The important litmus test when running for high office isn’t “are you rich?”

Not disputing your basic premise here, but remember, Barack Obama was elected President just 9 years ago. In fact, the last three Democratic Presidents were not rich by any measure. But if you’re going to nominate a non-rich candidate then you sort of have to trust in his or her charisma and ability not to fall down…

I said the same thing while Goodell was having his fight with the owners, and maybe it’s just because I’m a massively petty bitch, but: one of my favorite moments of schadenfreude is when someone who thought they had a seat at the table is reminded that they were always just one of the help. 

No offense, but “Steve Bannon’s career is over” seems like a pretty terrible take. Oh no, he’s not on the board of Breitbart anymore! Come on. He could get booked on any cable news hour he wanted tomorrow or any time for years to come. He could tweet or say any number of things and immediately make headlines and…

Or maybe just ban work parties? Or have them in the afternoon, as a thing to do instead of working instead of a thing to do during what should be your free time?

I would have hoped everyone. Jeter was able to skate by his whole career by being no one which allowed everyone to foist their own thoughts on him. His anodyne self was calculated. However, he is now in a spot where he can’t be a Faceless Man and it is coming home to roost.

LeBatard said something this morning that stuck with me: We’re fast approaching a point where Alex Rodriguez will be more well liked than Derek Jeter. Who saw that coming?

Jeffrey Loria: Nobody will ever be as much a douche as I am.

This says as much about the increasing impracticality of employer-provided health care as it does the Marlins.

Jeter gift basket jokes are so old, Roy Moore doesn’t even notice them while walking through the mall.

But Jeter did arrange for one of his patented “morning after” gift bags to be left at his hospital bedside.

Also this is like the third time you have called Monique outside of her name.

When you think about it it really says something that he, his wife, and his friend felt comfortable revealing their Nazi views (literal “gas the Jews” shit) using their face, location, and covering it up with a flimsy made-up name. How did they Nazi that coming?

Why the fuck would they worry? Over the course of three days the President had 3 chances to give a full throated denunciation of white supremacists who took part in a march, largely in his name, that ended up in one of the marchers murdering someone. And he failed on two of those occasions. Trump’s chief of staff…

Of course the Trump voters they found in Pennsylvania are also Cowboys fans. They really know how to fucking pick ‘em.

Oof. You could cut the economic anxiety in those comments with a knife.

Yeah, I kinda figured Pam didn’t feel like doing the requisite name change paperwork for the fourth time.

Jack Murtha wasn’t wrong when he said his district (of which Johnstown is the principal city) was “a bunch of rednecks.”

This demographic generally has a history of multiple failed marriages, out-of-wedlock children, and step-children abuse.
