I consider my night of drinking successful if I somehow remembered to take my contacts out, you should too. To help this, I always bring a contact case pre-filled with contact solution. It's this type of forward thinking that will help me in the real world.

The problem is you won't be able to find someone with qualifications for this job that has clean hands in the financial collapse unless you go to some economics professor who predicted the whole thing.

is bill veeck still our owner?

Eh I don't care. He seems to be considered the most likely individual to help most and it seems like working at the IMF was sticky for a lot of people there tax wise.

I like how the previews has a chick riding some dude reverse cowgirl style.

the point is how bad is our player development at that position when players who look absolutely terrible on the bears go elsewhere and look good.

hmmm...I posted an article.

I really think that the bears are so bad at developing receivers that even if we got a great one they wouldn't ever shine. I mean merely seeing Justin Gage actually look like a competent receiver in tennessee is so far and beyond what he was in chicago it makes me crazy. Same with wade. These below avg. receivers leave us and become respectable elsewhere.

I don't think I agree with that last paragraph, he clearly went after high priced talent last offseason though it didn't work out. I think he clearly just has a mandate to lower some payroll this year and is doing that.

zumaya doesn't seem like someone you should rely on to stay healthy at this point.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9011403682.html not really. Geithner isn't a democrat pick, he's one of the most qualified candidates for this position. further, there is 58 (soon 59) dem. senators, you think any of his people are really going to fail?

What a great game! That 6 minute penalty kill was epic, but Buffalo seemed to lax up thinking they had so much time. WE had the best scoring chance in that 6 minutes. haha, that toews goal was maybe the most boring hockey goal I've ever seen.

Were they pissed off in the 80s when we thought they'd overtake us with their educational and economic superiority and auto quotas, a nation at risk type s***?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) I don't get why he didn't mention his AIDS initiatives in Africa. edit: bmags beat me to it. The AIDS aid has its own problems, though; 1/3 of the funds are for abstinence-only education. Yeah wasn't that held up a lot by Jesse Helms initially. Not sorry to see him gone.

It didn't even mention his actual accomplishments in the area of AIDS relief that he can actually hang his hat on does it?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) That, plus I also think its funny that these predictions are being made now, and by a blog whose perspective is skewed. Well, I'm sure the people whom it was intended for didn't even bother looking at the other inferior divisions

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) "Elitist" is the dumbest pejorative in the English language. I mean, it clearly had its truths in times of a more class structured country, but today is just a buzz word to divide the country.

The supposed consensus of science on global warming has now collapsed? Didn't we just have two presidential candidates who both believed that global warming is man made? good lord that entire thing is a trainwreck. The rebuilding of presidential authority? This is disgusting. How can the man look at that with a straight face.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) i couldnt agree more , 4th, 5th starters, 3b, 2b, cf, the health of pk, thome dye, cq.... i dont see how anyone should expect the experts or those websites from choosing us to finish 1st or 2nd. if the sox r truly going to go with the roster as it stands, might as well trade dye and the older players. we wont win anything this year. go all young ok #1 makes sense but whats so funny? what, u think the sox r going to finish 1st or have a great team? ur being overly optimistic. what's funny was that was the prediction for last years team. Who finished first.

Eh, not me.

White sox preseason predictions: either dead on or dead wrong.

yeah the day n nite crookers mix will hit big even in Columbia, MO this semester I'm guessing. I've passed it to a couple of djs a couple months ago and was hearing it more. It's a fun song.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 03:50 AM) But here is where I disagree. This is not a fight over money or this life, this is a fight about god. This is a fight over the jewish narrative, the story of the chosen people, the story of the first people to believe in the one true god, who for their belief were given a piece of land where they were supposed to build a temple to god, the story of the first temple and its destruction, the story of the second temple and its destruction and finally the store of the third temple being rebuilt. I dont lay claims for anyone, I do not side with either on the argument, I just know what beats in their hearts. From your posts I am going to guess that you are not Jewish, I may be wrong, but I just have a feeling. This is my analogy: Your father is god, on your first birthday he gives you a house and says, as long as you live in my house you will be blessed and you will have heaven in your house. Unfortunately there are no police and you grow up not to be the biggest guy on the block. 25 years later your neighbor comes over ( Babylonians) and decides to burn your house down. You then have to walk around for a while until the Babylonians tell you that you can build your house again. You build your house and live there for another 25 years. Unfortunately while youve been living in your house another person bought all the land its on and has decided to make you pay taxes (Romans). You get upset about that so they come over destroy everything in your house and burn it down. Now for the next 50 years you live on the land where your house once was, but no one will let you rebuild your house (permits etc) so you just sit there and wait. Eventually the people who hand out permits decide that they are going to give a permit to your arch enemy and will let him build a house on your land. You protest, but there is nothing you can do. So they build the house where your house once was, and you can never have heaven on earth because you can not live in the house as god directed. No analogy can ever make sense unless it includes god, because the problem can not be solved with money or wealth, that can never bring the messiah. Well, we won't come to a compromise here, though I see your argument and respect it. In my opinion, these two groups are looking for their home more deeply rooted in ancestors and entitlement. If this could be settled reasonably and heal those wounds, the conflict will be hard to root up again. The rest is brought in to claim a higher sense of righteousness to their cause in conflict. When the conflict is gone the power behind it eases as well. When it comes down to motives, fighting for what was passed down by your father and father's father has been as big as a motive as land felt belonging to them and given by the Father.
