    Has the tax deduction component to it. It's worth a mention.

    So I gracefully depart for the day (though I reserve the right, as always, to P.S. if some nerd gets out of hand).

    By the way I've never denied being a nerd myself, but I'd rather not field that question directly. You think Clinton's grand jury testimony was nuanced and hair-splitting, I'd blow him out of the water.

    That's a warning to the phony brave.

  • P.S.

    Crawling along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare.....Crawling, slithering. Surviving.

    Bleacher after bleacher. Sportsbar after sportsbar. Fantasy league after fantasy league. Nerd after nerd....... We have to have men who are moral and at the same time are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling. Without passion, without judgement.........without judgement. Because it's judgement that defeats us.

  • I Get Up In The Evening

    [Read the article: Romney: "Freedom requires religion" ]

    And I ain't got nothing to say,

    I come home in the morning,

    I go to bed feelin' the same way,

    I ain't nothing but tired,

    Man I'm just tired and bored with myself.

    Hey there Hillary,

    I could use just a little help.

    You can't start a fire,

    You can't start a fire without a spark,

    This gun's for hire,

    Even if we're just dancing in the dark.

    When it comes to rockin' she's the Queen

    I go to dance on Saturday night

    We're all alone and I hold Hillary tight

    But she lives on the twentieth floor up town

    The elevator's broken down

    So I walk one two flight three flight four

    Five six seven flight eight flight more

    Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to sag

    Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag

    Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

    Well she called me up on the telephone

    Said "come on over baby I'm all alone"

    I said "baby you're mighty sweet

    But I'm in bed with the achin' feet"

    This went on for a couple of days

    But I could not stay away

    So I walk one two flight three flight four

    Five six seven flight eight flight more

    Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to sag

    Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag

    Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

    And if Hillary wants to,

    Well she can rest her weary head right on me.

    We all need someone we can cream on,

    And if she wants to,

    Well she can cream on me.

    [Read the article: Harry Reid's pro-life stance vs. Ron Paul's ]

    Maybe, possibly, if that politician clearly and repeatedly states a moral opposition to abortion, and a desire to find non-legislative means to reduce abortion. Clearly and repeatedly staing that it should remain legal.

    However, if that politician wants to stick their snout into that personal of an issue and criminalize it, thus leading us backward in time, then they can't be trusted--ckeck that--they CAN be trusted to attempt to lead us backward in time on other personal and privacy issues.

    Opposing abortion on moral grounds is well within bounds. Making it illegal--state or federal--or wanting to make it illegal, is an extreme nutcase position.

  • The Asterisk

    Bonds was the best overall player in baseball history--power, speed, defense combo--before steroids.

    He was a devestating lead off hitter, a more devestating middle of the line-up hitter, and a gold glover on defense. Before steroids.

    Should find a spot for him until his on base percentage falls below .400, which from the looks of things would probably keep him playing until he's past 50.

    These clowns cry out their moral outrage at the steroid era, yet they have twinkling eyes and intense nostalgia as they recite and recall the stats, the heroes, the legends, and the stories of the glory days of Ruth, Gehrig and the all white league era.

  • Aaron

    [Read the article: Your cheating stars]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Never saw anything remotely approaching the relief pitching Bonds dealt with............Also Aaron played in much more friendly home run ballparks.....And of course we have the situation of Bonds having more than a thousand more walks than Aaron.

  • In 1993

    [Read the article: Your cheating stars]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Long before he used steroids, Bonds had 46 homers, 123 RBIs, 129 runs scored, 126 walks, 29 stolen bases, a .336 batting average, a .458 on base percentage, and a .677 slugging average.

    Overall that is superior, clearly superior to any of Aaron's individual seasons.

  • LMAO At The "Reverence" For Aaron

    This is a VERY recent developement employed towards the hate of Bonds. It's largely bogus.

  • Here's The Racial Angle

    [Read the article: Your cheating stars]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's very difficult to swallow any preaching from any 21st century white American, about cheating or anything else, considering the tactics and techniques whites have used in this country to come to a position of dominance in almost everything.

    The condemnation of cheating is a bit tardy. This country was built on cheating and brute force. In a figurative sense, America IS steroids. Always has been.

    Well, a Supreme Court made up mostly of republican appointees (some by his daddy) said he did.

    I don't think Bonds could go running to Scalia and the boys.
