		<description>Michale -

&lt;em&gt;I don&#039;t follow baseball at all. But I do think it&#039;s exciting when a team scores a goal..&lt;/em&gt;

OK, I have to admit... that was funny!

:-)

nypoet22&#039;s comment, too, for that matter...

		<description>David,

I am very glad to hear you watched UNTHINKABLE..  Just tell me one thing.   Wasn&#039;t it REALLY powerful??  Maybe it&#039;s just me, with my background and all, but I have to tell you, it really rocked me back on my heels...

As for NetFlix, I just set up a really sheet hot Media Center computer on our big screen..  I am going to give NetFlix a try on their Streaming Video system.  See if it is all it&#039;s cracked up to be...

:D

&quot;Odonnell&quot; - Heheheh. That&#039;s about as good as Santorum. 

@Liz
Giants vs. Rangers? Hmmm. I&#039;m torn. They both eliminated teams I hate. So it was a win-win. My random coin flip says I should root Giants. 

@Michale
Agree w/ you on Hot Tub Time Machine. Though I do have to say I canceled my NetFlix subscription. I am very fussy when it comes to movie watching and am going back to my Luddite neighborhood video store :). 

Finally watched Unthinkable so at some point when I have more time, we can talk. Just don&#039;t want to clog the comments here w/ our yammering. 

Cheers

		<description>Liz,

It was a joke..  :D

I only mentioned it because that is what Friday&#039;s commentaries usually are made up of..  :D

I don&#039;t follow baseball at all.  But I do think it&#039;s exciting when a team scores a goal..  :D

However, in the interests of solidarity, I&#039;ll root for the Giants..  :D

Michale.....  (and, just to make a clean sweep of it...)  :D</description>

		<description>Michale,

Partisan bickering? What partisan bickering? There is no partisan bickering going on around here today.

Why is that you always seem to find partisan bickering where it is not?

Do you think maybe that we&#039;ve FINALLY had enough of all of the partisan bickering we can possibly take?

So, who do you like - Rangers or Giants!?</description>

For anyone who actually remembers the 80s, you&#039;ll love it..  :D

OK, back to partisan bickering....  :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;What Liberal couldn&#039;t root for the Giants at this point? They&#039;re up against George W. Bush&#039;s former team for the World Series, after all...&lt;/I&gt;

And &lt;B&gt;**I**&lt;/B&gt; am accused of always making things a Left vs Right issue!!  :D  

J/K  hehehehehehehe

		<description>Chris,

Yeah, I understand all that but, beating the Yankees and turning them into the world&#039;s saddest bunch of sad sacks has to count for something. :)

I&#039;m just hoping for seven games, right down to the wire.

I do like the Giants&#039; slogan, Torture Never Felt So Good, though. Heh Heh ... They certainly are fun to watch!</description>

		<description>Okay ... so, I&#039;m going to go ahead and believe that a Rangers-Giants world series is a good omen for the midterm home stretch. A very good omen, indeed!

Just as the Phillies worlds series win in 2008 was for another election ... :)</description>
