This was floating around before the election, but nobody published it because it could not be substantiated. CNN claims that a summary of the contents were included in the briefing given to Obama and Trump last week. Hence CNN reported it now because the intelligence agencies deemed it credible enough to report to the…

Disregarding schools like Boise State, you still have little overlap between the power conference football programs and on-campus medical schools. Most public medical schools under the same umbrella as the flagship undergraduate schools have their campuses in urban areas of that state. For example, the University of…

To this person...I turned down plenty of work in my one year “vacation.”

Its more like something like this...

They didn’t get any signatures from the not-for-profit credit union that is paying for the naming rights. I am a member and I have no idea how this happened. There is no way this happened without some kind of payoff.

Mnuchin’s family actually made money from Madoff and refused to surrender any for those who lost all.

Jesus H Christ. We have been dealing with increasing global competition for more than 40 years. The first shift was due to Europe completing a two decade reconstruction project. The next shift was the slow end of Bretton Woods when Arab nationalism led to the end of cheap oil and eventually the end of the gold…

What the other person said. Also Petco directed hotel taxes towards paying back the bonds. However it did not raise the hotel tax, so it only needed a simple majority. Tax raises require two-thirds. Hence this didn’t have a chance...which is good.

Abe Pollin was a true mensch for investing in a part of town that was absolutely transformed. And he did it with his own money instead of blackmailing the District or playing them against Maryland and Virginia.

Jesus Effing Christ. I moved to San Francisco a decade ago from San Diego because the SD economy mostly employs: wireless engineers, biological researchers, soldiers and drug mules. I was none of the above and LA wasn’t my bag. Given my history of education at public universities, I wasn’t terribly employable in SF…

My name is my name!

Call it what it is and change the headline to “Attractive Drunk Female College Student Is Recorded Upskirt While Doing Drunk College Student Stuff.” This sort of thing happens at EVERY game at big schools and has for decades.

There is little in this world that makes me happier than his calls into Kornheiser’s show to pick football games.

Just think how rich and spoiled he could be if he had an actual fucking union that knew how to decipher the league’s accounting practices.

That is irrelevant. If a news outlet wants to lure a team elsewhere, they could just do that. It doesn’t change the fact that its a horseshit deal to replace a stadium that isn’t even 30 years old.

Does the league office have anyone who is qualified to evaluate product reliability beyond a sales pitch? Streaming Sunday Ticket is just as unreliable. It crashes on a regular basis. Not user restart situations. The stream just stops. Unfortunately, there is no equity in which all broadcasts are then blacked out. Or…

There’s also the small issue of not being able to find cheap shit or interest-bearing safe shit to invest in right now.

Well there was that collapse in Chinese equity markets followed by a not-so-clearly-explained Chinese devaluation last year. These events only set off short-term pullbacks in US equities last year and the beginning of this year. However, pretty much all East Asian equity markets (and currencies) are still behind their…

I watched from the bleachers last night. It was fun to watch the Giants stay alive. It was much more fun to see the impending doom on the Cubs fans’ faces as Tony sang.

Former political staffer here, living in a liberal bastion. There was no way in hell I was voting for Bernie Sanders for President. Nice guy and I liked his early records. But he’s not a Presidential candidate.
