Did you ever get to interview him????

Well, it wasn't the current boss that offered the 30% raise!

I can't believe he up and signed with the evil empire either, BUT if the stories are true that the Sox offer was 12 million less for the same 4 years, and that they wouldn't budge from 4 years, you can see at least part of the reason why he signed with the Yanks....not bothering to keep Theo was a bigger mistake than the Sox ownership could fathom....

Pretty shocking, if you ask me!!! Lucky Yanks!!! Don't quite know why he didn't find a way to sign with the Dodgers. Who do they go after now???

any more spoilers? Okay, if you didn't know about the thing with the planes, I don't know what to tell you. Do you also not know what "Rosebud" is? It was the name William Randolph Hearst gave to Marion Davie's clitoris. Marion mentioned this to a "friend" while drunk, and somehow Orson heard about it....And now you know the rest of the story....Hope it doesn't ruin Citizen Kane for anyone!

Sounds like the film is tanking, boxoffice wise. Hopefully the weekend will bring it's numbers up. So many people I have talked to wanted to see it just because it's a Peter Jackson film.... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178983,00.html

Uhmm Chris...Since my Mom was bedridden and dying , I ended up watching a fair bit of what she watched. So, I saw many episodes of West Wing. She watched it from the beginning, and was a lifelong Republican(My Dad was the crazy who voted for Kennedy and Johnson! ) Though Sheen's character is an overly idealized, liberal's dream of a President he is a bit of a hawk....and has done some things pretty much like Bush has done them, which is interesting. IMO. Hey Chris, just for the halibut, why don't you watch week of Fox news, you know just to get right to the source of the lies??? Closed minds keep so much good stuff out.

Sounds like someone misses the political forum! Last year, for shits and grins(and a little moola) I briefly worked in that wonderful world of Book retail that you are familiar with as well(Booksamillion-hey, it was close! ) Since the main manager was always saying Happy Holidays, the rest of us felt compelled to say the same thing. NOT saying it was forced on us. So, I would belt out Happy Holidays, and some people would say Merry Christmas back to me. I felt like I couldn't say what I felt like saying. Sometimes we are politically correct without anyone asking us to be. So, I finally started to say Merry Christmas back to folks. Felt like I was saying something I shouldn't, but I got over it. But you are wrong if you don't think there isn't a war on Christmas at least at some level. Schools having winter programs,(How many schools call Christmas break, Christmas break these days?) Not using green and red colors for decorations, changing lyrics to Silent night to "Cold in the night" I read somewheres(can't find it now) that a kid was sent home from a school party for having an Elf hat on!

Very sorry to hear this! My Mom watched a fair bit of West Wing, and I watched L.A. Law some as well. I'll take a wild guess and say he was a smoker. That was the voice of a smoker.

Johnny, are you ready for WS in Seattle now that Carl Everett has signed on? Seriously, he should help, and as .Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi said Everett "would break up any monotony or boredom." I don't care what he says or does as long as he knocks in 100+ RBI, hit 25+ HRs, and has an AVG over .280. he hasn't done all three of those things in the same year since 2000. He's accomplished only one of those goals since 2000, when he hit .301 for Texas but only played 73 games. Tell you what: If Everett reaches all three of those goals and plays at least 125 games, I'll vote for Hillary in 2008. You have my word as a gentleman and a jazz fan. Now Dan, if Everett drives in 100+ RBI, hit 25+ HRs, and has an AVG over .280 in 124 games, you should still vote for Hillary!

Dan, what about those Damon to the Dodgers rumors that won't die? Makes sense if the Red Sox don't cough up "enough" money, or years. The Dodgers could easily win a very weak division. Their offense is already better than last year, and with Damon, it would at least reach the level of no longer terrible. Plus, he could do more ads, guest on Days of our Lives, and with it being L.A. baseball, there would be little media pressure like he had to go thru in Boston, or would have to go thru in N.Y.

Never got this set, not because I don't like Mildred(I really do like her), Just the cost of the set...about $40 more than any other set I have gotten. will get it someday. Her voice does take some getting used to, with her earliest vocals are the hardest to listen to IMO. But I wonder how much of it has to do with the recording equipment of the day having a hard time with a register as high as hers? Perhaps they brought in the opera stars mikes, or engineers? Something changed for the better in the early 30's. If you haven't heard the later Bailey, the Decca cd The Rockin' Chair Lady (1931-1950) Has some of her last recordings, and even though her health was failing, her voice sounded better than it ever had.....

I have only seen the ad this week I believe...it's an ad that is full of fast edits of clips of all their shows...did I mention the sax guy is playing really, really fast???? That's it, that's my description, so if you are up at 11 pm, or 2 am, listen and help me out! On the Toon channel. Channel 176 on Dish. Thanks in advance! Someone will know.

Jim, hope you got all you wanted for your birthday!

