The average politician might not have a huge ego, but the guys who run for President do (even seemingly “normal” ones). It takes a massive ego to say “the Presidency is the hardest job in the world. Brilliant men have failed in that job. You know who would be freaking perfect for that job? Me.” Plus, you need a little…

She can still get out of this. This was not a final decision. The judge denied her a preliminary injucntion, which essentially means that she is not allowed to record with other labels before a final decision is made because it’s not an emergency. This judge will make a final decision in a few months (there might be a…

Appeals to the Appellate Division are as of right. And you’re right: this was a preliminary injunction. She hasn’t lost yet.

This is nowhere near being over. She was denied a preliminary injunction but can still get a permanent injunction later (that decision will probably come in a few months, possibly after a trial). To oversimplify a bit, preliminary injunctions are for emergencies only. Essentially, the judge ruled that this is not an…

I do too, but he’s right: it’s completely formulaic. You can always tell if House’s most recent diagnosis is correct based on how much time is left in the episode. And every season has more or less the same arc: House struggles with his Vicodin addiction, makes progress, has a setback. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good…

He dropped out a week ago, but, yeah, this article is late.

I agree that Rand Paul has a few good ideas that the Republican Party should adopt (like criminal justice reform). However, he take libertarianism to fairly extreme conclusions, but he hides it well. Here are the two examples that stand out the most to me:

Ted Cruz has plenty of gun experience. That’s how he cooks his bacon!

Maybe he just really likes Budweiser.

There was a report a few weeks ago that if Lynch retired this offseason, he would have to pay the Seahawks back $5 million from his signing bonus. I know that he’s rich, but that’s still a lot of money: that’s a little less than half of what he made this year. Does anyone know what’s going on with that? Did he work…

I haven’t seen exit polls on what he supporters did once O’Malley was declared not viable (as you may know, the caucuses are weird and if a candidate doesn’t get 15% in one location, their supporters are told to vote for someone else instead), but some pre-caucus polls indicated that they were going split roughly…

If there is a national primary day and the result is that no one gets a majority, there can be a run off a month later. There are definitely ways to do it that are more fair than what is done now.

I almost completely sure that he was training her in some form. Whether or not she was his daughter, I don’t know. I was leaning towards not, but this article makes a good point that it needs to be someone we know from previous movies in order for the audience to care. That leaves Luke, Leia and Han, or a descendant…

I always liked using the money bag, but it doesn’t seem to even be on anyone else’s list. I don’t think I had a special edition.

One of my friends in college bought Axis and Allies. I played once and we decided to start playing at like 10 or 11 pm. It took like an hour to set up and for him to explain the rules. I quit and went to bed before the end of the first turn.

The DH debates always focus on whether pitchers should be hitting, but I think they’re missing an important element: should sluggers be playing the field? I say yes. If the Red Sox want to pay Ortiz to hit, they should be stuck with his bad defense too.

The silloutte you saw almost definitely was a shadown. Shadows can do weird things. Someone probably walked past on the street and the angle of the light gave him a long shadow.

I heard that it was cotton growers who wanted to get rid of hemp cloth.

This is my favorite argument against the moon landing being fake: if it was staged, NASA would have had a second success story by now.
