I use an angle grinder for my ears. Guess I’m in the clear.

Dammit. Where’s the article about avoiding the NFL today? I panicked, didn’t know what to do and ended up watching a couple series before I’d realized what had happened.

I honestly didn’t read Diana’s piece that way. Here where the story broke there was a lot of confusion at first because the initial charge intimated that it was a family member. People were trying to figure out what happened. They changed the charge because of Kansas law. To me it just seemed like she was…

You mean the right to not be thrown down a staircase?

She’s not his girlfriend in the way you think. He’s a Kansas basketball player, which means he’s had 150 girlfriends this season. And probably 2 or 3 on the day that this occurred.

This is overly complex and misses the point.

One wonders whether the Democratic party wants the progressive vote. Advancing this line of reasoning would suggest it does not.

Marvelous post. I wish you could have elaborated a bit more.

The only positive thing Trump can possibly do is relieve us of Sam Brownback.

I hope Deadspin comes up with a new regular feature where they show a video clip of a possible injury and the greys diagnose it. After spending about 10 minutes reading through this one I am pretty certain that Kuechly isn’t concussed.

I think you’re getting a little wild with your $155,000 in that savings account. Sure, it’s probably in an FDIC insured account, but what if the FDIC dissolves itself? Then where are you? I’d recommend finding an old Folgers can and lining it with a heavy plastic lining. Then take about $100 out of your $155,000…

I’ll give you Jeb. He might even be left of Hillary.

I don’t see any major differences between the two except Cruz hasn’t said anything about repealing NAFTA. But he has said he would eliminate the IRS, Department of Commerce, HUD Department, Department of Energy, Department of Education, EPA.

Cruz? This must be sarcasm.

Yeah, I agree that when you look further than the printed document to what may or may not actually be believed and executed he may be a bigger disaster than anyone else.

I’m an independent by affiliation but I usually vote left of Democrat. And I differ quite a bit with you here as the divide that won Trump the election over Hillary was over trade and jobs. I had a really bad feeling after she won the nomination by dominating the south and losing or barely winning the states that…

“I’m not sure you’ll ever get a first 100 days proposal out of the Republican party more palatable than this one.”

Right, that’s my point. You would get all of those things with any Republican nominee. What you wouldn’t get is opposition to NAFTA, TPP, a platform that wants to set term limits and get rid of lobbyists (this won’t happen but it could advance the conversation). That’s what makes this platform different from the…

I think they will find common ground on reducing the federal workforce, rolling back regulations, moving forward with the Keystone pipeline, cutting taxes and damaging Obamacare (I don’t think it will ultimately be repealed, but I could be wrong.)

How so?
