I interned for a GOP Senator who was part of the #NeverTrump crowd during this election cycle. I e-mailed one of my old colleagues about grabbing lunch to pick his brain on going back full time.

Trump has the thinnest of Senate majorities, and a non-trivial proportion of his party’s caucus there is on record as disliking him. I’ve been wrong on plenty of other things in this election, but expecting the likes of Flake, Sasse, Lee, or Paul to go along to get along still strikes me as unwise.

Or a fan of any AFC North team not based in Cleveland.

Has Saban ever expressed an opinion one way or another regarding player compensation? If takes an approach similar to Rick Pitino it’s difficult to fault him for making the most of a bad system.

The broader question is why these types of hits that aren’t drawing flags seem to keep happening to Newton.

Have you guys ever watched the BBC? News is for NEWS!

The Cubs win the world series.

There’s a stat called PDO, and it’s calculated merely by adding a team’s shooting percentage to its save percentage. The thinking goes, that since both of those numbers are, in the long run, largely a matter of luck, any team’s PDO is likely to regress toward 100. Any PDO higher than 100, then, would indicate a team…

That you think the important election is in 4 years rather than 2 is why you will continue to lose. 

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that if the subject of the joke just laughed and moved on, maybe the rest of us should too.

This post is about how discrimination is bad for the economy. In 2016, the left is anti-discrimination, and the right is pro-discrimination.

Bingo-bango. Every time HamNo or Paul Krugman waxes poetic about union wages in the 50's, they conveniently ignore the part of the bargaining power that came from the unions’ own role in artificially restricting the labor supply to white men.

For a group so fond the idea of American economic muscle, extreme right-wingers have oddly little to say about the economic downside of our nation’s “golden age,” when only white men were allowed to have the good jobs.

Not for long.

Rolling Stone (kind of) owned up to their mistake.

Good. Fuck those people.

“Most likely” should have been a huge red flag for Romano’s editors.

They have drafted and developed exactly three players who have played a seasons’ worth of NHL games in the last six years. (2011 draft to now). 

Since both those teams have been to the Stanley Cup Finals in this century, which the Capitals have not, and Carolina even won a Cup in 2006... yes, better to be them.
