A friend who knows I appreciate eye candy sent this to me. I’m 90 percent sure it’s fake. But, then I can see her doing this.

I, like many other fans of our lowly Chicago Cubs, have been the type of fan waiting for the other shoe to drop for many years. Waiting to see how our Cubbies are gonna fuck it up this year, who’s going to get hurt, which pitcher is going to take the mound with a Super [...]

Commenter dd says all Schock did was agree to a softball interview with a guy who ran a public access program. Ray LaHood and Judy Baar Topinka did the same. But the difference is that when Aaron Schock went looking for folks to appear in his campaign commercial, he went looking for Coach Ron Willis: [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/y9xJ5N6shEg" [...]

Point A. Far North Knoxville at Alta Rd. Point B. Near the intersection of Pioneer Parkway & University. Do not drive south on Knoxville towards Pioneer Parkway. There is major roadwork going on.

The following is the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting of the Peoria City Council. The annotated version is available here.

Sorry I meant popular, not charitable. No idea where that came from...

Serious and charitable don't necessarily equate to competent and ready, or the right candidate for that matter. THAT'S why Billy "maligns".

Tell me about it. '04 and '05 were very frustrating, but especially '05 because of that stupid wild card -- the Cardinals had to play Houston... AGAIN... a team in their OWN division that they already beat over 162 games. What a total ripoff. The best record in baseball, and MLB has to give the NL Central also-ran a second chance. That's why I have no problem with the Cardinals winning the World Series in '06 with their dismal regular-season record. Regular season records mean NOTHING anymore.

The Cubs are fine. Mark it. Cubs take the World series 4-1. Anyone who says otherwise isn't paying attention to the game. The Cubs are the best time overall. They can score, pitch and field. It's not that complicated. Don't worry. I am not a Cubs fan but let's face it. who is going to beat them. It's an off year for the NL so they will get into the Series easy. Then it's a best of four. Don't worry. Money in the bank.

Oh, and one more thing. Forums are not debates. If there is no chance for immediate rebuttal (and counter rebuttal, depending on format), it is NOT a debate.
