Round The Bend 10.29.08

With less than a week till the election…

• We discuss the World Series and its postponement
  
• The Republican Party and their unbalanced view of what socialism is
  
• Houston, DC and San Diego social scene differences
  
• Thoughts on movies, including GI Joe the movie
  

JackGonzo Good morning and welcome to the postponement report

SayHey: Our usual mid-day distraction, gotta love it

11:12 AM Dews: Also getting an angry form letter response for anye that starts dropping "Redistributor" references to me with some Keating 5 questions...

JackGonzo no word on how excited the Philadelphia city officials are about the excitment and possible looting being loward

SayHey: Im sure PhullyFan hasnt slept in 2 days out of anticipation

JackGonzo and I thought that was because CaptRock was back home

SayHey: Well, at least its wet outside in Philly. So maybe the entire city wont burn to the ground

11:13 AM Dews: I'm sure we're all excited to see Philly burn

this is true

SayHey: A nice silver lining to a Philly win

JackGonzo especially if the fires head south and envelope Baltimore

Dews: ...

no

SayHey: Peace out Camden!

11:14 AM JackGonzo The longer this delay hits though the better for the Phils

PhillyFan: how come?

I think its on tonight...

SayHey: Yeh, 8pm

Dews: yea, no "travel day" for the rays even if they DO win

11:15 AM JackGonzo How come? The longer it takes the more likelihood that Hamels stays in the game

PhillyFan: 8:37

SayHey: So far Hamels is still pitching

As has been on deck for 2 days

PhillyFan: no heisnt

SayHey: Uhm, yes he is

PhillyFan: every philly paper says differently

JackGonzo I believe that would count as a "quality at-bat" for Pedro Feliz

PhillyFan: wuoting manuel

Dews: well, he's technically "on deck"

11:16 AM until he's officially pinch hit for

SayHey: Bottom of the 6th, #9, 1, 2 hitters

JackGonzo Yes, until the game begins he is "on deck" "technically"

SayHey: Time for a So Iguchi appearance?

PhillyFan: either way manuel has said he isnt pitching. which is the important part

Dews: oh yea, no way they let him pitch

SayHey: Nope

Not on 2 days rest in 30 degree weather

JackGonzo Why? Unless they throw this game away, go back to TB and he pitches Game 7

Dews: nope

even Dusty Baker wouldn't do that

11:17 AM SayHey: Hell, he could pitch game 6

Thats debatable Dews

JackGonzo well, there is a way, but the wristbanded lizard isn't the manager

PhillyFan: there wont be a game 6

:)

Dews: yes, this is true SayHey...

SayHey: Philly- Dont get all smug yet

PhillyFan: we get 12 outs, they only get 9 :)...we can work this

JackGonzo I disagree, hell yes Baker sends him out there, and hell yes he gives him a green light

SayHey: You hear what Michael Jorday said about winning?

If you win just one title, you LUCKY!

11:18 AM JackGonzo well technically if you do it correctly you only need 9

PhillyFan: im not smug..i am always optimistic. when has that changed?

SayHey: Im just saying, simmer down on the smug talk

Dews: eh, not getting that from Phillyfan about the Phillies just yet

now EAGLES are another matter :)

SayHey: Im picking up on it

JackGonzo The only way the Phillies could screw this up is if Donovan McNabb appeared at the ballpark

11:19 AM SayHey: or TO

JackGonzo no, TO was what kept them in that Super Bowl

SayHey: Rays should give TO an "appearance" fee

PhillyFan: he read the lineup the other night

JackGonzo That Super Bowl proved why everyone complains about his behavior but wants him on their team

SayHey: Yep

Dews: I don't want him

SayHey: He is the devil with skill

Dews: gonna put that out there right now

11:20 AM SayHey: I had him, and I dont want him

PhillyFan: i need to go, sorry

SayHey: DOnt go

Dews: ciao PhillyFan

Bridget has left

JackGonzo this ends our world series coverage

11:21 AM SayHey: I guess my "smug" hit a nerve

JackGonzo I will remember PARTS of Philly well, the rest needed the burning

Dews: it IS possible something came up :)

JackGonzo That's what she said

SayHey: That to, Dews

JackGonzo now then, topic number two...how come Republicans can't stand it when facts are put to their faces?

