Cubs beat the Braves 10-2!

I need to get home and prepare for the wife's birthday. Four birthdays in August -- I'll be so relieved when this month is over!

Holy crap! If the Russkies are in Georgia and within 15 miles of the capital, I sure hope they don't have to postpone the 2nd game of the Chicago Cubs at Atlanta Braves doubleheader!

Georgia is number one.

Mets are still a game back of the Phils, and Ich bin ein Georgian.

How ironic. I thought the word overhyped was invented to describe The Obama.

Obama is an ass.

Class dismissed.

re: #6 buzzsawmonkey

I remember when Gordon was posting here. I do not believe he was controlled by living brain tissue.

Gordon was Borg......too many personalities for a single robot.

Speaking of the Cubs...anybody seen MamaWinger?

So I click into Kos to see how ballistic the kidz are re Georgia, and how paranoid re the DNC chair shooting in AR, but can't get past the hilarious offerings on the front page,,, i.e., ' Donate fifty dollars and we'll send you a FREE Obama yard sign!'.... and ' Yay, we're gonna unseat Elizabeh Dole in NC!'
Told you it was funny.

"Overhyped" translates to "I have no idea what to do and I don't want to talk about it and expose my ignorance"

Must get back to Change, Hope, and alternative bio fuels

Dump your Stoli and buy Polish.

Georgian wine is good, too. I just had a bottle of Mukuzani, a dry red.

Western Ukraine is a fascinating, beautiful place. Lviv is a wonderful small city packed with historical interest and increasingly full of young, educated, ambitious people. Religious life is strong. Yuschenko and Tymoshenko are doing good work. Those people deserve every bit of support we can give them.

Do not let the diseased bear eat these people.

Collin Powell screwed Bush both in the UN and in getting the 4th ID into Turkey, now is gonna screw the country and endorses Obama! I hated him before and I hate him and respect him less now.

re: #22 eastvillageinfidel

Fairly unfortunate choice of words for Obama to ever say ' Overhype', since he's the poster child.......

Here is the contact info for the International Olympic Committee. I can't find an email yet. Let them know you think they should reconsider their host city choice for the 2014 winter games. Sochi, Russia is an inappropriate choice given that Russia has chosen the Summer Olympics as a time in which they can invade a neighbor.

It's got nothing to do with change, or hope. Therefore, it's overhyped.

*HOW MOSES GOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

*

*God went to the Arabs and said, **"I have Commandments for you that
will make your lives better."*

*The Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"*

*And the Lord said, "They are rules for living." *

*"Can you give us an example?"*

*"Thou shall not kill."*

*"Not kill? We're not interested."*

**

*So He went to the Blacks and said, "I have Commandments."*

*The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, **"Honor thy Father
and Mother." *

*"Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested."*

**

*Then He went to the Mexicans and said, **"I have Commandments."*

*The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said "Thou shall not
steal." *

*"Not steal? We're not interested."*

**

*Then He went to the French and said, **"I have Commandments."*

*The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shall not
commit adultery." *

*"Not commit adultery? We're not interested." *

**

*Finally, He went to the Jews and said,** "I have Commandments."*

*"Commandments?" They said, "How much are they?"*

*"They're free." *

*"We'll take 10."*

**

*There, that should offend just about everybody .*

Poodles are great dogs; we have 7 (4 toys, 3 standards)
Sounds like Butterbean is a mini and Flapjack a toy.
Our apricot poodle is crazy, and our groomer says all the apricot poodles are crazy. He is totally bonded to my wife, and gets upset if she's not in the same room.
My favorites, though, are the standard poodles. Two of them were hand-raised by a retired military officer, who had also been military adviser to the Shah of Iran. They are the most lovable big dogs - 52 and 62 lbs, but they play very rough with each other.

The Cubs moved him up through the system real fast. They must really like what they see.

Just kidding from a fan of a team that hasn't tasted the post-season in 26 years. At least the Cards are finally fading.

I have a tough time liking a Domer on my favorite team as well. But then the Cubs have Jim Edmonds and he is doing rather well. At this point beggars can't be choosers. Teams with 100 year droughts need to win. If we have to take former Cardinals, we should.
