LA Dodgers Opener: Joe Torre Shows He’s Got it
So the home opener for the Dodgers today showed that even with a new team and some pretty inexperienced players Joe Torre has what it takes to win baseball games. What I would live to see more than anything else is for Joe to destroy the Yankees in a sweep of the 2008 World Series.
While I'm not sure if this is very likely since the Yankees have the money to buy the talent they need I think Georgie in the Bronx basically gave away one of the best managers that the game has seen in quite some time. I would argue that even though my Red Sox have won the World Series two times in the past four years, there is not one year where the Yankees did not put up a strong fight for the AL East title. I think the fact that Joe also won so many of the national titles with the Yankees is a testament to his ability to manage a team and why you would get rid of a successful manager is beyond me.
I think this is yet another situation where Georgie threw a temper tantrum and decided that if his managers couldn't always win the World Series then they weren't going to be part of his team. I hope this proves to be a huge mistake for the Yankees, I still don't know one Yankees fan that can believe they fired Torre and they deserve what is coming their way for doing so.
Bush: Mr. Ethics Himself
"I am a Bush lover. The reason that I'm a President Bush lover is because he's fair, he's a good president, and he cares about values and morals; something that we can't say about a lot of other of our public officials. And I am a Republican, and I did pick up a rifle and I did fight for this country." - Hagerstown
So he cares about values and Morals? When does going to war for a lie constitute a moral act? When does causing tens of thousands to lose their lives in a war that was a complete waste a moral act? When did morals include vetoing federal research grants for stem cells that could potentially fix numerous nervous system problems? When did supporting a clearly ineffective abstinence only sex education policy in Africa constitute as a morally sound thing to do when the policy is a complete failure?
I would argue he is also one of the least "Fair" presidents that we have seen in a long time. How many tax dollars did you save compared to the millionaires in this country under him? How have your job prospects faired during his tenure in office? I'll take a guess and argue that many of the jobs you might be looking for are no longer in the US.
The only thing that have faired well under George Bush are his own interests, the religious right, and the growth of hatred for the US among the rest of the humans on Earth. We are heading for one of the biggest shocks to our economy in a long time, our military is in shambles, we are in a war that we cannot ever "win" nor extricate ourselves from, and I honestly don't know if we can repair the damage we have done to our standing in the world community. Your rifle is not going to solve any of these problems and if you are a true fiscally conservative republican (which is actually what republicans are historically known for) you would not support George Bush.
Hillary Clinton: Not the Bra Burner This Person Thinks She Is
"For all the women who wanted women's rights in the '60s: Now you have a chance at having a female president with many years of experience, and you're messing it up. You're voting for the wrong candidate. You're a lot of talk. If you're into women's rights, vote for Clinton." - Hagerstown
And if you mean by "women's rights" you mean a woman who stays with a cheating husband to further her own political career then I guess you are right. Hillary Clinton is not a women's rights advocate, or if she is then it is only because she is a woman. She is the most conservative democrat in the race currently and last time I checked the 60's bra burners were not overly conservative. The only thing you'd be messing up by not voting for Hillary Clinton is the chances for her ruining the country.
I Never Seen this New Fangled Math Before!
"I seen in the paper where they gave that Brandon Morris life in prison. He's a young kid. Imagine if he lives another 50 years - this all I'm saying - what's it gonna cost the state? I saw the other day where it costs $30,000 a year for each inmate. If he lives another 50 years - I just figured it out - it's gonna cost the taxpayers $2,280,000." - Funkstown
Mail Call - The Herald-Mail Online - News for Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
So I just though I would reiterate that some people in this area really need to refrain from ever attempting to do math that will result in some type of public display of their work. I'm sorry Funkstown, but last time I checked, $30,000 x 50 = $1,500,000 which means no one knows where your $2,280,000 number came from. Now if you had stated that he will live for another 76 years then you would be dead on and I would be going "Yay Funkstown! You can multiply correctly!" but alas, I cannot be so cheerful because you have proven that you can not multiply numbers very well at all. My advice... Get a calculator.
