If only there were a Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution... And, if only there had been a war that tested and put to bed the theory of nullification... I guess we'll just have to ponder these questions because they didn't happen...

I struggled with being thin (I'm currently thin - but was never thin enough). The pressure that everyone faces - men and women - is immense. As a guy, for me it was trying to make my abs pop and all that. I wanted to be thin and in shape enough so that I could have definition (not realizing that ALL of those…
I look at Brady and I just don't think he wants it enough. I mean, all the models wife and the ugg commercials. Is this a guy that really wants it? If he wanted it, he wouldn't entertain such (searching for the word)....DISTRACTIONS. We all know it was the Patriots signing a fifth Tight End for special teams that…
They have three legs to negotiate on - trade in, car price, and financing. Remove as many as you can. For example, if you get a higher trade in, you won't get a price decrease, or your interest rate lowered. If you remove one of those, it makes their position harder (sell your car to Carmax for example before…
Gillian Anderson is a treasure.
Remember when the entire Denver Bronco's offensive line did this and it was cute and fun? Lynch does it and it is a disgrace? I remember Monday Night Football dubbing in the Bronco's Line giving their names with different voices and lips. Maybe Lynch refusing to answer questions is childish, but questions about "do…
Or Gregg Easterbrook - but only on days that he likes the Patriots for their Tight Ends and not when they are cheating. A self hating monkey puppet.
Here's the thing about Jindal (and Pawlenty, and others). I thought that maybe they represented the new moderate wing of the Republican Party when they were first elected. Not that I would ever vote for them - but I thought, "well it wouldn't be that bad if they were elected" type of people. Dead wrong. And, I…
I think that would be the reason not to include items in the Constitution that could not be amended. Had such items been included in the Constitution upon creation, it is likely that only white men of property could vote now and the only path to reversing it would be a Constitutional Convention.
Article V merely stated that the Constitution could not be amended prior to 1801 (so that States would be allowed to vote on ratification). The only other item is equal suffrage in the Senate (every state gets two).
The Income Tax was ruled unconstitutional and then the 16th amendment was passed. You can make something that wasn't constitutional, constitutional by amending the Constitution.
The last good movie made by Johnny Depp? The Ninth Gate. (kidding, that is a good bad movie though).
The analogy that you use to describe the American Sniper (which I haven't seen) is the same that I would use to describe the Hurt Locker - like diving into a pool of all the same depth. I didn't serve in the military. But, as a US Citizen, I find the problem with most film depictions of the Iraq/Afghanistan war to…
No on men wearing jewelry. Luckily I'm the youngest kid. I got to see my two other brothers mistakes and then exited high school and college jewelry free. On the class ring. I never saw the point of spending $300+ on a class ring myself. My Dad always wore one. Now, my normal view of them is that you have to be…
I think I was told to unpack and deconstruct my statements on Jezebel. Ugh. But I look at it everyday. Charlie Brown with a football!
I've used the free dating sites (OKCupid) and personally, I think the pay sites are just better. I think having to plop down a small monthly fee weeds out people who aren't serious about dating and wasting others time. But, it's fine if that's what people want (a.k.a with Tinder). Also, as a working adult, I just…
I thought it was a hook-up site too. I didn't think it was an actual dating site.
Thank you! I wrote to this column before as "Gamecock" but lost my Kinja password. Anyway, Sierra Nevada is a fine fine beer. And their variations are great too (Celebration!). It's a great party beer too (not too expensive and quality). Wedding planners - this should be your high end beer.
He can't throw the long ball quickly anymore. That's the big problem. He has to take so much time in the pocket to get anything behind the throws. Phill Simms (ugh, he is bad, but not Gruden bad), said that Manning uses his legs most of any QB in the league. He meant it as a compliment, but it's really his…
I met my girlfriend online (match). I don't understand how internet dating is any better than meeting someone at a bar or wherever else. I liked it because you can filter out the "deal breakers" (religion, politics, wants/doesn't want kids, etc) and you can also tell who is actually looking for a relationship. How…
