QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) LOL, FOX news was saying he was going to be found guilty. Of course they were.

I give 25 minutes before that DA is out of a job.

Sad...this place updates far faster than Drudge or CNN.com.

At least it's over!!!!

Come on, get this over with, I've been trying to call apartments and figured people wouldn't pick up until it was over...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) Dammit, if MJ is found guilty I will have to burn all of his albums that I own. Is that in green because of burning them or because of the owning of the albums?

Gosh, there are as many people reading this thread as some game threads.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) Ahhhh, grounds for a mistrial already. Sweet. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) This won't hold a candle to the Jacko jury verdict, but the timing of Cooney's resignation, announced today, is an interesting coincidence... Man, that is some fascinating timing. Resign right after your name winds up on the front page of the NYT. Who woulda thunk it?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) He had better be guilty or I will riot in my front yard. Please be nice to your lawn. He's not worth hurting a single blade of grass.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) Listen to Mac, Jurko, and Harry instead... Mac doesn't like Timo Perez. That's the smartest thing that's been said this entire trial.

Now listed as "approximately 5:00 p.m. EST" for the reading, for those who are sitting on the edge of their seats. The rest of us will now resume making fun of you.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) Maybe it's just me, but if you want your team to win, shouldn't you do your absolute best to try and keep your players happy? Not if happy translates to lazy, or unmotivated, etc. Do you think Vince Lombardi's guys were happy during practice?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) where the f*** is Jackson gonna go and not be recognized? Just wait 3 more plastic surgeries.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Why would we want or need Womack? He isn't that good and we already have 4 guys on our roster that can play 2nd base. We'll need a new backup 2nd baseman when we send Willie down to make room for Gload.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) Not really. News networks aren't really concerned... Funniest damn thing I've seen all day.

If Cliff keeps this up... Does he have what it takes to start closing games?

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Wait guys, make sure I have this right. If guilty America is racist. If not guilty America is soft on celebrities. Right? If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit.

Note to self... Watch NO TV tonight other than the White Sox game. Burn tomorrow's newspaper.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) WIGERMANIA TONIGHT Wiger was on the radio earlier saying that Ozzie told him he would start. THEY BEST BE STOCKING UP ON FIREWORKS TONIGHT, WIGERMANIA IS GOING TO RUN OVER THE SNAKES Makes sense against a lefty. Ozzie's stocking up on the righties.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) A lot of sport writers are writing good things about Hermanson. Hopefully they can say the same about him come September. He has an ERA of over 7 in June. I'm hoping he just needs a little extra rest.

The problem I always have with these reports is that they have a terrible way of defining "going hungry". You'll note that in the article they don't give any particular definition of the phrase. Entirely from memory, I believe I read somewhere that the definition they used was that the person missed 1 meal per month. That stat makes sense if that's the sort of definition they're using. And it makes these surveys highly questionable, as it's almost impossible to determine a cause - maybe it's not that people can't afford it, maybe the parents aren't around for some reason and that's the problem. The lack of a definition of "hunger" in the article above really prevents a decent analysis of the study. A much better way to define hunger would be average daily caloric intake - call people hungry when they can't afford more than like 80% of the US RDA for calories. (I'm sure you could come up with an exact standard based on some real research). At that point, when people can't afford to eat more than 3/4 of what they're supposed to, then they genuinely need help. But if they're defining hungry based on a couple missed meals...a rise in that stat doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Yes, considering that in many cases even the signature from our Commander in Chief and SecDef were stamped, it is quite impressive that he's written some 1300 letters. And extremely sad. (Side note...he's also said he regretted his part in the Freedom Fries idiocy)
