  1. I don't want to watch a big clod stand and wait for a fat pitch, then gimp his way back to the dugout and spit seeds. Walk, strikeout, homer baseball is far more boring than watching a team actually work to score some runs. If runs are at more of a premium then players like Trout are even more valuable and there's room for a greater diversity in roster building.
  2. Which is why were still fighting in Afghanistan 12 years later.
  3. You tell me, with a straight face, that you believe there would have been the troop levels and national resolve to invade Iraq without 9/11 and I'll take your word for it.
  4. Yes. And for the final 5 of the 7 years before he was elected and the better part of the first 3 after he was elected the troops who enlisted to battle Al Qaeda and theTaliban were diverted to Iraq instead. In my narrowly functioning brain this is a major factor in determining why were still in Afghanistan.
  5. All those bases in South Korea and Japan help keep China (and Russia) from getting too comfortable. They are mostly defensive and interceptor type equipment but the provisions are in place to get a striking force ready pretty quickly. the North Koreans know they cannot survive an actual war with us and that an invasion of South Korea would result in massive casualties and defections with very little positive result. I still think it's just a way to get the world to bail them out while making it appear to their people that it was their strength and resolve that caused us all to cave.
  6. Or maybe hes asking the ones responsible for the 8 year detour into Iraq.
  7. The girl with the microscope looks like my oldest daughter.
  8. I like the idea that it's the students who are pushing the change. The next generation will be much less focused on race.
  9. I'm not defending their actions. Just pointing out that they always use the same justification while I doubt the politicians of NC would ever use the Bible to justify their actions when they can argue an interpretation of the Constitution.
  10. Where do the Latin and Asian kids go? Which water fountain do they use?
  11. If I kicked you square in the nuts then slapped my own wrist would that make you feel like I was sympathetic to your plight?
  12. No they are not like the Taliban. The Taliban live their religious beliefs 24/7 and not just when it suits their narrow minded agenda.
  13. I do. I hate the DH. Everyone should be a full participant in the game.
  14. It would be a nicer gesture if he took all 20,000 of those dollar bills and shoved them up his rear end.
  15. Whenever I'm late for something I tell them its because "people kept ringing the bell". Some people get it and even play along. Most people give the same look they give when you ask them to add two 3 digit numbers together in their head.
  16. If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. - James Madison
  17. I feel for you. One day you just realize your kids aren't kids and what's left of your hair is grey. My oldest daughter, the first of my trio of perfect angels, turned 21 last month. One of my gifts to her was a bottle of single malt scotch. She said she'll save some for my 50th birthday next year.
  18. The lesbian cousin of Chief Justice John Roberts. Tasty
  19. I thought it was understood that the government was owned and operated by megaconglomerate corporations who act with impunity and if they lose a case they just pass the cost onto the consumer.
  20. You heard it here first. Immigration reform is about the global labor market. Once those 12 million illegals can fill out an I-9 then wages will land in the basement. Assume otherwise at your own risk.
