Two very ambitious men. It's interesting to learn about the Founders squabbles. Jefferson was a real jerk.

I'm a Benetti fan. Every PBP announcer has their own style, it takes some getting used to. Benetti is very good, it takes skill to be able to work effectively with different partners and adapt their differing styles and personalities effectively. Not to mention all the extra curricular stuff the modern day broadcast has to contend with. But then I view the TV broadcast as a supplement to the game. The game is on the screen, I don't need anyone to explain every detail to me even though I'm usually multitasking during the game. The commentary is just background noise. It's a bit like overhearing a couple guys around you discussing the game and other stuff. That's what most people do when they go to the park. If you want straight PBP, get a radio.

What's been interesting to me lately after studying the "founders" a bit more is that quite a few of them (Hamilton, Jefferson, Burr, Adams, etc) were all jerks to some extent. Look at all the feuds..

Wait for it...

At least until another court rules otherwise or the 5 unwise men on the Supreme Court weigh in

This regime is receiving absolutely no respect from any world leaders. They play him like a fiddle

Happens all the time. (I got a gal named Boney Maroney)

They are openly advocating for insurrection

RE No Kings Protest... Part of JVL's missive today... https://www.thebulwark.com/p/kent-state-and-the-event-horizon-gravity-density-black-holes-june-14-trump-parade-no-kings?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

I get it. I'm looking at 73 years in a month or so. Sometimes I feel quite a few of generation fell off the monkey bars or that dastardly schoolyard merry go round a few too many times.

I didn't spend the late 50s and early 60 hiding under a desk because of Japan and Germany. Someone ask Trump why Russia built a wall to keep their half of Germany contained.

That's still a bit over his head, maybe we need a third grader.

I'm willing to bet most of the car burning and whatever other destruction occurring at the LA protests were caused by right wing trouble makers. Prove me wrong

The guy is so demented he has no clue what he wants, except a great big parade and lots of Diet Coke

Yes, I gave it the song title, tweaked it a bit using its questions and it did the rest. I expect Trump to ban it shortly, once they come to take me away

Except when you pull up at a WAWA, Sheetz,or other quasi mega station/inconvienance store and half the pumps are either down or occupied by someone buying coffee and other stuff after they finish pumping

A little added context via ChatGPT

He reportedly like Les Mis, evidently plays it all the time. I'm assuming his favorite character is Thenardier

Would love to see an old fashioned gully washer this weekend

One more question about the Home Plate Club tickets, I'm seeing on line they're basically season or partial season ticket packages only, so you're looking at basically corporate ticket holders. BTW I'm watching the Miami/Pittsburgh game on MLBTV, the similar padded seats behind home plate are pretty empty.

I'm probably an outlier as far a buying tickets but one of m criteria when buying seats in my price range is looking for sections that are not too crowded. There's nothing I hate worse is to have to stand up several times during a game to let "fans" in or out of rows. I came to enjoy the game and not be distracted by musical chairs during the game, and it's super annoying when it's done during the inning. I'm not the least bothered by the "optics" on TV, it's less annoying than to see some "fan" on his/her phone trying to show off because they're on TV No get off my lawn

In addition to the No Kings events going on locally this weekend there are a few Evans leading up to next week's Juneteenth observances....
