Bad hire. His forehead is too big.

Being right about trump was boring, tedious, partisan, ideological. Being wrong about trump? Heterodox, contrarian, free thinking.

Your next team lunch at The Atlantic is going to be fun.

Also, the car was clearly past the "officer" when he fired the 2nd and 3rd shots.

Well at least he doesn’t want them deported to a torture camp in El Salvador…so, you know, baby steps.

First they came for the idiots and I said nothing….

All ASU fans look like they are on meth.

Skattebo looks like a cop.

Ahh, polio is caused by burning coal. Knew it!

Meh, put me on the jury and it might be not guilty depending on the specifics of the claims denied by United Healthcare.

Woke up thinking the same thing. How many people does a healthcare CEO kill each year just to marginal improve the company's profitability? All rationalized neatly away by the logic of protecting shareholder value.

I did. I spent hours looking up people here and building lists for sports etc. Two things drove this: (A) There is finally a critical mass of Sports related posts here and (B) The alternative was spending time with family.
