QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) Or maybe if it was some redneck, teabag, NRA members instead a few Muslims with possible terrorist links it would get more play. Although the anti gun groups don't seem to care, they dance in blood spilled by anyone... Don't be silly, what happened in Colorado is the exact scenario you are referring to.

Yay for comp pick!

That can only happen to the Lions.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:03 PM) You touted his pitch framing more than anyone on here and always seemed like Flowers biggest supporter. You never seem to pick any side of the fence to stand on. Keep playing both sides of the fence ,Dick ! This is textbook DA, he's a bonafide troll.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:08 PM) Hey Greg, you posted that with the wrong account. I should post this in the Republican thread, yes?

Obama and his false flag operations to try to take our guns away.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 01:20 AM) Trump might as well win the presidency. It's our last-ditch hope for an economic recovery even though he is way too cocky for some old guy. I mean Hilly isn't going to fix the economy. Trump would maybe fix it and at the very least give us a lotta laughs. Yes, Hillary is bad choice. Why do you not like Kasich?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 05:13 PM) 1.) you can have her 2.) not even in the same universe as the new mrs. My girl now - jeez, I'm telling you guys... She was named cheerleader of the year by a sports publication and is in swimsuit calendars. It's like every teenage boys dream girl walked right off the poster on the wall and into my life. It's been completely bats*** crazy lately but I feel very blessed. Thanks for the support gang - funny place to vocalize some of this and funny place to get some support. Man I really thought you were trolling earlier.

David Price just got paid... dayum! Did anyone anticipate this?

Extroverts just like random rapport I suppose. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense but f*** it.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) I know, but the OP said that UIC was shut down when it was U of C that was shut down. My sister goes to U of C. She came back home for the day. The guy who made the threat is just an imbecile. I knew when he said he had an M4-Carbine and two desert eagles that the bloke has played too much counter-strike.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) It's so ingrained though. You're not getting a city council position, judge appointment, garbage collector department head job, etc. unless you know someone in the system and have paid your dues. edit: and who's our next mayor? Most likely Preckwinkle. And whose camp is she in? Rahm's. She's part of the same cog. The people of Chicago need to step up their game and put people in office that don't treat running the city like a private tea-party. If it's a R or D, it doesn't matter. Chicago is too elite of a city to be dragged down by worthless politicians.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) People who engage in lengthy political discussions (really more like monologues) with random strangers on a plane are weird. I think it's the obligatory I have to chat with the person next to me on a plane. It's political season, I imagine you'll get a lot more of that.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) I don't care what party they're in. Just bring in entirely new politicians, in every spot. Even the inevitable incompetence of people learning on the job would be better than the status quo. This I can get behind. In Chicago it's not necessarily the D it's more of the clique they built over decades. If you're in that little clique, you shouldn't be able to sniff politics in this city. Enough is enough.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 11:18 AM) But don't worry! He's creating a task force! A task force to ensure police officer accountability.... you know, like the duties of the top brass at the CPD!! All is good! What a friggin' joke. It'd be really amazing if people in this city voted for unknown Republicans just once. Just to shake up the corruption for one cycle. Just one. Republicans are immune to corruption? Who knew...

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 07:17 AM) Terrorism is defined as violence or intimidation in the pursuit of political claims. It's not far fetched to call this terrorism among other things. It's terrorism. The act in itself is going to make people at PP clinics scared if they already weren't. I hope they beef up security to stop nutters like this in the future.

Homeland is super solid this season.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 30, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) I think it's a reference to the Sox/Royals incident last season. Aside from the A's/Royals stuff last season, I think the previous Lawrie nonsense could be chalked up to immaturity. Not that he won't act out again, but he could mature and imo has. We've seen Sox players do stupid s*** too in the past. One thing to point out about the A's/ Royals incident is that the Royals were pissed about Lawrie's take out slide. Lawrie's slid low through the bag to take out Cain but again, Lawrie slid low to take out the feet and not the knees. Lawrie even showed concern for Cain after the play. You did mean Escobar, right?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 10:57 PM) Hope that it isn't anything ligament. If it's bone bruise, it's slow to heal but won't usually require surgery. First Lewis, and Edelman, Amendola and now Gronk, they just couldn't' catch a break.. Well played.

He looks like a good base runner and defender.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) This will should cost Rahm and McCarthy big time FTFY

Bulls keep escaping by the hair on their chin.

That guy hits some absolute bombs. I don't know how the KBO works but are their fields smaller than the ML stadiums?

Garcia's in Lincoln Square is an excellent choice. I'm sure you could get a reservation there.
