Really? Whose mind do you think it changed about anything? I tend to think that is was the at the cutting edge of the American system of media confirmation bias - but Lear was clever enough that it confirmed everyone's biases both ways. I think Liberals who think it was some kind of landmark at pushing cultural boundaries completely misunderstand how all the real Archies watching the show understood it. And I think Lear knew that perfectly well, basking in the glow of liberal affirmation while trotting to the bank with the proceeds of the conservative viewership's simultaneous self-satisfaction.

I mean really. Have we ever had an off season whirlwind of activity to match this one?

I guess I'm in the minority but I never found AITF very funny. Maybe because my father was a big fan who liked it because he never saw it as satire at all. I suppose that guaranteed a negative response from my youthful oppositional self. Jean Stapleton was brilliant though. Her ability to stay in that character through any and everything was epic.

LOL. Then again, Price at least speaks in complete sentences ecapsulating discrete concepts, which puts him in a league beyond what Matt Shepherd achieves on any regular basis.

Rassussen is nice player but I think he's shown he doesn't have quite level of value that would prevent me from including him in a reasonable trade.

True, and the coaches on the team who drew them up would know more about whether a receiver is running his routes precisely.

We can only hope. There seem to be two lines on the graph going in opposite directions. The Russians started with their best kit and theirs is degrading while Ukraine's is improving, but the manpower line is going to keep tilting in the Russian direction as Putin continues ramp up the mobilization level in Russia. As Putin's inspiration (may have) put it, quantity has a quality of it own. I have to say I didn't think Russian society would put up the loses reaching what they already have, so all bets are off on what Putin may manage to drive them to.

You have to imagine imagine Perez' and Lipcius' K good rates have the attention of the new regime.

You wonder if there was a little 3D chess being played there where Shanahan had some idea Dallas might try going no line if he showed no rush when he knew he still had a TO to get out it and Dallas wouldn't when they lined up again.

Certainly ended up a goof ball play. When SF came back from the TO they changed it up and Dallas was screwed leaving the line empty.

Kind of retro to see the run game creeping back into winning football recently. SF eventually wore Dallas down enough that the run game starting grinding them up in the 4th and that was the difference.

this is all good - much later than it should have been to be there now when it's most needed, but good. But don't you have the gnawing suspicion that neither side in this war gains a clear advantage until they achieve air superiority on the battle field? The Russians have shown they can't, but the West continues to embargo air frames for Ukraine the would test the opposite proposition.

yeah - who knows - he's certainly old enough to remember or have been involved in the Sino/Vietnamese border battles that followed on the heels of the US withdrawal - there could be backstory there as well.

so much for 30-50yr old suspect!

I thought one idea was to swap consignment of some number in refurb as the backfill to a country that was willing to deliver equipment that was ready to roll?

Does TJ have a problem with zigging when he should be zagging?

sometimes a party shooting might be a gang related situation but it sounds like this guy might have actually tried to shoot up another venue, was stopped by people in the crowd and so moved on to this one. I guess it's unclear whether it was the same person for certain but they are thrying to check that out as they looks for the guy.

BTW, if you think Warde is on thin ice with Ono, there is this to consider. He could be blowing smoke, but here it is... https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2022/10/see-santa-ono-talk-nil-and-plans-for-university-of-michigans-future.html

As far as his mingling endeavors at UM, I heard he's played Cello with the University Orchestra, but it's probably been too cold for him to have investigated any of the reputed clothing optional bends along the Huron River....

but is that any worse than your 2nd corner being exposed against the guy your new #1 corner is now covering? Don't see a downside here - but I assume your funnin'

This 'investigation' was probably pointless from the get go. I'd be surprised if the Supreme Court had a computer system secure enough to track things to a grain fine enough to detect the duplication of a document. It's not an institution that is supposed to keep state secrets! Plus I woudn't think that in most systems it its very hard for anyone who has access to an electronic document to create a practical duplicate of the text in clever enough ways to evade detection by a system logger anyway - (e.g., without simply copying the file). Not to mention that from the reporting it apparently would not have been particularly difficult to walk out with a hard copy either.

Yeah - I'm all on a good corner. And the other neat thing with a finding a shut-down corner is that it can bump each other guy in the secondary to an easier cover. Mulitplication by addition.

Yup - but that's the way it goes in life - just ask Bill Buckner...

you realize that only about 20% of the faculty participated in that vote? And only half of them were unhappy - so that is 10%. Mostly the leftside unhappy 10% that mirror the MAGA in the larger society on the other side. There was very little actual compliant that I could see from serious people on campus anywhere about the way Schlissel handled COVID. They promulgated a solid Vax policy, had a fully functioning testing and tracking regime in place, got quickly into waster water testing/tracking, and had intelligent processes for how to determine what actions were going to be safe and which weren't. Had a very good information/policy awareness/education program up and running and got a complete remote work system off the ground. A LOT of resources were positioned to support/facilitate seamless transistion from live to remote classes on the fly as necessary. I thought it was a well led and damn impressive effort. The thing you have to realize is that UM is fun target for the Det papers - and as a big institution they are fair game, but in general it's all squeaky wheel stuff that you read about - whether it is in any way representative of what is actually going on on campus is purely incidental. Schlissel's problem is that he didn't know how, or maybe after a few years just began to stop caring, about keeping the regents happy with their political needs and pet donor projects. That certainly was foolish wrt helping him defend his position (I really half suspect he was looking to get fired.....), but generally little of that stuff is actually important to the real life of the University. And the truth is the Dems, who control the board of Regents, have put up some pretty terrible regent candidates. When you have a couple of ambulance chasers and an Ilitch family also ran as the majority of your democratic party regents caucus, the likelihood of cultural disconnect with your typical lifetime academic administrator is going to be pretty high. Anyway, that's my take FWIW.

It can take a while.... It took Schlissel 8 yrs to do himself in, Harbaugh has had about as long and so far is still only at the misdemeanor level (😱). Martin Philbert only lasted three as Provost but got away with his act for probably 10 yrs on the faculty before that. With regard to Pearson - AFAIK they didn't substantiate any of the serious charges against him and in the end he appeared to have been dumped primarily not hewing to current cultural imperatives. Actually, I would guess Schlissel might even have survived his 'stupidity' with the proper self-flagellations if he had had the support of the Regents, but he had already lost that for being impolitic in ways that had nothing to do with the stupid behavior they used as the excuse to fire him.
