Your rhetoric is compelling. I’m inclined to vote for Bears, now.

Remember 2009? The President was on top of the world, Philip Seymour Hoffman was alive, & Sting took ‘em all to church at the Kennedy Center Honors.

There’s a problem with money in politics. Don’t get me wrong! I’m doing what I can, though, to tone down the histrionic rhetoric. I’m worried, & I’ve been exasperated, but I’m a long ways away from condemning the system “as a whole.”

Baseball is a good sport.

Christ, I’ve missed baseball.

I don’t buy that one any more than you do, citizen.

You should’ve gone ahead & made it $27, even. Burn!

Here’s an address with a nice ring to it: www.nationalpopularvote.com.

“Our politics is now based almost wholly on big money.”

One unfortunate symptom of the overgrown, cancerous modern election calendar: outlandish overestimation of executive power. Are people aware of how little room there is to move, at the center of it all?

I’m developing a hardened resistance to any attempt to cast some difficult issue as a facile moral dilemma.

Fun game: go & ask a Koch Brother if politicians are for sale.

“Many people allege” is a weak starter, here on the internet. What people?

Is this the most important news item of the century? I’m convinced that it is.

Game on. Here’s them crazy kids, again.

Watching politicos in rhetorical combat is like watching some kind of sport. Grab a beer! This match might be classic! Here’s Trudeau in an election year, to keep with the theme. BTW, tho, the Bipartisan Healthcare Summit is classic, if you’ve got a taste for the dry stuff, an hour to spare, & some pizza. The…

That reporter* is nothing if not stubborn. I’m an American, so there’s a cute factor, there, as well. Fear of men with guns! How quaint! I expect that’s an ignorant reaction, tho.

IDK. I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods & bought a set of Dunlop clubs for something like $250. The junior membership at the course was $150 or so, & the full rate was around $600. If you’re just looking to play, I expect that Golf is no more expensive than membership at a decent gym + gear. I can understand that living…

Most golf courses aren’t ritz, exclusive country clubs. I used to play the town course at $18 a round, & the course just over the mountain for something like $30. Fun fact: the golf course is in decline, in even step with the middle class.

O, brother have you got me wrong. I voted for your guy, for Christ’s sake!
