I would add he only got as far as he did, because everyone else had withdrawn early since taking on a Clinton campaign would of been a waste of money. Had it been a crowded field he wouldn’t of made it to the first primary, but as the last person standing he got a lot of protest votes again basically politics as…

No, almost all the rail lines are privately owned so if they don’t want to run a train on them it’s up to them, the US Government doesn’t care one way or another.

San Juan is closer to New York than New York is to Denver. It’s not that far. There are other strike economically against San Juan, but distance isn’t an issue.

Meh, they reacted the same when B. Clinton was elected in 1992 and 1996 and would of done the same if the Democrats had nominated a bland white dude instead of Obama. They’re more angry that people had the gaul to vote for someone who wasn’t them and that those people have power when they win elections.

Yea but if ratings are dropping cable providers can decide not to carry it if the costs outweigh the number of subscribers they’d lose is less than the cost of keeping it around. That hurts the networks ability to both charge outragous carriage fees and force the cable companies to put them and The other channels…

Like the family in Back to the Future they faded away. Except for Deke.

And possibly expecting.

That’s not techncially true since Atlético Madrid will occasionally win a title in Spain and Sporting will occasionally win in Portugal.

A Washington D.C. team hadn’t advanced to its sport’s final four since the Caps did it in 1998, 20 long years ago.

They do show their movies in theaters in Los Angeles and New York to allow films to qualify for things like the Oscars. Limited releases in theaters isn’t the problem as the Oscar qualifications only require a week exclusively in theaters to qualify. After that week streaming can start.

Yea a day off after would be ok, it’s the lost revenue that’s the issue.

Empirically you don’t make it up.

You maximize revenue if you only have one game a day. Also if the whole doubleheader is rained out it makes rescheduling both games a pain.

The force ghost was a work around for Alec Guinness wanting to die in the first movie so he wouldn’t need to be in the sequels if any.

The women’s leaderboard in the 1950's would of been completely blank. The first woman to compete, Katherine Switzer, didn’t do so until 1967 (entering in the men’s category) and women weren’t allowed to officially run in the race until 1972.

As does losing to League One side Wigan in the FA Cup.

The Champions League knockout rounds are played as a home and away series known in European English as a two-legged tie. In American English the term is probably better described as a series winning goal.

Honestly, I thought the loss to League One Wigan in the FA Cup sunk them as the all time great team. They’re a very good team yes, but seriously, it’s one thing to lose to say Liverpool or another EPL team, but great teams don’t lose games that are that mismatched.

It’ll probably remain banned until FISA removes it from it’s banned list and the drug is removed from the Federal Schedule (or downgraded from its current position).

The 5,000 to 1 wasn’t reasonably calculated, it’s just something thrown out there to encouraging betting on a “sure loser” to average out the loses on the sure winner. The fact that they won caused other problems for the house, but it wasn’t a 5,000 to 1 longshot when they entered the season.
