This is more specifically aimed at Archie than at GOP politicians., but in terms of this war, it's happening because of one man alone: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. This was a war of choice that did not have to happen. So when someone comes along and, instead of placing blames where it lies, repeatedly blames Joe Biden for this war happening, it starts coming across like an excuse or an apologia for the war criminal who is ultimately responsible for this thing. And it makes me start questioning whether that person wishes this country success in dealing with Russia going forward.

According to research released by AAA gas prices spiked in July of 2008 at $4.11 a gallon (who was in the WH then?)Crude was 147.87 a barrel. $4.00 in 2008 is equivalent to $5.27 today. People are driving more than what they were last time we saw $2 a gallon. The liberal Pew Research Center explains this so even conservatives can understand it.. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/12/09/gasoline-costs-more-these-days-but-price-spikes-have-a-long-history-and-happen-for-a-host-of-reasons/ BTW I'm old enough to remember the Arab Oil Embargo in 1973-74...Wonder who was in office then?

when COVID crashed the world economy, the drop in the price of oil drove frackers off their fields. As the economy came back, supply was low so prices rose. Prices have to increase to the point where producers back start up again. Price elasticity of supply and demand - Econ 101. The US federal government has had little to do with this - it's called market economics, and this market has done exactly what any market would do under the circumstances. On top of that war uncertainty has added some additional premium of course. And it wasn't the US gov that invaded Ukraine either.

Do you give away the endings to movies too?

projection.

This is the price of gas adjusted for inflation and average miles per gallon of automobiles. Opinion: The price of gasoline isn't really at a record high. In fact, the inflation-adjusted cost of driving a mile was higher for most of the past century - MarketWatch So, it's going up, but it's been a lot worse in the past.

Yep. How "patriotic" of them.

This is the best of both worlds for the GOP. Not cut off Russian oil, they would blame him for being weak. Cut off Russian oil, they will blame him for gas prices.

I like it and it doesn't prevent them from drafting or signing another top WR.

After the Buffalo-Kansas City OT game, the NFL is going to change OT rules. It will now be a skills competition where each team chooses a DL to run a 40 yard dash. You'll be wishing you drafted Jordan Davis then.

I loved him talking about hand size on this same show. He showed his hands and I believe he said they measured at 10 3'4, whatever it was the other dude looked it up and confirmed that Leaf's hands were bigger than all other QBs in the league right now. Leaf then goes "Yeah and we all saw how well my big hands worked out for me." lol

Yep.

the really dangerous one that the conservative on the court are pushing is that state legislatures are not bound by their own state constitutions. I seriously doubt that is anything the founders had in mind.

The number of current leases is misleading. Not all leases are productive so new ones are needed to be explored . Its was well publicized that on day one Biden signed an executive order that put an end to all new leases and the keystone pipeline. Gas prices have been going up since Biden took office. We were close to being energy independant when the democrats took over and like so many good things for the country they ended it.

Wordle took me four tries today! It was pretty sweet.

FWIW, a lot of outlets seem to be calling him Rand Paul's grandson-in-law, but that seems to be his relationship to Ron Paul. he's Rand's niece's husband (nephew-in-law? whatever).

exactly, which is why I don't get why people are dumping on Ilitch for voting against the CBT increase, which is a vote for more revenue sharing. The small market team owners seem to be the only ones who understand that the CBT number is a fantasy argument, if teams don't have the income via more revenue sharing, they can't increase payrolls to any level where the CBT would be in play. He's doing the right thing for his own fans if they want to see their team be able to compete long term. To the teams on the coasts with big money the rest of league looks like the Senators did to the Globetrotters, basically schedule fodder, it's fine with them if midwest teams never compete. Meanwhile the top players like Scherzer, who seem to control the union, are all looking for the their big paydays from the rich teams, so they don't care about competitive balance either but they're glad to play the oppressed serf card over the CBT.

Michigan Republican RJ Regan is the front runner to win a special election and be a member of the Michigan House of Representatives once he wins the special election. Tells his daughters if they are raped to lie back and enjoy it. The religious right and moral majority really does believe women have it coming to them it seems. Notice how no one in the meeting calls his ass out.

The Pistons may have something with Bagley, particularly when Cade is on the floor.

Que Lee Greenwood

You mean to tell me you've lost another General? v

so that was the "mental health" time off he needed to take? remember all the fawning twitter takes congratulating him and offering support? and the whole time he was gambling? lololol.

I know I've already promoted this but after listening/watching nearly all the current episodes, it's just really enjoyable... If you like sports history this is a great program talking about the 30s of sports history in Detroit. The deep dive they go into on these topics is so interesting.

LOL - when ever I hear this my mind goes right to the Monty Python "Life of Brian" sketch "What have the Romans done for us?" Let's see, Dems have had to rescue the economy twice after the GOP put it into disaster, provided tens of millions of Americans with health care they lacked, ended participation in one of the endless wars the GOP started, repaired international security arrangements that the GOP was well along the path to shattering, and is the party working against the interests of racist white nationalists. Yeah - I guess all those things are too unAmerican to countenance - that is if you have a Trumper's view of what you want America to be.

Aaron Rodgers signed a 4 year $200 million extension with Green Bay. Guess we can pump the brakes on the Lions winning the division next year.
