Sounds like peace of mind was worth a lot more than any payment. One great dad beats two lousy parents any day, which is what so many kids have to contend with.

Wow, that sucks man, and I agree with your doubt. Depending on your personal circumstances, you should really consider an appeal -- or, since child support orders (or lack thereof) are modifiable and can therefore be challeneged in other jurisidictions (if you can get jurisdiction in another state). (disclaimer: I am a lawyer, but this is only casual advice....)

good good -- no intent to offend (and carry on watching the game)

you were saying men don't have the right to choose about terminating a pregnancy, so the joke was that she didn't give you the choice to watch the game.....sorry, thought you'd like that one actually..... See: Independent/Democratic Anger Management . Sorry, again, no link.

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/immigration/ Ya know, I thought there might be one man in the history of time who has done that. Well done sir.

I think its clear he should be allowed to become an American citizen.

because his wife won't give him the choice.

"Just when I think I'm out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!"

As a penis-carrying member of the male gender, I can't think of anything more invasive than wearing a condom ...........(except maybe mood swings, weight gain........oh, and carrying a baby in your body). fair enough. i'm cool with blaming the old man.

Why do all political debates have to end up at the dead end topic of abortion? Its one of many important issues and also the one issue 99.9% of people will never change their minds about -- especially during an emotional discussion on a music message board. I miss the days (hours) of reading inappropriately sexist comments about Sarah Palin, and debating which of two inexperienced politicians have the least experience. Care-free, happier times, and gas only cost $4.10/gallon.

See: Republican Anger Management . Couldn't find the link for a class near you, sorry man.

I wanna hang out with you. Next time you get married I expect an invite. I kid because I love. CONGRATS!

I acknoledged in my post you were referring to your experience, but the implication is broader than that. And some men (and women) probably don't agree with you that the bigger issue is keeping government off your body, so maybe that's why they don't "realize it," as if it were fact. Overall, I agree with your statements about retaining negative liberty in regard to our bodies, but disagree that concern is the "bigger issue" in regard to abortion. BTW -- ty for the links on Palin's evolution stance, that was informative and basically answered the question I had hoped for in future debates.

Yeah, I'm a left-leaning independent (pretty far left actually), and I found nothing outrageous about the quotes from Palin's church. The 2nd coming of Jesus is a pretty commonly held belief in our society -- I read those quotes waiting for the wacky radical Christian line, but it never came -- so I fail to see what warrants all the reactions. I do, however, hope they ask her if she believes in evolution at the debates. We need an administration that acknowledges the existence of science. That's a pretty widespread indictment of the male gender. Most men I know do care about abortion

The strength of BT was the lack of cohesion and organic creation of music that happened with that specific lineup -- at that specific point in their lives. I highly doubt I would like the record half as much if a different lineup or fashion of recording was employed. I think SBS is a good record, but strongly disagree that it is better than BT and ST. The tension in those two albums created some of Wilco's best moments. But even though SBS is my second-least favorite Wilco album, I still enjoy it, and I'm glad they went that direction. I think it was a healthy progression for them as a

As long as she consults the Constitution before and after that meeting.......

Its about credibility. She does give him some good ol' "impeachment insurance" though. Too bad he has to get elected first.

Ah -- I believe I said "intriguing" not "damning." Its intriguing that while being considered for a VP position for Republicans, she would make a public statement saying ANYTHING in support of Obama in the same month as the VP selection. And personally, I find it very intriguing that McCain's Vice President pick doesn't know what a vice president does. Sounds highly relevant to me, considering that's the job she wants to be elected for.

True, and I can definitely see that. Other side is Romney helps greatly in Michigan and on the economy. I've personally never been able to take him seriously though. Maybe McCain couldn't either.

Solace -- has Obama hired you yet? He really should. Two great posts (see vid on other page). The news channels don't offer anything half as intriguing.

If the McCain camp thinks Hillary Clinton supporters will support an inexperienced, pro-life, gun-toting, beauty queen -- then they fatally miscalculated (for the record, I don't personally think any of those things are terribly important, particularily the last -- but others will). I think the McCain camp is smarter than that, and the choice was more likely to shore up staunch conservative support that was apprehensive to trust McCain. Overall, I think it will prove to be a daring, but poor choice. McCain needs help in the eastern midwest (Indiana, Mich., Penn., Ohio) and economic credi

Looks great. I'm looking for something unique though. Specifically, a guitar that teaches me how to play it. Will pay retail.

Fer sure. SBS's lyrics are consistently solid, but ST's lyrics are absolutely devastating at times. Jar and Via Chicago are standouts, but I also think Candyfloss ("bitter diamond drunks") is overlooked and too easily dismissed (maybe b/c its hidden : ).

I completely agree and would also rank them lyrically the same way except for the SBS and ST swap. Half the reason AGIB is my favorite Wilco album, and half the reason Wilco is one of my favorite bands is because of lyrical excellence. There really are very few outstanding lyricists out there who also put out quality music.
