Rinke seems to be your new breed of Republican. Born into privilege, inherit the family business that others built for you, claim to be a successful businessman, doing shady things, run for public office as an outsider and businessman.
Oklahoma and Florida are two examples.

When did an Occupy Wall Street protest shut the world down? When did it block an international border for a week?
I agree. Calvin Johnson quit. I'm not sure what exactly the Lions were expected to do? What exactly have the Lions done so differently with Stafford? The ones heaping praise and throwing the bouquets seem to be the fans. Stafford asked for a trade and the Lions granted it. Johnson announced his retirement and the Lions asked him to pay back what he owed.
I recently read a story about how WCF pulled some strings with Ford Motor Company and helped get Reggie Brown set up with his own Ford dealership after his career was ended. That was something he didn't have to do and could have just let the NFL take care of Reggie Brown. I've heard a lot of good stories about WCF taking care of players. WCF was a loyal man. He also expected loyalty in return.
McCain lost by 10 million votes. As terrible as Palin is, I doubt she cost McCain 10 million votes. Obama had over twice as many electoral votes as well.
I'm kind of surprised at all the support Eminem is getting from progressives considering his history with gays. Usually they want to cancel you if you use the wrong pronoun.
Stafford will announce his retirement as well. The Rams will implode and the Lions will end up with the #1 pick. Stafford then decides to come out of retirement and sign with the Lions. The Colts, still desperate for a QB after moving on from Wentz, trade a 1st round pick for Goff.
