  1. Interesting that all I learned about George "Washington" Carver is that he invented Peanut Butter (which is only partially true). He was and is one of the most most important and influential botanical scientists in our history, but nah, that part got skipped over.
  2. Part of me thinks that overturning Roe v. Wade was needed at this particular moment. It should rile up Democrats to vote more than anything. If this doesn't do it, we're probably in for a very rough decade ahead - where people like Marjorie Taylor Greene are the norm. It's scary as fuck. I don't want women's rights taken away, but something needs to wake us the hell up. Women can still go to certain states. , We need to stop nitpicking if the candidates we get aren't perfect. To me, the first move would be to add two diverse and populated states to the early primaries, like Pennsylvania & Colorado. Starting everything in Iowa and New Hampshire (Two of the lowest 6 minority states without a single large city). is a really dumb move for Democrats to not have more minority and city voters in the early states. Katie Porter in '24 !
  3. A group of educators in Texas put in a very large proposal, in the middle of this proposal that they wanted to refer to Slavery as "Involuntary Relocation". Someone caught it and it was rejected to the State Board Of Education. I had to check and double check and triple check to make sure it wasn't The Onion. It was not. And they snuck it in the middle like Van Halen with the "No Brown M&Ms" trick they put in the Technical rider to see if specifications were being met. What's next, referring to Auschwitz and an "Involuntary Spa" ? We are dangerously close to these people running things, because this stuff just 10 years ago was totally laughed at by almost everyone, now more than half of one political side is okay with this kind of stuff.
  4. Oh, I just read that no concussion and x-rays looked good. a facial bruise. Thanks for the earflap..................without that and that's a Tony Conigliaro situation.
  5. What's the latest, is he okay? He looked to be a bit stunned (as we all would), but he didn't seem to be in tremendous pain.
  6. Lots of great things happening at District Detroit too. 85% of the street lights are working. What progress. In other news - Brad Galli just lost his press credentials.
  7. The way this year's going? 3 year IL ................. Seriously, I hope he's okay............no broken jaw............even getting hit in the helmet like that can rattle your cage.
  8. To obtain the 7 limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo .
  9. Look, Big Mike is hanging in there and I appreciate the effort. Didn't expect him to be his sharpest or to go long tonight after 2 limited starts at Tony Packo Town. He sweats a lot. He's no Nate Cornejo, mind you, but he does sweat a lot.
  10. I am sure Al has something incredible up his sleeve for starting pitching after the trade deadline. What's Mike Pelfrey doing? Hey Zimm, wanna come out of retirement?
  11. Maybe he's off dog sledding somewhere. Don't know. He was pitching pretty well when he left. I don't know that he wants to even play anymore, or for this specific team. But I am not clear on this............Are they actually paying him when they don't have to pay him? If that's the case, they need to stop now. I certainly hope he doesn't end up having a stroke like J.R. Richard, which would make me feel horrible, but this "marital issue" thing just ain't looking legit to me.
  12. E-Rod is Uwe Krupping the Tigers.
  13. I am gonna go further. Take his ass to court and void that contract. Marriage problems. Give me a break, if you ain't solved it in this time, you ain't solving it. Half the country has marriage problems - they still do their damn jobs.
  14. I'd like to apologize on suggesting Miles Bridges. In my defense, I didn't know he beats his wife. He's done. Broke her nose and wrist, ruptured her eardrum and she's got bruises all over, blood coming from her ear, a concussion, and that's just recent injuries. Fuck that guy. The NBA should ban him for life. I don't think this is some kind of hoax. He should go to prison, but probably won't because he's rich.
  15. I can't remember the name of the town but it was in West Virginia and there was some company that wound up producing a ton of leftover toxic waste and they stored it in these big tanks. The EPA did an inspection and told them the tanks were not up to standard any any breach of these tanks would poison the nearby river. The company started going public about this to rile 'em up (They took errr jobs!) and people literally chased the EPA out of town. Then a little more than a year later one of the tanks ruptured and all of this toxic waste went right into the river.............the wildlife in and around the river died and the drinking water was poisoned and unusable for the whole town. So who did they blame? Barack Obama. Why? Because the Federal Government wasn't fixing it and wasn't giving them enough money to go buy bottled water to drink, cook and even bathe with. All Obama's fault. All the EPA's fault (yes someone from the EPA showed up with an axe and busted open the tank just to prove they were right, sure, that's what happened.
  16. I love the Strawberry and Coconut. Maybe I'll try Peach or Watermelon one day, but when I can find them, it's always Strawberry first. And around here these have been very difficult to find lately. Finally found some at ALDI, and there is no markdown on this.
  17. Blash took a difficult job. To take over a team as they are starting their tanking. I didn't have a problem with him until the 2nd half of this season when it appeared something wasn't getting through to the players. A lot like the task that Buddy Bell faced when he took the Tigers gig. I think both were decent coaches/managers who had no shot at winning.
  18. These fuckers are about to tear apart voting rights next.
  19. I'm at the point where federal funding for states that outlaw abortions and allow pollution should just be cut off from federal funding at all. Most of them wouldn't survive because they are all pretty much Taker States.
  20. If Biden had any balls, and he doesn't, he would flat out tell states that if you don't want to follow any EPA guidelines then you will not get any federal money if that ignorance leads to a disaster. You are on your own. But again, he doesn't have the balls to do that.
  21. No, I am blaming the Bernie people who just had to sit it out even though their boy pleaded with them to vote for Hillary. They should have known that this would happen. this is on them. This didn't have to happen.
  22. Hey, you know what.....Fine. The smarter states will still want EPA regulations. The dumb states - the next time you fuckers have a disaster becuase you refused regulations - you clean it up. You pay for it. That's what you wanted.
  23. It has become clear that SCOTUS is now a political wing. Thanks angry Bernie non-voters. Go fuck yourself. Everything Bernie fought for going down the tubes because you were a bunch of fucking babies.
  24. Who exactly will be stupid enough to play James Harden what he is seeking? Maybe the most overrated player of all time and now he's old and out of shape.
  25. Brave of her, a former Trump supporter, to testify. She now probably has to have a bodyguard for the foreseeable future. I'm sure she's been hit with hundreds of death threats already.
