It’s weird to have the name of the city on the home jerseys. 

For Northern Virginia Amazon will be a drop in the bucket along with all of the other defense contractors etc. in the area. Fairfax County is already the second wealthiest county in the country (behind neighboring Loudon County) so it’s not like Amazon is going to to have a huge long term effect on wages and housing.

He went all the way to the opposite end of the state to argue with people who are not his constituents.  That’s pretty dumb.

My favorite bit of this is that she can dislike Turner’s contract because of the pressure it puts on their salary cap at the same time she recognizes that he does earn that much money. I’ve been trying to communicate something like that to Steelers fans at my office. 

I hate the popular belief in the self-reliant man/woman. Humans aren’t solitary creatures.

Aren’t you supposed to buy Christmas decorations before the Christmas season?

Nah, there are plenty of Catholics this way as well.

Could just cancel Halloween for all I care. The candy is nice, though.

Yeah, that was a 5 year show cause for giving a kid a hot dog 4 months before the NCAA considered it permissible. But you can have all the rape and murder that your Board can stomach. 

The “Thin Blue Line” idea is the embodiment of a terrifying philosophy that suggests the only reason people ever do the right thing is the threat of force when they don’t.

Anybody catch where they switch holds and she leads a few measures?  Pretty clever. . .

Soccer players are plenty tough, but you get rewarded handsomely for pretending that a tap is the worst pain you’ve felt in your life.
