“I’d fight in hell with gasoline trunks on.” --Diego ‘Chico’ Corrales

But what about Trump himself? I was specifically asking about him.

You think Trump lands in jail?

Destruction Crew were pretty awesome back in the AWA. They had the same finisher as the Road Warriors, only they tweaked it and it looked much better. Enos would have the opponent on his shoulders, and would push up on his legs at the same time that Bloom would hit him with the clothesline off the top, causing the…

Sounds like Kotzwinkle’s “The Fan Man.”

This ship has fucking sailed. The general voting electorate is too stupid (and/or disinterested in) to digest nuance, vis-a-vis the Mueller report/Barr’s letter/the whole Russia shitshow. It’s about declaring victory, early and often, irrespective of objective truths or facts. We don’t live in that kind of society…

You mention it only in a throwaway line, but being afraid to fly really makes Amtrak a much more desirable option for most trips.

Joey wasn’t the uncle (that was Jesse). Joey was just Danny’s friend who came to live with them initially after Danny’s wife died in a car accident.

Pettis is the guy who did the jump-up-the-cage-kick and beat Benson Henderson, right? (BTW, what ever happened to Henderson? Is he still relevant?)

Good call on both accounts. No real lateral movement, and Pettis retreating in a straight line.

I think a lot of the MMA guys’ spacial awareness is totally different from boxers, and it’s due in large part (obviously) to the kicking component. This Wonder Boy guy feels comfortable with his hands by his side because he uses a variety of kicks to keep his opponent from closing distance, sort of like building in a…

What’s crazy is Wonder Boy’s counter right hook from the southpaw stance actually lands flush on Pettis, but only a fraction of a second after Pettis’s Superman punch lands. Took all the sting off of the check hook, but you can see it land on the slow-motion replay.

Not a bad synopsis. I can’t disagree. I think of McMahon along the same lines as Trump, in that—sure, they’re homophobes and sexists and racists and whatever else—but it’s all in service of endless self-enrichment. I.e., they’re both kleptocrats who are not anchored in any specific ideology (religious, political, or…

I’d guess McMahon’s personal and political beliefs probably aligned fairly closely with Warrior’s. McMahon treads on nostalgia, and seeks to profit from it at every turn. This is no different.

Looks like the ringside doctor. Took a brief look at his face and cleared him.

And after you have a couple of drinks, walk down about a half a block on Georgia Ave. and get an incredibly delicious bagel at Call Your Mother Deli. Sooooo good.

Weren’t there four votes involving healthcare? The first vote was for a motion to proceed (McCain voted “yes” on this). There was also the vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act (McCain again voted “yes”). There was the vote on the Obamacare Repeal Reconciliation Act (McCain voted “yes”).

Man, I’m pretty surprised y’all didn’t remember James Washington. He had a couple of pretty good years with Dallas when they were winning all those Super Bowls. Hard-hitting (read: borderline dirty) strong safety. Tough guy.

I went and saw Starr wrestle under the NOVA Pro banner last year, and he stole the show. Real good worker, and obviously this promo was awesome. Legit good guy, and an acutely aware person, both politically and personally.

This is good Gonzo journalism. Fun, interesting read. Love your turn-of-phrase.
