Any election Dan Crenshaw loses is a good election.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

It's happening everywhere. We bought a 4 BR ranch in 2016 for $170K in NW Indiana (basically the eastern edge of Chicagoland) and we keep having to contest our assessment because the city thinks its worth twice that now.
Interest rates be damned ... how can young people afford a house?

'Sheed was the final piece in the 2004-05 Pistons' championship puzzle. Simon Gratz HS, right?

I'm on your side, dude, but here's the problem:
"Freedom" for Iran prolly means restoring the Shah's son to power in Iran. That's not an improvement.
The Shah and the Savak made the Iranian revolution happen. Putting Shah 2.0 on the throne pretty much guarantees another Islamic revolution.

... so do younger Americans. And they think no one on the GOP bench has the slightest bit of Elvis in them.
You can subdue people who are used to a boss telling them what to do. You can't do that to people raised knowing they can do pretty much what they want.
Trumpism is fucked.

A White House Staffer Appears to Run Massive Pro-Trump X Account A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED.

SCOOP: An X account called Johnny MAGA with 300k followers that described the Obamas-as-apes video as "a masterpiece" appears to be a sockpuppet account for a White House rapid-reaction staffer. @makenakelly.bsky.social has all the details:

Any member of the team that shows up for the State of the Union for cheap applause will have that stapled to them for eternity.

Proud of you, too.

Trump didn't turn the volume up to 11. The people who use Trump as a vessel to do as they please did.
I can give a fuck what happens to Trump. If what should happen to the people who use Trump to get what they want comes to pass, I might start believing in God again ...

Let's pause for a moment to observe the fact Matthew Tkachuk did something to make the entire Tkachuk family even more worthy of scorn and ridicule until the end of time.

Two things:
How do you know a white failson went to Notre Dame?
Just wait ... he'll tell you.
Why did that white failson go to Notre Dame?
Because his parents were to cheap to buy him into Dartmouth.

I wouldn't wish what happened to him on anyone, but, seriously, he was was a fringe shit-thrower.
A lot of what he said was noxious.

Kirk is worth more to these shitheads dead than alive.
The collective reaction to his death was "Who?"

Quoting Charles Pierce (loosely): How in the fuck did John Lewis not show up to work on Capitol Hill with an axe most days?

I passed the nursing boards in fall 2020. I've seen my share of people die.
None of them, and I mean no disrespect to those I've cared for, looked as terrified of the hereafter when they gave up their spirit as this mincing pederast motherfucker.

If US Soccer was serious about developing players, it would spend the money it's sitting on developing players.
Instead, that money goes to waxing the assholes of the people who run US Soccer.
And that's just one example.

What a game!

Am I the only one who noticed how thick the medals are? They look like they're more than a quarter-inch thick.
I hope some of the winners wear them to the supermarket or soemthing.

The French shaved the heads of collaborators and spit on them as they walked the streets.
Just saying this for no good reason or anything ...

In an entirely unrelated note, the other guy still has a very punchable face.

He's very easy to like.
I helped cover the draft lottery the night the Spurs got the rights to him. It was kinda cool he was ready to go promising Spurs fans a title or three or four.
Between him and Jokic, it's a great time to watch the NBA.

Toni Preckwinkle is the most powerful politician in Chicagoland and probably more powerful than Pritzker. As long as she doesn't start walking around with her bathrobe open, she'll win this election by 30 points.
