I like this version. It didn’t go anywhere but was on this great Tom Jones album I bought in London several years ago

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/01/05/kissimmee-resort-cancels-marjorie-taylor-greenes-jan-6-event/ A fundraiser and book signing at a sprawling Central Florida resort featuring U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been canceled after the resort’s owners discovered the event was also a commemoration of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. “Please be advised that Westgate was not made aware of the purpose of this event when we were approached to host a book signing,” Westgate Vacation Villas Resorts said. “This event has been canceled and is no longer taking place at our resort.” Requests for further comment were not immediately answered. First reported by NBC News, the event hosted by the Republican Party of Osceola County invited residents to meet Greene, a Republican from Georgia, Trump supporter and self-described “firebrand,” and get a signed copy of her memoir, “MTG” at the Westgate Convention Center in Kissimmee.

It's a Divisional Championship, the NFL equivalent to JR High Graduation. Hang the banner, pretend like you've been there before. You celebrate when you get the Golden Ring

I doubt this actually happened. If it was true how many labor laws were broken? I remember going out with my dad when I was 14 or so on some of his lawn service jobs. This was in the late 60s when the industry wasn't what it is now. I wasn't allowed to even touch things like the mower or electric clippers. I was regulated to raking and pulling weeds,( even though I could mow a few neighbors lawn on my own) Also in the fast food industry, you weren't allowed anywhere near things like the fryer or meat slicer unless you were at least 18 or older.

I had a chat pre pandemic with someone who picked up a part time job at one of the big box chains. The way she was jerked around over schedule and hours was outrages. Not knowing her schedule until the day before, last minute changes, demands that she work on days off, etc. This was a temporary retirement gig, not a career.

No one wants to work for assholes who jerk you around on schedules and hours

Something, something, Hunter, uh, er, well, Biden Crime Family. Fifty bucks says this won't move the needle on anything Stinky's Party Ethics Committee is investigating

I expect there to be a complete front office house cleaning. Rivera actually hired Mayhew. I haven't scoured the Harris sports empire for clues on who might be next.The 76's and Devils may give some more enterprising better clues. The Commanders did hire Eugene Shen as VP of Football Strategy earlier this season and Chen was actively involved in the two big Washington trades. That said I'm still pulling for Ray Agnew to get the Commanders GM job.

The Letterman Show. Davis along with David Sanborn and Marcus Miller. A real gem

With my nieces and nephews I'm more into high fives than hugs. Hugs just feel strange these days. I won't object if someone else initiates it, but won't make the first move. Maybe too many hugs from great aunts with bad perfume when I was young

i cut my teeth on the old Eastern Hockey League. One of the original goon leagues. But that was eons ago. i still find it more fun to spend a little time at a minor league game than to try to navigate the NHL's, NBA's and the NFL's of the world. I admit to being a dinosaur

My thinking was along the lines of getting fans into the sets. Minor league hockey seems to thrive in smaller markets where there isn't that much competition. Much like minor league baseball. We're probably talking apples to kumquats. No one is watching any college football outside of the major conferences on TV either.

Minor league hockey still has some appeal so maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Of course you don't need the number of bodies for hockey as you do football.

I'm old enough to remember the Continental Football League and the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) back in the mid to late 60s. True minor league ball. A few clubs had agreements with the NFL at the time. You would possibly have a couple clubs putting a few players on the team. 32 man rosters with something like a 5 player reserve squad. There is too much competition for sport entertainment dollars to make an enterprise successful now. The NFL owns Sundays, Monday, Thursday nights, Colleges control Saturdays. Not to mention what you can watch on TV now

Well now.....

We can't let our children read controversial books. But throw a party and get a bunch of 17 year olds drunk? Why not...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. What part of the First Amendment do these theocrats do not understand? Definitely a treasonable offense

Posting this for the graphic insert. From the Virginia fourth and seventh grade social studies book (I think both grades used the same book). I was there in 1964-65 (7th grade, one of two Yankees in the class)

Maine weighs in..

A lot of folks still can't handle the truth from nearly 250 years ago.

She could have at least mentioned that she removed the Confederate Flags from her state Capitol while governor.

His mother loved him better. The suits at CBS didn't
