I was surprised so few did. Cheers to you!

Except...where are you getting any facts or evidence that the 21 would be cheaper to operate? That’s the same argument made for the F-35 and F-22 programs, and we see how PEACHY KEEN PERFECT those have worked out to be.

I’m of the opinion that : 1) no nation is invading us 2) our only potential war opponents do not…

Because we have a 20+ trillion dollar debt and our recent war opponents don’t have air forces, navies or strategic targets.

I like my little mini Dyson handheld, but my wife is not a fan. Our Dyson Animal was wholly mediocre.

You mean to tell me that Hall and Oates were filling the Top 40 airwaves with racist language?

I can’t go for that. No. No can do.

As CNBC regularly broadcasts Jim Cramer, most viewers didn’t notice a difference.

One of my longtime fantasy football leagues had the annual in-person draft at the commissioner’s house, a standard nicely-appointed McMansion in Baltimore County. His next door neighbor was none other than former NFL quarterback Kyle Boller. When he was with the Ravens, Boller would have some of the younger guys live…

I’ve always called Ovechkin “Mr. March.”

Being in good, trim shape does not make one stand out more than say, being over 7 feet tall or weigh 340 lbs or have 20-inch biceps. Most NFL players look like NFL players. Most MLB players - Jose Altuve excepted - look like ball players.

Soccer players look like European Crossfit instructors.

I know! That’s what made his look so obvious - there were other Caps there, and he definitely stood out.

I would say soccer players because they’re just generally kinda tall and trim. Most football players - even kickers! - are just really big people. So are baseball players. Basketball players are generally pretty obvious. Even hockey players tend to have a bit of buff to them, and the missing teeth are a dead giveaway.

My experience with suburban cops has been a mixed bag. My car was hit by a drunk driver three years ago on a bright, sunny, late summer Sunday afternoon in a suburban Virginia gas station. The police showed up a few minutes later. I gave him a clear description of the driver, the car, the crowded suburban neighborhood…

I do a lot of driving for my job. S-XM keeps me sane between This American Life podcasts.

Right on with “Kia Stinger” - that’s about as accurate as one can get. Never mind the product, it’s all about the badge.

I think they’re the sport bikes that older people felt they COULD ride because of the Harley connection. No H-D, nobody over the age of 50 gets on a Buell.

ARE YOU A CORPORATE SPY?!?!?!

You’re exactly right. And while I don’t think e-motorcycles are going to save the world, it’s kind of surprising that H-D is thinking they’re 18 months or so away. Figure they’re roughly 2 years (easily +- 6 months on that) from offering a motorcycle that’s using a power source that other…

Eliminating the Buell line, which appealed to younger buyers with less disposable income, is looking pretty stupid in retrospect.

the curse is strong, and it is real.

eh, getting in the hole is exactly what got Elin pissed off in the first place

Golfers have clubs. Douchebags who shout have skulls.

I think I see a solution here.
