...maybe because describing the anti-LGBT activity that was done years ago by a different organization set up by the owner (not by Chick-Fil-A) as “virulent” is frankly hysterical, particularly given that Chick-Fil-A has pledged to stay out of the debate entirely since 2012 and does not, as a company, donate anything…

Is he not also signaling that the shot got off before the buzzer (as opposed to whistling and waving laterally)?

The most vivid testament to the cultural weight of the JK is the fact the the new JL is virtually indistinguishable from it. The JK ran for TWELVE YEARS and its replacement is a visual clone, although revised significantly underneath.

My son attends (legendary UMich coach) Red Berenson’s week-long hockey camp in the summer. My kid asked Red about Mike Legg’s shot, and Coach told him that back in the day, he had to ban anyone at camp from attempting the move all week with the promise they they would work on it as a group on the last day!

Michigan is the best program in the state and Beilien is the best coach in the B1G.

60% of Chicago’s tax dollars go to debt, and it’s the biggest, most prestigious city in America that is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. The state of Illinois is basically bankrupt already, with schools and Medicaid in total disarray, and the Congress passing unconstitutional budgets when they pass them at all. 4…

Missed this comment yesterday but health insurer profit margin have been quite steady at 3-4% for several years; this makes them one of the least profitable components of the entire health care industry. I don’t think there was a insurer CEO in the top 100 in terms of exec pay the last couple years either. That said,…

Exactly one a-hole in this video - the guy who gets lightly clipped by a teammate in his right leg, then dramatically and inexplicably grabs his left leg to stupidly try and draw a stupid whistle. Happily Soccer Journalism rules dictate that every goddamned flopping diving whiner gets fawning sympathy, though, so…

I appreciate this article being more nuanced than the usual “insurance companies are evil; they charge too much; they don’t cover every procedure and every person,” even though those criticisms are inconsistent given that the companies aren’t particularly profitable.

While Snyder (one of Michigan’s richest residents) has definitely let the taxpayers foot his legal bills, and Bill Schuette has undeniable motivation from a campaign perspective, it’s not fair to say no “major actions” have been taken. Over $100MM federal and state dollars have been allocated to Flint, enough to fund…

This is a remarkably elegant resolution to a lawsuit that was a debacle on every side. This case was a non-stop clownshow on the part of everyone involved that somehow a) resolved without the ecological and financial disaster of city-wide water bottle delivery and b) resulted in a real hope for orderly service line…

There is still the issue of the people who don’t have a properly installed filter and also do not have a way to go pick up the free water that is allotted to them by the city and state.

I said I wanted it when Pontiac imported it from Australia, and I DID buy it. And, uh, look how well that turned out...?

Paying the highest rates in the nation, mind you...

There are literally no valid points in this article. The things Illitch did wrong are listed as: 1) Made a lot of money building a business, 2) Made a lot of money in real estate, and 3) Took maximum advantage of municipal subsidies.

I was at an FCA dealer just this past weekend. I asked if they honored the Employee discount on Hellcats and the salesman said, “and then some.” They had a Charger the floor and a half-dozen (between Chargers and Challengers) sitting outside in the snow. I didn’t really go into it with him, and I don’t think…

I can’t even tell which punch is supposed to be horrifying. The uppercut had him obviously dazed; the KO shot was routine boxing. Or is this a meta thing where we are saying boxing itself is horrifying, and I just haven’t had enough coffee?

Regardless, it is certainly possible. In fact, Lansing, MI just completed the job last month, although it took a long time: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/12/14/lead-line-removal/95419004/

Some folks on this thread might be interested in the below regarding the crisis response in Flint:

I know that Beyonce organized a fan fundraiser for Flint that brought in over $80k (which was quickly delivered and put to good use), but I had not heard that she personally kicked in that kind of coin...do you have a source for that? Would love to learn more.
