Win nonwithstanding, any self respecting Sox fan should be fucking ashaming by those circa-85 NJ Devils jerseys.

Even you, Ty - the defender of everything - cannot defend this travesty.

I believe you missed the post above where I said they were terrible.

I appreciate the notion of honoring Red Auerbach, but surely there was a better way to do it. Paint the left-field wall green?

Or rally for five runs in the bottom of the eighth to pin a loss on Rivera. That would work, too.

4 of our 5 starting pitchers are on the DL, and its April. Whatever.

Now, if I wanted to stay and chat, I would point out that the shitbags from the Democrats leading internet site are mourning and defending the psycho piece of shit that slaughtered all those folks in Blacksburg.

Then again, why bother. Your Left will defend anything.

Know/Create? your enemy

For awhile I read lgf every day, then I realized it made me too angry and depressed, so I stopped. to live in Detroit and hate Arabs is like being a KKK guy in the NBA. It would be tough.

Away from LGF now, I can see the guy pumps up every little thing into further proof we're careening out of control*. This story is a prime example:
  • A 14-year-old Somali boy, whose mother asked that his name not be published, said he was eating lunch with four other Somali students on April 11. He noticed many others in the cafeteria “standing up, looking at us.”

    One boy came near, began laughing and threw a bag on the table while other students laughed and said, ‘Good job.’“

    ”We didn’t know what was in this bag,“ the boy said. ”One of my friends reached inside it. It was a big ham steak. There were five of us at the table, all Somali. It was intended for us.“

    The boy said he looked up at students he thought were his friends. ”I felt angered, offended.“

    He suddenly felt like he was alone. ”At the school the next day, I didn’t feel safe. I felt like everybody was against me. Before I felt like I fit in, and everything was normal.“

    He began to think white students didn’t like him, and the act was their way of letting him know. On Thursday, several students came up to him and said, ”Those guys who did it were jerks. I apologize for them, and I hope you feel better.“

    The boy said they did make him feel better. ”But for the rest of my life when I remember middle school, this will pop up right away.“

That is a real crappy thing to do to a kid, and not only because the kids are Islamic; if the kid was a Jew we would probably hear about it.

Now go read how lgf mocks the reaction from the Somali kids and Islamic groups, that anyone was offended is evidence that we are backing down.

*I think we might be careening a little out of control, but LGF has us off the tracks all ready. To me the presence of a free prosperous Islamic population in the States is our best weapon against the thugs.

Certainly there is trumped up crap like the 6 Imans on a plane, but there are lines people shouldn't cross, and when they are, Islamic people have as much a right to complain as I do.

No, Hank, I don't think you're racist and I do know there are Palestinian bombers. My point, which I think was obvious, was that you say the same sort of shit all the time.

I'm more of a bourbon man. I tried to like scotch, but I just couldn't get there. Stuff tastes like gasoline to me.

You aven't tried hard enough.

But then, what would I expect from one with your lack of commitment?

too late for you then. I got on the scotch like this- I thought it tasted horrible, SOOOO early law firm days I drank it at business events BECAUSE I couldn't drink too much- See Hank is too smart!!!!!

After a few years the deterent was no longer there, I liked the taste, but by then I had proven myself arguably the best lawyer in my field, so i had some leeway.

Oddly enough, that's largely how I got on the bourbon. When I was younger, I was more of a vodka man.

Now, me, I don't think of "mentally ill" and "lovable" as synonyms -- maybe this is why we miscommunicate occasionally.
