Wow that was terrible.

Bad ending to a good at-bat.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:48 PM) Bet it felt good too...... Like saying you're going to win the Powerball this weekend. You mean I'm not going to win the Powerball this weekend? WTF!

That was a weak ass hit, but I will absolutely take it.

I hate Torii Hunter a lot.

QUOTE (chisoxdavid @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:26 PM) Is this some sort of inside joke? Yes

Nice play by Owens... doesn't make up for the baserunning mistake though.

I was going to type "what the f*** was Owens thinking" but like 10 people did already.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) O'Reilly's definitely a conservative but is nowhere near as partisan or nasty as Rush, Hannity, Savage, etc. Nor does he toe the GOP party line. Yeah, I agree with that. I can't even stand to look at Hannity's face. O'Reilly is opinonated as hell, and sometimes he goes off on these rants where he doesn't know what he's talking about, but he's mostly fair. As long as the person he's interviewing doesn't try to bulls*** him.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:44 PM) Its actually on the ncb site. I am sure they would squash it were it to make it to Youtube. She sounded real happy. It says something to the effect of "Find Andrea Mitchell."

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) Another thing I found amusing was this little exchange after the McCain speech. Carl Rove : "Hey look, it's David Gregory from NBC!" (points at David Gregory). Crowd: "BOOOOOOO" I wonder how Rove could've shown up to McCain's convention in good conscience after what he did to him in 2000? I am, of course, assuming Rove HAS a conscience.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) The GOP has Bobby Jindal, thats pretty much their only prominent minority member other than Alan Keyes (who they've pretty much disowned because he's crazy). Michael Steele isn't crazy. He doesn't hold any elected office atm though so he doesn't really count.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) Dean making a tactless comment certainly isn't completely out of left field. Haha. Touche.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 05:38 PM) The democratic party has a LOT more african-american voters because they've somehow convinced a lot of voters from that group that even despite how the republican party was started in the first place, the GOP hates black people. Besides african-americans, both parties have a pretty equal amount of diversity, it's just that one group that the democrats have put into a trance to almost exclusively vote for them. I mean there are certainly african-americans that vote for the democrats due to the issue, but I think some just do it because "everybody else does". That's just the view of the white guy though. Bmags hit on this already but it got the way it is now with the 60s civil rights legislation and Nixon's Southern Strategy. It's been that way ever since.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) You saw only about 8 people who weren't white at the RNC because the crowd consists of almost all delegates. BTW, Michael Steele (the head of GOPAC) spoke early on Wednesday. I'm just saying. Dean called it "the white party." So we see the convention, and it's like 95% white. Dean may have said it pretty tactlessly, but what he said wasn't completely out of left field.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) The GOP is as much a rainbow as the Dems. The GOP just doesn't promote it that way. And with the pressure on minorities to vote Dem, I imagine there are a lot of GOP voting minorities. It is just the GOP doesn't trot them out for a photo op and make examples of them. Ok, I'm going to stir the pot here. As I watched the RNC I saw like 8 people who weren't white. I noticed the people waving the cowboy hats more than anything else. There weren't a whole lot of minority speakers, not because the GOP didn't let them or anything, but because there really weren't that many to choose from. That's just how it is, really.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) I find it odd that there was apparently no discussion of what Palin may have objected to, and that the librarian's immediate response was, "No!" It's kind of difficult for me to draw a conclusion from that, given that I don't know if Palen wanted nude photograph/artwork or the local copy of Huckleberry Finn removed. As for the trooper firing, this guys has admitted to tasering a child and was apparently sanctioned (a laughable slap on the wrist) for almost two dozen violations by his department, including drinking while driving a police car. And that's on top of the alleged threats against Palin's father and sister. I know an untenured Illinois public school teacher who was fired for a picture of what appeared to be him smoking from a bong on his Facebook page, so I find it laughable that this Wooten guy is still allowed to carry a badge and a gun and that Palin is being criticized by removing the guy who refused to fire his violent/alcoholic ass. Maybe I'm biased because I support the ticket, but I don't see how Palin can be blamed for fighting obvious corruption in the police department just because her extended family fell victim to it. I reserve judgment one way or another until I find out she did or didn't do something wrong.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) Of course. But they are both ridiculous. I've actually seen Obama compared to Hitler - obviously on the Internet where people are stupid - because of his speaking abilities. How horribly inaccurate. Give the man some respect and give him the proper comparison - Joseph Stalin

Does anybody know how to make a noose?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) I bet if I put "Hitler was a great public speaker" on my signature, you'd get pretty upset. Stupid comparisons are just that, stupid. Well, that statement wouldn't be inaccurate. Technically neither was Big Sqwert's.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) f*** the what did you do? He had one for McCain and one for Obama, I thought it was a DP and I deleted it.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) I was. Mostly the use of Mrs. They use it in all the debates. (I remember Norm Coleman having to address Walter Mondale as Vice President.) I always thought it was the polite thing to do to refer to people by their titles. And I think demoting them is a common sign of disrespect. (Like using first names instead of family names--it will be interesting to see if Sarah Palin becomes Sarah or Palin in the media.) Since I'm not one of their peers I refer to all politicians by their last name by default with no title attached, I don't care who they are. Only if I'm writing or saying something formal do I put their title on it, for example I wrote Dick Durbin once and obviously I wrote to him "Senator Durbin." edit: and now I see your edit, which agrees with what I just wrote

You're objecting to the fact that he didn't use her proper title? I didn't know that people did that outside of the military.