11:22 AM SayHey: Because they rely on misunderestimations!

JackGonzo Take for example David Gregen on Anderson Cooper last night...

Gergen: Now, one of the most effective popular programs we've had in the last three decades. It's called the earned income tax credit. It's a program whereby, if you're a working person, a working couple and you're below the poverty line, the government will actually give you money. That's a redistributed program. It's a program which takes money from the upper classes and gives it to the lower -- to the working poor.

Now who started that program? The earned income tax credit? Ronald Reagan. It was one of the -- it was an achievement of the Reagan administration that Bill Clinton then built on.

SayHey: The Michelle Obama "400 dollars on Lobster" was a blatent lie also

11:23 AM Dews: its just desperation

its a slash and burn policy now

just keep reaching out and killing things until something works

JackGonzo Look, coming from a man whose wife goes to thousand dollar dinners on a regular basis, a $400 lobster isn't an oddity

SayHey: Well, to be honest......the 700 billion dollar bailout is Socialism, and the Repubs are blasting Obama for Socialistic ideas

The Lobster story was a lie, Repubs got slammed for it

JackGonzo It isn't socialism if it's for corporations...just individuals

11:24 AM didn't you get the memo?

SayHey: Oh, I remember now

Dews: right, we live in a corporate Police state, its our job to bail them out

SayHey: This is the Non-Socialistic act that suspended McCants campaign, right?

JackGonzo We'll get ya a copy of that memo...thanks peter

Dews: we have human rights and free speech just so long as it benefits the corporate interests

SayHey: Next on the Non Socialistic agenda- Auto bailouts

11:25 AM JackGonzo which is needed, but should come with a caveat

SayHey: Oh, and what about our Non-Socialistic "stimulous package" bailout last year?

JackGonzo to make their cars fuel efficient by 2011

SayHey: I got 600 bucks..........why would i get that if not for Socialism?

11:26 AM I highly doubt that Jack

Dews: to hell with our Auto Industry, they fucked themseves by fighting CAFE changes for the last 20 years

thats why we've lost the Auto industry

they spent too much fighting efficiency and not enough actually achieving it

SayHey: Made in America means monthly trips to the mechanic

11:27 AM JackGonzo Now, I expect there to be pictures Friday as someone in the Communist Compound needs to carve some fucking pumpkins

Political Pumpkins

Dews: we have one already, but squirrels have eaten his mouth...

11:28 AM SayHey: Funny

Dews: Squirrels are kind of like our neighborhoods mafia

they run things

11:29 AM JackGonzo You could so take the Palin one and make it a teabagging sarah palin pumpkin

Dews: if you don't pay protection money, they will fuck with your pumpkins

SayHey: Shame that OleMiss moved out, he was the regulator!

Drunk OleMiss meant lots of gun toting

Dews: I think we shall be creating another local militia

JackGonzo OleMiss moved out? With PhillyFan

Dews: with high powered Pellet guns soon

SayHey: OleMiss is moving to Tailand for 65 months

And taking PhillyFan with him

11:30 AM er, 6 months

Dews: yea, he's been gallavanting around the world for a few months now

SayHey: PhillyFan is living the dream......Going to pull a Half Baked at work

JackGonzo lol

11:31 AM SayHey: He just left Brazil

JackGonzo I know the gallavanting and I was hoping he would be on today so he could join us to give us a few comments on the GOP eating itself alive

SayHey: I honestly dont think he cares

Dews: he would have been talking Redistribution

SayHey: We need CowboyFan on

11:32 AM Dews: haven't seen him since he got kicked by a mule

well...

SayHey: Oh, is that the story he is using?

