f*** the long term concerns

by Cutthemullet on Feb 10, 2007 1:31 AM PST

Not going to read the diary, sorry Taj Mahal. That's quite a structure you've built there in India/Atlantic City, but I'm going to have to ignore it. I'm cheering for this year's team. F*** 2009. F*** 2010. F*** 2011. We'll be restocked by then, motherf***ers. The GM advantage is too much to ignore. These morons can't ply their trade. Let's face it. We're by far the smartest fan base in all of professional sports, worldwide. No doubt. We then hold our leaders accountable. We're in good hands, and shiuld they falter, we seize on that s***. I'm sick of long-term prognosticating. We're not equipped to do that.

If AN took over the A's, we'd win the division every year. Anyone doubt that? Speak up.

Drunken Socialism reigns supreme. Always has, always will.

I vote for row...

at least in the boat there's a place to set my beer.

I'm not a big wine guy... Where do you grow the BEER?

You know...

I never thought about Drunken Socialism...maybe that would work. Growing up in the 6o's and 70's I had always heard a statement that went something like this: Capitalism is about the worst system of government ever invented, except it beats all the others. I always thought that was true. But, I'm willing to explore Drunken Socialism.

I'm TOTALLY willing

to explore Drunken Socialism. Not sure about the Socialism part, but we'll play it by ear.

Russia

I believe that Russia already tried Drunken Socialism.

No,

that was Drunken Communism in Russia and a lot of Drugged Out Communists claim that was never done right.

Wow: 50% don't like the A's.

I'm not sure

which one means that I don't like the A's in that poll. I just picked one to see the numbers.

Actually...

...neither means you don't like the A's. The one that's not about water sports is for the players' would-be wives -- the posters here who really "like" the A's.

i think that means

"f them" to the 09 - 11 a's only, not to the current a's squad.

Question

Is the poll supposed to be about the Supreme Court decision, or the strategical conundrum faced in Oregon Trail when you have to cross a river?

If the latter, don't ford it.

That's the beauty

of Drunken Socialism--it's whatever you want it to be.

heh

I was about to type a similar response to jeepers' question. Clearly you've picked up quickly on Drunken Socialism, once again showing that all men are born equal, but some are more equal than others

You missed nothing, Sir.

Being a fairly good swimmer

and a lover of the water, I prefer wade over row and would rather see the two separated in the poll's options.

Now, as to "drunken socialism", it might just work. Imagine the people not sober enogh to realize the incentives matter to them.

Drucken Socialism...

it sounds like the French Revolution...a drunken guillotuine-fest that ended with the leader getting guillotined...it was poetically appropriate
