Duck-Billed Catechist

Kate was rooting for the Phils and had the exact same complaint about those boos.

Fukudome is more of a "take this guy off our hands and we'll pay most his salary"piece than an actual trade asset at this point.

In context, it seems that Biden was using 150K as example, not as a cut-off.

Anyone watching this thing? I just put it on halfway through. Seems better conceived than Ross Perot's version, though less substantial.

My understanding of the full WBEZ interview, by the way, was that he was affirming the judicial stance that the constitution only guarantees negative liberties.

This TB team is better than that Rockies team.

This thread inspired me to vote on my lunch break.

Nope. I'll look it up, though.

Edit: It's almost like you're saying "I see you had no problem when the other basketball team threw the ball into the wrong hoop, but you were mad as hell when your team did it! Gotcha!"

Ok...and? You seem to imply it's somehow hypocritical.
