    At about 90%

    Thanks again, everyone. I’ve tried to send an email to everyone who contributed (who provided an email address). I’d also like to thank both of you who sent me contributions through the mail: you know who you are.

    I hear Iceland is available for pennies on the dollar.

    Hey, Jeff, can I send one through snail mail? My credit cards have imploded.

  4. Comment by Jeff G. on 11/1 @ 12:46 pm #

    Naturally, Carin. But if you’re hurting, don’t waste money on me. Buy a gun and a big “beware of capitalist” sign for your lawn. That scares the Obama peoples.

    I don’t know what’s wrong with my credit card – I think it has to do with it be stolen and the Atlanta party someone had with it. I can send my token pittance, though, and still get a gun. My b-day is coming up! Send me your snail mail at Carinrose (at) sbcglobal.net

    Maybe when I know you better, pdb.

    Folks using snail mail are long time regulars. Sorry — and I appreciate the gesture — but I’m uncomfortable giving out my address to somebody I haven’t “known” all that long.

    It’s kinda amazing Baracky wanted to buy hisself THIS country, given that M’chelle wasn’t all that proud of it. I think they should shop around a bit more before they commit.

    Carin, just slip it under the door and I’ll Paypal it to him. ;)

  12. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:25 pm #

    That’s very patriotic of you, Pablo.

    I couldn’t help but notice that there was no love for the !PHILLIES!!! in PW main.

  13. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:27 pm #

    Heck, BJT, 80% of the time there’s no love for the Phillies in Philadelphia.

  14. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:28 pm #

    Oh, Sdferr. Your mom must be very disappointed in your ungracious attitude.

    Have a piece of pie. Soon you’ll feel right as rain.

  15. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:30 pm #

    I’m not down about either it or them, BJT, just tellin it like it is. I’ve never seen a more grumbly town in my life.

  16. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:30 pm #

    Not today, my friend. Not today!

  17. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:33 pm #

    Well yes not today the johnnie come latelys. But I mean, dude, I was there. They booed Mike Schmidt on the final home opening day of his career! That’s just mean cantankerous in my book.

  18. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:33 pm #

    Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard and Shane Victorino are eligible for arbitration this fall. Can you say “break the bank?”

  19. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:34 pm #

    Ancient history, my friend! Ancient history.

  20. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:35 pm #

    Heh, whaz de name of that program the Treasury’s got going? Phillies are getting in line right now you betcha.

  21. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:38 pm #

    Yup there is a gonna be some kind of economic stimulus package for certain ballplayers wearing red pinstripes. More filthy lucre for spreading, I says!

  22. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:41 pm #

    Word on the TV t’other day was that Burrell is gone. Is that your grok of the deal too?

  23. Comment by Sdferr on 11/1 @ 1:46 pm #

    Oops. Must hie me to a TV now for Gators/Dawgs. Pleasure chatting with ya BJT. Laters.

  24. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 1:54 pm #

    Hard to say although it might be telling that he was given the seat of honor on the first vehicle in the parade, the Budweiser Clydesdale wagon. The sense is that they can purchase a more reliable hitter on the open market who would be much better defensively. Then again replacing 35 Hr’s and 100 ribbies is not an easy thing.

    Burrell has real limitations as a hitter and goes through horrific slumps in every season. They already have one of those in Howard but his production is so ginormous that they are willing to live with the 200 strikeouts and month long .170 batting averages.

    They’ll probably resign Moyer for relative chump change and sign Blanton before arbitration. The bullpen is locked in on the back end so pitching isn’t going to be as big a concern, although they might take a shot at a top line starter like A.J. Burnett and avoid the whole fifth starter quandary with Kendrick.They do have a stud pitcher in the minors who’s supposedly ready now. They’ll have to hope that Werth continues to produce as a hitter and that Felize will find his stroke for a season although they’ll keep him because he’s so good defensively and Greg Dobbs can also play a servicable third base.

    Burrell may not command as much in the open market unless some AL team decided to take a flyer on him as a DH.

    May I just say: Screw MLB!

    Remember 1994?

    Greedy bastards. No, I don’t forgive that. If it happened then, it can happen again, and NEVER will I spend another dime of money or emotional capital attending or following MLB.

    MLB = Major League Bitchers

    College is where the pure baseball is at these days…

  27. Comment by BJTexs on 11/1 @ 2:57 pm #

    Oh, sarge! Nothing can harsh the mellow of the parade. Next month I’ll remind myself how righteously pissed off I was after 1994.

    not now … not now …

    Pabloe – heh. Perhaps I’ll slip-in a little extra if you do a Tom Cruise boxer-shorts dealo …

    WE CAN’T GET THE DILLO TO DANCE, BUT MAYBE PABLO WILL.

    Did not mean to rain on your parade.
    Congrats to you and your Phillies. {Actually, I used to live in Hershey for 4 years, so I’m kind of happy about the Phillies.]

    Now, don’t turn over any cars….

    I will send you some food stamps and a half-eaten chicken leg next year at this time (you know, after my wealth has been taken and given to the dirty poor).

  32. Comment by Lyndsey on 11/1 @ 6:35 pm #

    Need a P.O. box, Jeff. Then there’s a safer place (for you) to receive mail.

    Polls are shifting…think we may be in better shape than we thought.

  33. Comment by Velociman on 11/1 @ 7:10 pm #

    My paltry contribution (all I could afford) was far more gratifying than those dollar bills I used to slip into those whores’ britches. I strongly urge you all to pony the fuck up.

  34. Comment by easyliving1 on 11/1 @ 7:12 pm #

    I had a stripper kiss me last weekend, on the lips.

    She was hot, but I was worried about mono so I wiped my lips off with my shirtsleeve, right in front her.

    She also let me spank her ass.

  35. Comment by happyfeet on 11/1 @ 7:14 pm #

    I already ponied. Now on to Christmas I think. That’s a bigger pony though. It won’t technically be my first socialist Christmas but it might could feel like it with the media being how it is and all. I mean Kwanzaa. Did I say Christmas?

    One more time–America has shown the knack of having the right person for the right time, in any given situation. Even a cursory look back through our history will bear this out. The stumbles (Carter) merely point the correct path to take.

    I see no reason for this election to defy that tradition. McCain will prevail.

  38. Comment by happyfeet on 11/2 @ 10:31 am #

    Me too. I think McCain will have to win cause the alternative is a bunch of dirty socialists breaking shit. Baracky is disturbingly arrogant with his I will change teh world nonsense. Not on my dime you won’t motherfucker.
