I agree, the majority of homeless people are either lazy or drug addicts. They deserve no aid. But what are we supposed to do with the ones who have serious mental conditions? Just let them rot? (By the way, I'm legitimately undecided on this issue. Not trying to stir the pot.)

Hi RallyMo! Long time no talk, buddy.

good point.

That's an awful story. Nevertheless, the title is a little bit misleading. "Gosnell's abortion atrocities no 'aberration'" makes it seem like these kinds of grotesque procedures are happening all over the country. They might not be aberrations for Gosnell, or his clinic in PA. But I think it's safe to say that they would be considered an aberration outside of his clinic.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

I think it was closer to 475 than 435. Nevertheless, whose job is it to come up with these estimates, and how does he do it? Is there equipment involved, or does some guy just pull a number out of his a$$?

At least these players, overpaid or not, are still worth watching. Remember when this team's "big name" acquisitions consisted of Cecil Fielder, Eddie Murray, Jack McDowell, and Bo Jackson after like ten major knee operations? Granted, we weren't paying them much...but still. I don't think I'll ever be able to wipe clean the stains those nightmarish memories left on my young and impressionable mind. In regards to the marketing department: I'm with you, YK. They're awful. But is this really anything new? I mean, the "take me out to A ballgame" cover by Bristol to Memory is worse than nails on a chalkboard; the concept of "Angel girls" is ridiculous on so many levels; the outfield wall at the Big A probably has more advertisements than the combined outfield walls of every other stadium in major league baseball. I understand that some of this is necessary in order to maintain the cost of players salaries and stadium upkeep--but at what point does the integrity of the game come into question?
