  1. Another actor enters the scene
  2. They've achieved "limited government". The question is at who's expense
  3. The team has always been a white elephant, so to speak https://www.philadelphiaathletics.org/history/why-the-athletics-are-called-white-elephants/
  4. Meanwhile in the Senate a bit of background
  5. This exchange actually happened
  6. The sad truth is probably a large majority to the folks who habitually vote Republican feel it's a feature and not a bug
  7. Every RedState Democrat should use this in their campaign ad
  8. I don’t know, this may be pushing things too far. If anything, eliminate ghost runners in extra innings
  9. Maybe she should be thankful that they may not be investigating her for her role in the attempted bombing of the DNC 1/5/2021. Just saying
  10. Thank's got it. BTW my local Congress critter only cares about his kickbacks from Newport News ShipYard
  11. I just checked Wikipedia, it looks like Frank Beckman was the fill in from 1999 to 2001. WJR still would have had the radio broadcasts, at least in 1999 and 2000. Fox Sports Detroit the TV rights
  12. I will add this. There is a small but growing movement among a small group of politician's led by Utah Gov Spencer Cox and Jared Polis of Colorado. It's called disagree better. We've reached the point here the parties are talking past each other. Heck, it goes back to Washington who was opposed to political parties... This may be the first step. I admit to being a bit hopeful in finding our better angels.
  13. And here's the thing that gripes me. The "working folks" who badmouth the union because of their politics, but will gladly take the benefits the union negotiated. TBH I'm not well versed on the transportation industries agreement and whether there is or is not a two tiered system on pay and benefits. My only experience was several years when I walked into a broadcast facility that was just about to vote on joining AFTRA (this was about 25 years ago. Full disclosure, my wife was a manager at another facility so I knew a bit about what to expect. I left the job before negations were completed, but my feelings at the time AFTRA was fairly toothless (before the merger with SAG).
  14. We need to bring back dueling.
  15. Does he call the run on 2nd down?
  16. He'll just send out another fundraising plea blaming the Democrats and Communists who live in the country like vermin
  17. But, the Democrats are in disarray
  18. But they'll still blame Biden for high gas prices when oil production is at its highest output, not even considering the number of folks in their gas guzzling Class A's pulling a get around car AND a golf cart. Or high food prices.
  19. I used to see it the other way working small market radio where businesses influenced what news stories to talk about or even music we played. Keep in mind you also get crossover since many of the local officials also owned businesses who advertised. In that case, which came first, the chicken or the egg. No laws were passed forbidding the play of Whitney Houston, but if the advertiser, vice mayor objected, we lost revenue.
  20. Only going by Tigers and Lions on line radio feeds, Audacy (WXYT) runs at least 15 seconds or more behind the TV feed of the game. I don't expect the radio flagship stations of the teams to make adjustments.
  21. I really believe it's almost embedded in their social DNA. Grand parents, parents, aunts and uncles all voted for Republicans. Especially after FDR, Kennedy (religious prejudice) Johnson (Great Society). In the south those who grew up with the Dixiecrats became Republicans with Nixon and Reagan.
  22. OK no laws were broken but so called "christian" politicians did have an impact on the bottom line on the sale of a certain brand of beer. TBH I suppose you could say the same about the other side on businesses like Chick Fil A or Hobby Lobby (which has reportedly cut way back on their Hanukkah related crafts)
  23. Something to ponder today
