This one's really got me stumped. It would be one thing if the argument was just over whether or not humans have caused climate change. But, it's not. The protests I hear are "Global Warming? Hah! You scientists, with your fancy measuring doo-hickies are trying to tell us what to do!" The protests I hear are actually scoffing at http://www.bigsoda.com/blog/2010/03/things-i-dont-understand-pt-2-climate.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (bigsoda)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565003.post-5928757454581509484Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:43:00 +00002010-03-01T21:05:08.758-08:00Hey!

He's the new guy in the group. He's very young and from southern Illinois, which leads him to believe we're all city sophisticates, as opposed to the uncultured troglodytes we really are. However, we were talking about our favorite restaurants and he brought up Lambert's Cafe, "Home of the Throwed Rolls." This is a real place.

Particularly, they'res opposed to a government run option as an alternative to private Health Care firms. What they seem to overlook (in the articles I've read) is that Senator Lieberman is from Connecticut.The reason that's meaningful is http://www.bigsoda.com/blog/2009/11/just-facts-ma.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (bigsoda)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565003.post-4052990689165489580Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:44:00 +00002009-11-14T21:45:38.693-08:00Hi, Carrie.

I know what you're thinking, but he's actually a nice guy. He just really doesn't understand baseball.Ed's argument is that in an NL game, the pitcher can pitch around the 7 and 8 hitters to get to the pitcher to strike him out. What he doesn't seem to be considering is that there are pitchers who can hit. There should be more of them.
