  1. That was such a big deal for us at the time. I know I am in the minority but I like the Sammy incarnation.
  2. "Had Mr. Fieger been less concerned about being on the news and more concerned about the facts, he would have been able to easily confirm that Mr. Moore had not even worked in the high school for more than one year,"
  3. I don't have a drop ceiling in my unfinished basement... I know... what kind of elitist am I with an unfinished basement.... and what should I trademark? I'm more than confused now. Maybe it's all the avecado toast I had with my vegan green herbal tea that's messing me up.
  4. Wife had a 93 year old patient who told the staff, in passing, that those bruises were from her family hitting her.... so yeah they had to deal with that. She had a 22 year old covid patient too..... not intubated but still in the ICU. No health issue history either, in other words, they 'did nothing wrong' to deserve it, as the deniers like to qualify things. The situation in her hospitals is that ICU's are full but they've not reached the point where they are rationing other care or taking up other beds. But they were told no time off for the forseeable future.
  5. the building looks like the old Holiday Inn signs.
  6. I still can't get over Mehmet's insistence on not being called Mehmet. It's not the media's responsibility to go by your trade name or to just say "Dr. Oz". They don't refer to Rand Paul all the time as "Dr. Paul". He wants their help in reminding people that he's "That guy named Oz" and not just any other guy named Oz, especially a guy with a 'foreigner' name. What kind of a patriotic American has a name that sounds like some Ay-Rab? Bad enough they had to sit through Barack Hussein Obama. True story, a HS friend of mine, after Obama was elected, complained that he was going to have to try to explain to his daughter than a guy named Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of these United States..... yes he has a southern accent too.
  7. is it because some people think she's a lesbian and that's still a put down to some neanderthals? The kind of people who think they are being clever when they say "Ellen Degenerate"?
  8. The lots can be seen as a placeholder in case other developments pop up. For example they announced yesterday some new construction for UM that's going to take up one of the lots that I started to use since everything there is cashless now. You can prepay and use a barcode to get in and out.
  9. So can Paul Ryan as a Fox board member speak up?
  10. CNN should have Chris Cuomo on now. That might get their attention.
  11. A red head wore green… guess it’s peppermint patty.
  12. They aren’t hurting anything. It’s not like it prevents seating areas or blocks potential amenities.
  13. Treason is a capital offense. Suggesting a politician committed treason and should be prosecuted and if convicted given punishment available is not a crime. so go somewhere else with that bull shit. That dog don’t hunt here.
  14. And behooves him to speak up.
  15. What I read was they wanted to take him away and he said to the guy something like “look… I like you but I know if I get in that car I am not coming back today”. That could be read your way but I think he was referring to the need to finish the certification that day whatever it takes. I am not thinking anything nefarious but the USSS.
  16. Whats the joke?
  17. Why is he asking about local issues? I thought conservatives believed in Washington staying out of the way? Oh that’s right… the unbiased news channel has an agenda
  18. what about the people that live there now? That site has nothing to do with the Ilitch org anymore.
  19. I would have liked more than one level. Make the first level about 2/2 of what it is, increase the slope, then another level right above that, then suites, then your upper deck, or put suites lower, who cares. Other stadiums are built that way. When I look at Comerica's seating arrangement it is rather dull, especially the lower level. The rows are too long. I really like Busch Stadium and where the Reds play. The decision about the skyline was also a cost thing ,not just about showcasing the city. The "largest scoreboard" was about cost. Less construction and alas... more ads They've improved things quite a bit with their subtle changes and Chris Ilitch implied they could do more.
  20. how else they gonna fight advances in civil rights?
  21. According to Fox and "Doctor Oz", referring to someone by their name is cancel culture.
  22. When you look at the polling on who is vaccinated and not and who will never get vaccinated it's very clear there is a partisan divide and the political leaders for each party own that. It's not an accident. One party has been very hands off with pushing vaccines. With a few exceptions GOP leaders say "People should get vaccinated but...." then they throw in caveats and disclaimers. Fuck that. And for as bad as things are in MI now they are not as bad as it got in the south in the late summer.
  23. At what point should Garland appoint a special prosecutor? Every politician that saw this memo and powerpoint should be charged.
  24. When they say "pro trump people" do they mean protesters or.... politicians?
