I’m starring this comment while wearing day-glo bike shorts...what, I can still fit into them!

Yes and yes.

If you want to make sure it’s worth your time, to get a sense for the author’s viewpoint and research, I do recommend that ~1 hour talk he gave at Hillsdale.

Now playing

Dammit, enough with the Cobb “is in a circle of hell” stuff. Didn’t anyone pay attention to the two books about him that came out in the past year?

To make a long story short, a lot of the “truths” about him were bullshit. He was far from perfect, but I’m going to go on a tiny limb and say Curt Schilling is easily a

I assume this was from the high school game (i.e., Oak Hill Acadamy vs Sierra Somethingorother) that was on last night. I was watching a bit of it, and they had Pitino in the back of a camera shot. It caught some teenage dude finishing up a selfie with Pitino, and Pitino looked just about as enthused in the selfie as

“If they serve Bogut ...

I thought you were going to suggest Comet Pizza was going to deliver & serve a fresh pie to Bogut while he was sitting on the bench at the Verizon Center. Better yet, have some cute kid do it as part of a promotion.

What a loser. I hope Cuban says something about this — he can not be happy.

Anyone watch the YouTube interview? I don’t necessarily recommend watching much of it, but it’s an insight into the mindset.

The guy (Will Bunch) who’s interview of her jump-started her firing is (incorrectly) said to be working for the “New York Times” (he works for the Philadelphia Daily News, actually). But it shows

Is this that “fake news” I have been hearing so much about?

I give people credit. So often there is an internet-based outcry “That’s it! I’ll never watch again!” and viewers are all talk, and no action. See Patrick Dempsey being booted from Grey’s for example.

But after people being disgusted by the brutality, nihilism and just plain bad story-telling that came to a head in

I’m confused. Where did the “Kkk go trump” come from — the person who took the picture/owns the Snapchat account, correct?

So is it possible that these dudes were in their “K” sweaters (which seems standard issue “Yeah, my school!” duds for school cheerleaders) and some jackass (e.g., the picture taker) took a picture

It is very difficult, for the reasons you stated, but I think Jost is right on the money, so I think it’s a useful contribution. It’s clearly not enough to focus on sexism/bigotry, temperament or even economics. Liberals can’t be getting offended at every turn (e.g., at Jost’s joke); there is plenty to be really

I think we’re on the same page. But it’s a matter of focus. I get the sense from quite a number of left-wing folks that if a voter said, “Well, I don’t really care about this bathroom stuff, one way the other; I just don’t like hearing about it” or “I don’t like that kind of language and think it’s wrong, but my uncle

This is why sports and entertainment is one of the last union strongholds (relatively speaking) around.

People are *desperate* to work in the sports field. I look at all those people (looks to be over a hundred), dressed in their suits, who paid $65 (or more) to be there, hoping for anything positive in the sports

That’s good Twittering by Raandy, but it doesn’t get to a hard truth: the left —- if they want to win elections —- will have to be OK with people for whom gender identity, racism and sexism are not a big deal. These voters don’t prefer racism, etc but if it happens, it’s not a big deal to them. Purists are a way to

Well...Jost is/was right. He could even see into the future. There literally is an article in the Washington Post right now titled: “Rust Belt Dems broke for Trump because they thought Clinton cared more about bathrooms than jobs.”

Dammit, it’s “extreme” vetting. That’s much more than “powerful”!

Heck, if he named it like a 1990s alternative sport, it could be “Xtream vetting.” That would be even better.

So you’re saying in 1995 Bill Clinton knew about Bill Cosby’s rape history?

And “they all stink” i.e., it is all the same, is a big part of the reason we are in this mess. Unless you think Hillary was going to appoint a hater of the Civil Rights Act like Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, a white nationalist like

Your first two sentences are true, but so what? If the U.S. is (extremely) unlikely to default, its fiscal situation must not be so bad. It’s more confirmation that Trump does not face “the worst fiscal situation” in 65 years.

Well, it needs to be challenged because it is only true if you believe Debt/GDP is the true and only arbiter of how good/bad a “fiscal situation.” And that’s not true.

If the U.S. was currently in such a horrible “fiscal situation”, then our bondholders (who hold the debt, after all) would want a higher interest rate.

That is some outright bullshit, right here.

Or, to cap it off, to remove the tweet after realizing it was making the “non-fake news” news of CBS look bad. No apology, no explanation.

Of course, their three most recent tweets are: US officials block new mining claims in Yellowstone; Drake dancing to Taylor Swift; Minnesota Vikings players running over a sound guy.