Dews: sure looked that way anyway

SayHey: Yeh, got beat the fuck up.......but i dont know how

Dews: bouncers will do that to you if you fuck with them

11:33 AM SayHey: He dodged so many fists, he was bound to get tagged eventually

JackGonzo and police officers if you piss them off

Dews: ah yes, them too

SayHey: Yeh, he tends to piss them off

JackGonzo outside of santa bar crawls

SayHey: To funny!

11:34 AM Oh Dews, did you get the email regarding this years Santa Crawl?

Dews: yes I did, I shall be there

SayHey: Yeh, so you need a santa suit and a Steely costume

JackGonzo fuck you all, Houston may be better in many ways, but where it is not is bars and the like

Dews: yea, its gonna be a busy week, but I'll figure it out

SayHey: It only took Jack 5 months to miss DC

Dews: haha

11:35 AM SayHey: Noodle is cracking after 3 weeks

JackGonzo No no, don't miss it, or the traffic

Dews: Jack, I may actually go to a bar this monday dressed as Steely with a Skins logo on my helmet too

SayHey: May

?

No, you are

Dews: ha

SayHey: And im taking pictures

Dews: maybe it should be a Steelers bar

SayHey: Poor House

JackGonzo the social scene just isn't as...advanced...in Houston, of course I imagine it's more difficult when everything is more spread out

11:36 AM Dews: Politiki!!!

I don't care if its not called that anymore, it still is to me

JackGonzo don't give dews flashbacks

not while he's holding a giant steel beam

Dews: haha, yes, lotta stuff happened there

SayHey: It may be foam, but SteelerFan wont know that

JackGonzo though there needs to be a shot of Steely humping RLB's leg

11:37 AM Dews: haha!

hopefully with the score in the background of Skins winning...

11:38 AM any thoughts on the Obama Video thats being suppressed?

SayHey: Thats tonight, right?

JackGonzo ah, this just in, the Utah Jazz owner, who owns a chain of movie theaters, has banned Zack and Miri

SayHey: Yeh i heard

YET, played Saw 5

Dews: Saw 5 is a family movie

11:39 AM I fail to see the connection

SayHey: Its about a lumberjack family of bears, right?

Dews: exactly

SayHey: With Rabbit sidekicks?

And an evil Monkey?

Dews: and their epic struggle amongst a failing timber industry in northern Canadia

JackGonzo ...they say there is nudity in the film...is it elizabeth banks?

if so, fuckin a

SayHey: I so pray that it is

So hot

Im sure its Traci Lords

Dews: well, its about a pr0n being filmed, so I'd imagine there is at least some?

11:40 AM SayHey: Or it could be Seth Rogan

Dews: that would explain it being banned then

SayHey: We already saw 3 full frontals from Jason Segal in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

11:41 AM Either way, looks awesome

JackGonzo yeah but from all acounts seth rogen is like dews, he's half wookie

SayHey: Yeh, I dont really want to see that

JackGonzo actually, if you mixed the three of us together you'd probably get Seth Rogen

SayHey: Rogan lost a shitload of weight for Green Lantern

11:42 AM JackGonzo lol Green Hornet

SayHey: Oh, Hah

Something Green, damnit

11:43 AM JackGonzo yes, one has a stereotypical side kick, the other a FAB-U-LOUS ring

SayHey: Yes, I get that part

To many Retarded remakes coming out

JackGonzo ...Bill Kristol will be on the Daily Show on Devils Night

11:44 AM SayHey: I just read about Welcoem Back Cotter, with Ice-Cube

Is Dews alive? or is he killing babies?

11:45 AM JackGonzo The Kotter movie has been canceled already

SayHey: I just read an article today about it

No mention of it being cancelled

Oh, and we have A-Team, with Ice Cube

11:46 AM JackGonzo John Singleton, long attached to A-Team, has dropped out of it as of last week

SayHey: Excellent

Some things just need to be left alone

A-Team is one of em

Oh, and GI Joe.....but thats to late

11:47 AM Oh, word has it that there might not be another Batman

Nolan said he doesnt think he can top Dark Knight

JackGonzo I'm beginning to have a lil excitement over GI Joe

SayHey: Hence, he may not bother

Brendan.......Frazier

11:48 AM JackGonzo the photos that are appearing are...rpomising

Baroness is SMOKING hot

Yes, that's all fine and well, but the only GI Joe anyone cared about was Snake Eyes and SGT Slaughter

SayHey: Ive seen the same 10 for months........have any new ones been released?

