The US Forest Service generally lets natural wildfires burn, except when they need to protect property/people.

He got caught doing the dirty work that U of L wanted done. Being fired for cause isn’t “punishment.” It’s tearing up a contract. He’s going to court to get the contract enforced.

Ivanka Trump advises the President, publicly apologizes for him, and has an office in the White House. Calling her stupid, more or less, may not be correct, but it isn’t “petty.”

He was hired to do the shady shit he did, and got cut off short by U of L when the FBI happened to catch him. I don’t blame him for threatening to burn the mother down.

Unfortunately, it’s like finding a big bag full of obviously stolen/drug money. If you spend any of it, you’re probably going down as a participant.

I would bet any amount of money that people lied about what they did in the first war ever, and after every single war ever since then.

In the 70s, it was time to do unmanned planetary exploration. We had reached the limits of manned flight technology at that time.

Repeating the Apollo lunar missions was an effort with diminishing returns. It was time to do something else.

The stuff that CR said about the Samurai was true.

How would a road test be useful in predicting reliability? That’s ridiculous. “The way this car goes around a corner tells me that the ball joints will be especially durable.”

Other than the fact that this is the United States, and it would be really hard to get away with it, how is this a crazy idea? It’s apparent that Melania Trump didn’t sign up for this, and hates it.

I suppose it’s interesting if she were meditating on top of a mountain in Tibet and refusing to communicate with the outside world, but not so interesting if she has a different toy deal, and probably no need to pry if she’s too ill to make a deal.

Three in 16 years? Those big hotels in Vegas are paid for with money from people like you.

The Packers had to choose between Favre and Rodgers.

That’s two in 16 years. Let me put you in touch with my friend the bookie. He needs to put his kids through college with your money.

At least it’s a good song.

“Yes, my Local NFL Team sucks since our Star Player got knocked out for the season. Them’s the breaks of the game. But I’ll continue watching, because that’s my absolute duty to America and footba...

“Great football players get injured like other players, and their replacements suck. That’s a big problem for football.”

AFAIK, the whole point of the article is that the game can’t be played without these injuries to the star players who make the game worth watching, and the backup players suck and aren’t worth watching unless you just like watching no-talent scrubs hit each other and get injured; i.e., it’s an unsolvable problem…
