That's why there's a Secret Service. Don't think any protester even making an off-handed remark about violence against the President isn't getting a thorough checking-out. And rightfully so.

Have Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh incited violence? I don't see it. Maybe they've fired people up, maybe beyond reason, but I don't think they've incited violence.

But the fact we have crazies who brought stupid signs, a couple of them racially tinged, a couple of them glorifying violence is not a new development. The country survived much worse.  Those pictures of protesters were nice, but nothing new. When W was in power, I saw enough protest pictures that would make most of the Left cringe (at least I hope they would).

And on healthcare, sure people can get fired up over that. Why shouldn't they, especially if it affects them on a day-to-day basis?

I'm against protesting, but I have no way of showing it.

I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism!

It absolutely is.

There's also a difference between dissent and firing up the low-hanging fruit.

Anyone who doesn't see this ending with an assassination attempt is delusional.

Yep, that's pretty much where we're headed. Can't fucking wait.

Saw Alice in Chains this weekend at the House of Blues...pretty good show. The new singer, William DuVall, holds his own quite well and they played 90% old shit anyway. It sounded excellent.

I thought it was pretty cool how the three surviving band members still have shoulder length hair. Relics, they are.

Anyway, they said they'd be back pretty soon. If you ever liked Alice in Chains I'd highly recommend checking them out next time around. They even played Junkhead.

Wow, this country is headed down an ugly road. Good times ahead.

In every damn category other than rushing yards, its damn near even.

I can't help but dwell on this.

Is it all on the O-line? Or is the Kevin Jones injury going to hurt even more than feared?

This is green font, right? Orange Jebus outplayed him all last year and he was the Bears most productive back last year NIGHT. I think teams are still daring the Bears to throw on them because of the receiving corps. But that shit's gotta stop eventually.

?

Oh... did you mean Whoopi?

I certainly have my share of man love for the Original AP, but his 5.3 YPC yesterday on 3 carries was totally thanks to his first rush for 15 yards, not so much his second and third rushes (for 0 and 1 yard, respectively).

Regardless, my point was that Benson's 141 yard, 4.9 YPC day against the same Green Bay defense that held the Bears to 2.8 YPC last week suggests there may be some run blocking or running back issues (or both) remaining for the Bears to work out.

Or offensive play-calling, as SKO mentions above. Which, now that I think about it, strikes me as very, very reasonable.

You'd hope some video tape and a pen and paper would solve this issue next time the Bears meet the Pack in front of the 4th Phase. I just hope Matty F is still walking upright at that point.

There are a lot of weird people in this town.

This was a great first episode.

I didn't see of the second Monday Night game, but apparently Mike & Mike sucked ass.

http://blog.timesunion.com/sportsmedia/mike-and-mike-need-two-fewer-mikes/2505/



I caught a little of the second half. They were absolutely brutal, Greenberg more than Golic.

He'd constantly "set the scene" reminding the viewers that a field goal would tie it and a touchdown would give them a four point lead. It really bugged me for some reason.

Because Greenberg is terrible?

So, so terrible.

It's too bad Chicago doesn't have a soccer only stadium.

No way in Hell World Cup matches get played in a place that holds less than the United Center.

It's like people go, "Soccer, who gives a fuck?" When's the last time some of you set foot in Chicago? There are at least 8 billion Mexicans living here. In Bucktown.

I'll bet they don't put in Field Turf because I believe World Cup socceer will only play on natural grass.

Fuck soccer.

Soccer wouldn't fuck you, even with the lights off.

Speaking of Totally Unlistenable - sad to say I missed this:

So Wheezer has nothing better to do than to watch this miserable group of slags?

I watched them too.  Hell, they even looked like a baseball team today.

Suck as they may, I'll still be missing it all winter.

Technically, it sounds like Wheezer was listening to them.  I watched/listened for some of the game, too.  Nice to see them start to play some actual baseball now that baseball season is nearly over.

Could you picture him sitting in a poorly lit room with an old radio? Hundreds of newspaper articles tacked up all over the walls? Maybe stolen US Mail?

I could.

I'm picturing him standing in a bucket of heavy water between a pair of homemade Tesla coils, with two hands full of blotter paper and Ron's aww-geezings being beamed directly into his primary auditory cortex.

I imagine it's somewhere in the middle of these poles.

These poles?

Can we get back to squirting about Derecles' return to 2005 form? Best OPS in baseball since the All-Star break. Not bad for a 34 year old a couple years removed from a broken wrist.

I'm still pissed that Hoffpauir isn't starting though. He'd be putting up way better numbers.

Whatever, if you just listened to Steve Stone you would have seen this coming.

Is Drew Barrymore talking dirty to Ron?