Oh, also, new Star Trek photo's

JackGonzo and Snake Eyes is being playing by Darth Maul

SayHey: This is true

And Destro has no silver helmet

11:49 AM JackGonzo The Cobra side is looking bad ass

So far

it may end with him receiving it

SayHey: Eh, if they are going to DO this, they need to do it right

Give Destro the mask

Dews: Brendan Frasier....

SayHey: LOL

As Gung-Ho of all people

JackGonzo and he very well may have it, but just at meetings or when confronted, but doing the mask is difficult

11:50 AM Come on, who else can pull off a giant Marine Corps tattoo on their chest?

SayHey: Brendan Frasier is that gay looking, I suppose

Dews: Tim Gunn?

SayHey: lol

11:51 AM Ill say this, the chick playing Cover Girl is Smoking hot

Dews: would rather have seen him as Shipwreck though

Gunn I mean

SayHey: Yeh, shipwreck is smaller in statute

JackGonzo Yes, only Tim Gunn can play Shipwreck

SayHey: Or Rock

Dews: ah yea

he did a helluva job is Be Cool

SayHey: And only SGT Slaughter can do SGT Slaugher

He did, prolly the only good thing about Be Cool

11:52 AM JackGonzo They should have found a part for Shaq

SayHey: Roadblock!!

JackGonzo like Roadblock

SayHey: But they gave it to Ekko

JackGonzo which is fair since they're going all serious

Dews: maybe Shaq is in the sequel as Serpentor

SayHey: Serpentor with a limp

JackGonzo here are some photos

GI Joe Movie Photos

11:53 AM SayHey: Yeh, ive seen em

Oh, and Baronness is wearing big plastic boobs

Dews: they look like cut scenes from a real-time strategy game....

blah

SayHey: Stephen Sommers forced Sienna Miller to wear fakkies

11:54 AM This movie is going to tank..........But then again, I thought Casino Royale would also

And I was WRONG

Dews: Casino Royale??? Really???

JackGonzo DEAD Wrong

Dews: why?

SayHey: Well, lots of us thought it would suck

Including you, Jack

Dews: Its a Bond movie though

JackGonzo no one trusted daniel craig to be THAT much of a bad ass

SayHey: Didnt think Daniel Craig was a good choice

11:55 AM then i saw Layer Cake

And quickly changed my mind

Dews: if Roger Moore couldn't destroye Bond, nobody can

SayHey: Roger Moore was in one of my Bond Favorites

JackGonzo hell, that's who they should bring back for GI Joe

THE FRIDGE!

SayHey: LOL

Dews: Scratch that... Brendan Frasier COULD destroy it

11:56 AM SayHey: He destroys childrens imgionations

Dews: what about Terry Tate?

SayHey: Damnit, I cannot spell today

"Here come the Pain Train, baby"

JackGonzo They should have had Bazooka in it

SayHey: Or Flint

JackGonzo

SayHey: Ok, gotta go

Con Call

Have fun

11:57 AM Dews: Ciao SayHey

JackGonzo alright, this is all for today, join us tomorrow as we discuss the massive choke job by Phily

Round The Bend 10.27.08

On this cold, windy morning, we have gathered together to discuss…

• Thoughts on this weekend's football action
  
• Reaction to the World Series
  
• A few closing thoughts as this election cycle comes to a close
  
• Thoughts about how Philly may burn to the ground tonight
  

JackGonzo: Good morning, hopefully we have a group of winners with us this morning, not a bunch of people out for themselves

SayHey: I would like to thank VA Tech QB's for at least showing up Saturday

JackGonzo: and I would like to thank SayHey for the GREATEST post-game conference since OK State's coach last year

9:33 AM Mike Freaking Singletary

Dews: haha, good quote

Want to remind everyone who picked Duke over Vandy too...

