Then he took out a straw hat and put it on. He had a whole jig to the song and they had him on the jumbotron. It was so funny I almost fell down laughing.

I would never discriminate against anyone based upon those things. <BR/>However I can't stand people who take their freedoms here so for granted. It seems to be fashionable for US citizens to hate the US for some reason. It comes in all shapes and sizes from the "I would never buy an American car" up through calling our soldiers war criminals.<BR/><BR/>My parents were immigrants. They appreciated this country for what it stood for. Sure this country is not perfect or the greatest in everything but there are some things that I love about it.<BR/><BR/>And to answer the question you are probably going to ask, I can't stand Bush and didn't vote for him. I was against us going into Iraq right from the beginning. But hell if I am going to bad mouth my own country that does so much for me. I don't love all the bullshit patriotism being shoved down my throat. But when the star spangled banner is played, I am going to stand and respect it. And I have no problem standing for Kate's Smith's God Bless America either.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-75361418423476895982007-05-11T15:58:00.000-04:002007-05-11T15:58:00.000-04:00mikepc~ I'm coming to Camden...I love that song!!mikepc~ I'm coming to Camden...I love that song!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071405721004631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-63855589122180757232007-05-11T15:13:00.000-04:002007-05-11T15:13:00.000-04:00Danny Boy,I am not sure how I feel about the God B...Danny Boy,<BR/><BR/>I am not sure how I feel about the God Bless America no leaving your seats but I know how I feel about people yapping it up, hitting the concession, etc. during the National Anthem....shut up, get the popcorn out of your hand, get the cap off your melon, quit moving, quit talking on the phone, etc.<BR/><BR/>You don't have to stand with your arm on your heart but you sure as hell should respect those who serve and have served by being still for two to three minutes.<BR/><BR/>USMC<BR/>1991-1994chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-23650058454917099252007-05-11T15:08:00.000-04:002007-05-11T15:08:00.000-04:00I am late joining today so excuuuuse me if this ha...I am late joining today so excuuuuse me if this has been said.<BR/><BR/>MLB.com is selling pink bats unfortunately my mom would probably swing it at my head if I got her one but for those mom's that thoroughly enjoy baseball I say that's a unique gift.chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14459581363782691582007-05-11T15:05:00.000-04:002007-05-11T15:05:00.000-04:00"I for one don't like that somehow sporting events..."I for one don't like that somehow sporting events are excuses to rally up political statements.

Just a fan who saw Cal play his entire career, his body never did change that much. Not that I have any inside knowledge or even suspicions, I could see someone accusing him of amphetamine use to keep going out there day after day.

Like you said, the weaker conference. But even playing their weaker conference they only managed 50 wins. That would have been good for 6th in the west not 2. Second, they have been kicking tail in the playoffs, but who have they beat? That's right, the Wizards without Agent 0 and the Nets that have a combined age somewhat north of 30.

You still need to do a pretty strong workout for the steroids to really help you get markedly stronger. It is one of the reason pitchers, especially relivers would use them since they help your muscle recover from fatigue quicker.CMFosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291296862033162143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-63899772970499330502007-05-11T14:03:00.000-04:002007-05-11T14:03:00.000-04:00Todd,You're suprised that Ricky failed another dru...Todd,<BR/><BR/>You're suprised that Ricky failed another drug test?Richard K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03531910826978107037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14327075507480008742007-05-11T13:42:00.000-04:002007-05-11T13:42:00.000-04:00Hey, I was at the Yankee game yesterday.
