Sounds more Christopher Guest-y.

Just wait until the big meeting with Xi in Mar-a-Lago, which will include (maybe) signing a great trade agreement (??) where China gives the US everything we demand. Yep. Really looking forward to that day. Larry Kudlow is all up in their shit right now. He’s making them promise to import limitless amounts of…

Trippier a better finisher than Morata? Alvaro would have pushed that wide.

Plus, not to be overly dramatic, but if a few more people had bought that weird little Austrian’s paintings, maybe he could have been a moderately successful working artist instead of....

You have built ramparts of asparagus & stockpiled peas to fling ... the rest is courage. God bless!

Wait. It’s coming.

Stephen Miller: “That’s how we all start out. Baby steps. Baby ants. Pfft, zap, sizzle. Haha.”

Rode overland Amtrak one time: Wyoming—>Denver—>Chicago—>Upstate NY. It ... did not go well. We struck our first (!) vehicle in eastern Colorado or western Kansas around 10PM, Dec 23. Some youths had parked daddy’s one-ton dually on the tracks while they were stealing RR ties. I was in the lavatory at the exact moment…

And that’ll punt the matter into the third branch of government. Lower courts will rule mostly against the emergency declaration, except for that one shitty district court in Texas. The SCOTUS will rule 5-4 in favor of Trump, since congress has a constitutional means of defending its prerogatives but chose not to…

Just rolled over 300k on my ‘91 Previa. That ends the break-in period. *sigh* I do recall the ‘70s & ‘80s, trading in the Pinto or K Car or Chevy Nova every 3 years because rust was falling out the rocker panel and you knew the powertrain would be crusher food before 60k. It was simply assumed, and ‘planned obsolescen…

Shouldn’t dwell on it, man.

Woman holding pair of Doc Martens, to sales clerk: “Do you have these in toddler sizes?”

“I looked at her plan and I do actually think it is much better than the GND“

Warren Harding’s cabinet was filled with rascals, and he couldn’t keep Jerry in his trousers.

I’m close with someone who coached junior IIs in Colorado when MS was racing the levels above & had a chance to watch her develop into the phenom she is now. The holing-up is documented at the last Olympics. Put down to flu, but compounded by pressure. She was still brilliant. :) She left Are by helo after winning the…

Shiffrin is highly-strung, like a race horse; she feels the stress and it gets right to her. She doesn’t seem to thrive on pressure, or to hunger for records, or to seek the limelight. Sometimes she holes up in a hotel room with family & probably spend the whole time under piles of blankets. We think of great…

I didn’t blame Sarri for that goal. I blame him for thinking his whiteboard scheme is infallible & too precious to adapt to the players available to him or to the opponent’s tactics. I blame him for insisting every transaction pass metronomically thru Jorginho, who is easily marked out of games. I blame him for…

Off a routine throw-in! Rashford heads it forward, then starts running down the line. Luiz weakly heads into the middle of the field (doh!); Pogba muscles in front of a Chelsea player, then just skids the ball into acres of space vacated by Luiz and Alonso (DOH!), who is never at home @ left back.

Might be more a case of Lukaku can’t keep up with OGS’s new/old-look United. He isn’t mobile, they don’t need him for hold-up play, and he seldom shakes a defender for space when United’s wide players put a cross in. Watch the second goal today: Pogba starts the move at center pitch; scoots the ball forward for…
