Yeah, these happen. 2009 was a fun season for what it was.

And to the republic for which stands for him.

I can no longer abide any discussion of how Christians need Israel to exist to bring Jesus back.

Victory Note?

He's just got this huge pile of whatever substance (adderal?) in front of him and his sister just eloped with his friend...he's got troubles because Sosa is angry he failed to kill the guy who testified at the UN. Or, He's got this cocktail of drugs administered to him in the bunker by his doctor to keep him going, and his field marshals keep telling him the war is going badly and so he needs to rail about his old political adversaries. Or, [insert some Hunter S. Thompson-esq ref to Nixon in the final days of Aug 1974] He's got nothing left to gild, destroy, or to make shabbier so he's got to go against Obama.

The raise the share price a couple cents each quarter people were not savvy investors in long-term plans.

They DOGED away all the science

Do Israelis care if they can just whisper in someone's ear that they have got what Ghislane had got on Trump.

I'll take it.

The Duffy's are on a paid road trip paid for by companies that the Duffy's regulate. Clarence Thomas frequently takes gifts from his 'friend' the wealthy oligarch. To think how much sweating people have done over their FDF in the government over the years.

Land has always outvoted people. We get it. Rule by the rich. We can toil in their underground sugar mines and have half a day off to worship their deity.

Proportional representation would be nice.

apropos of nothing I call the space to the left of the pitcher and in front of 3rd base "Iowa" when doing infield drills for my softball teams. It was because I was trying to stop my pitchers from making wild throws to 1B when running in the opposite direction (i.e., toward 3B side foul territory). Basically, you might be better off if your momentum is taking you in that direction allowing the 3B to run in and make a throw. I drew a "box" to describe the place where I wanted the 3B to take over the ball and i did such a bad job drawing the box that it looked like the State of Iowa. So, my kids have called it Iowa ever since.

got me curious so I checked Hungarian Origin (Orbán): It is a Hungarian form of the name Urban. It was historically used to denote an "educated man" or someone who lived in a town, rather than in the countryside. [1, 2, 3] Latin Roots: It stems from the Latin Urbanus, which carries connotations of being refined, cultured, and sophisticated due to its connection to city life. [1] Other Interpretations: Some sources suggest that in a Slavic context, the name can be associated with "eagle

It helped so much to get rid of Orban. Can you imagine when if we can get rid of Putin? It probably would still be a baddie in charge but perhaps a better type of baddie.

This is encouraging. We have reached 1939 'appeasement isn't working' stage of the conflict for the dem leaders.

da fuq? That's insane.

So, we have lost our elite SP and our gritty position players are all hurt. I guess we are just left with Paws?

For now though

I deeply regret that 4 week period where I was rooting for Ted Cruz against Trump in the 2016 cycle. The ideal candidate: a person who is worried about how his grandkids (i.e., the future) will think about his legacy. You don't get too many of those.

Good. I'm glad this is a wedge issue. Trump's corruption, imperial excesses and vanity boiled down to the term: billion-dollar ballroom.

I want to level set this topic. Is Fetterman the way he is because he "took a journey" because of his illness or as a reaction to Oct7? Or is he this way because he was always this way? Connor Lamb would have been my preferred Senator there in every way.

Listening to that audiobook from Thomas Ricks about Churchill and Orwell. Orwell was downright despondent for having been an ardent socialist, gone off to Spain to fight to see that Stalin's totalitarian secret police had taken over all the goodwill of the "Revolution" and hunted him and his fellows in the Left harder than the fought the Franco regime. He then returns to Britain and endures the idiocy of appeasement and folly of the Colonel Blimpish failures of the first 2 years of the war. He knew that Stalin was not to be trusted at all...he came to appreciate Churchill for being willing to throw away the British class system in favor of national survival. Now I bring that up because Orwell was cursed with knowledge and among those whose curse was ignorance.

Baseball is a horrible Bitch goddess again.
