  1. Jim Jordon doesn't know Jack. And he's a sex offender enabler. Trumpers pick real winners. Someone also needs to buy the man a suit. I don't want any congress critter dressed like my old shop teacher
  2. The roots of the current GQP began here. It's been ongoing since the mid 60s
  3. Cool discovery!
  4. Cruise prices are going to be more that 3% more expensive next year. Still cheaper than Mickey Land. Still not enough to justify the RV and adjacent costs...
  5. He's officially on the Jordon Train
  6. It looks similar to the builder version of our stairway. The base of the spindles is dark as opposed to all white. We do have the long rail on the opposite side going all the way down. We haven't changed any of the builder colors in three years. It just has not been a priority.
  7. I wonder if these so called "Christian's" realize that it was the constitution that allowed them to practice their current "faith" rather than establish a state religion?
  8. Pass on Chase Young. He’s spent more time injured than on the field
  9. For us it's more principle than $$$...if you factor in the cost of Youtube along with Sunday ticket you're looking at $450 (without Red Zone and who really needs that?) That's on top of whatever your internet (or cable monopoly) service charges for decent speeds. Throw in whatever other add on streaming services like Netflix, Peacock,Apple, etc you are talking about real money.
  10. That should give Nikki a vote, possibly two...
  11. Reminds me of the times I was volunteering at DTW, had a traveler ask about on of the shuttles. Told them to go down the escalator. He asked "how far"
  12. The color guy has long been considered second banana. It's considered a support role.
  13. They did do a split season playoff in 1981 with the strike season. The downside was St Louis and Cincinnati finished with best overall records in their divisions but didn't win either "half". With expanded playoff teams that could include the "best" overall teams in divisions if they don't win a half.
  14. We are in cable monopoly land. And for now pretty much the same for dependable internet service. I just don't trust T-Mobile or Verizon to be reliable for work plus streaming, etc. So for now Cox is the company store.
  15. The local cable kicks nothing free. Even their basic TV service kicks the bill to nearly $100. Unfortunately they're the only outlet for decent internet service.
  16. That was the way we went. Just could not justify the price of Youtube TV plus Sunday ticket. I took the option of NFL +. With the audio only i can actually get a few things done around the house.
  17. Just turn it into a coed flag football league. people will still get hurt tripping over their shoelaces during practice
  18. More often than not when an elected official leaves office staff members find similar jobs. Either with incoming legislators or n someone else's staff. So basically staff stays while the faces change. The question is who is actually pulling the strings.
  19. That's pretty much my thinking on term limits, especially after seeing in action. You end up with the legislative branch effectively being governed by non elected long time political staff who basically have no accountability. By the time the elected official gets up to speed their forced to move on. I'm in favor of terms for Supreme Court and other judges. They can be appointed "judges for life" but after a set number of years need to be rotated to another court or serve as "judge emeritus"
  20. This popped up in my feed today. In normal times it would deserve some discussion Given how badly I've seen term limits have worked in practice (Michigan) I have qualms about that one. However the executive branch didn't have limits until Truman (Thanks FDR). Banning stock trading and PACs and corporate donations seem like a good thing as well as judicial ethics.