SayHey: Man, he put the fear of God in me

Yeh, but you had Purdue over Minnesota also

MrSanDiego: I may just go back into my cave and come out after Spring Training

JackGonzo: Already my favorite head coach in the NFL, you know the kind of coach Herm Edwards used to be

Just when LT decided to show up?

9:34 AM Dews: my apologies, Chat is having issues today

SayHey: Yeh, he will be awesome once York gives him a Mike Singletary team

JackGonzo: Wait, who had the Browns over the Jaguars? Or Georgia crippling the Tigers?

Dews: <-- College football genius here again though

SayHey: I had GA =)

But also the Jags

For the most part, my picks were pretty good

Dews: I had Duke!

SayHey: And Perdue

Dews: meh

9:35 AM it was a good game

JackGonzo: we all did fairly well, though I don't know who picked wisconsin, but hats off

SayHey: Always thinking with your Johnson.......

JackGonzo: he made the purdue choice out of...consideration

Dews: not true, Duke was outta spite

JackGonzo: you know, like how you would be forced to pick Indiana

SayHey: Hey, IU has some talent

JackGonzo: as you notice, I do not have that issue of picking Penn State over Ohio St

SayHey: And they showed NW what that is......Trickery!!

9:36 AM JackGonzo: Their talent plays for the Redskins

Dews: hell yes, and very well

SayHey: We all knew the Skins would win.......but why so close?

I had the Skins in an epic blowout

MrSanDiego: you guys and your sig otros' college football teams...

9:37 AM JackGonzo: Cause the Lions are the team of almost this year

Dews: I cannot describe to you the amount of rage I felt watching the eary part of that game...

SayHey: FSU 2.......VA Tech QB's 0

JackGonzo: they've rarely been blown out

SayHey: I didnt know Glennon was so limber

MrSanDiego: PSU was a good game

Love to hate on Ohio St

SayHey: I missed that one.........To busy drinking my weight in free booze

JackGonzo: but hopefully the lions will live the unbelievable dream

Dews: yea, enjoyed watching that at the all you can drink for free night

JackGonzo: o.0

9:38 AM see, I miss things while working

though did listen to the Ohio St game and chuckled

MrSanDiego: where the f was I? Free booze...

SayHey: Tom Toms

Kickball party

Where drama always seems to follow

JackGonzo: ah, yes, they would need free booze to get me to go to tom toms again

Dews: SanDiego, I think you were on some mystical journey

9:39 AM SayHey: Yep, and I bit on their bait

Peyote?

JackGonzo: but it was probably some half ass light beer so not worth my while anyways

MrSanDiego: something like that I'm sure

SayHey: pffffffffffffffft

rail baby

And the good beer

JackGonzo: rail?

AND good beer?

SayHey: =)

JackGonzo: this was no WAKA event

Dews: oh no

SayHey: Nope.........All DCK

9:40 AM DCK is Socialist that wayt

JackGonzo: so any final thoughts on college football or the NFL?

SayHey: Putting booze in our pockets

Yeh, FSU #15!

VA Tech has no more QBs

9:41 AM JackGonzo: I would ask who have they beaten, but they play in the ACC so the answer would be nobody

SayHey: Ha Ha

JackGonzo: so good that I live in Houston now

I can say that without being lynched

SayHey: Texas showed us that Texas Tech isnt the fluke we all thought they were

Very close game

9:42 AM JackGonzo: Anyone shocked by Texas Tech's manhandling of Kansas?

Dews: not really

SayHey: Oh wait, got my games mixed up

Ha

JackGonzo: and I believe Eric means OK State

SayHey: Sorry, bra'

JackGonzo: Tech I believe is this weekend

SayHey: Correct

JackGonzo: no worries, we're no Jayhawk

9:43 AM SayHey: I am kinda shocked by Wake's loss to Miami

JackGonzo: The Patriots, still tied for first...is their schedule really this easy?

