    Since then, it has become widely know that he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend.

    The girlfriend herself had been charged with prostitution. He also admits using steroids in the past.

    Is he gunning for a position in the Obama administration? If he can throw “tax cheat” into the mix, he’s golden……

    Too bad the Illinois thing came out so soon (instead of an “October Surprise.”

    October surprises are a thing of the past. With the internet and cable news, the best that could be hoped for is a weekend before election surprise.

    BTW- my hubby is making what we call “lava” burgers right now. The house smells awesome since he has the sliding door open. I am so thankful for a break in the rain!

    Well, they just signed Verlander for 5 years/$80 million. Putting that in perspective, Katie Douric makes $14 MM annually. I figured that on a weekly basis and it’s $270.000 a week. Verlander will make about $16 MM a year or about $300,000 a week. Rediculus salary, but I hope he helps the Tigers more that the “perky one” helped See-BS.

    When I was a kid Al Kaline refused $100k a year. Said he wasn’t worth it.

    Actually I think janzm, you, me, and Ghostofreason all picked the Saints, but no one got the final score right. I think you should give the award to MFG!

    one more p.s… the A/P critiqued the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad thusly:
    Heisman winner Tim Tebow and his mother talked about her difficult pregnancy with him and how she was advised to end the pregnancy

    A billion people watched the Super Bowl…and they all saw an ad which did NO SUCH THING

    The A/P assumed the ad WOULD say that…wrote their story…AND RAN IT!

    Any Obama-Cohen photos floating around? Chicago thugs probably hang together.

    It was about the nicest thing I have seen on tv in a long time…….NOW and the MSM look like the pukes they are, as usual. We are winning, prayer is winning.

    I also follow the Cubs. I lived in the Chicago suburbs and there’s nothing like a sunny summer day at Wrigley Field when the wind is blowing out. What really sucked were the donut (multi-purpose) stadiums that are now all gone (Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia) although, as conservatives, we should have liked then as it eliminated the cost of two stadiums. For years most NFL teams played in Baseball Stadiums:
    - Lions – Tiger Stadium
    - Bears – Wrigley Field
    - Chicago Cardinals – Comiskey Park
    - Redskins – Griffith Park/RFK Stadium
    - Steelers – Forbes Field
    - Browns – Municipal Stadium
    - Baltimore Colts – Memorial Stadium
    - Giants – Yankee Stadium

    A few teams (Rams, Eagles) had football stadiums

    If I were a card carrying Democrat I might at this point be asking — Does anybody vett these people? People? It seems appropriate that he withdrew his nomination in a bar. Such class.

    Yeah, MFG deserves the winning cup. I know the feeling he must have waiting eons for this. I’ll put a blue ribbon on the wall and call it a day.

    I miss the old Busch Stadium, even though it’s understandable why it could no longer be maintained. That stadium had crowd intimacy that you just can;t quite recapture at the new ballpark.

    Oh, well, at least my Cards won the Series once already inm the new park.

    And we’ll keep Mr.Albert Pujols happy and a Cardinal as long as we can!
