Yeah, based on the impact he had last year I'd say he's probably worth that kind of money. The benefits from his presence fall almost entirely in the intangible category though. It's fun for the fans and players but "chemistry" is only meaningful if the team actually goes to the playoffs. Paying KGJ to hit guys in the face with pies and riding Ichiro around the clubhouse like a horse is fine with me, so long as it's the most minor piece of a serious offseason strategy for a 2010 pennant.

Another year? Really?

Academics are always so in touch with the average man Who needs academics when we have the likes of Joe the Plumber, eh?

If you'd bothered to read the article, you'd know that the study was done by a woman. Since you didn't even get that far, it doesn't give one much hope that you'd go any further by delving into the research methodology you claim to find important.

What part of "lick sack", "FOAD", etc. did you not understand?

Americans don't have bank accounts. Huge, endlessly running credit card debt, OTOH... but heh, we should be able to buy 5 plasma TVs, a new car every 3 years, and not have to buy health insurance - that's too much money! Amazing recycling of the discredited "Welfare Queen" mythology updated for the post-social safety net era of 21st century America. Man, they're not kidding when they say conservatives are completely out of ideas. Weak, Kojak.

Don't forget more family members working more hours too!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ease up guys, it's just a typo. Fairweather meant to say freedumb not freedom. Simple mistake.

Yippee!

Oh, my bad. I thought Jon was asking you what Glenn Beck was wearing today because everything that comes out of your mouth on this (or any other) topic sounds like you're channeling Beck verbatim. Given that you "haven't had a chance to see his show" I'm surprised you haven't been approached for a writing job or a guest appearance.

We know.

I'm sure we'd have a better chance to survive as a republic if we failed as an empire, though we should be prepared for the potential social movements being thrown up by this inevitable decline. Teabagging blowhards, anti-abortion shooters, census lynchers, and other assorted wackos are possibly only a mild version of things to come as "Homo angrywhitemanicus" faces his extinction.

Which campaign were you watching?

That's funny, that was called CUTTING AND RUNNING when your boy was in there. Where's all the "victory", "glory", and "freedom" now?

WWGWBD?

Can we get the fuck out of Afghanistan now? Jeezus.

Obama has finally assembled his ENTOURAGE and enough MEDIA with CAMERAS to make Ft. Hood worth his while! He's touched down there, word has it he used A PLANE to get there and will probably be taking some kind of LIMO or SUV while on the base! Does he think he's some sort of CELEBRITY or a GOD?! I miss George Bush...

unlike you who don't support "policies" but personally CHOOSE to buy foreign cars?

And you use "ur".

Most child molesters are...but Hollywood never cared to fuss over petty details like that. For the love of God, don't forget about us!

He's not?

Not invited.