SayHey: I cannot explain NE right now.........THey find ways to win

Dews: yea, its still Bellicheck

best coach ever

9:44 AM gotta hand it to homeless man, he knows his shit

JackGonzo: actually, looking at their schedule, yes, it really has been that easy

Dews: I mean, besides Jim Zorn of course...

JackGonzo: but now, look for the Colts to let out some frustration against the Patriots sunday

9:45 AM Dews: I'm more interested in seeing if Peyton survives tonight against the Titans

there could be some vicious hits

JackGonzo: true

but the next five games for the Pats, they should lose, if not 8 of the last 9

Heard an interesting stat last night coming home

9:46 AM Yesterday was Kurt Warner's 100th game, and 44th throwing over 300 yards, how damn impressive is THAT stat

SayHey: That is pretty good

Especially when we all counted him out 5 years ago

9:47 AM Dews: he's been a great QB for a long time

well, Very Good

SayHey: Dude is money when he has an Oline

2 time MVP

Id say he was great

JackGonzo: but was it long enough to get him into the HoF?

Dews: Gotta hand it to Bag Boy, he's good

SayHey: Good question...........Id say yes, but it might take a few years

9:48 AM He may have an Art Monk, type of wait

Dews: Art Monk should NOT have had to wait that long

JackGonzo: but Monk's biggest hit was he was never the best in the league, for a few years warner clearly was

9:49 AM SayHey: True.......He has the hardware also

9:50 AM JackGonzo: Now then, since PhillyFan must still be out of it, lets talk about Oakland Athletic Joe Blanton

if we knew this guy had this kind of power, he could have pitched hit for us

SayHey: He was solid

9:51 AM JackGonzo: Pinched

9:52 AM can anyone remember another team's top four of the order just being shut down like this?

Dews: not really, outside of the Yanks?

or Angels?

PhillyFan: 13 days of rest helped him too

JackGonzo: short of the phillies squandering every run chance, this would be a complete destruction of the Rays if not for their pitching

9:53 AM SayHey: Ironic that the Rays are struggling with the least talented pitching staff in this post season

Maybe they are over-confident?

Dews: think its still just a young team

PhillyFan: I think we have showed we are talented

shown

Dews: hell, the oldest member of their rotation is 26

Sonnanstine

SayHey: Well, Ryan Howard proved to me he is still worthless

9:54 AM JackGonzo: I don't know if they're the least talented, I'd say they have the best pitcher in the post season

Dews: this is true

JackGonzo: and then they have veterans who aren't going to crumble under pressure

PhillyFan: who is pitching toniiiight!

JackGonzo: is tonight the end of the WS?

SayHey: Uhm, Hamels?

Nah, tomorrow night

PhillyFan: Undefeated in the postseason

9:55 AM haha... tonight!

JackGonzo: Is Hamels the MVP right now of the WS?

SayHey: Is it?

On MNF?

Wow, there go the ratings

JackGonzo: it is tonight

SayHey: Nah, Id give the MVP to Utley

JackGonzo: unless hamels pitches his ASS off tonight

PhillyFan: If Hamels does well...I would think its going to him

JackGonzo: then I'd give it to him

9:56 AM SayHey: I dont think the Phills have a reason to pitch Hamels.......Why blow out his arm if they are up 3-1?

JackGonzo: though I would highly suggest having buckets of water and hoses ready cause the fire that burns philly to the ground tonight could be extensive

they want to win it in philly, and who are you gonna send out there?

Dews: Hamels

has to be

SayHey: I guess

9:57 AM PhillyFan: Yup

JackGonzo: this isn't dusty baker, hamels arm isn't gonna fall off

PhillyFan: They don't want to lose...why wouldn't they send the best pitcher?

JackGonzo: Kazmir is going tonight ass well

Dews: its ok to run a young guy out there with less rest every now and then, just not for the ENTIRE season, ala Dusty freakin Baker

SayHey: Im just saying, Jesus............Remember, Dusty was our coach, im haunted

9:58 AM JackGonzo: How do the Mets feel?

