Re: Sox vs Yanks Boring? Maybe, But Ratings Huge
Uh, the ratings were big because the game went on so long that they picked up the audience following the nightly news on the East Coast (once the news was over at 11:30 - sports that run past that time always post big numbers) and they picked up the West Coast audience. But as Verducci said in his a...

Re: Texas Town runs out of water
TM, I'll read your links when I have more time as they seem quite lengthy (working on a project right now), and I get that one thing like this drought doesn't mean a direct link to climate change, but my point is that the EPA study in 1993 was trying to help Texas prepare for an increasing amount o...

Wow thats pretty lame. Can I get a link to the article?

Re: It's Real: Obama Admin To Scrap Mandatory K-12 Testing
IMO, this could be a chance for teacher's unions to get back in front of the issue of teacher assessment and finally start leading this issue again rather than fighting it. I come from a teaching background - parents were teachers, sister a teacher, and my wife is a teacher. Like any profession, the...

Re: Phillies Parade
So, pitcher throws at batter for no reason other than his team has been getting dominated throughout a series. Catcher steps between them and starts trying to tackle people. Batter gets three-game suspension. Pitcher and catcher get no games suspended. Nice. (Yes, I realize the suspension is more a...

Re: Breaking: 31 US troops killed in Afghanistan
The shithook was downed by fire, and the OBL one was a case of losing lift trying to hover in a tight area. Pilots, techs, and equipment all did their jobs. Yep.

I'm not sure that building roads and having a military is big government. He didn't claim that big oil was a victim, he responded to your implication that big oil is a victimizer. I was only partly speaking to Gannon there. If you were a fisherman in Alaska, Exxon is most certainly a victimizer. An...

It's also kind of unfortunate that it's come to this in our politics that you have to defend a perfectly qualified candidate for a position from this kind of hysteria. What do you mean "it's come to this"? There's always been biases and bigotry against members from countless groups and re...

anti-gay marriage is a Christian law? I'm pretty sure there is a raft of different religions that all have what would be considered negative views of homosexuality.

You know, we are still the largest manufacturing country in the world (obviously China is about to overtake us - I'm sure we're in the gray area where they may have or may not have, depending on your source) so it's not like we aren't making things.
