Red Flag: Josh Vitters on Plate Discipline
2009-11-06 06:09:00 If you are a Cubs fan or a prospect geek (and I expect that you are if you're reading this), you may have read some of Tom Carkeek's recent pieces in the Tribune about Cubs prospects in the AFL. I was reading his newest feature on Josh Vitters, which just went up, and was most of the way through when I read a quote from Vitters that elicited a double-take."I'm not going up there looking for a walk," he said. "If I see a good pitch and I can drive it, I'm going to swing. It's not a problem at all because I don't strike out a lot."I'm sorry Josh, what was that? You don't want to take walks? Was...

Hernando student in hijab *would* stand for the flag. And apparently *did.*
2009-09-02 15:21:00 A few days ago, I wrote about a young Muslim student at Springstead High who wouldn’t stand for the Pledge of Allegience and got a severe tongue lashing from fellow student Heather Lawrence as a result. To repeat my stance: Students should not be made to stand for the pledge. Other students are allowed to disagree and voice their opinions. However, now school officials are reporting that the student wearing a hijab did stand for the flag. Could it be that Heather Lawrence had a racist moment? Principal Susan Duval believes Heather fabricated the story about her fellow student to justify a less-than-tolerant berating Heather felt compelled to give in high school’s hallway. So Duval shortened her suspension and now wants to put the entire incident behind them and move on. I disagree. If Heather Lawrence, and other students at the Hernando County high school, believed that the hijab and certainly any expression of a fundamental religious belief, be it Christian, Jewish, or...
Hernando student in hijab wouldn’t stand for the flag
2009-08-29 19:07:00 As a teacher, I never forced a student to stand for the pledge. I prefer to know which students are expressing love of country or respect for the flag because they feel it and which ones don’t give a flying fuck. But that’s just me: I heart transparency. Besides, the idea of compulsory pledging goes against what this country stands for in the first place. An excerpt from my earlier post on the subject: “I never make my students stand up,” I said. “I encourage them to do so, but if they don’t, well, that’s okay, too.” My friend and fellow teacher just stared at me. “You’re kidding, right?” she asked. “Nope,” I said, smiling meekly. “Katie!” she said, half-laughing. “They should stand up. It’s a sign of respect!” “I agree,” I said. “But forcing students to stand seems to go against what our flag stands for in the first place. I don’t think we should make...

Ask Bob - Challenge Flag
2009-06-20 16:51:00 Hey guys! My Grandma and I watch the Cubs all the time... and we were wondering What do you think would happen if a "challenge flag" ... (like the NFL) ... was put in for baseball? Would games ever get finished? Would it be a good idea for things like home-runs and check-swings? And would you have to limit the number... or at least the number of balls vs. strikes? Thanks!GO CUBBIES!! ~Melissa Muscatine,- IowaYou would definitely have to limit the number. Otherwise, that's all we would do the whole game. With the instant replay on home run calls, that problem has been addressed and looking at the results, it hasn't caused any disruption to the game. The flag idea is probably way off...

Obama Waves White Flag to Norks
2009-03-30 14:33:00 North Korea, the Norks, is preparing an illegal missile launch   The United States has the capacity to shoot down the Nork missile, but has signaled we will not.  Bill Sammon, Fox News: Appearing on “FOX News Sunday,” Gates said North Korea “probably will” fire the missile, prompting host Chris Wallace to ask: “And there’s nothing we can do about it?”"No,” Gates answered, adding, “I would say we’re not prepared to do anything about it.” Last week, Admiral Timothy Keating, commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, said the U.S. is “fully prepared” to shoot down the missile. But Gates said such a response is unlikely. I am sure that Iran will take note of Barack Obama’s impotence.

Which of our Commanders, for example, exemplified the integrity of the game and which men have bent the rules in their favor?In his book, "First Off the Tee: Presidential Hackers, Duffers and Cheaters From Taft to Bush", Don Van Natta Jr's neatly organized categories helped define Presidential proclivities noting that more than just a few in the top job have "improved their lie" during a round.Both Clinton and Nixon made it into the book's "Hail to the Cheats" category with number forty-two often giving himself "billigans" and "Tricky Dick" often not counting wayward shots. FDR, Ford and Kennedy, on the other hand, were considered "purists."So, where does that leave President-elect Barack Obama?According to a golf swing analysis by Top 100 Teacher Brady Riggs, Obama is a good study of preparedness however the outcome lacks aggress...

They weren't the fathers of punk or hardcore, but they were one of the best bands of the genre. This show was played at Kent State, site of famous oppression and violence, so it's the perfect place for Rollins to scream out the words to "Police Story:"This fucking city is run by pigs! They take the rights away from all the kids! . . . They hate us, we hate them, we can't win, no way!"Without further ado, Black Flag from October 13, 1984.

The Confederate battle Flag Is Not my flag - Call For artists
2008-07-23 04:28:00 From the Alley Cats website"The Confederate battle Flag Is Not my flag .... so the Alley Cats are issuing a call to artists to create flags that represent an inclusive vision of our shared Southern heritage and express hope rather than hate. The local media reports about the flying of a large Confederate battle flag over I4 and 75 outside Tampa have given a disproportionate share of public attention to a divisive and ugly symbol. This is a conversation that is taking place all over the South -- several states have had public discussions in recent years about the Confederate flag. The Alley Cats want to fly a different Southern flag -- yours! We?re accepting artists? submissions in both digital format and as physical fabric art creations. We?re going to create an art exhibit that combines displaying the fabric art flags with large-scale projections of the digital creations. We will be accepting artwork and forming alliances with...

Flag At Half-Mast For Tony Snow, May He Rest In Peace
2008-07-12 17:52:00 Former Bush II White House Press Secretary Succumbs To Colon Cancer Battle At Age 53 That’s right, I’M flying the flag at half-mast for Tony Snow today. It’s my choice and the man deserves no less, as far as I’m concerned. Was the man bipartisan? Not really. Partisan? Not really. Nevertheless, Tony Snow always had my personal respect and always will despite some ideological differences, which will remain firmly in place. How can one NOT respect a fellow American Citizen, whom in many ways, held radically different views, yet, had a unique gift of seeking, finding and highlighting the humorous aspect within that disagreement? When Tony Snow was announced as the Press Secretary for President Bush, I was shocked. So many times on his radio show and serving his “gig” at FoxNews, he readily and regularly pointed out his own numerous differences with general policies of the Bush White House, yet, President Bush chose him to be his official &ldqu...
President Bush Feloniously Defaces The Flag; The Weekly Standard Says Nothi
2008-06-21 21:45:00 Is Neocon Justice An Oxymoron? Remember a couple of years ago when President “Surge” W. Bush committed an obvious felony by defacing the American Flag just weeks after he signed the unconstitutional and equally felonious “Flag Burning Amendment” into law, yet the president remained, and still remains, free and on the loose? The liberals — the MINORITY party at the time, whined about it, pointed the crime out to the media while the president, protected by his Republican majority at the time, was never arrested for the felony he committed on live television. As far as I know, The Weekly Standard, the neoconservative “fave” when it comes to receiving daily marching orders and talking points for the neocons who lurk and slither amongst us, elected to totally ignore President Bush’s felony. To this day, not only is the president free and on the loose, he still owns guns and votes; all subsequent felonies when these acts pertain to a felo...
