QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) And by "Western Government" you basically mean the United States. The United States is the lead singer, the backup singers are the EU.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) I argued with MANY people on here who STILL call the 2001 recession the Bush recession. I argue with you calling it the Clinton Recession, but I don't blame it on Bush, either.

I know some of my friends who did, but I have dumb friends.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) Nothing is said?? What news are you watching? I think he means by Western governments, the strongest thing that is ever said to Israel is a glorified "hey guys can you try not to do that, thanks, if it's too much trouble no big deal though" when they get rebuked.

Can we get a "originally from Chicago but now lives in another state" option?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Olmert? Between the corruption in his government, his internal weakness, the split in the Palestinian government, and the casual opposition to so many people in the U.S. to a peace accord, he really didn't have a chance even if he wanted to organize a peace accord. Yet, even still, he was their best shot.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 11:45 AM) Because you stated they were much better than either West team, but yet, those teams clinched their division, and you gave them(ARI) crap for losing down the stretch. You know a lot of teams are more concentrated on being healthy down the stretch once they clinched. And for SD, yea, their division was down, but it was still better than the NFC Bore as evident by both West teams advancing at least into the second round of the playoffs. No, my whole point was that division winners should not be guaranteed a home game just because they won a crappy division. At the time I was talking about SD, and since it also applied to AZ I said AZ should not be hosting a playoff game either. I never said anything bad about the quality of SD or AZ as teams except that they lost too many games to deserve a home game (although I admit I don't like SD), those are your assumptions apparently, since you keep bringing it up. The NFC North and the quality of teams thereof is completely, totally, absolutely 100% irrelevant to this discussion.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 10:29 AM) Or we could keep Dye and sign pitching. Unless we plan on moving Dye for another prospect like Homer Bailey. Hi BearSox. I'm The Point. Nice to meet you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) So I thought we only had one President when it came to forgein policy? If so why is Biden going to places like Pakistan and Afghanistan? Its nice to see Obama is already going to duck all of the tough politics to hide behind Bush. Like what, say, Israel? His stance on that is not much different from Bush's, if at all. On other stuff, if he said more, I'm 100% positive he'd get criticized for upstaging the current president/being a prima donna.

I was going to post that, but I really don't want to acknowledge his existence anymore. Every single time, without fail, that he opens his mouth, he confirms to me that he is stupid, perhaps mildly retarded.

I'm beyond caring about Israel or the Palestinians anymore. Same s*** every couple of years, and the Israelis are not choir boys either.

Good god, I would not mind Bobby Abreu on this team at all, but to have him in CF? Ouch... hell, Josh Fields would probably be better (and he sucks bad in the OF so this is not saying much, but that's the point).

Islam's got its whole other set of behavior that's a problem that doesn't have anything to do with human shields or whatever, it's a little too deep for me to be able to explain quickly.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 03:05 AM) So much for the NFC West being weaker than the NFC North. You were the only one actually arguing this that I can recall. Nobody really cares, the Seahawks and the Rams are still laughingstocks, the 49ers still suck but are improving finally, and even though they're in the NFC Championship, the Cardinals are still a 7-loss team who went 2-4 down the stretch but they clinched early so it doesn't matter because he division sucks. Why do you bring the NFC North into everything?

I think I said this earlier but I'm rooting for AZ specifically to see if it can f*** up the space-time continuum. Although it may have taken a Lions-Cardinals game to do that.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldn...BUSH_S1.article Great for a laugh. I found this gem in the comments: Either: a. he is confusing Saddam Hussein with Mohammed Omar b. he crossed the invasion of Afghanistan with the invasion of Iraq in his mind c. he still buys the old party line that Iraq was connected to 9-11, even though that was proven wrong a long time ago and he isn't aware that al-Qaida operations like that are compartmentalized anyway d. he has no idea what he's talking about e. he is legitimately retarded and I should back off

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) except pittsburgh I wasn't counting them, I should've used different words.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) like those were not the picks of 90% of the country. Picking all home teams in the second round is lazy, hence I laugh this week when every home team lost.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 05:54 PM) ADD and ADHD are different. There is no ADD anymore, the term is obsolete. /says my friend who is in a PhD psych program

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Tell me someone did the cabbage patch. Cha-cha slide and the Cupid Shuffle which are pretty mild. But then they started playing stuff like Lil' Jon and they were actually dancing which was funny as hell.

So last night my job had a big party and there were like 900 people there. People start drinking and doing funny things. One such thing was a group of middle-aged (i.e., about 50) white people who were dancing to hip-hop. What an awesomely hilarious thing to watch.

I want to know how someone gets away with doing that since it's so BLATANTLY illegal.

Doing that makes my nose itch though.

So, anyone else going? The state of MD, never one to miss an opportunity to collect revenue, is getting in on the gouging, round trip commuter train tickets to DC on the 20th are 25 dollars each. That's minor compared to what everyone else is doing though.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) The next time you are drunk, take a plugged in alarm clock and just move it around in front of your face in the dark, preferably right before you go to sleep. It's awesome because you'll see the alarm clock itself moving at regular speed but the LED lights will be slower and they'll just lag behind the alarm clock about a second. Atleast they did for me last night. I was entertained in my drunken state for a good 5 minutes. Look at an alarm clock and do a raspberry or buzz your lips or something and the LED lights bounce.