Swedish supercar not for chickens By Simon Johnson Mon Dec 12, 8:26 AM ET ANGELHOLM, Sweden (Reuters) - Going from selling frozen chickens to building a supercar in the home of the safe Saab might seem a big leap, but not for Swede Christian von Koenigsegg. On a bleak winter day, his fire-red 806 horsepower CCR is hard to see as it powers through the driving rain at over 124 mph, racing along the former runway the firm uses for tests in southern Sweden. That's only half the speed the low-slung, $665,000 machine is capable of. In February, the CCR clocked an official speed of 241 mph, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records and just pipping the McLaren F1's 240.4 mph. Since then, Volkswagen's Bugatti Veyron has claimed the speed top spot. VW says the car officially clocked 252.8 mph in May although debate still rages among car aficionados about who officially has the fastest wheels. "They say they have driven 400 kph (249 mph) already ... but we still hold the record title with Guinness," Koenigsegg said. He hopes the CCR will top that speed before next autumn. "Theoretically, this car can go 407 kph (253 mph)," he said. "But it's not as easy as you think. You have to have a really, really long straight." The 33-year-old says he first dreamed of building a supercar when he was 5. But after studying economics, his first venture was trading frozen chickens, plastic bags and perfume. "Really, anything I could find a market for and a supplier and where I could make some money in between," he said in an interview at the company's factory. He was soon bored. "I had proved I could be a success as a businessman, but what I really wanted to do was build a car." SWEDISH SUPERCAR? The fact that Swedish cars, like Volvo and Saab, are more associated with safety than speed, and more likely to be used for a trip to the local supermarket than a blast around a race track, did not put him off. Nor did Sweden's slightly chilly attitude to entrepreneurs or the fact that decades of Social Democrat rule have made Swedes uncomfortable with ostentatious displays of wealth -- like cars that cost more than half a million dollars. "In some ways a supercar is not a Swedish product," Koenigsegg admitted. "I thought, does it make business sense? Is it possible? I don't know, but that's what I want to do. I'm fairly young and if it doesn't pan out, it's not the end of the world." For now, his gamble appears to have paid off: His company has more orders than it can handle and has already built 26 supercars. The flat, open fields of southern Sweden, home to Henning Mankell's lugubrious fictional detective Kurt Wallander, may seem a strange place to build a supercar. But Koenigsegg said Sweden's automotive history, its high-tech electronics and aviation industries and design traditions make the country a good base. His factory is located in Angelholm, not far from the southern city of Gothenburg, which is home to Volvo; north of Malmo, where truck maker Scania was founded; and close to Saab in Trollhattan. SPEEDY BUT SAFE Eighty percent of the CCR is made in Sweden, with only the engine block, suspension, brakes and other minor parts imported. The chassis is distinctly high-tech. Built in an aircraft hangar that used to house military jets, it is made of honeycombed aluminum overlaid with carbon fiber and kevlar -- the material used for bullet-proof vests. The body parts are glued on and the rest of the car put together by hand in a process that takes two and a half months. The minimalist design is traditionally Swedish, as is the focus on making the car the safest in its class in tests. The car is also frugal, despite its price tag. Koenigsegg reckons it drinks about 3.1 gallons per 60 miles at normal road speeds against about 2.6 for a standard Volvo. Put your foot down, however, and the consumption rises to closer to 21 gallons. Koenigsegg drives a test model, but there are no other Swedish owners. There are no women owners either. His youngest customer is 22, the oldest in his 70s, but the company won't say who exactly has bought the other cars. Koenigsegg is also coy about what's next for the firm. He will expand production to 30 cars next year and the company also hopes to enter the famous Le Mans 24 Hour race, but he won't talk about any new models. As for building a car that could thunder along at 311 mph kph, that's not on the cards -- yet. "It's absolutely unrealistic, but very possible," Koenigsegg said.

I hope you are lots of fun on a date, cuz you are dating yourself!

EVERYONE knows that Richie Rich is number one!

jedi_clampett on ebay is my newest fav!

Crouch is clearly an asshole, clearly. speaking of raison d'etres. what would you write about on this board if you weren't writing about Bush, Condasleeza, etc?? Jazz?

I am shocked, simply shocked that the New Jersey poet laureate talking about the racist US Superstructure, and that Crouch's comments reek of the national (racial) foolishness that characterizes white supremacy He just forgot to find a way to badmouth Jews....

Can't be too good, you can only go a month ahead to play lottery ticket numbers that have already won/will win. Just think, this guy created a handle on ebay, in 2003 and this is the first thing he put up! (Of course, how do I know this? He could keep going forward, listing something like this, then go back in time to cancel the listing. Perhaps you stumbled onto something we were not supposed to know about!

After tackling Boomer several times in a day, she would often lay right into him, like in this photo(He was about 19 and pretty frail at the time)
