Protect him from the prison guards? one of the reasons they protect isn't to just save his life but for torture situations where he could give up national security knowledge (I'm sure he's already done this for cash but that's the theory). Does the SS today monitor who cooks the food a POTUS and former POTUS eat? It'd probably be determined that the hassle wouldn't be worth it and he'd just be in some kind of federally mandated exile.

I wondered about the SS thing before. I wonder if they’d just get a special wing together at one of those country club prisons and he would be in isolation. Secret service would be around and he might have limited time around others. They would never go into a hardcore prison. Interesting thought exercise though. A combo of federal marshals to enforce to enforce punishment and SS to protect. Think of Johnny Sack when he went to his daughters wedding. Of course he would pull an uncle Junior and “fall”.

Styrofoam cup?

He was such a legend that David Halberstam devoted a lot of ink to him in his great book The Fifties and how he transformed the game.

Is this the fish from Jimmy and Kim’s apartment? Are we going back that timeline again?

I won't have sympathy for people who treat their employees like crap and then complain that "nobody wants to work". It's time employers take responsibility and not expect that they are guaranteed a work force on THEIR terms. With so many job openings out there employees have the upper hand and it's time for bosses and managers to adapt, like employees are always expected to do. A grieving employee owes nothing to an employer when that employee has options. The employer wouldn't think twice about cutting that person loose if they had the upper hand so now the roles are reversed.

WCF wasn’t “given” the Lions by Ford. The two entities have nothing to do with each other. He was a very wealthy man given his special stock ownership and bought out his partners. Nobody at the company made that happen. He knew HFII was in charge for the long haul and Lee Iacocca he was right behind him. WCF was one of the few heavy backers of Lee within the company… that’s not a bad thing. But HFII couldn’t accept him. As he said when he fired him “sometimes you just don’t like a fella”

What is their argument?

Gas is highly competitive because it’s the only thing you care about at that facility and the price is displayed outside and you can compare on the spot. But when a business had to hike the price of a hamburger or box of cereal are they in such a position that they have to lower it immediately? Psychologically people will accept prices as they are on certain things.

Retire Bison Dele's number too. That was tragic.

Hey porkchop.... guess what? We've always had some form of a wall along our borders somewhere. TV boy just tried to trademark it as his own intellectual property. He didn't invent it. His "wall" was a metaphor.

relying on goodwill and people to just "figure it out on their own" is a lost cause now. Either go when you can, like if the other car is still at the window, or just alternate like normal human beings would think to do. "Take turns". Remember that in kindegarden?

Billy Strings played at Lollapalooza and it seems like a lot of people discovered him for the first time according to the twitter.... Welcome to the club.

only "democrat" cities though.

Why are people in such a hurry? They act like somebody's going to steal their shit. When I travel I get a kick out people watching. "Hurry up to wait" is the mantra. Gotta run down to the gate so I can sit around. Gotta stand up and near the 'line' even though its not my turn to board yet, the plane might take off without me!" Then plane lands and you gotta jump up and get your bag because someone might take it even though nobody's going anywhere for a few minutes. Run down to the luggage claim so you can stare at an empty conveyor belt before anyone else does. I don't offer much life advice to my 21 year old son but last year I told him "Don't ever be the guy running in the airport".

if those women had 'courage' they'd just suck it up like a man and fight their way through it, right Jim?

I love 3YearLetterman..... a friend and I try to do that kind of thing with each other but that guy nails it. One of my favorite twitter accounts.

But Hillary.... Hunter.... something....

Anyone going to see phish next week? A wednesday will be tough to pull off but I'll be there.

@chasfh was there....

Another group is those in their mid to late 30s. They came of age when the housing collapsed. I have some cousins who had good jobs out of college that have a house worth $500K now that they got for a lot less. Timing.

Just a grifting attempt.

Would anyone still be after him on the drug trade side of things? Is it just the feds he has to worry about? I assume he's still got a big pile of cash to draw from? I'm excited because these writers have never let us down have they?

Regarding the jerseys... I'm 48 and hated them. My son is 21 and he and his friends loved them. He bought one last year and I guess the story is... we're not the demographic they are after anymore. Makes me sad. I'm going out to yell at some clouds now.
