I'll say thanks, too. You've done a great job with this little corner. I've enjoyed coming here to learn things and blow off some steam. I may not come around much after the election, because I'm supposed to try going to bed earlier. (We'll see how that goes.) It's been fun, though.

I can't even remember the details of how it happened, but at work just a day or two ago, I heard or read the word "juice," and I immediately wanted to yell, "JUICE?!? THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!"

So what's the problem? You shouldn't have had any hope to start with.

My team is more hope-deflating than yours!!

As a Steelers fan, I'm puzzled by your pessimism (or lack of optimism, at least). The Ravens have won eight of the last 11 meetings, I believe. Even when they sucked last year, and the Steelers were on their way to the playoffs (ultimately coming pretty close to the AFC Championship game), the Ravens won both games.…

If anyone's interested, here's a good story about that "Go Cubs Go" song, the man who wrote it, and his daughters: http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/…

They were against Trump in the primaries, and from what I can tell with some quick Googling, there are people in the family who are pro-Clinton or still anti-Trump. But I think the Cubs' owners recently had a change of heart and gave $1 million to Trump, believing that even a racist, bigoted, lying, sexually…

Incredible national championship game in men's college basketball, too.

"It's fourth-and-inches and the Giants are going for it! You gotta love sports!"

Yes, I've been to Mount Rushmore. It was part of a weeks-long road trip my family took with another family. I think I was 12 or 13. I certainly liked it, and thought it was impressive, but my memory of it has otherwise faded a bit. I'd like to make it out there again at some point. (I think my favorite spots on that…

That's a great story — and beautifully told, too. Have you ever been, Tippi? I saw it at night for the first time last Christmas Eve. It's always great, but it was less crowded at night, and thus a little more quiet and serene, which made it even more suitable for contemplation.

Can you explain why you think that? I've seen and heard other people saying similar things about Obama's legacy. I like him, and will miss him, but it's not obvious to me that he'll go down as one of the truly great, consequential Presidents. So I'm curious about what you're seeing.

Historians always say Lincoln is the GOAT. Who am I to argue with historians? Also, I always leak tears at the Lincoln Memorial. No other Presidential monuments or memorials have that effect on me. So Abe gets my vote.

I don't know if this is exactly the sort of thing you had in mind, but the first show that pops in my head is the episode of ER in which Carter and Lucy get stabbed by a creepy David Krumholtz. Oddly enough, I'd really only started watching ER around that time, even though the show had been on for several seasons.…

This story — which is depressingly similar to Velocirapstar's story from Kansas — may have gone unnoticed because of the events of the day, but I wanted to highlight it:

It has been exploited by Trump and the Republicans for partisan purposes, of course. But despite what Reid wrote, I don't know that Comey did this because he wanted to hurt Clinton. (If he did, why didn't he just charge her initially?) He was in a no-win situation. In his previous testimony before Congress, he said…

Agreed that there is no "there" with this story of the emails. I hope Clinton and the Democrats don't go too hard after Comey and make this seem like a partisan thing; they risk looking as if they're trying to hide something. Let it play out, and I trust that in a few days or a week, we'll find out that this is…

Agreed. I don't know about the jury instructions, but there were apparently seven charges of conspiring to prevent federal employees from doing their jobs through intimidation or threat of force, and four charges of possessing guns in a federal facility. Frankly, I'm a little surprised that those were the most serious…

While he put in a bit less than $31,000 this month, the campaign was spending $332,511 reimbursing Trump properties for expenses.
