Thanks for stopping by, Roger!

You'd think nothing could be dumber on TV tonight than the Republican debate. You thought wrong.

Earl Warren? Seriously, Earl Fucking Warren? Earl Warren was appointed in a pre-Supreme Court nomination battles, pre-Federalist Society, Pre-Constitution in Exile, Pre-Religous Right, Pre-Reagan, Pre-Bork, Pre-Scalia, Pre-"No More Souters" world. If you legitimately think that any Republican won't appoint someone in…

You wanted movement on Gay Rights and Abortion Rights? Thanks for giving us Roberts and Alito, dumbass. A President Gore appointing two liberals (You know, like RBG, appointed by one of those mushy ultra-centrists) to replace Rehnquist and O'Connor locks up Roe for decades, maybe gets us Windsor and Obergefell sooner,…

Thompson was a self-admitted McGovern partisan, granted complete inside access to that campaign, who portrayed McGovern as a saint while spreading rumors about Muskie being exposed to a hallucinogen and writing every hateful thing he could think of about Humphrey. It's the crap New Left anti-politics bullshit in full…

That "hack and fool" is one of the key reasons we got Civil Rights and Voting Rights and broke Jim Crow. In 1948 he stood up to the Dixiecrats and a sitting President who didn't want another fight told them both the time had come to end segregation. Fuck you jaded 70s New Left assholes.

I'm not saying it isn't a prequel to The Americans , but…

I'd say it was still probably more dramatic that time his brother got shot. Or that other time his brother got shot.

Well, David Vitter's diaper-prostitute thing just proved surprisingly relevant for the people of Louisiana, so…

I can see that though. If your average 1930s battleship (or even cruiser) showed up in the 1830s, it'd be able to eliminate the entire Royal navy in an afternoon.

Obligatory reminder that the Perfect Strangers theme fits Enterprise perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I mean, the three best songs in the show are the three Ballads, with whichever one being better depending on how you're feeling that day.

It didn't help that those Yankees came along right when Turner lost the team to Time Warner and they started pulling back on payroll even as the Yankees were spending more and more. After '92 the Braves went after the biggest free agent pitcher and hitter on the market, ending up with Maddux. That kind of investment…

Speaking of Richt, it’s worth pointing out just how unlucky he was NOT to win a national title over these years. In ’02, UGA had one loss but there were two undefeated teams (with Ohio State pulling several rabbits out of their hat that year to win games they should have lost. One loss was good enough for an SEC…

Or every disaster movie ever made?

Indeed, one of Bernie's great strengths this cycle has been his anti-politics freedom to make big promises and harsh criticisms with the assurance there's no way he'll actually win. (See, criticizing the outcome of the Paris Climate Talks yesterday because it's not perfect enough).

It's funny: Judicial Elections were a populist answer to judges being bought and paid for by the trusts. So now, thanks to a lack of campaign finance restrictions, judges can be bought and paid for by the trusts.

Are we sure he didn't just forget which jersey was which? He's had some concussion issues over the years.

Nope, just four: XX vs the Bears, XXXI to the Packers, and the two Giants losses. They've also won 4: XXXVI, XXVIII, and XXXIX, plus last year. It's the Broncos who have lost five: Super Bowls XII (vs Cowboys), the three Elway losses in the 80s, and then the one two years ago vs the Seahawks. But they also won those…

See also, the mentioned Braves of the 90s. Of their trips to the series, they should have won in '91 (though that was a coin flip series) and they blew it big time in '96. The 92 Blue Jays and 99 Yankees they faced in the Series were just better though. Paradoxically though, that 95 title is totally underrated,…
