Have to admit that I wasn’t really expecting much from today, but this got off to a much hotter start than I anticipated. I never thought the Steele dossier would even come up at all, let alone in the first 10 minutes. I also thought it was interesting that Comey said he couldn’t comment on it in a public setting.

It’s also my birthday! I’ve always enjoyed sharing it with Prince, but sadly, we never got to celebrate together. I did get to see him in 2015, though!

I think 16-0 is more impressive.

I just looked up the lyrics to the “Keep The Change” song referenced in the post. It’s, uh, something.

I’ve never been, but I don’t think the dress code is especially formal for this Ball.

Asked for a statement, X-Pac said he had two words..

It’s also a Knoxville bar, a Louisville bar, and Lexington bar, a Cincinnati bar, a Birmingham bar, etc.

Still waiting on that penalty for illegal touching

True Papa John anecdote from a Louisvillian who knows a handful of people who know him: When he travels, he orders from the local Papa John’s store, and if the pie doesn’t pass his rigorous muster, he’ll make time to contact the store manager to berate him/her and address the problem. I heard he once flipped his shit…

They’re even better now with the matte finish.

Keep practicing! There’s an audible *beep* a fraction of a second before it fires. That’s what I listen for as a cue to press the parry button. Press it as soon as you hear that beep. Works every time.

Stamina for me.

It’s fun to imagine the ad guy who came up with this fancying himself a millennial Don Draper delivering a 21st century version of “I’d like to buy the world a Coke.”

This. There seems to me a tremendous amount of hypocrisy in voting for politicians who want to cut entitlements while feeling you’re entitled to a job in a dying industry and the government is going to help you get it. Um, the fuck?

I heard back-to-back stories on NPR this morning about coal. The first was about recent upticks in black lung and ongoing efforts to treat it, and the second was about a miner who died in an accident a couple days ago.

Why the fuck is this an industry worth revitalizing? Is anyone lining up to bring back asbestos? How…

Fuck this shit. Ice cream cake is gross and comes with even grosser gel icing. Puke.

Old friend Jia just wrote this same thing.

You don’t have to cut what doesn’t grow.

Same. I think, or at least really hope, that he likes being in Baltimore and is committed to winning there. And they should pay him whatever he wants.
