Global shipping of commodities in many cases is more energy efficient than growing stuff locally.

But seriously fuck coal rollers, preferably with a rail spike covered in pissed off fire ants.

He has a point. To expect someone running a business to voluntarily do something not in the business’s best financial interest is silly, even if they have a lot of money. Since these guys CAN get public financing by being dicks, they will. If you or I were good businessmen we would do the same (we aren’t, that’s why…

Similarly, when I open the front door, nobody expects me to have pants on.

Gregg Popovich is the cranky old uncle who on your 18th birthday gives you the best advice you will ever hear in your lifetime, something that you will carry in your heart for the rest of your days.

Bill Belichick is the cranky old uncle who loses you in a card game with heroin dealers.

Gregg Popovich is the best current coach in the NBA.

How many public figures from the world of sports do you know who can prompt this kind of discussion? If Curt fucking Schilling can attract attention and debate with his inane Twitter bullshit, why not Kareem?

Goddamn, why don’t people talk about Kareem Abdul Jabbar the scholar more? The man is astonishingly well-read and conversant in a ridiculous number of things, and has a number of academic publications. Why haven’t we drafted this guy as one of our leaders in public discourse, I do not know.

The G-class is selling like hotcakes b/c Mercedes actually made it as modern as possible...

Thanks for this article.

I especially love that the one ragging on Obama with the creatively spelled “stimulous”.

Rajon is my second-favorite sports oddball, right behind Josías Manzanillo.

FIFY.

I listen to the Diane Rehm show fairly regularly, and especially the Friday News Round-up. Probably the best interview/show she did was when Newt Gringrich was running in the 2012 election and was on her show. He ditched half way through, after agreeing to be on the whole hour. She spent the next 1/2 hour having…

I’m so saddened by this announcement, but happy it’s on her own terms.

On a similar stint of being in the wrong era, I think Dirk came into the league where big men played in the post and were supposed to muscle up. It’s funny how the league has recently played a lot smaller and big men play with range, basically making Dirk an ideal fit.

“...and the only player in the NBA who is currently outproducing him on offense is the guy who is literally breaking the game.”
