There is definitely truth to this kind of thinking. Not sure about this particular case but overall the Lebanese, who have been here for a few generations, look down on Yemeni and Iraqi people here.

If he decided to go to Russia and hide forever, the logistics with the secret service would foul that up I assume. They need to to scout the area before hand. They'd probably tell him he can't go not just for the "fleeing" aspect but b/c of the war going on. I don't know the precedent for a former President butting heads with the Secret Service on travel wishes. If he stayed there then I assume the protective detail would be called home and he's on his own.

My buddy had Lions tickets going back to silverdome days. Finally gave them up 4-5 years ago. They called him last year and he signed back up. He went to two games and made $500 in profit from selling the other games. He’s happy.

They made the ECF in 87 and 88. They finished first in the Norris in 92. I remember the sporting news picked them to win the cup in 93. Scotty got here. I remember Ilitch wanted to fire him and bring in Mike Keenan. Scotty also wanted to trade Yzerman at one point. the wings fate turned on Yzerman falling to them after the islanders took LaFontaine. Then being aggressive in the European draft when there were so many unknowns.

We used to have a member here named sub Rosa. We argued a lot but would probably be best buds now that I wished up.

I totally agree with that assessment. I think a lot of it isn’t directly glossing over but just forgetting those times. He did one thing right. He hired DD. Yes he was willing to spend but there was a downside to that so I can’t quite chalk that up in the plus column. having Jimmy D with the Wings along with some great Euro scouts is the difference between th wings and tigers.

Man… that article was every sports talk radio cliche all in one place. People still playing the “he liked the wings more” card. I don’t recall any moratorium on talking bad about Mike Ilitch. Didnt come up at any “official sports talking points” meetings I went to.

No worries. I'm just a geek.

Not anymore. After 9/11 they moved the Secret Service from Treasury to Homeland Security.

I'm at the point where Hinch's fate is tied to Harris's fate. This is year 1 for Hinch. Unless, as you say, they know something about his methods that we aren't privvy to, which is just speculation and worth as much.

NASA announced the Armetis II crew today. Going back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years (Dec '72 was Apollo 17). I'm not embarassed to say I had goose bumps and a little teary eyed watching the announcement. This is so freakin' cool.

So in essence they said "Be good... you all are smart enough to do what's right for your neighbors and not be selfish" And they did. That would never work here.

NASA is announcing the crews that will go back to the moon this year, for the first time in 50 years. I thought maybe it would be on CNN. They're showing us live shots of Florida of a former President who is travelling to NY, as if it's the fucking OJ SImpson Bronco chase.

We always used our neighborhood pharmacy, who is our neighbor, and the service was top notch. I'd much rather support him. We have good coverage and our meds were fairly cheap out of pocket so I'm not worried about paying $3.87 over $5.15, especially since I have to drive about a mile further. I can call Allie anytime and he'll chase things up. He'll sometimes bring them home to us. The only benefit Walgreens had was the app and auto system, which again, works fine when there's no complications. I can bring it up and punch a few things, refill submitted, no phone calls, etc. We needed a steroid once and our local guy was able to get us some coupons to use, he did it all himself. Walgreens we are just a piece names and numbers on a screen that they process as they come in.

Games inside don't count. They played in Florida, that's still spring training. Houston is still an NL team to me so this is exhibition. Tigers are 0-0 and will be 0-0 coming home Thursday.

They made us switch our prescriptions to walgreens..... it works fine when there's no problems, that's another entire post which I won't get into. But I signed up for alerts. the app will notify me. Then a text. Then a phone call.

Maybe something with the secret service? Could a federal agency be directed to end protection or used to enforce state policy? “You are breaking the law. We aren’t paying for your protection anymore”. Of course these guys get protected for the safety of the country as much as their own. Capture… torture…. Release secrets. But he doesn’t need physical threats to release secrets. Just arrange for a blowjob and he spills it all.

The thing is, the DA in Manhattan can’t worry about what is going on elsewhere with crimes. If they see something they do something. There’s no rule that you if you aren’t convicted of X then you can’t be charged with Y. There’s also no rule that if one person wasn’t convicted of X then no one else should be charged with X.

I don’t know the mechanics of civil suits. Is there anything where a judge can say one side is being “unreasonable” and force arbitration? Can a judge say before a trial get in a room and exchange numbers and try to settle? I think Dominion would say $1 award if they got Fox to admit to a bunch of stuff.

Looks that way. I guess doing it any other way would be a massive job. The walls and foundation for the seats can’t be moved. You have the concourse at street level to work with. Apparantly you can’t just move the wall on the field and just make another row of seats. I’m not understanding why they had to move out the first row of seats. You can lower the HR threshold and just keep the grate to the same height as before for safety.

I think he's a ruse.

Update on "the wall". Surely wasn't enough time given the weather in the winter to do this "properly" so it's just a band-aid approach. I hope they figure a way to make it nicer long term.

Can’t the secret service do it?

Democrats trying to feed kids. Republicans making it easier to shoot them.

Spring Break for a lot of MI schools this week... wonder if there'll be a lot of Tiger fans down there?
