  1. Encarnacion had a good look for a baseball player. Especially at that time. That’s before players began working out to the degree they do today. Slim. Muscular. Looked like an athlete.
  2. Cheap Trick might be the best band that I know the littlest about. They die Don’t be Cruel when I was in HS. Then here and there I would pick up a song I recognized but never knew it was them. Like 10 years ago The Henry Ford exhibit had a rock stars cars and guitars exhibit. I kept seeing guitars belonging to Rick Nielson but I wasn’t looking closely enough and I read it as Rick Nelson, thinking that I never knew he had such an elaborate collection and why didn’t I ever read about it when he died.
  3. It's the trap some catholics find themselves in with popes.
  4. pro tip: They do libel and slander laws are heavily in their favor. The only thing I can think of is over the air networks can't say certain words or show certain things but on CNN/Fox, that's self regulated by the industry, not the government. CNN can show some tits and say Fuck and the gubmint can't do a damn thing about it.
  5. I'm tired of the right wing acting like the Founding Fathers are some divinely inspired group who are infallible and should serve as a template for issues 250 years later. we're spending people back to the moon next year and have probes in the far reaches of our galaxy but we're supposed to listen to some old white dudes who lived before we had electricity.
  6. and the new one comes out today if you have HBO Max. They don't want to compete with The Super Bowl.
  7. Yeah I am interested I knowing what government oversight exists for those entities.
  8. I'll hang up and listen
  9. Rhonda Santis also said Congress should hold hearings over companies advertising decisions.
  10. Is it just me or has Catherine O'Hara been elevated b/c of Schitt's Creek? I think a lot of people considered her great but in terms of mainstream audiences was she considered Kevin's mom? It's hard for me to judge because I've always been a fan. She was cast on SNL but bolted b/c the place terrified her. It was the Ebersol years so it's hard to say if she'd have been a success. Didn't do much for Julie Louis Dreyfuss at the time other than introduce her to her husband.
  11. Twitter is a private company that can make it's own decisions and be judged in the marketplace of ideas as either a useful place to go or not. The government shouldn't regulate or have any oversight over them in the same sense they shouldn't have had oversight over the magazine rack at the checkout line, between the Sports Illustrateds, Glamours, Cosmos, or National Enquirers. A bookstore can decide what to stock and sell. If they want the nudie mags in with the others, so be it. That's between them and their customers. If they don't want to stock them or guns and ammo or bibles or gay magazines... so be it. Same with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. No crime was committed.
  12. I'd go with Tier 1 John Candy Michael J Fox Mike Myers Dan Ackroyd Donald Sutherland Jim Carrey Keanu Reeves Tier 2 Martin Short Kiefer The Ryans (Gosling/Reynolds) William Shatner Eugene Levy Rick Moranis Corey Haim (nostalgia) Phil Hartman Brendan Fraser (late addition given his recent accolades)
  13. Nazis gotta be heard too. The GOP wants Nazis and penises to have a seat at the table. They get mad if a cereal commercial shows gay people though. Or drag queens reading books. Ban books about Hank Aaron and Rosa Parks. They are also upset at Disney for going woke again. Something about song of the south.
  14. In sum the GOP was upset that they wouldn’t post pictures of Hunter’s dick. There’s lots of other noise thrown in but pouring thru the actual facts it boils down to that. Those moralists wanted you to see his dick pics.
  15. that video is fantastic. Unfortunately when you need thousands of people/entities to work together to do what's best overall..... well. There's no money in this for the investor directly. Yes it's better 20 years from now but nobody cares about who benefits 20 years from now.
  16. I've never seen it and so many have it #1 over The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. I need to watch it.
  17. I'm going to believe it. After his tragedies he deserved a nice happy retirement.
  18. When I think younger and hip, this is not what I think of.
  19. He got on his bike and rode down to Costa Rica and is living out on a full service resort under an assumed name.
  20. What good did guys like Sasse and Flake or even Collins or Murkowski do? They will talk a good game but a vote is still a vote.
  21. I wouldn’t look away. I know Ted has seen them.
  22. I hope they keep up this fight because their bubble and base is shrinking in an actuarial sense. Go ahead.
  23. It's in the Bible.
