Seeing ejections makes me think of Neil Armstrong in the Lunar Landing Training vehicle. Stuck thrusters or something. Note the ejection path. He was about a second from being at the wrong angle. He got a busted lip. Typical of him he got dressed and went back to his office to do paperwork to startled colleagues after they heard what happened. Just another day at the office for this unassuming legend. Another Apollo astro, Ted Freeman, who never flew in space, was the first fatality in the program. His T-38 ran into some geese and and got sucked into the intake and the engine flamed out. He tried to land and had to bank to avoid houses and ejected almost horizontally. Chute never got a chance to deploy.

and remember... ole Mike is a God Fearing Pastor.

Ike Blessit tells a story about Billy Martin sending him to the minors or having him released, to the point where it was significant salary wise, not sure the specifics. But his point was this. Billy had a girl, 16 years old probably, definitely a high school girl, in his room at the Leland hotel in Detroit. He wanted Ike to driver her home. It was like 2 am. She lived in West Bloomfield or something like that. Ike's said no way was he, as a black man, driving a 16 year old white girl around Oakland county after 2 am to drop her off at her house. Billy got mad and blackballed him. Maybe Ike's lying or mixing up details, he was in part of a hard luck story about him and his hard times. But it's believable. Like Hollywood producers and power brokers and actresses and the casting couch, Weinstein, etc. Maybe not every story is true but there's a lot of them that are.

lines up with Mike Huckabee's talking points lately about "loyalty".... He didn't yet say Snitches get Stitches.

He's been on Fox already whining about the case, in tears. So maybe not #1. Although who knows.... he's a snake. I almost want him charged more than Trump.

I noticed when I "share" the link from twitter, it puts the "X" domain on the clipboard. But if you click the link it takes you to "twitter". So I manually copied the link from my address bar and edited my comment to embed it.

I could see Georgia saying “that’s your deal…. Not mine. He broke our laws and your deal doesn’t affect us”. She did say something recently about now even being able to recognize Jack Smith. So I guess there’s no collaboration.

flying is never routine. Throw in older aircraft and aging pilots.

I'll give him some benefit of the doubt in the sense he might have thought she as of age, and I am receptive to defenses that this was a setup.... but everyone has an obligation and duty to ensure the other person is of age. It's not a legal or moral excuse. He should face the same consequences any regular person would face.

Did baseball reference change their site so that you can't summarize selected rows? I used to be able to look at a player's page or a team's results page, click a row, then click another row, and it would summarize the data between those two rows.

Yeah I check his site daily. Although too many of the links go to fringe places. I find his use of imagery to be quite troll ish. In a good way. another one that was a go to was instapundit. And James Taranto’s best of the web today.

Yep. Just like when you ask a Republic congressman or governor “did Biden win?” And they say “He’s president”

I’m dead

I wonder if these blond Fox-ish right wing bimbos are so bitter because they had to **** men like Rupert Murdoch to get on the air and are jealous of the mainstream female newscasters who didn't?

can't believe in a former life I used to have Townhall bookmarked for daily reading.

Here's a great version of The Weight. I think it might be the perfect song. I love it when you have something like a music festival or tribute show and this kind of song is the finale and you have 25 legends on stage singing it. The best part about The Last Waltz is Neil Young's cocaine booger.

He's on his third team since DET traded him..... once that happens I sort of forget them as former Tigers, HOF players excluded of course.

Regarding being able to sign Miggy….. unfortunately they were able to sign him twice.

Gary Hart was disqualified because he was on a boat with another woman. Jimmy Carter's Chief of Staff resigned because he looked at someone's cleavage and might have done coke (This was the 70s).

Rod Allen also wore #12.

I hope the GOP keeps running on abortion. It’s a real winner.

Lottery is for picks 1-7. Tigers currently sit at 7th worst. I don’t think draft position is a consideration.

He’s Nixon. Do you think Desantis has any friends? Like old college buddies? Maybe from the Navy?
