Good point. They are not. I don’t know if the Venn diagram is a circle, but it is pretty damn round.

The Republican primary has not only shifted to the right, it has shifted to the stupid.

I got a 5 on that test. ISIS brought me straight in to management. No internship for me!

I was about to snark on him, then realized it would probably be best for my life he got the nom. He’s the least evil of the greater of two evils. *sigh*

So, when their previous revenue model is not working (because of people free-riding), it is childish to switch to a new revenue model? How does that make sense?

They gave up Marc Gasol and 2 firsts in that trade. Granted, it’s unfair to give Marc full value because he hadn’t played in the league yet and was a low 2nd rounder, but still. 2 firsts alone is a huge price for a young team that is in no position to win in it all. And they’ve already got 2 firsts going out the door…

Sunk costs is definitely a good way to put it. Those prospects are spent and they aren’t coming back. They’ve got 80-90% of a championship team. Spend some money.

So try to resign Price and go after one or two more relief pitchers over the winter. The alternative is to admit that the team isn’t good enough to win (they would need to get lucky on health to win in 2016, but they came into the postseason as either the 1st or 2nd favorite to win it all this year; the team is hardly…

Shapiro’s way of building a team may be just as valid, but this team is already built. And it’s built for the short term; if their championship window isn’t closed already, it’s only 1 or 2 more years. Restocking the farm system will take years, and if they do anything to advance that goal in the near term, it will…

I’m curious who you think the Lakers could trade for to be competitive in the West. And what assets are they going to give up to get this player? They would be insane to give up picks during a rebuilding process.

I know this isn’t the point of the piece, but holy shit this is scary:

Why are those funding numbers so low? Is there only 1 Medicaid patient using PP in Alabama?

Go for a high five.

Can’t I just set it on fire in my neighbor’s yard?

Holy shit there is so much ugh in that article. From stating that Fisher is the victim (without ever mentioning Govan), to a “Who wins in a fight?” audience poll. That is a shitshow from start to finish.

Yup.

I see it more as the “Why is the coke all gone?” look.

Headline says it all: inmates in charge of the asylum. This means the Freedom Caucus has enough pull to take down Boehner and prevent his chosen successor from taking over. They are dragging the establishment Rs to crazytown, no matter how much they fight it.

It’s not even clear that it was supposed to be Cecil. It’s not like she did the arrow through the head gag.

Pro-tip: Anybody that complains about “PC culture” on the internet is just an asshole/racist/sexist that is tired of being called an asshole/racist/sexist.
