You know nobody really wants the olympics any more? Right? Paris and LA were the only serious players in the 2024 and 2028 Olympics. China was the only non joke bid for the Winter Olympics.

Who else?

I got a really bad paper cut on Monday. It required a couple stitches. Took off Tuesday.

The plus size stuff my wife gets from old navy is only a few bucks more. Not really 2-3X as much. Maybe it was like that in the past? Old Navy is unbearably cheap. She got a box full of 2 dozen pants and tees for about $50. Free returns on half the stuff that didn’t fit.

My schools main IT guy is in the class next to mine. From our recent conversations it seems that he gets to plan his day as he pleases. Today he was making my class some fish tanks out of old computer monitors. If he wanted to I am sure he would have time to search everything. Best to be safe, especially if you don’t

That’s all I really know. lol

All are tall white guys but live different lives. Two of them have kids who go to my school. One of the kids was briefly in my class. My wife and I chatted them up at school events. The other guy I know coaches a 3-5 park and rec basketball team. He was a real jerk to what I think was his nephew. He openly talked

Nope. It is a job. They get paid $200-$500 a day.

“No I don’t think Obama, Kerry or any other politician who can’t do their current job while campaigning for another is right and I think it should be illegal.”

I know you were joking, but it could be done. On a pier or something where magikarp take over the roll of pidgey and ratata.

The model is working good for everybody. What is $60 when you play the game everyday for 2+ hours? The after school program here plays madden so much they break it. Every damn year I buy a second or third copy.

2 years of free labor from 18-21 YOs is worthless. The only thing productive people that age can do in the span of two years is join the military. In countries with these requirements they spend many months and $ training people. When they are finally trained they are very unproductive.

Hey, eBay has a special “featured deal” of Muhammad Ali. Just thought somebody could make an article about this.

Corporate Taxes should be raised. But if we raised them to the European average it would make a negligible difference to the deficit. I am not one who believes all big business leaves the US after a tax hike, but we should expect a noticeable exodus.

The employees pay income tax and payroll taxes. Business taxes only account for a very small amount of government revenue. Not calling you out, but people are so clueless when it comes to taxes.

Out of control military spending is a liberal canard(I am a far left liberal). Like food stamps and welfare most of that money comes back to the government through taxes. The military also employees or partially employees 15% of the population. We need to focus on revenue. That’s the real problem. We need to raise

Stassa- We NEED a Sadiq Khan article now.

It’s not like Luke’s going to come in and start teaching Clarkson and Sacre X&Os. Outside of Pop, the best coaches in the NBA are the ones who are young and properly manage rotations. As long as he doesn’t piss off players he will do well. Very good pick up for the Lakers.

They can’t trade him... I would highly doubt they cut him. It’s not like they have a loaded roster of talent where every roster space is precious. He is believe it or not liked by the fans. So many fans wear Nick Young jerseys. He is on media guides and posters all over staples center.

Now that Kobe’s gone? Everybody wants to play in LA. To many players money and prestige come first. Playing in LA is worth so much more in endorsements. The reason people like Aldridge and Howard werent signing with the Lakers was Kobe. The sports media is shit, they had way too much love for Kobe. If you read between
