My guess would be that’s in an election cycle? It would stand to reason that someone who’s been in the Senate for 35 years might have earned more than $17K from one of the biggest lobbies in the country.

It’s true. His Facebook status on human rights was “It’s complicated.”

The rare James Madison shade. +1 burning White House

Thomas Jefferson enjoyed brisk walks in the morning. He also, incongruously, thought horseback riding would help remedy his chronic bowel problems.

I know she’s divorced now, but she’s got to be really desperate to want to fuck a song that badly.

It’s not like ESPN is Poynter. It’s a lot closer to E! But what is acceptable? Should ESPN stop allowing sponsored segments on SportsCenter or corporate underwriting of 30 for 30 movies?

I think, by and large, that era has passed. Certainly when you get into the scope of something the size of ESPN or Fox News or a major brand, they can’t afford the output of the news division without sales. Nearly every stitch of NPR is advertiser-supported, and while you can say it doesn’t influence editorial, it…

I’m not sure ESPN feels the same way.

The Bucks drafted Dirk, and the Mavs traded Tractor Traylor to get him. I think Donnie Nelson had a good idea of what he was getting. Not the top-scoring jump shooter of all-time and a 20-year career, but definitely a unique property at that time.

Laura Ingraham, 13 days ago:

I don’t think it’s an “issue,” either; I just think they’ve found something that works very well already without the league’s third-highest salary on the court. So they might be better served spreading that money in other directions instead of throwing it at one guy. 

Fair enough. It just seems like riding the horses they have appears to be working, especially deeper into the season when they’re going to see tired, older teams, and there will still be a market for Paul down the road, especially given that Jokic is coming into the final year of his deal and Millsap makes $30…

I really like watching Denver play. I wonder if Paul Milsap gets traded in the summer, actually, because if anything, he might limit Joker’s effectiveness. At this point, I honestly don’t see where they could even use him, unless he comes off the bench. But the team has gotten really good really fast (at least at…

The entire international prospect thing is weird. Like, how is Darko one of the top five guys in the draft with LeBron, Melo, Bosh, and Wade, but this guy and Ginobili are second round picks?

No tune from me. Just this. This all the time.

There are too many laws, and too many ways through them. Like the tax code, gun laws are purposely byzantine at this point, so that the argument against fixing them is “We have too many laws. What will having more do?”

I don’t know if Mandy Rose can work. All I can you is she works for me.

I actually heard Hunter on some podcast talk a bit about that with respect to Elias. He said he saw the main roster potential as a worker and a character and that NXT was not ever going to be the fully formed version. To Hunter, NXT is not necessarily the G League; it’s more like the Groundlings. Could be someone…

You gotta admit, though, this guy’s heel gimmick is pretty good...
