no. They're a bunch of pansies.

how soon before some elected GOP person says we need to rethink women voting? Or raising the age to 25? Or maybe one vote per household with the Man taking priority of course?

On the Rewatchables Podcast for Goodfellas one of the guys makes a good point... "so who the hell was Moe Black that we needed to know Fat Andy was his brother? Why not There was Fat Andy?"

ah, I see. I can understand that.

What do you mean? He was the Braves manager in 82 and 83 and the Cards manager in 1993 when they won the stated number of games.

They also forcibly removed black communities to get out of the way in Baltimore, Detroit, San Francisco, along with other cities. Just look at what the new Gordie Howe Bridge went through in just one neighborhood. That was in the 50's and 60's when the country was less developed. It was an obvious need as air travel wasn't common and you had a growing nation getting used to having automobiles and they wanted to go places. Commerce needed it's space too. The need was there.

In order to get high speed rail you'd have to build it. You'd have eminent domain issues to build the rail. Then you'd need demand to justify it. High speed cannot use existing freight train rails, not just because of right of way issues, but those were not designed for high speed, just like you couldn't go 200 mph on today's freeways if they were opened up. The banks and curves are not built for that.

There was a passenger train service to Windsor from Detroit.

There's also the issue of time. A passenger rail is fine but how long would it take? You can't just speed up when you feel like it b/c of the turns.

I wouldn't refer to Torre as a "complete failure". He won 88 and 89 with the Braves and 87 with the Cards.

To me a retread is a guy who's bounces from team to team. The negative side to me is that they appear to be lazy hires and a buddy network thing. It was a thing in the NBA in the 80's and 90's when black guys were trying to become coaches yet it seemed every opening went to some white guy who got fired from another team after 2 or 3 years. "Blacks aren't ready to be coaches yet!"

The abortion issue could save democracy.

I’ve said before that I think we will have a case where a woman in her mid 40’s with teenage kids will become the face of the movement when forced to carry on with an at risk pregnancy with tragic results. Too many pro lifers think this is about “trashy women” who want consequence free sex. Shameful.

FYI Passports belong to the government anyway. They are technically their property.

Upper class people were early adopters or automobiles! They’re typically early adopters of everything arent they? We didn’t have a microwave until 1990. Mom still doesn’t have a dishwasher.

I was 13 and coming back from Phoenix the next day. That plane was going to Phoenix so it was all over the news there. Flying for the first time, by myself. Since they didn’t know the reason yet in a precursor to today they wouldn’t let my older sister, who I went to visit, past security without a ticket. She talked her way in since it was my first time and I was a minor. We flew over the wreckage. one of the cleanup guys in our old building was a medic also in med school at the time and worked the scene. A co worker friend knew him as his dad owned an ambulance company. I was told It messed him up so bad he dropped out of school and 25 years later he’s washing dishes and mopping floors in an office building.

Ford announced that hike 8 days ago and only applies to anyone who has yet to place an order or reservation. Tesla increased their prices a few months ago.

all the idiots on my timeline thinking the IRS is going to come get their guns.

on the show's podcast today Odenkirk emphasized how in BB you had an explosive ending. Nazis, machine guns, etc. On BCS the ending was people talking and just standing there looking at each other. The suffering was internal. That is in line with the overall comparisons to the show and he complimented the writers for trusting the actors and the audience to understand that.

I see the LP as an echo chamber. And a grift opportunity for the owners. It's nice but not really effective. Just a circle jerk among like minded people that does nothing to move the needle.

blame her for Trump too while you are at it. She legitimized the concept of "if you are on TV and get ratings then you must be smart and know what you are talking about.? The celebrity expert.

His mom bathed him until he was 15.

Amiel Sawdaye from the D-backs Dana Brown from the Braves Matt Arnold from Brewers Josh Byrnes from Dodgers Jeff Kingston from Dodgers Alex Slater from Dodgers Pete Putila from Astros Sid Mejdal from the Orioles (by way of NASA!) Randy Flores from the Cards McLeod interviewed 4 times for GM jobs. Based on nothing but their current roles I'd say it could go to Sawdaye, McLeod, Byrnes or Slater. I won't pretend to know any of them from Adam.
