Social Security is a failed social program on the verge of going bankrupt. Medicare is full of waste and abuse, never mind the original cost estimate being severely underestimated.

The health care reform bill passed last night will just add to the misery of the American people, will it not?

Why did the members of the House not listen to the American people who did not want this bill passed (only 38% approval)?

Will the mid-term elections mirror the 1994 results?

Winning it all in both. Oops.

Bad.

Of course.

I posted this in MG yesterday: This is funny: "We are going to make history today. Not since President Roosevelt passed Social Security, Lyndon Johnson passed Medicare, and today, Barack Obama will pass health care reform, demonstrating whose side we're on." I'm really surprised that Congress has approved something with such a low approval rating. It's as if they're saying "You don't know what's good for you. We'll show you." As a rule, the general public is stupid. People are angry now but, if something good happens to them before they vote, there will be no change.

What are your thoughts on the Joe Mauer signing? Is it too early for me to post an official Joe Mauer to hit .400 thread?

Even as a Yankee fan, I thought that was a lot of money and a lot of years for a catcher. However, the Twins pretty much had to give him what he wanted. I'll say Mauer to the Twins is as Jeter to the Yankees. It's never too early.

Harry_Chavez just was signed for 24M as an IFA in Happy Jack.

I see him projecting to 28 dur, 95 stam, 91 ctrl, 94 L, 100 R, 62 GB/FB, and 89/79/59/53 for 1st through 4th pitches.

Hands down the best potential I've seen in IFA or draft. You with me on that?

Also, I could only go up to 22M. Should I have sold my soul to the devil for the extra 3M in prospect budget?

I usually stay out of the IFA because, to me, it's silly to put almost 25% of your yearly budget into one player(20m scouting/24m bonus) but he looks like a future HOF based on your projections.

Since you were obviously willing to put 25% of your budget into one player, yes.

I agree with your stance (I'm at 1/3), but a HOF throws that out the window, IMO. I would have signed scrubs for the rookie league.

25 minutes at work after a week's vacation and I've already had my first meltdown. Any suggestions for a way to stick it to the man? I'm ok with fireable actions.

Depends on what you do for a living. You're already stealing from him by goofing around on WifS. That's sticking it to him in itself.

Kenseth is rocking, no?

He's just trying to keep the fatass Midwesterners from slitting their wrists over Cornell.

tracyr won his 42 World Series in the baseball SIM, are you impressed?

I'm not overly impressed with any simgame accomplishments. This is a site full of nerds. I still believe 83.64% of the members have tape on their glasses and a pocket protector.

You prefer fake players. Pot? Kettle?

HBD is a simgame, fakedeathinahole. You're almost as dumb as the real DIAH but not quite.
