The thing people are missing about the strike in Chicago is that it isn’t just about pay; the CTU is only allowed to strike about pay (really?), so they have to roll all the real issues into one big “pay us more” strike. It’s about the myriad other things that are a clusterfuck in the CPS (and I’m sure they have this…

But Ol’ Miltie was wrong about that and LOT of other things, too:

The Raiders went to London right after their game on Sunday, and had all week to acclimate to the time zone change. The Bears didn’t arrive until Friday night. The Bears looked exhausted during that game, and I have to think that jet lag had a lot to do with it. It’s like none of the Bears coaching staff has ever…

Superdawg is a 5th tier place that only exists to free rubes from their money. 

Very fitting for the Giants to give up on a guy the rest of us wrote off 5 years ago

Dude got gold, frankincense and myrrh the day he was born. Talk about being born with a silver spoon...

He’s just jealous that the California Assembly successfully passed something.

Okay, go draw the Sanskrit symbol for good fortune somewhere and let us know how that excuse works.

If memory serves - and we all now fickle a thing memory is! - the first ten minutes of the first episode of the entire series presented a threat, and then for the next eight years everyone went around explaining how fucking important that threat was. Then, in the third episode of the final six-episode season, the…
