  1. he look, cade sucks again.
  2. i would expect foote to follow leftwich if a pro dc job gets offered, but you never know. maybe he has maize and blue blood?
  3. my dad has a crap load of old hockey cards from the 50s sitting around somewhere.
  4. probably hunter biden.
  5. if mobley is on the pistons he has to rely on killian to get him the ball.
  6. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox32chicago.com/news/1-dead-1-gravely-injured-after-car-riddled-with-bullets-starts-on-fire-in-uptown-officials.amp two blocks from my kids' school. i picked them up at 5 pm. about 5 minutes later two blocks away a drive by shot into a car killing two people, the car then burst into flames. another shooting nearby about 30 minutes later. western and montrose.
  7. schwartz took a team with three superstars that was ready to win following a rise to 10-6 and proceeded to go 4-12 and 7-9. jim caldwell took the same team and went 11-5 the next year. schwartz flunked his audition, i doubt he gets another shot.
  8. i forgot stetcher was on the team.
  9. death, taxes, and chad ford having no clue.
  10. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-melissa-ortega-homicide-bond-court-20220127-jttz5uxuzvhrrjebfkraecewoi-story.html shot an 8 year old girl in the head, and then went to subway for a sandwich or two. all while out on probation for multiple car jackings.
  11. like you said, the division being bad is the argument for the lions winning it. they could win 8 games and win the division next year if rodgers leaves.
  12. well, we can argue about the value of listening to nietzsche if you want to go down that road...
  13. they've known for a long time who they are going to nominate for the court. they've probably discussed it with breyer already too. the fbi is surely doing background checks as we speak to confirm the results of the background checks the democrats conducted before they anonymously released their list of names of potential candidates to the press.
  14. after the last one, its not to have a bad feeling about every wings game. i dont see the wings dropping below 8th in the overall draft standings, which would give them a 5% chance at #1, as opposed to a 3% chance now. sigh.
  15. its not an issue to me. its just partisan politics, imo. biden made it a point in his campaigning to add more minority justices to the bench and he has done that in a very big way. trump had a list of "federalist society approved" justices when he was elected and the democrats went after them for it. yadda yadda yadda, rinse repeat.
  16. or clarence thomas. they were intent on nominating a black man to replace marshall. or acb. they were going to nominate a woman to replace ginsburg.
  17. plenty of black female candidates are just as qualified as anyone else. i dont have a problem with biden choosing one for the court.
  18. how is that decision not up to the packers?
  19. biden is underwater in approval/disapproval ratings. he's very underwater with non-college voters. i think people see covid and inflation and equate those concerns with biden. if covid dissipates this summer and inflation starts to go down, we should see his numbers go up. if not, look out below democrats.
  20. i cant believe the packers would be crazy enough to let rodgers go and roll with jordan love. we all saw love play this year and he was awful. rodgers is still one of the best qbs in the league despite flaming out against the niners. if they let rodgers go they are committing to a real rebuild.
  21. oh yeah definitely. i was picking and choosing neighborhoods where you and i live as well as magnet high schools that are by application only. those draw from all over the city. to go further into what you said, lakeview is 77% white, lincoln park is 78% white. our old friend bucktown is now 73% white. conversely, garfield park is 91% black, austin is 84% black, and south shore is 93% black. with almost 0 white population. little village is 84% hispanic, pilsen is still 70% hispanic but whitey has turned east pilsen into coffee shop land and its now 20% gringo. all in all, pretty segregated. and pretty segregated in a specific fashion with black neighborhoods being very segregated. hispanic neighborhoods are gentrfying and white neighborhoods are getting sizeable hispanic populations, but poor black neighborhoods remain extremely segregated (although bronzeville is getting a little more diverse now as white folks move in) and the nicer whiter neighborhoods are still largely devoid of any black people.
  22. easier to just kick her off the ticket. she's not supreme court justice material. there are plenty of other black women who are smarter and better choices.
  23. my daughters' school is 43% white, 33% hispanic, 10% black, and 4% asian. that's pretty integrated. northside prep is the best high school in the state, its 31% white, 30% hispanic, 20% asian, and 10% black. that's pretty integrated too. walter payton (the second best high school in the state...yes, its named after a football player where do you think you live?) is 44% white, 21% hispanic, 20% asian, and 10% black. i live right on the border of albany park and lincoln square. albany park is 45% hispanic, 32% white, 15% asian and 5% black. pretty integrated. lincoln square (much wealthier) is 65% white, 18% hispanic, 9% asian, and 3% black. not so much. humboldt park is 49% hispanic, 23% white, 23% black, and 1% asian. englewood, by contrast, is 94% black and 4% hispanic. the city as a whole is 33% white, 29% black, 28% hispanic, and 6% asian. with the black population shrinking dramatically and the asian population growing quickly. a few pockets of "diverse" neighborhoods here and there, but you can still divide the city into thirds with blacks to the south, whites to the north, and hispanics to the west. its not universal by any means, but that general split still applies.
  24. the ukraine would get crushed by russia. its a big open field. there would be little resistance as half the country is pro-russia, which happens to be the part of the part of the country next to russia. most likely would be a split government initially that russia would use as a satellite state. and no country on earth has won more recorded battles than the french...1940 aside (which they also could have won with better leadership...).
  25. thurgood marshall was a woman? well i'll be damned... until ronald reagan chose sandra day o'connor, each supreme court pick was a man.
