Come on Owen, you know Charlie Strong would probably be awesome at our beloved NC State.

Huh wow, it’s almost as if her campaign team are familiar with the results of the last half century of presidential elections and realized their candidate doesn’t have the charisma and innate likability to get away with some of the more generally unpopular policy decisions of her predecessor or something.

Isn’t the issue less “Mandatory Minimums are bad” and more “Mandatory Minimums shouldn’t be used for petty offenses like drug/prostitution related crimes?”

They’re 18, you goof.

Well a theoretical Olympics hosting where you don’t have to spend billions on needless construction projects that exist solely so that you have a fund for kickback money would be very attractive to many cities.

Art isn’t easy

IIRC the Los Angeles Olympics in ‘84 were the most profitable for a host city. They didn’t have to build hardly anything and used existing facilities and made out like bandits.

It’s a shame, because it’s almost all mismanagement in both IndyCar and NASCAR’s case.

How can you not list that Bob Pittman was the former CEO of AOL and one of the key “leaders” in the disastrous Time Warner merger? Has it really been so long that we’ve forgotten that tremendous mess?

I mean sure, people should go vote because a low turnout election benefits him and the GOP in general. Staying at home because “oh he’s such a joke and can’t win” is a dangerous and stupid thing to do. And if the voter demographics were as overwhelmingly white as they were 20-30 years ago, yeah he’d be sitting pretty.

Are you saying every critic/writer should have to preface everything he writes by saying, “In my opinion....”

“France did an interview with the AP where he basically admitted he has no idea what he’s doing.”

MGoBlog had something to do with this, probably.

SO you’re saying because they had a couple of years of subpar attendance because the team was less than amazing that it means they should have intentionally spent years making sure none of those fans they had before the downturn in play came back?

“Storming the arena with pitchforks” would require the 76ers to still have enough fans to manage to have a mob.
