I'm surprised Shingo did as well as he did. There should be an award like Newcomer of the Year for non-rookies spending their first season in MLB.

There's like a 0% chance this kid will lead a normal life now too

Whatever he was trying to prove, I don't think many people got it. Suicide just doesn't make sense, ever.

In other news, as Bush says he will pursue a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage (which will never be ratified by 3/4 of the states anyways), Saskatchewan becomes the SEVENTH Canadian jurisdiction to legalize gay marriage. http://sask.cbc.ca/regionalnews/caches/sam...sask041105.html

Can you still get the hard drive for the small ones?

Oops sorry I deleted the other one cuz it was bad, I'm running Fedora Core 2

I thought it was entertaining to watch. The best part was towards the end, about half the audience including myself were cracking up at the hilarity of Cary Elwes and Danny Glover. The other half were a mixture of scared and confused as to why people were laughing. It was great to be part of such a mixed audience reaction and it really emphasized how hilarious the movie was. Hilariously poor.

Is it just me? or does Darth Vader look a little off?

I second auctionsniper

More like Deep Purple... Smoooooke on the water

All you need to know is that every state has electors or people designated to vote for the president. Illinois has 21, one for each congressman/woman in the state. Whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote in the state will get all the votes in the state (99.9% of the time). These are the votes that count.

Meh, she's ok, Vanessa Kerry on the other hand..

It's customary for the winnar to wait for the loser to concede before giving his victory speech.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19443 If anyone hasn't heard of BluRay, it is just a new format for CDs that will be coming out soon. Oh yeah, the capacity is about 25GB per disc. Apparently the Japanese (of course) have found a way to make them out of corn starch. They estimate 10 discs or 250GB per ear of corn. Could this be the start of a tech/corn bubble here in Illinois and Iowa? I can dream can't I?

Alec Baldwin comes to mind.

I believe there was a time and place for the Electoral College and that has passed. How much does it really mean to be Illinoisan anymore? Does it have any meaning? I know people that live here and registered to vote in other states like Wisconsin where there vote made a difference. The fact is we are all Americans first.

That would just be bad news for everybody and further divide this country. I'd pray this isn't true if I believed in God. Where did you hear this?

It's not that your voice isn't heard, it's that a president-elect looks at the electoral map and sees a bunch more red states than blue states. From that he can draw some conclusions and say things like "The American people have clearly spoken" and rule accordingly. I just wish the popular vote was taken as more meaningful since it is the finest granularity we can break down this country and get the most accurate picture of where people stand.

Where is the Hollywood of Canada? Vancouver? I expect there will be some new Canadians by the beginning of next year.

I just think it's an arcane process in the modern United States. In a way, everyone in Illinois who voted for Bush had their vote "not count" because every electoral vote went to Kerry. The opposite is true in Ohio. Despite all that, Bush won this election fair and square, it's not like four years ago and there should not be nearly as big a controversy about the result this time around.

I think whether we like it or not, our Sox are now filling the shoes of the Carmines in the AL.

Hillary should run as Hillary Rodham

Someone remind me why we still need the electoral college again? I forget every four years or so..

Watch it with that stuff guys or this topic will be closed

A great Spring Training rivalry finally manifests itself next June. THIS time it COUNTS!!
