  1. She met a tragic end in the Hustler
  2. come up with the ruling you want and hire clerks to write a story to fake like you care...
  3. for sure... just pushing back on the "problem" of saying we need a black woman on the bench. The vast majority of our justices were picked due to their race and gender.
  4. this is painful to watch.... you wonder how some people can tie their shoes.
  5. You would need a distinct course on Christianity alone just to explain all the differences within. Otherwise it’s just very high level stuff you could scrape off a Wikipedia list. If anything make it a combo of history/geography/religion. Evangelicals live in a bubble. That’s by design. And to them it’s all normal. In their defense it’s totally logical to believe what they do because it’s been indoctrinated in them their whole life and they’ve often been sheltered from the world to not know any better.
  6. Until Thurgood Marshall every SC pick was chosen based on their race and gender.
  7. Don’t judge. We all can’t be George Clooney.
  8. I saw it show up. Is it a doc or show? Based on your Rec I will watch it
  9. But if something happens to Alito or Clarence on Biden’s watch then there will be games.
  10. I don’t think any drama will happen. Heck even Graham might go along. With no shift occurring it gives them an opportunity to be “bipartisan”
  11. and the religious schools. Defund public schools so that the most vulnerable people who have no choice are left with absolute crap. Charter and private schools can choose who attends. There will be a lot of kids trapped in an underfunded school district. Kids with autism, special needs, learning disabilities... kids who's parents don't know how to sign up for charter/private schools.... Some things are not able to be fixed via alleged market based economics.
  12. A Karen last night in GP used the N word at their school board meeting.... complained that her kid got in trouble for using it even though "they" get to use it in songs and such.
  13. My wife expressed interest and I figured at Comerica Park you really need great seats. with a legend like that I figured just go for it. I won't miss the money.
  14. If only Brad Pitt had been there
  15. His logic makes no sense.... "He's right but I didn't vote for them". Is it because he thinks they weren't good enough? Buehrle was good. Not saying he was a HOFer but he was damn good. O
  16. I really like it. Started a few months ago. I thought my wife and I could watch together but it’s a bit heavy for her. She thought it would be a little more tabloidish. The production quality is top notch. I was thrown off after season 2 when they replaced the actors. It made their final scene together much more memorable. I am a fan of Philip.
  17. I’m done predicting but that matches the macomb wastewater findings last week which they say is a precursor to case counts. I’m certain we were facing a backlog from the labs from the big holiday rush. Of course with test shortages and wait times we were probably undercounting by a lot. There is a testing site on my running route that was packed for a few weeks. Last 10 days it hasn’t been. It shares office space with other medical offices so even with some cars it may not tell the whole story.
  18. Yep. I am watching the crown on Netflix. Last night it was the first episode of season 4 when Lord Mountbattten was a victim of the IRA. I looked him up and saw he had similar accusations that Andrew faces with the addition of young boys too. The kennedys were as close to royalty as we have had in our history.
  19. Well JFK Jr is coming back so she can pick that one. Is the one who raped the girl in Florida still alive?
  20. My dad had a stroke in 1974. Affected his speech and memory a little bit. Struggled with names so everyone was “that son of a bitch” Didn’t mean it in a bad way. He knew nicknames but not real ones. Sparky. Yes. Chuck Daly? No. Even though my dads name was Chuck.
  21. Is it relevant that Bush was a candidate while Biden is behind the seal at a podium? I don’t care either way. Someone expressing an opinion on a reporter vs a direct attack is the difference.
  22. By then they won’t be on the BBWAA ballot. They will be on the era committee. the HOF should do away with their reliance on the writers. This isn’t 1975 anymore. Some of these voters aren’t even active. They covered the game for a while and now get to vote.
  23. It is interesting that ARod is on ESPN and "involved" in the game yet on the outside of the HOF. I'm fully on board with letting these guys in. MLB has its own history to deal with and they can't be high and mighty. They have avowed racists in there, the game itself had racism institutionalized and retiring #47 league wide doesn't change that. But I'll never relent on the Rose thing.
  24. yes.... Someone said kids who identify as "cats" should have litter boxes and the schools were accommodating it. https://www.themorningsun.com/2022/01/23/midland-schools-superintendent-addresses-false-furry-rumors/
