Charter schools were a way for rich white people to avoid sending their kids to public schools in urban areas. It was the natural outgrowth of redlining efforts in the 50s to keep neighborhoods in urban areas segregated. Republicans always cloak this in the language of providing parents a “choice” in their child’s…

As a PA resident I can only feel embarrassed for the fact Pat Toomey just got 6 more years. And peoples memories are way to short for me to trust that he will pay for this one.

As a PA resident the fact that Pat Toomey (R-PA) is willing to ignore his constituents and die on the sword for this blatantly unqualified nominee is the best example of everything that is wrong with the whole citizens united case. Pat Toomey doesn’t give a rats ass who the nominee is but Betsy lined his coffers so…

I have the same issue with this article I had with the similar one posted in the fall. Namely that the leaped to conclusions in the article that “the pirates are desperate” and the “market for McCutchen is cold” aren’t supported by most reporting.

The email function on his website has been spotty. I’ve been able to get a couple through but can’t imagine anyones reading them.

It would take approximately one damn closing off and one match to bring California to its knees.

There are plenty of other large democratic donors who are both jewish and foreign (Haim Saban comes to mind) who don’t get nearly the same level of conspiracy attention as Soros though. The only thing I can think of is Soros personally pissed someone off.

So Sheldon Adelson is what then? Ok because he’s on the right team?

What’s behind right wingers weird fascination with George Soros?

Kinda goes against the larger point here but is it just me or are some of these people not as rich as you would project based on age, experience and positions held? I mean com on Rick Perry.

What happens when outa work dodgers and lighting graphic designers walk into a bar and find Dean Spanos...

The problem is the NFLPA keeps trotting out average at best representation. They have yet to go after a Marvin Miller type. I mean Gene Upshaw really thats who they trot out there.

Pennsylvania and most everyone I know says played catch though I do have a buddy from the jersey border who says have a catch.

"...and had a good round of catch."

Bungles gonna bungle

Convince me social media is useful

Obvious follow up - what was the best movie this year? My vote is “Everybody Wants Some!!”

To me the whole Joe Madden is a great manager narrative came about because he was willing to try new things and think about things differently (sabremetrics, bullpen usage etc.). This makes for a much better story than writing about the other 20+ old white guys with no personality who have no affect on their teams for…

I am really hoping that (among many others) one of the things that dies off with the baby boomers is the HOF. It is completely arcane and useless. It doesn’t contain all the best players in the sport (ie. bonds, rose), nor the most important people associated with the game (ie. marvin miller, curt flood). What is its…

The lack of uniform first and last name usage as well as inconsistent capitalization of names in your slack chat is bothering me. I demand a lengthy Congressional inquiry to resolve the matter.

Also please bring back the Deadcast I miss the poor production quality and listening to you and Marchman yell over each other…
