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.

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.

Well JFK Jr is coming back so she can pick that one. Is the one who raped the girl in Florida still alive?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/

That's the point and strategy I think

wonder what Larry thinks of his Curb co star and curb ex wife Cheryl Hines and RFK Jr?

Did the Nazis call them up and apologize?

I see a difference between a rhetorical “shut up” as a argumentative device… like “ you are an idiot, you don’t know what you are talking about” vs “you shouldn’t be speaking up. It’s not your place. The adults are talking. You are just an athlete or movie star. You aren’t a serious person like us pundits on TV who study this all day”. The first is just ball busting among friends. The second is not and that’s what I see the ingraham types inferring to Lebron.

Because they didn’t have to be.

The question isn’t what Lebron thinks. It’s how certain aryan nation sympathizers react to what he thinks and whether he should keep his mouth shut and just play his sport while not suggesting a white athlete do the same.

Biden called Peter Doocey a stupid some of a bitch today. of course Brit Hume is on fox talking about how presidents should be above name calling reporters. Something he didn’t do from 2017-2021.

They have the right. The government will throw them in jail. But when these talk show hosts don’t tell white athletes to shut up and dribble I will call them racists because obviously they have the double standard between what a white athlete should do vs a black athlete. there is a difference between telling someone to “shut up and dribble” vs simply disagreeing with their views.

Kevin Durant and Lebron James criticized the president in 2018. Laura Ingraham told them to “shut up and dribble”. In the summer of 2020 Drew Brees criticized supporters in the nfl for Kaepernick. Laura Said he’s got a god given right to speak out. what could possibly be the difference between the two scenarios? So forgive me for drawing racial inferences. She has a history. To suggest nothing is there is to be deliberately obtuse just for the sake or it. it’s the very same mindset that led to McConnell to refer to African Americans vs Americans.

I don't think they've told him to "shut up". They are making fun of his positions and views. Blacks athletes are expected to know their place as entertainers and jesters for white people and not "get all political, that's not why I watch". When a white athlete or entertainer expresses solidarity with the red hats... well that's just "normal red blooded americans being patriotic. Rah Rah Rah".

stick around for "Paula Deen's Chickpea Mash", not that radical Islamic hummus.

thus ending any chance they have for further office I would assume.... The crazies have taken over the local GOP across the country. It's very easy to become a party delegate and insider nowadays. I became one 10 years ago and the only thing I had to do was send in a notarized document. The party contacted me and did all the work. I went to one meeting at a Ram's Horn and the cast of characters even back then was disturbing. Like a Bill Burr joke.... "when a redneck lowers his voice and starts to look around.... run"

Aren't the railroads responsible for security on their railroads since it's their property? If I did business with a storage company that was always being broken into and my stuff stolen then I would expect them to do something about it or I would find another storage solution. Railroads are not public property. When a city or county wants to build a road through a crossing it's up to the public to do the infrastructure. That was the deal the US Gov't made with them in order for them to agree to build the rails at their own cost.

corporate wide we use Webex. A major supplier recently let their WebEx contract expire so they use Teams. I hate it. It takes forever to load up on the browser version. Another uses Zoom which is fine. But I am spoiled by the WebEx integration.

Mike Cox is a dem? Do you know who he is and who is wife is/was?
