That I drove Arpi off the board.


[ jay london ] Thank you. [ /jay london ]

See David Wright!!! (and Mike Piazza... and Jose Vidro...)

Due to a sudden change of events, I now have two available Field Level Box seats for today's (Thurs., July 22nd) Mets game at Shea Stadium against the Expos. (Tom Glavine is pitching...)
The seats are Fld. 127D, and the game is at 12:10PM. Repeat: the game is at 12:10 PM.

I did not clear this through any mods because of the short notice. However, I am not looking to profit off these tix ($33 face) and would give them to a board member, so I am hoping it's ok. (Gametime beers will be accepted as gratitude...)

The first 2 ticket requests to [email protected] will be honored. False requests will be publicized boldly and humorously on the board.
(Please leave a quick and convenient email and/or phone number- if I can't reach you after you contact me, I'll have to give them to someone else....)

Tickets include a prepaid parking pass to the Stadium, so parking is free, too!

Hope to see you at Shea!

Watch it - download it - watch it again.

Considering summertime is usually loaded with bullshit reruns of awful TV, this really is something to enjoy. Leary doesn;t go over the top, and they handle the 9/11 stuff really well.

MSFT dividend + GWB guaranteed to win election = stock market wins!!!!

airplanes and terrorsists

after a discussion of the article you may mock me for the source.

I ran Arpi off the board. That or he drowned in his own basement. Either way, I take credit.

"New York Post's Richard Johnson reported earlier this week that the Mets' Mike Piazza
had purchased a $500,000 engagement ring for a woman named Alicia Richter "

Quote:NEW YORK - Fox News' use of the slogan "Fair and Balanced" constitutes deceptive advertising, two political advocacy groups claimed Monday in a petition filed with the Federal Trade Commission.
Liberal MoveOn.org and historically nonpartisan Common Cause assert that Fox News' reports are "deliberately and consistently distorted and twisted to promote the Republican Party of the U.S. and an extreme right-wing viewpoint."

Alleging consumer fraud, the complaint calls for the FTC to order Fox News, consistently the highest-rated cable news network, to cease and desist from using the slogan.

Irena Briganti, a Fox News spokeswoman, told The Associated Press that "while this is clearly a transparent publicity stunt, we recognize all forms of free speech and wish them well."

James Kaminski, a former FTC lawyer currently practicing advertising law with Arent Fox Attorneys, sees little chance for the petition, noting that the FTC does not wade in political waters.

"Whether (Fox is) biased or not ... it's a freedom of speech issue," he said.

But Chellie Pingree, president of Common Cause, said the legal actions were consistent with the First Amendment. "Fox has no obligation under the law to be fair and balanced, just not to market itself as fair and balanced," he said.

After a press conference announcing the petition, members of MoveOn.org and Common Cause marched to the Fox News Headquarters to hand out DVDs of the recent documentary "Outfoxed," which alleges a pattern of right-wing biases in the network's reporting, citing statements by former Fox employees and internal memos.

The documentary is "Exhibit A" in the FTC petition.

At the press conference, Common Cause's Pingree said the petition was consistent with the 34-year old citizen advocacy group's history, and a response to the "growing firestorm about what's going on with the media."

The Federal Trade Commission, which hears all consumer complaints, will now judge whether the complaint has merit, a process that could take months.

Mitch Katz of the FTC's Office of Public Affairs would not comment directly on the petition, but did acknowledge that a label like "fair and balanced" may be inherently subjective.

Fox has sought to trademark its "Fair and Balanced" motto, which also has been met with legal action.

Independent Media Institute, a not-for-profit promoter of independent journalism, filed a petition last December with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office challenging Fox's trademark request.

The IMI's petition claims that the term "fair and balanced" is so prevalent as to be generic, and is "entirely mis-descriptive" when it comes to Fox News.

Last summer, Fox News Channel tried to block publication of liberal humorist Al Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," saying it made unauthorized use of Fox's "fair and balanced" slogan.

The judge dismissed Fox's case, saying it was "wholly without merit," and the trademark "Fair and Balanced," registered by Fox in 1998, was weak. He also said the network was "trying to undermine the First Amendment."

Put a liquor store on every corner and have CIA push drugs into Iraq so that we can cloud the Iraqi peoples' brains, pacify them so they don't care about anything, and also get some of them to kill themselves.

It worked when Bush's dad did it to the minorities during the 80s, it should probably be implemented in Iraq.
