Love this!

OK I love this conversation on so so many levels. Thanks for writing about it!

I'd say let's put Tamika Catchings and some Candace Parker in there (or a whole host of WNBA stars) as well...so he can get the full effect with emphasis.

oooh ooh we get to pick who we're guarding now?

Awesome. Geithner is all mine.

It's scary how well I know you.

Devra Renner — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:08:58 -0600

I think I may live in your head.

I just spelled it wrong to throw him off of his game.

Arne you glad his name is Arne

Devra Renner — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:30:49 -0600

But maybe you're calling him "Arnie" so he'll be caught off guard and I can run around him and get my left-handed lay up shot. I bet that's your plan...

Devra, you can guard

Sarah — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:19:19 -0600

Devra, you can guard Arnie Duncan.

I can't play center, but I can handle point guard

Devra Renner — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:58:10 -0600

I just need to get some new Chucks and I'll be RTG.

So, you, me, Lieberman...

Sarah — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:21:25 -0600

We really only need two more ladies.

You and Nancy can stay at my house.

I declared myself basketball eligible too

Erin Kotecki Vest — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:07:37 -0600

...but I really don't have anywhere NEAR Lieberman's credentials.

Also- I assume we'd play with a men's ball, not a women's ball. I mean, there are some 'practical' reasons you might not play co-ed. But if it's pickup games? Heck yes... time to lace up ladies.

Excellent Analysis

Maria Niles — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:18:10 -0600

Although I've heard a fair bit of analysis about this race, yours is the most thorough and in depth analysis I've seen. Thank you for that. As you point out, this race along with a couple of others is likely to serve as a bell weather for 2010 so it's worth watching even for those of us outside of New Jersey.

My senators and asking what they're doing about it.

Thanks for the heads up!

I was in a small town last week that had a sign that said "Thank you for visiting, remember 'If you sacrifice liberty for security, you end up sacrificing both liberty and security.'" (A twist on a Jefferson quote)

I hope we find a balance between our protected right to privacy and protection from terrorism, or we may be passing on an America to our children that looks very different than the one we see in our heads.

keeping your eye on the ball

Your a woman of substance and I can see willing to stand up and address what needs to be addressed bless you Kim for keeping the Blogher community informed on such issues ..

American Princess-Your posts

American Princess-Your posts are charming...and interesting. What a marvelous writer you are.

I lived in Chicago for many years and love the city.

That said, I can't imagine why anyone is supporting the Olympics there. You (we) can't afford these circuses. Oh, but maybe they're designed to take our tiny minds off other issues. Somewhere in history, hmm, I can't think where, this was tried. And you know what happened to those boys.

BTW, did anyone notice Michelle complaining it was such a sacrifice to go to Denmark to present the case for Chicago? No mention of the sacrifice Chicagoans are just expected to make.

Another soul-less bastard heard from

vomviersen — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:01:32 -0500

This soul-less bastard has lived within the city limits of Chicago since 1979 and has a spouse employed by the City of Chicago. As long as city services for "ordinary people" are in the sorry state they are, I cannot support having the Olympics in Chicago. Yes, I admit I'm taking it very personally. There is no way that at least part of the money being spent on the chase for the Olympics did not come from we-the-taxpayers. And CFD and CPD are still without current contracts and that is a huge sore spot to me.

The last time I was at Washington Park was for a dog sports event. May I say that I was extremely glad to have a protection trained dog (albeit a retired one) in my vehicle on the way to and from the park.

I don't think seven years is enough time to whip this city into the shining miracle on the lakefront that it is being presented as to those who don't know any better. And certainly not without more of your, and my, money.

My big regret is that we'll still be 5+ years away from retirement age and the ability to leave Chicago and Illinois when 2016 rolls around.
