  1. That guy is one of you. He devours the same media you do and agrees with you on everything
  2. We have to go thru metal detectors at baseball games because Goober insists on having guns available to him so he can play “army” in the woods.
  3. When booking a car rental and you need something of a certain size, book one size lower. Chances are you will be upgraded given inventory on site that day. I was reminded of this as I am reserving now. Prices for airfare were higher but car rentals seem a lot lower than last year.
  4. Another in the “what is the pro life solution for this?” This is the reality and the kind of situations are laws are supposed to accommodate. not the insane “domestic supply of adoption” by the freak ACB. Guess the right wingers are tired of settling for black kids.
  5. It God wanted the pre born to have full autonomy she would have made it so women laid eggs instead of carrying for 9 months. Until the baby is born it’s a part of the mothers body and she and her doctor should made the decisions free from the government. That’s the conservative way right? Let people make their own decisions privately.
  6. To further expand on how much credit to give Ilitch.... would he have hired Yzerman if he wasn't Steve Yzerman?
  7. BTW, I credit Michael Kinsley for opening my eyes up to that logic. If people truly felt that abortion was "murder" and that a fetus was the very same thing as a baby 2 weeks after the birth, then what does it say about them if they do not try to stop that at all costs? Of course, we tragically know that some of the fanatics do believe that and have murdered and tried to murder women seeking abortions and the doctors... but nearly everyone who opposes abortion and uses those terms does not agree with those actions. I argue it's inconsistent if you truly felt that way. But if they then acquiesce that it's not reallly murder or a baby then they go down the compromise path.
  8. You know nothing about my faith so that's a dumb thing to say and those who brag about theirs are often the most wicked. You are being a hypocrite or using language you either don't believe in or don't understand. To sit idly by while you know women are "killing babies" would be immoral and make you as guilty as the Germans in the 30's who stood by while they knew Jews were being slaughtered. or maybe it's something besides "killing babies". But you can't admit to that because then it breaks the foundation of your argument you've trapped yourself in.
  9. and I think Hannity and Ingraham are on Fox making alternate cases on that race.
  10. women are not killing babies. Full stop. If you really thought that then you are an accomplice since you are not taking up arms to put a stop to it.
  11. I've said this many times but it's hard to fault Ilitch in some ways with the first 10 years of owning the Tigers. He didn't have any baseball contacts. He hires John McHale Jr, a well respected guy around the league. The keep the early 90 teams propped up a bit then start over. He hires Randy Smith, son of Tal. Respected baseball family. He hires Buddy Bell. Respected baseball family. On the face that sounds like a solid foundation. The near .500 ish seasons of 1997 and 2000 were bad things in retrospect. Gave just enough of an appearance that maybe things were moving in the right direction. Buddy Bell was fired because he confronted Smith, wanting an extension, and Smith pointed to the record, and Buddy says "These guys all suck". Randy says "Maybe it's not them, maybe it's you." It was them.
  12. I think that's the case. Avila's reign can be split into two paths. Mike Ilitch alive and Mike Ilitch dead.
  13. Firing Avila would feel good but I don't see what it would accomplish. I think he's got a good team under him and I assume they would just take over.
  14. Its there but it's not a magic potion. And it also just puts them on a level playing field.
  15. I do not but if you are not a member of the Snow Woods facebook page look that up and ask there. My advice is stay away from any company that advertises. A good company doesn't need that and those that advertise are usually 4-5 times higher. I got new gutters with leaf guards for a good price. He operates just on word of mouth.
  16. 1) Hoarding in 2020 led to an over supply at home and analysts couldn't predict the demand 2) A small baby boom in 2022 and decline in breastfeeding 3) A pathogen at a MI processing plant 4) Silly regulations on labeling requirements from Europe and
  17. All of the content owners created their own services and are taking their shit back. Netflix is left to their own stuff like Ozark and comedy specials and the rest is Dateline type shows.
  18. The Duke speaker's accent and cadence is incredibly annoying.
  19. I think it would be great if he either opened one of his shows with Margaritaville or didn't play it at all. It would be hilarious. But I admit that DMB is basically Jimmy Buffet for my generation.
  20. I'm not an expert but I think it exists for money laundering. "I bought this" "What is it" "it's this thing they told me about" "Where is it" "Well you can't see it. But they say I have it. It's mine" "How do you know?" "Because they told me"
  21. The thing is that it's entirely subjective. There's no measurable metrics or results to go by. It's not like the artists compete with each other and there's a winner and loser. The industry has changed so much over the last 30 years with radio being so narrow now. Is a quality artist loved by the critics who plays 1500 seat music halls more deserving than the flamboyant cheesy artists that draw in 15K regularly? Are both worthy?
  22. Wow, I forgot about all of that. I knew who she was but forgot about his direct involvement. Now it makes sense. They even "reminded" us when they referenced Lalo killing the travel agent kid. Damn this show is so good. I need to find a wiki to refresh everything. It's my only frustration is not remembering things from 3 years ago.
  23. I had the chance to be in a suite today for both games but had to decline. It's weird because I donate to my company's PAC and that's where it came from...... but I can't take off work in order to do it. I also have the game in my regular package for both. Isn't one of them a road game? That's probably why they are able to give us both games. one ticket for both. My son is going.
  24. I'm having trouble following all of that. He's mad at Megan because the Russians ran McCain's campaign and now Steve is saying that John wasn't on the up and up like we all thought and the McCain's were in bed with them too? Is that it? To me this reeks of just inside baseball. The general public won't care. McCain's dead, Russians and elections is old news now, right or wrong. I read his initial tweets where he talked about Romney and a chair and I couldn't tell if he who he was complimenting, if anyone.
