own power. And that's both parties. Yeah, I don't like how he keeps backing himself into a corner like this. It's like he doesn't understand the concept of subtlety or nuance (but I KNOW he does, he's no dummy).

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) i get that you're sad that your guy lost - but give it the f*** up. a majority of the country wanted this guy in office, he's got a huge crisis to deal with, and i think at this point none of us know what better to do - so we've all got to just see what happens. he certainly gives more than a rat's ass about the economy... by the way - please remember i was no big obama fan, so don't use that stupid argument against me. I think it's funny you say "your guy" while clarifying you weren't an Obama fan and insisting he doesn't say that. Kap openly hated McCain on here.
