Remember in 01 though when all our players were getting injured and everyone started putting heat on Herm Schneider?

I just feel that if you are attacking companies for their tax evasive Cayman Islands techniques you shouldn't be doing it yourselves.

what are these win things

does anyone have an account with the wall street journal? I only ask because my professor Steve Weinberg I guess had a great review for his new book on Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller by the former editor of the wall street journal. thought this would be a good place to look.

from someone else: Rock Paper Scissors Politics: McCain will beat Obama Obama beats Clinton but only CLINTON can beat McCain.

I believe our offense will be better. I THINK FROM MY GUT.

holy snikes. Just saw Jenks for the first time! Weird look.

so, I had class all day and I get back at like three and I thought we had lost because of Tex's post about venting and the game thread having people all pissed off. I'm angry. Now I'm happy actually.

actually, i'm not sure why I asked you, I'm out of class with nothing to do. This is Richardson's editorial in the statesman. Is it alright for me to post it here? Link: http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/e...=7&cxcat=45 story: COMMENTARY Richardson: Obama endorsement comes out of loyalty to my country Bill Richardson, GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO Thursday, April 03, 2008 My recent endorsement of Barack Obama for president has been the subject of much discussion and consternation — particularly among supporters of Hillary Clinton. Led by political commentator James Carville, who makes a living by being confrontational and provocative, Clinton supporters have speculated about events surrounding this endorsement and engaged in personal attacks and insults. While I certainly will not stoop to the low level of Mr. Carville, I feel compelled to defend myself against character assassination and baseless allegations. Carville has made it very clear that this is a personal attack — driven by his own sense of what constitutes loyalty. It is this kind of political venom that I anticipated from certain Clinton supporters and I campaigned against in my own run for president. I repeatedly urged Democrats to stop attacking each other personally and even offered a DNC resolution calling for a positive campaign based on the issues. I was evenhanded in my efforts. In fact, my intervention in a debate during a particularly heated exchange was seen by numerous commentators as an attempt to defend Sen. Clinton against the barbs of Sens. Obama and John Edwards. As I have pointed out many times, and most pointedly when I endorsed Sen. Obama, the campaign has been too negative, and we Democrats need to calm the rhetoric and personal attacks so we can come together as a party to defeat the Republicans. More than anything, to repair the damage done at home and abroad, we must unite as a country. I endorsed Sen. Obama because I believe he has the judgment, temperament and background to bridge our divisions as a nation and make America strong at home and respected in the world again. This was a difficult, even painful, decision. My affection and respect for the Clintons run deep. I do indeed owe President Clinton for the extraordinary opportunities he gave me to serve him and this country. And nobody worked harder for him or served him more loyally, during some very difficult times, than I did. Carville and others say that I owe President Clinton's wife my endorsement because he gave me two jobs. Would someone who worked for Carville then owe his wife, Mary Matalin, similar loyalty in her professional pursuits? Do the people now attacking me recall that I ran for president, albeit unsuccessfully, against Sen. Clinton? Was that also an act of disloyalty? And while I was truly torn for weeks about this decision, and seriously contemplated endorsing Sen. Clinton, I never told anyone, including President Clinton, that I would do so. Those who say I did are misinformed or worse. As for Mr. Carville's assertions that I did not return President Clinton's calls: I was on vacation in Antigua with my wife for a week and did not receive notice of any calls from the president. I, of course, called Sen. Clinton prior to my endorsement of Sen. Obama. It was a difficult and heated discussion, the details of which I will not share here. I do not believe that the truth will keep Carville and others from attacking me. I can only say that we need to move on from the politics of personal insult and attacks. That era, personified by Carville and his ilk, has passed and I believe we must end the rancor and partisanship that has mired Washington in gridlock. In my view, Sen. Obama represents our best hope of replacing division with unity. That is why, out of loyalty to my country, I endorse him for president. Richardson is a former Democratic candidate for president. This column first ran in The Washington Post.

athomeboy, you should post Richardson's editorial. I believe talkingpoints had it in one of their links.

the lede in this article gave me a chuckle (from front page of wsj): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1207183159...=hpp_us_pageone

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:14 AM) screw it, just end all forms of expression, because anything can be seen as offensive in the hyper political correctness age. have our public schools like in those weird science fiction works where everyone is exactly same. no one ever questions authority. yes sir. no sir. right away sir. Complete political correctness bliss. ahhhhh Well, we have it gets sticky. Unlike the Tinker case, since this is occurring in a class that promotes art, and therefore could fall under that they are promoting the art the students are producing. Tinker states that schools have to tolerate acts of speech and expression, not promote them. So anything that happens during a class, students don't have much free speech. Me personally, I disagree. however, in the case it happened, I agree with the ruling, just not the standard it set up. Some states grant students more freedom of speech, not Missouri, however, I'm pretty sure this state has created most of the educational standards by the Supreme Court.

OK, who is ready to see the Vanity Fair piece? Also, there is a second memo by Yoo I guess, they found in footnotes of the first. They are now trying to declassify that. Unreal.

damn it. Will we ever win a game? 2 games behind the Royals.

Why are you an angry black Muslim *cough*terrorist*cough*...excuse me...? So we all know you were named after Saddam Hussein, your parents idols, and um, well lets see, what's your favorite color? black or red?

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) I was actually going to make a post similar to this one, but this was actually before I read the exact quote you just posted... how Cheney comes across in the interview depends a lot on how the reporter quotes him. You can selectively quote that and make it look like he said something terrible and ungrateful. that was an email though from "John Kerry". Not a reporter.

saw this. Am excited!
