Sean McDonogh so...shouty.

The GOP retirements plus the huge number of "run for something" candidates who are running will likely make a Dem majority in the House. The Senate is the question mark.

I wonder how much Wexner money is in Jim Jordan's coffers.
-
His wikipedia page is amazing. Lots of "but Wexner was found innocent of this" tagged at the end of a lot of crimes he was near and around including assassination and cocaine smuggling.

Re: Trumpstein The name that hasn’t come under enough scrutiny is this Wexler guy from Victoria’s Secret. You can imagine how they used his pull to entice young girls into “modeling”

I rewatched “Anthropoid” on my flight back from DTW the other day and it strikes me just how oppressive the Germans were to the Czechoslovakians. Imagine having that as a neighbor country 80 years on. Imagine if the response to the JFK assassination was instant reprisals, wiping off the map entire villages and rounding up hostages and lots of the sort of torture that i didn’t want on my ipad screen on a flight. We talk a lot about patriotism in this country but those who live elsewhere love their countries and their own identities just as much.

U Chicago bombarded my son with glossy mailers ever since his PSAT came out and ultimately it was all a circle jerk to up their application numbers and lower ratio for the admittance numbers. I'm relieved my daughter is very interested in in-state Virginia schools. She's not about that stress. She's been told that she won't get her inheritance unless she graduates with an actual brick and mortar 4 year undergrad degree (plus she has to spend a night in a haunted house). If she can accomplish that and get an actual university education without killing my retirement so much the better.

there is a lot to the notion of sports spending being an arms race for no real benefit besides to those who benefit from the money in the first instance. I've always been a person who thinks this stuff provides an incalculable public benefit. I remember on the old board doing the calculations to what Magglio Ordonez' 2006 Game 4 ALDS home run was worth. It was worth how much in terms of public good. There was some sort of insane multi-attribute garbage analysis going on but the idea was to quantify the qualitative.
