this is very good

i’m really not sure how i feel about the electoral college except to say this is exactly what it was designed to do. the idea was to have ‘experts’ make sure the candidate that won the majority of votes in a given state was actually a qualified, upstanding, honorable, etc citizen.

i like this

awesome

Thirsty Howell III

am i a dick if i think Sam Hinkie seems like an interesting guy and maybe the jury should still be out on The Process? seems like your take is that he sucks and we shouldn’t reevaluate our opinions of him or of his stint as Sixers GM...

he is starting to remind me of Hakeem the Dream. big man always with the extra move.

did your study take into account the differences between the NL/AL? home field advantage is different in the World Series and inter-league play right?

this is so awesome! alright, yeah! thank you so much. YES!!

it was indeed, and i’m loving DelPo’s resurgence. SO good for tennis.

fair point, but Stan had his own pretty great story at the US Open. he also has the only other HUGE flat groundstrokes that can really go toe to toe in the middle of the ring with DelPo. Who I love, by the way - just need to give Stan his due here.

totally agree that being a domestic violence counselor is not what the NFL should do, and i definitely wonder whether they should be in the punishment business for these crimes at all. but at the risk of defending their suspension policy, they do need to make some kind of public stand for intolerance of this kind of…

on a related note, what the fuck happened to Clive Owen?! he’s awesome, and we never see him cast in the big roles anymore... i wonder who he pissed off in Hollywood.

whenever someone says that our current system is a ‘perversion of democracy’ i have to ask the following: what, in your view, is democracy? how would it look in your ideal version? is there an objective, ‘pure’ version?

Chapman got the final five outs, Hendricks lasted 7 1/3, not 8 1/3.

it’s a civil trial THERE IS NO GUILTY VERDICT

not so sure about that - seems to give her a bit more credit than i think anyone should.

i actually think the texts do imply ‘i’m about to get rich.’ she mentions the trial and mentions what she’ll do with the money in the same sentence... during a conversation about money. if the text conversation was about rape, or PTSD, or how she was feeling maybe i wouldn’t be so cynical.

totally agree with this. watching him do his thing while he was in a Red Sox uniform was often painful for me as a Yankee fan, but i always had to admire him. seems like a super nice guy as well.
