  1. My directv signal is out on this game. Anyone else?
  2. they actually had a net gain in population which is remarkable since the last 4+ decades were all decline.
  3. Man, it would be interesting if the new people moving into the city raised the engagement level. Imagine all the hipster young people downtown canvasing.
  4. not much on the line
  5. Boyd being a LHP worries me. But only in the sense that he's going to be ok for an inning or two and then we break through.
  6. actually...1940s Japan is what a redneck fascism would look like in this country. The officers in the IJA were not the best and brightest and their prescriptions were always might makes right. The IJN was terrified of the Army's hotheads and were a bastion of liberality in comparison but their concerns about the Army were such that they withheld information about battlefield losses (e.g., Midway) from the Army to save face.
  7. I think MacArthur did a decent job creating the conditions for democracy to occur but for whatever reason Japan was allowed to wallow in victimhood when it had caused far more death and destruction to others than it suffered in the War.
  8. the southern US also did not break with its past very well.
  9. the long form of that speech is so very good. The part he describes how angry his father was and how it was the war that made him so bitter. That generation that Arnold came from had a lot of rebelling to do from that older Nazi generation. To its credit Germany and Austria did a decent job breaking with the past whereas Japan did not.
  10. Because Trump is playing footsie with Nazis to win the hate vote.
  11. we need to shatter Dallas like the Allies shattered the Wehrmacht after Normandy.
  12. I can see some bad genes grew up in Queens, NYC
  13. Walz is not wrong with "these people are weird"
  14. I see the reason to point out the failure of the current administration to hold terrorists to accord in general but this isn't a vacuum.
  15. They traded Bout to save a US citizen from the gulag. Trump would be sending his political enemies to the gulag.
  16. Only Sean Casey in his latter years was as slow as Rusty Staub is now.
  17. If the Yugo had been insanely expensive I'm sure insurance companies wouldn't cover it either.
  18. The news about GEICO and other insurance companies refusing to underwrite for Cybertrucks is interesting.
  19. The wife is supposed to do a girl's weekend in Southeast Florida this weekend. Very worried that the place will be dealing with flooding and damage. I'm supposed to fly to Michigan the weekend after. I'm not worried about hurricanes ruining that trip.
  20. Tuttle actually gives them a QB. He was playing in his first game in a while but they responded to him. I think the weird situation with mugging Donovan Edwards on the INT was a factor. Fumbling...well that stuff can't happen.
  21. So its just cool to mug Donovan Edwards?
  22. Well, I know what Putin told him https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-asked-putin-advice-whether-222120592.html
  23. Mind blown but true. Halfway between Market-Garden and now is slightly more accurate. because I'm always studying up for my WWII final exam that I hope to take when i am 100 years old. I don't know what the word inenarrable means.
