He is as much Latino as Obama is black. Alpha that is projecting my friend. People just don't like Ted Cruz's politics. That Jindal character I heard would have been a good choice. My beef is, I don't think Republicans would allow a minority to represent their party.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 01:45 PM) Agree on House, disagree on Senate. Lots of already-red states on the slate for the Senate. And I think in cases where the state is not deep red or blue, the GOP is going to be hurting (pending on other world/national events of course). They will likely lose Senate seats IMO. House will likely stay red, but lose some ground and get close to even - but that is harder to predict and depends a lot on the economy in the next year. Either way if the American people send a message to this assholes it will be good.

GOP actually needs to produce viable candidates who can win. Might be good to start with a person of color/minority.

GOP is going down big time for this. They will be crushed in 2014. All they had to do was weather the storm and take back leadership. I don't think that's possible after the latest shenanigans. I believe in free speech and such but damn Duke, you could be more compassionate and sympathetic toward your fellow posters. Your beef is with the government and that's fine but the people losing their paychecks are clearly collateral damage.

Damn just reading this thread is depressing. I'm sorry but these tea party f***ers need to go. They are trying to circumvent the process that is in place instead of doing s*** the right way. They need to compromise at this point and concentrate on winning elections. This s*** will make everyone hate them and rightfully so. My blood is boiling thinking about what I'd do to them in a closed room right now.

Did anyone take the GRE in Chicago at the University of Chicago? That is their subject test.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Couple things that didn't make sense in the final: How did Walt get back to New Mexico from New Hampshire so damn quick to be there when the Grey Matter people got home when the lady on the phone said they would be back that night. Didn't make sense. Also how did he get ricin in the packet for Lidia?? You can't reseal that packet and it isn't where she always sits. Last time she met Todd she sat by the window I though. This time was different?? What does everyone think? He called from New Mexico first and foremost, not New Hampshire. That part is easy. He just made his own stevia package with ricin in it and put his packet there and removed the rest. That's not criminal mastermind s*** there.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 07:09 PM) So way back in my 3rd year of college I met this girl and we really got on. Hitting it off, we really worked well together. I was all about her, I struggled to hide it and suppress it but eventually really "went for it" and kinda struck out. Since then we had talked every 6 months or so cause even though it wrecks me every time I just engage her anyways. I'm a glutton for punishment. So my truck breaks down outside the city she moved to out west, and being the dumb ass I am I called her. She of course rushed out and we hung out for a few hours having not seen each other face to face in 3 years. It was great, we picked up like right at this awesome place we were at before. She looked fantastic, she was still smart and I mean, yea, it was all still there. She went on to kinda complain about the relationship she had been in for a year or so now and I had to tell her not to go on about it, and she complied but of course it stuck with me. This girl ain't dumb, she knew what she was saying. Since then all those feelings have just rushed back. I just stew on it for 11 hours by myself driving the truck. And I mean its not like I can sustain anything even if she was on board, I have to be from Burley, ID to Worcester, MA in the next 5 days. And from there who knows. It just sucks, this is the one girl I ever really got beat up over. I can't help but stay in touch with her because she's so stimulating and really is one of a handful of people stands up to my bulls*** but the only one who never judged me for it. It blows, man. And the thing is next time I'm in her neck of the woods I'll call her again. I can't help it. Is this infatuation or a legitimate crush?

I liked it. I thought the ending was perfect. People who want to know every single detail are just experiencing the five stages of death. They are in the denial stage that the show isn't over until it everything is explained. Let it go, just close your eyes and drift away.

This thread will probably be ended soon.

And just think both of them could be White Sox next year.

I somewhat was happy Giambi belted that homer to give their fans something to cheer for. I mean Cleveland is a pretty dismal place. The city needs this. When the Sox, took that lead, you felt this doom and gloom presence.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 09:43 AM) If you have 29 friends to hold guns to the heads of the other GMs in order to keep him from getting a better offer, that's a great plan. Pure gold.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) Apparently a lot of players wanted nicknames like Batman(Battier) and Flash(Wade) but due to copyright laws they cannot do it. Im kind of curious if King James will be on Lebrons jersey Knowing that choad, it will be. He just needs to keep quiet and winning games. I don't think people will forgive him for "The Decision".

Heh what are people's beef with Kepp?

Sox should want to play spoiler, f*** that noise.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 12:45 AM) Blacklist replays sat 8pm, set your dvrs. Based on the recs here, I'll start watching. Couldn't you just on demand it?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) A few theories. As a chemist, yeah I would agree that is most definitely what the title means.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) Rios hits for the cycle! Too bad the Rangers are looking at not making the playoffs. What is up with those scrappy Athletics?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) Not at all. At some point the community has to take back the streets or this stuff continues. CPD can't/won't handle that type of job, so call up the reserves to do it. That will only cause a racial predicament. I would say you need tougher laws on gangs. Oh I dunno how about we consider them terrorists and slap them with whatever we can.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) I had to explain to a bunch of Charlestonian's why Chicago wasn't Detroit after this story popped up last week. They seemed amazed when I told them all of this violence is basically centered in two small areas of the city, well away from the real $$. I also explained how it was my belief that the mayor, city council, county board, etc. are all "in" on never actually attacking this problem because if they did the violence would spread into more desirable places in the city, and then we really would end up like Detroit. People/businesses would leave for the burbs and the City would die. I still say call the national guard in with shoot to kill orders. That's the only way you stop this cycle of violence. O_O Are you trolling?

BB is so fresh. That is all.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) Especially if parents/grandparents have odd work hours, they might not have better hours to spend time with them. Can't believe how every major function of the city has declined so much since Rahm has taken over. I guess biking is better. Chicago is a lost cause when it comes to leadership. The people of this city are the ones that make it elite.

LMAO Greg just had to shove that in our faces yet AGAIN! You never cease to amaze us, bro. Marty you are back peddling hardcore. You said what you said now explain yourself!
