Rocky

MAINSTREAM Media is CORPORATIONIST, which has reflected the politics of the first half of the first decade of the third millenium (A.D). (hint: until last week, extreme right-wing) Were they to tell both side ????????????? My hunch is those who don't see more than one angle to the news may not be looking very closely. "we might have a different perspective of what is truly happening." Are you saying that your perspective is dependent on someone else giving it to you? That's not how I got mine. And does the TALK RADIO you listen to give "both sides?" Or does someone, with bias they don't even deny, on that broadcast outlet tell you what the "other side" is?

It sure beats the alternative!

Now THAT was FUNNY!!!! :jump: I'm REALLY glad I didn't have a mouth full of coffee when I read that!

People sometimes say to me, Hey Rocky... HOW can you be so F***ing FUNNY! Ya know what I tell 'em? I tell 'em -- every night before I go out on stage, I put a slice of baloney in EACH shoe... and when I go out on stage... I FEEEELL FUNNY!!!

All right folks, before we go for a run to rack up them aerobics points, I want everyone to turn in their Sing Along The Way's to number 51 ... Simon, will you lead the singing?? Oh, yes, let's do our jumping jacks too!

Thanks for this history lesson David... and for the song file Dr. Sudo... As I was overseas on Nov 10, 1975, I had really never heard of this history... but obviously had subsequently heard the song, without realizing its significance. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the subject of some of the answers on Jeopardy... or else I'd have known even less than I did... I never realized until now that it was so contemporary. Thanks

T U niKa... and here's to you and all our other freedom lovin friends and fans!

Are you sure? It is FAUX News after all... Wasn't it them same dudes (and dudettes) that on election day couldn't bring themselves to say the Dems had a big lead... instead the caption read "one PARTY has a big lead"? :wacko: What's this smiley supposed to mean? :ph34r:

I know what ya mean there Hiway... but JDD seems to get it going when he plays the Dbacks... I don't know if it has anything to do with his little bro' having an outstanding rookie season at SS for the snakes... but Stephen Drew was one of the bright spots for the Arizona franchise this year...

And hearty, JOYFUL A M E N to that from little ol' trouble maker me! (And I voted for ONE Republican this time... someone I know and trust). But I also am as tickled as can be because I cast one of the votes that went a long way toward giving them elephants one of their most surprising losses... :jump: The TIMES they are a changin'!

Tommy, I thought the pick you put on the baseball thread was funnier!

Tommy stRanger... your image seems to have been hijacked! I hope it WAS funny! :)

Didja hear the one about the.... oh, I forgot. I hope all you red-blooded American 9th corpse and fans made it to the polls today...

I LOVE Onions!!! Hey anybody know this guy that just got hired to replace Showalter in Tejas? Ron Washington?

What a breath of fresh air it must be -- in the middle of a horrible situation -- for that church, Haggard himself, and Mrs. Haggard to hit it head on with a candor we did not see in TWI. Given that we are all, obviously, in need of a savior, I can't help but look at that guy with a sense of compassion, rather than indignation. Most certainly, his removal from his job was necessary and appropriate, but reconciliation seems possible in a way that would not be if all the parties to the situation remained in adamant public denial of what took place and who was responsible. It takes guts and a certain level of integrity to get that honest, which some cannot even do when so obviously caught in it. btw, I wrote this after reading Haggard's letter, one by his wife to the congregation, and a press release from the church overseers.

Indeed!

Simon, I find it completely reasonable that Arte would be talking about the Angels, Jeff Weaver and the Cardinals (since the Cards won the WS)... and not at all surprising that he didn't have anything to say about the Dbacks.... I'm sure he's a great guy... but if his politics are like that other baseball team owner who ran for (became) prez, I say I hope Arte sticks to baseball... it apparently has been berry, berry goood to him! :)

It's not always a GUY!!! :blink: but(t) ya gotta make sure the ol' prostate doesn't take ya down! and Simon already uses reading glasses, I think. Otherwise, he seems to be in good health (for a probable opponent of Arizona propositions 201 and 206 though we haven't discussed it)...

That's good because it's a proprietary secret (that means I might be willing to sell it, but not to put it in the public domain)! Can't find it! But I also can't understand how you could possibly offend anyone? Rhino said: Who'd even want to? And since "rhino" was (I understood) the latin word for NOSE -- as in RhinoPLASTY (a nose job) or RhinITIS (nasal allegies or infection) -- what would we do without you to SNIFF out the facts...?

Ding, ding, ding... CORRECT. Should we have a virtual surprise party for him here?

Or Leo Mazzone... (but I suppose not too many GS baseball fans loyal to the O's these days).

Not only THAT, but one of our own will hit the big FIVE-OH this weekend..... (and it's not me... I hit that mark almost two years ago). :dance:

I agree completely... May he live long and (continue to) prosper.

Indeed... honestly, where's Vin Scully when you need him?

I suppose, from a superstitious point of view. However, that year (2003) they had a good season, and were doing well in the playoffs until a certain point in time (not from a superstitious way of looking at it) in that year's playoffs. Of course, their performance since 2003 may support your supposition.
