A) The city only defaulted because banks who invested in the Cleveland Illuminating company bought the debt and refused to roll it over even though Cleveland was still credit worthy.

Eh. Yes and No. The effectiveness of money in politics is actually very mixed. Money IS very important for running against an incumbent, but $200,000 should have been plenty for a primary, had it been spent wisely.

Yeah that was my thought. Like, I don’t think she ever has a chance of winning but that 25% is a good 15% more then I was expecting and my standard voting policy is

~250 years old in the US. It being a “fuck you” sign i believe predates it. Like the original connotation was suggesting to someone they were worthless. the O actually being 0.  In a few different cultures independently.

they got the video right in the article.  It’s not like the NFL is gonna respond.  They are just going to pretend it doesn’t exist and threaten ESPN and the other networks telling them they need to not let that commercial play anymore.

Hahaha, i don’t know why Nike things this is good business but i glad they do, and hope it is good business.

Hey that looks kinda nice.  Last time I said that about an SUV was when Hummer’s were new.  (Note: I was 10.) 

well plus Ghee is just better.
