“Son, I don’t know why you want to drive a brand new convertible. I’ve got this ‘77 Ford Pinto in the garage, plenty of life still left in that baby. I’ll just grab my Sawzall and lop the roof off for you.”

Just the sheer law of probability dictated that, someday, there would be a Billy Haisley piece that I agreed with wholeheartedly. I didn’t expect that it would be today, but here we are.

I’m not a track guy, but is “a couple of guys in cargo shorts with elementary school fire extinguishers” typical of the kind of safety staff you’d find?

I love this series, and these episodes with Dr. Stoll have been great.

They play the anthem before my daughter’s martial arts tournaments. It’s out of control.

I’ve had a few stones myself. Toradol is bliss. Just like, instant and total pain relief without the narcotic effect. I completely understand why guys get shot up with it at halftime.

I FORGOT ABOUT THE LOAN, OK

Sokratis is...fine I guess? Rob Holding was having a pretty good season pre-injury, so hopefully he is fit. After that, yikes. (Even assuming Koscielny is back, his best football is well behind him)

Yeah...exciting as Pepe is, Saliba is probably more important to them actually being successful in getting back to the top four. 

My daughter is about to start at the same university where I went. Tuition now is about 4X what is was when I attended, and I sure as shit don’t make 4X what my dad did back then. She’s a bright kid, so she got some scholarship assistance, and her mother and I have been putting money away for her entire life--but…

Well, see, the premise of the blog was “unless you watched a lot of Rockies games, you probably won’t remember how awesome Tulo was.” And I provided a counterpoint, while also agreeing with the author that Tulo was, indeed, great.

For Cardinals fans of the era, living in the post-Renteria times of various David Eckstein/Cesar Izturis/Pete Kozma/Brendan Ryan types at shortstop trying to hit baseballs with wet linguini noodles, Tulo was a lusted-after Baseball God.

The point of an impeachment proceeding is not to remove him, which 2/3 of the Senate would never do. It’s to harass and embarrass and handcuff him for a year and half leading up to 2020. The same reason that the GOP-led House had a million Benghazi hearings even though they knew it was never going to “accomplish”…

I think it is somewhat reductionist to attribute McCaskill’s 2018 loss to not being sufficiently liberal. McCaskill was never particularly well liked here in Missouri; she got less than 55 percent of the vote in 2012 against Todd “legitimate rape” Akin; when she won her initial election to the Senate in 2006 she…

It’s a toss up between Glendale and Kanata for the winner of the “Where is the most inconvenient place to put a hockey arena?” award.

If the NHL wouldn’t move the Coyotes, when the league literally owned the team, they were terrible, were losing money hand over fist, and had no fans, to any of those places, why would they move the Flames? Why would the Flames ownership reasonably think they could make more money in freaking Omaha then they do in…

“Lose the Calgary Flames” to...where, exactly? Saskatoon? The NHL has sufficiently expanded to the point where they’ve used up nearly all of the potential “relocation threat” cities. (I think the Canadiens would chip in on a new Calgary arena before they willingly allowed Quebec City to get an NHL team. What’s left?…

Everything is politics. Everything you do, everything you buy, everyone you choose to associate with, all of it has a political component to it. You may not realize it, or like to think about it, but it’s true.

Even if the ball had traveled to where he ran, he wasn’t going to catch it.

I’m a Warren supporter, too, but one thing for sure that I do love about Bernie is that there does not seem to be any artifice to him. He has always been exactly who he is. That’s very rare in anyone, much less a politician.
