Motor City Sonics

Saw a guy driving down 94 and he had a bumper sticker that said TAXATION IS THEFT. --- As he drove down a paved road, under safe and sturdy overpasses, things paid for with fair dust, I guess.

I bet the DNC is going to get millions of dollars overnight.

Look, it's gonna be interesing at the Convention. I know most think it's gonna be Hoynes, but I am sure some past scandal will pop up. Bingo Bob Russell doesn't exactly get anyone excited. Eric Baker is the Governor from a swing state, so that helps him, but I would pay close attention to Matt Santos. Just something about that guy.

Again, what is priority #1? Keeping Trump out of the White House. Everything else takes a back seat.

I think the problem with that is that when a man does it he's serious, when a woman does it she's dour. Sometimes you need to be frank. I don't need a ****ing carnival barker - I need an administrator and problem solver.

There is no scenario worse than Trump winning again. That's rock bottom.

Yeah, that's the problem with Kelly. I think he's the perfect pick, but you also have to weigh what is more risky, letting Trump get in there again or having a 49-51 Senate? That answer is clear. The damage he could do is so much more toxic than a Senate that won't cooperate.

My mom doesn't think this country will vote for a woman. I have to remind her that more people voted for Hillary and she, despite being more than qualified, wasn't very likeable.

Whomever the Democratic nominee would be has that access too. Come on, do you think if it was Newsom or Kelly or Gretch running that they'd just pack it all up? No freaking way. Now - SHARPEN UP YOUR MESSAGE! The economy is doing great, Inflation has slowed to a crawl (and is a worldwide problem). Unemployment is low. Long-ignored infrastructure is being addressed (proving thousands of jobs and making things safer for everyone). ENERGY !!!!! This is a very patriotic thing that Biden is doing. It's gotta hurt the ego, but come on, being a President at 85? Give me a break. Whoops, wait a minute. BREAKING NEWS. Kamala Harris may have cheated in a 4th grade spelling bee. She must be replaced.

Mark Kelly was in the military and a 2nd Amendment supporter who believes in sensible restrictions LIKE THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS and even more than half of gun owners.

I think this is actually great for the Democrats. Biden is too old. Trump is too old. We needed someone younger and now all the attention is away from Trump. It won't be breaking news every time he farts. I don't think it should automatically be Harris, though. Can you imagine a political convention that actually matters? How exciting is that? Not just a dog and pony show. Best VP candidate for Harris would be Mark Kelly because he does have military clout, but unlike Michigan and Colorado, Arizona has a special election to fill it. Colorado (Michael Bennett) and Michigan (Gary Peters) - the Governor appoints the replacement in the Senate to finish the whole term. Josh Shapiro - Trump supporters actually voted for him in PA Mark Kelly - Military Background, Has dealt with gun violence directly Roy Cooper - I don't that it swings NC away from Trump, as sophisticated as NC can be, they still do redneck things Andy Beshear - Winning in a deep red state twice? He wouldn't help win Kentucky, but he could sway a few other purple states Michael Bennett - Still relatively young. Polis can appoint a democrat to fill his seat Gary Peters - Military background. He's a bit bland, but I'm fine with that. Taylor Swift. It's all about celebrity, she'll be 35 in December. They could win, she could put on a great inaugaration performance - try the job for a few months and then step aside. They'd win in a landslide and Trump would have a stroke.

Harris is in a tough position. If the convention refuses to nominated Biden - then if she ends up accepting it she looks like a back stabber. I WANT BIG GRETCH !!!!!!!!!! Whitmer / Cooper ? Whitmer / Bennett ? Whitmer / Beshear ? Whitmer/ Shapiro ? Or Michelle Obama - please step in !!!! Do it for country ! Do it for women !

There's a song called Assassination on it? I'm sure he'll get torn apart over that one, even if it was pressed 6 weeks ago. Will he be forced to start a new band with Kyle?

Hey........I was working at the Ann Arbor Art Fair all day -- why did Reese Olson only pitch 2 innings today?

Kerry Carpenter still isn't back. I fear this turning into another Andy Dirks situation.

No, I need a ballgame

**** Apple TV and **** MLB

Just don't settle. You settle once and show what you'll do when you're desperate and you'll never be taken seriously. Play it right and you'll get good offers when the Tigers aren't contenders in 2025 or 2026 too. I don't think Harris believes this team is anywhere close to contending. If he did, he wouldn't be drafting so many high school players at the top. He's aiming for 2027 / 2028. Skubal won't be here then, but I don't think they are trading him this year, maybe next when they have about the same record as this year.

Bob Newhart - one of the funniest humans to ever live. An absolute Ninja of Deadpan. The Standard, actually.

With Skubal or Flaherty - set the bar high. Ask the other teams about players you really want. Give them a list. If they don't counter with one of those players - just don't make the deal. Don't trade for Jose King, Sergio Alcantara and Dawel Lugo out of desperation. You do that and you'll never get a legit offer from another team again. So you might lose Flaherty for nothing, but I'd rather see that than picking up 2 or 3 stiffs. With Skubal it better be a Godfather offer. Al Avila was a sucker. Other GMs probably told their assistants "Hey, I don't care if I am in mid-surgery, if Al Avila calls, stop the surgery and wake me up.........."

It's because of his age.

Can you imagine adding Brandon Aiyuk to this offense? Who the hell would the other team's cover? It wouldn't matter if the Lions defense improved, they'd be hanging 50 on everyone.

Another memory I have of the All Star game was how cool it was to see a player on your team wearing your team's uniform instead of a clown costume

If I say, what is the first memory of an All Star game for you? Mine is Dave Parker's throw to the plate...................

What about 2028? ..........Premier Trump will appoint Ivanka as next Premier.