9:59 AM if they don't choke like a porn star with dirk diggler they could have prevented all of this

Dews: Rachel Nicols anyone?

JackGonzo: thanks for nothing new york, as usual you were fuckin useless

SayHey: Yep.........Billy Wagner just HAD to talk shit to Philly

10:00 AM brb

10:01 AM Dews: Shootings in Central Arkansas

on campus

JackGonzo: oh?

Dews: seems to be "the thing to do" this year

10:03 AM JackGonzo: lookin for it, laughing at folks not knowing that the zogby poll is run by republicans

Dews: ah yea, Colorado and VA both listed officially as "Leaning Obama" though today

VA I was aware of, but Colorado is a lil surprising

10:04 AM JackGonzo: Obama is spending the last days in colorado

I'm confused at this Arkansas shooting

two dead, one wounded...and FOUR suspects are being searched for

10:05 AM are these the worst fuckin shots or something? Are these cops?

Dews: ha, yea really

JackGonzo: gotta love those police shootouts, like the one outside the strip club that killed the gentlemen on his wedding day

10:06 AM where the cops unloaded like two full clips each and hit nothing remotely around the guy

Dews: they call that "Resisting Arrest" in PG County

JackGonzo: they call a lot of things resisting arrest in PG County

the one thing they don't do is call local cops when invading on a mayors home

10:07 AM Dews: oh yea really

JackGonzo: with just over a week left, any thoughts as we finally wrap up the election season?

Dews: its looking like a landslide in the making

10:08 AM with the GOP running ads that hint at the Democrats having a rubber stamp in congress (essentially saying Obama will win and all) in tough races, its gotten bad

its almost begging at this point

JackGonzo: pretty much

10:09 AM though I wonder how much of it is, give them some rope and let them hang themselves!

what we have to make sure of is NOT to hang ourselves with the power

Dews: yea, I'm not confident that the Dems will know what to do with power anyway

neither party does well with it

10:11 AM JackGonzo: well, hopefully the new batch of blood in the democratic party ( and not being run by a bunch of ass hats) will prevent that

Dews: well, I do see Dodd taking the leadership role

JackGonzo: Obama spoke to a crowd of 100,000 in denver

Dews: so maybe that will get them to be a lil more aggressive

JackGonzo: the rockies couldn't get those numbers during the WS

Dews: haha

10:12 AM SayHey: Did i miss the "McCain, predicting his own win"?

Jimmie has left

SayHey: err, guaranteeing a win?

JackGonzo: not yet

10:13 AM SayHey: oh good

JackGonzo: have at it

10:14 AM SayHey: Seeing how it never works in sports, McCant is going to proving that "calling your shot" will work next week

JackGonzo: will this be the best call of all time? If not him, who would be better?

10:15 AM and good I mean the most wrong call ever

cause the best still has to be Joe Namath

SayHey: Well, its the only time it REALLY worked

10:16 AM And if he loses, McCant loses all of his credibility

Not that he isnt already

I do love how Palin is now the "rogue" of the ticket

10:17 AM JackGonzo: Maverick and Rogue

SayHey: Sounds like a bad sitcom

JackGonzo: soon to be join by Beat, Colossus, Aqua Man and Black Lightning and the rest of the Super Friends

10:18 AM SayHey: Well, once you add the Decider to the team

JackGonzo: who could forget Teh Decider and Turb Blossom

10:20 AM Well we've seemed to have run the gauntlet of topics today

10:21 AM we're gonna call this one and join everyone, likely tomorrow (though it may be delayed to weds) when we expect the Phillies to be world champions, bringing home the first championship trophy that's not from arena football, in a very long time, probably since the Phillies won in 1980

10:22 AM Dews: which, may be a sign of end of days...

PhillyFan: HELL YEA!!!

I will be going to philly so I might miss it

:)

Dews: PhillyFan will be lighting the first spark for the fire that destroys philly after

JackGonzo: we may just meet back on weds then
