Put me in the pro Alex A camp. He and Dan have been outstanding.

More evidence the Pa GQOP Sen race is rigged... These guys can't even run a simple state primary, let alone a state or nation..

Wait a sec, I thought the former guy who lost said election results should be known election night. I smell hankey pankey in the GQOP primary. It's rigged I tell you, It's rigged....

This parody account is dead n...

Especially since the Pa Senate results seem to hang on mail in ballots.

That's basically what happened in Pittsburgh with the Prince/Woods team. The Pirates wanted more sponsor related stuff in the booth. The also offered Woods a very small raise which he turned down. I was 12 when we left Western Pa, but I remember listening to the game on Saturday or Sunday afternoon while throwing a rubber ball against the brick wall of my grandparents house.

How come no one ever wrote a song about a dead possum in the middle of the road?

The last time I heard baseball and possum tied together was way back in the Bob Prince PBP days with Pittsburgh. He was the second guy in the booth, nicknamed Possum. The nickname supposedly came from Enos Slaughter who said he saw better heads on a possum. edit He also worked with Mel Allen, Red Barber and Ned Martin during his career... https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/jim-woods-2/

I'm actually rooting for this. Would rather see a Jet Blue takeover than a Frontier/Spirit mess... https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/16/jetblue-launches-hostile-takeover-bid-for-spirit-airlines.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axioscloser&stream=top

At least in the last 25 odd years....

I really don't give a flying ....... If young Mr Self Entitled was anywhere but Congress he'd probably have bankrupted his trust account paying for lawyers to stay out of jail.

He’s had second, third and even fourth chances. He’s shown who he is. Any other profession he’d be standing on the street corner faking saxophone tunes to eat

if true...

They just keep getting scummier... The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has been at war with campaign finance laws for more than a dozen years, stretching at least as far back as its decision in Citizens United v. FEC (2010). On Monday, the Court’s six Republican appointees escalated this war. The Court’s decision in FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate is a boon to wealthy candidates. It strikes down an anti-bribery law that limited the amount of money candidates could raise after an election in order to repay loans they made to their own campaign. Federal law permits candidates to loan money to their campaigns. In 2001, however, Congress prohibited campaigns from repaying more than $250,000 of these loans using funds raised after the election. They can repay as much as they want from campaign donations received before the election (although a federal regulation required them to do so “within 20 days of the election”). The idea is that, if already-elected officials can solicit donations to repay what is effectively their own personal debt, lobbyists and others seeking to influence lawmakers can put money directly into the elected official’s pocket — and campaign donations that personally enrich a lawmaker are particularly likely to lead to corrupt bargains. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) manufactured a case to try to overturn that $250,000 limit, and now, the Court has sided with him.

The church was holding a luncheon reception with a local Taiwanese church honoring a retired pastor. From what Ive seen the victims were all of Asian decent.

I saw something where the pastor threw a chair at the shooter.

I don’t miss having to endure Meijer, the one in Commerce could be nuts at times. Especially weekends. My wife does the big orders and I’ll do the “we need” runs. Since I head out mid morning or early afternoon it’s not to bad. The local Food Lion is good for staples. Despite the chain’s reputation the local one seems well run and closer than their competitors. We like Fresh Market for produce and their prepared food. For entertainment we run up to Richmond for Wegmans. This is definitely one place you need to visit for the experience alone.

I'm on my annual RV pricing kick. It's a phase that will pass quickly fueled by the fact that every site I look at has a bot that pops up and "offers" to help, blocking my view of Class B and C porn. The same with car dealer sites. If they left me alone I just might give into temptation.

Houston just designated Nico for assignment 🙃 (DUCKS)

And if he does take over he'll end up with a 1970 Fiat. As an aside I saw about a half dozen Teslas on the highway traveling between Roanoke, Va and Richmond. I notice at least one daily around here. What boring uninspired motor vehicles.
