Yes, and in the NHL draft, taking the “highly touted foreigner” means a kid who didn’t play juniors in Quebec.

Ray Ratto can’t wait for tonight’s NHL draft and the ill-fitting gray suits on uncomfortable-under-TV-lights prairie lads.

One always attends a Jays game before moving. It’s a reliable way to remind yourself why you’re leaving and why that’s absolutely the right thing to do.

It would make more sense to go from Tampa to the North, like what they do when they send all the dead old people back to their home states

Parade starts in Montreal, ends in Tampa. Half of Quebec makes that trip in November anyway.

It’s really obvious when you think about it.  The only way to keep a team in Tampa is to move it somewhere else.

I firmly believe that this blog exists solely as a conduit for Barry to introduce the name Tampontreal.... which I am fine with.

But what city would they hold the parade in when they win the World Series??!!

George Ta-fucking-kei is an American treasure. We need to have his judgment and thoughtfulness kept under glass at the Smithsonian as one of the last examples of the successes of the American experiment.

I mentioned it a while back, but it comes down to us spending an entire generation teaching people that “racism” is wrong, not the actual acts you commit to be a racist. Same thing with fascism. People know that the term is a bad word, and react to it as an insult with no consideration for what it actually means.…

This exactly. This is unfortunately an old argument, and as much I wish everyone would just acknowledge US concentration camps, I’m not at all surprised at the denial.

America has always called our concentration camps “internment camps” pretending they’re something different because they weren’t run by Nazi Germany,…

Takei his words for it.

It says a lot about this moment when people in our country are more concerned with being called racist for doing or saying racist things, or calling a concentration of specific people in camps, uh concentration camps, then actually doing those things.

I happened to see this extremely bad take. It was incredibly frustrating and disturbing. I want to quote a different commenter, who has some academic experience in these matters. This is from Arnheim:

But you know what you can’t call it?”

Chuck Todd is an outright imbecile, and he needs to be fired.

What the fuck Chuck?

Heathcliff was a snitch responsible for the capture and deaths of hundreds of innocent dogs, he sucks

Heathcliff was the better orange cat.
