I have a vague recollection of some bidding process involving military-grade trucks, but nothing beyond that. Wow.

I am sure I would be surprised about the hardware we buy. On the other hand, it only angers me when it does no good at actually accomplishing any foreign-policy objective beyond using the stuff in battle,…

WTF is that? I had ZERO idea that Navistar was making such things. How long has that been going on?

Also, what would a modern Scout look like?

Serious question regarding the rock hall of fame: How do you institutionalize an art form that is, at it’s very nature, anti-institutional? Performance in sports can be counted, measured, has plenty of head-to-head matchups over a career to consider, etc. But music? And rock music?

Also, the Moody Blues?!?! I won’t…

Boo! Hiss! Monsieur Prost has been maligned with the exact intensity and frequency of the campaign to beatify Senna. It’s highly misplaced.

I don’t think they say Dinan on the throttle bodies. As I understand it, they machine factory throttle bodies, either using yours or a used part that requires a massive core charge.

I read the same thing and thought WTF? After all, a D.O. ticket is pretty much a free reason to lock up somebody, they get out in 24/48 and 95% of the time the ticket gets dropped at appearance. It’s a bullshit deal, and about halfway to resisting arrest, which is another bullshit deal.

100% true. This guy is a friend and customer of my brother.

Regarding your second point, there are plenty of cases of fires associated with vehicles that have been turned off. I know of lawsuits against BMW (successful ones) that go back almost 30 years for the original 750iL V-12 (a seriously complicated vehicle) that burned down owner’s houses when they caught fire in the…

End? That’s really an interpretation. He’s a spry 87 these days.

Perhaps they could reanimate Minnie Miñoso?

He literally Facetimed his mom with images of what came out of his ass. I am pretty sure there are sufficient pictures to go around.

All shit names, particularly the Brayden, et al, collection, along with the Kayden varietals.

But, props to Ozzy and Talon. I hope they end up being some bad ass hockey players.

PS I thought I knew one of the Cades as a friend has a son who made some draft boards last year. He was not on those lists, but plays junior…

It was Deadspin’s own Drew Magary who wrote that wonderful piece in GQ, lamenting that we are destined for a President Brayden some day. Of course, he was ripping Jaxxon, but Jaxson will suffice.

But Jeter doesn’t get to decide what writers write.

Man, that guy had a GREAT relationship with the New York media, who gave him free passes for 20 years on all sorts of shit. Now that he’s Mr. Big Shot Owner, he’s feeling far more heat than he ever did in the Bronx. He’s also apparently as adept at fielding this sort…

Critical, hostile, or, hey, what about factual?

The guy was some big shot fund manager, too. It’s still a crazy story.

Did you miss any? You missed the biggest one: Don’t shit on the beverage cart. It should be number on on your list, or, perhaps, number two.

I lived north of The City for a few years (just under and hour from our station to GCT; 57 minutes is not an hour, people!) and absolutely loved the views along the Hudson Line headed north. Also, being on diesel-electric trains, the Hudson Line had the fewest problems of any MTA train...and then all hell broke loose…

Looks like a good time for a cocktail—and there are plenty of options in Midtown.

Because the babysitter turns into a pumpkin at 6:00 pm, or the school starts charging $1 a minute after that time if you don’t pick your kid up on time.

It’s a cascade of urban commuting pain.

And if you don’t have family and your spouse is traveling, options are pretty much zero. You’ve got to make the train.

Stevie Wonder could have seen the writing on the wall up in Milwaukee.

Why should anyone feel bad for this company? This has been coming for decades and only exasperated after their financial debacle 10 years ago, writing subprime loans to people who had no business buying $20,000 motorcycles and then wondering why…
