Yo...

And don't forget about ... Bad New Bears Damn Yankees

She left quite an impact, uhn?

I don't get the high marks for Fox news. It's not that I find fault with the idea that a news-consumer might prefer his news from the right or from the left, but there are many thinking outlets to which one could turn to achieve this (The New Republic, The National Review, etc.). What I find most objectionable about Fox is not that it's biased (which it is), but that it panders to the lowest common denominator.

Hmmm . . . statistical abnormality is no basis for determining who will be a bad parent, any more than statistical normality predicts good parenting. Certainly we would not want to use this as a justification to prevent individuals with obvious deviating characteristics (say, nanism) from becoming parents. As to whether children of gay parents fare less well than children from traditional families, that may well be true, just as it is true for children who are raised in poverty or children who are raised by divorced parents. It would require some stretch to say that one group was more disadvantaged than the other (and some pretty fancy statistical footwork, too). So, if we are gauging social behavior on statistics, let's explain why one statistically similar group is accepted by society and another is not. No, we must dig deeper than the mere mean, median, and mode.

For me, for now, it's enough to see the word "buyer" by the "Marlins."

Lcastillo, are you certain these people were asked to leave for the simple reason that they did not stand up during "God Bless America"? Is it possible they were asked to leave for different reasons? If this were true, it would be a huge scandal.

The stats are legitimate, but how on earth you could single one thing out of the hundreds which portend the fall of Rome is beyond me.

It seems like it's about 50-50 in the games I go to: about 1/2 the time that they sing "God Bless America" they don't sing "Take Me Out."

I'm not against it, but I don't like it when it substitutes for "Take me Out to the Ball Game." Both of them together is just fine. However, I don't feel like I've gone to a ball game unless I sing "Take me out ..."

Believe me, I am not the biggest Penny fan in the world, but he has big time ability and will get it together. 444136[/snapback] What he said. :thumbup

Thanks, korean fan; that was great! :arms

I'm curious too. If anyone hears anything that sheds more insight into this, plese post.

The biggest question is: Why would the campaign even bother with the effort and expense? I'm pretty sure that about 90% of Southern Baptists would be voting for Bush without additional encouragement. But, then again, I'm not surprised. Why should the campaign spend its resources any more wisely than the administration has over the last 3 1/2 years?

Excellent analogy, tonyi. Even though it was propaganda, Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will is watchable even today. It is next to impossible to imagine anyone watching Fahrenheit 9/11 six months from now.

Now I'm intrigued. In what context did this picture appear in a law book? Who sued who? . . . whom? . . . whatever.

No, you were talking about Aristotle and his possible (violent) responses to present-day political figures. But, hey, if you were just whistling Dixie that's fine, too.

Since we are engaging in historical extrapolation, what would Aristotle think of Bush & company?

So, like in Monty Python's The Holy Grail, you didn't go away so he did indeed "taunt you for the second time."

He needs work, but considering all the parts of the game that aren't coming together for the Marlins, we can spare him a little patience.

A starter for a bat? No, no, no! Absolutely not!

it's the woman that gets knocked up, so she should be the one responsible for the birth control Do you think that argument will fly when you are standing in front of a judge in a paternity suit? Do you think she will excuse you from paying child-support when you say, "Hey, Judge, I'm just a man. Birth-control was her responsibility"? Good luck with that.

As long as we are pulling starters from the bullpen, I don't think Oliver should be overlooked. We're spinning our wheels until Beckett's better anyway.
