When you've stopped caring about the integrity of the game, why not?

He obviously doesn't care if he gets re-elected...

Maybe they shouldn't have named it after him until he died. That's one thing the US Postal Service does right.

Now this is important stuff, anyokie. Lord forbid it gets missed and Missouri benefits from good legislation. Now wake up and smell the legislative coffee.

Tell that to Robert Byrd who is paving the entire state of WV in his name.

ITA, here in GA we have a stretch of "Cynthia McKinney" highway. I'll trade her's for McGuire's.

Now you're getting it. If the Supreme Court can be busy with sodomy rulings and ignore Terry Schiavo, then this is just as important.

If an asterisk is good enough for Roger Maris, then an asterisk is good enough for Bonds and McGwire.

So it is written, so shall it be done. Bud.

Stop the presses! MLB guys who have stretches of highway dedicated to them are less important? I think not!

Considering the corrupt Clay machine runs St. Louis politics, and successfully pulled off the 2000 vote fraud that cost John Ashcroft his election, you would be correct. His re-election is always assured.

O'Hare Field, here in Chicago, was named for a WWII ace Butch O'Hare. Who was shot down in the Pacific.

His Father was shot down by the Capone gang for skimming the profits at the race track.

Will Rogers airport here in Oklahoma isn't quite as dramatic. You win.

McGuire rocks...but he did the crime and he must serve the time (at least in the court of public opinion)
