The goal was to clear the tower so it's a success.

Gambling is a legitimate revenue source and baseball can't turn their back on that.

My overall point is that it's early and we don't know who will or won't prevail. I have memories of Presidents Gary Hart, Mario Cuomo, Guiliani, etc.

I distinctly remember one debate where Rubio took the gloves off and slapped Trump around. It went nowhere obviously but he took one for the team.

I've told this story before so forgive me but I like it: During the 1960 race MLK Jr was arrested. He was put in jail and the campaigns took different approach. Nixon didn't want to get involved because he felt it would look like pandering for votes, tried to be above board. JFK wasn't sure either but RFK took the initiative and contacted Coretta King and showed support. After that MLK Sr announced he wasn't planning on voting for JFK because he was Catholic but now he would. JFK to an aide: "So, Martin Luther King's father is a bigot eh? Well we all have fathers don't we?"

RFK Jr is the right's favorite son. They were fawning all over him this morning on Fox News. They're gearing him up to be a spoiler, coinciding with a potential Trump spoiler should DeShantis get the nom.

I’m not sure we should count desantis out for the nomination.

I have a hard time watching Curb now knowing Cheryl Hines is/was married to that guy.

He does have some kind of condition where it’s like that. Don’t know if it was cancer or whatever. But that is how he talks.

Hard to get upset about today. They battled and almost swept a good team.

I assume west siders? Like Holland area? My wife and I didn't technically live together as I never changed my address, but we got married in 1998 and she bought our first house in late 1997 so for those few months I was sort of in both places.

Seems like this is said every year but a baseball team 11 games into the season is the equivalent of an NFL team in the first quarter of game 2.

Even if she resigns the Senate? man the Senate is stupid with their 60 vote rules. That's based on old precedent that they were a more "deliberative" body and serious rather than a clown show. Of course if the situation was reversed the Dems would be nice and genteel and vote for a replacement. The GOP plays hardball. Not the dems. They think it's 1985 still.

MB said if she resigns the GOP said they still won't let her on, I guess that refers to resigning the committee and not teh Senate? I assume if she resigns from the Senate then the dems can fill the seat.

Wait... what's the process that allows a minority party to control assignments to a committee when a member resigns?

DeSantis will off set those missing Trump voters with the suburban vote because we all know that their biggest fear is Disney and Gay people.

What do you mean? He got Chip Roy!

He probably thought they were drag queens and as we've learned from Bud LIght, nothing is scarier and brings more fear to old conservatives with guns than a drag queen. They will cower in fear and curl up in the fetal position.

and newsmax and OAN. Those are the ones who can be "Gawker-ed"

What's wrong with being sexy?

The last game they lost was in extras.

Yep. This. No result would have given us what we wanted. A verdict against Fox with all kinds of embarrassing testimony could have occurred and they wouldn’t lose a single viewer. We all know the truth and testimony isn’t needed to confirm it. Fox was never going to be bankrupted or hosts fired.

Shep has a bit of Hawk in him. Not a fan of “sits him down” as a strike out call. I don’t recall Mario targeting the oppo like that. Comes across as a little too homerish.
