the building looks like the old Holiday Inn signs.

I still can't get over Mehmet's insistence on not being called Mehmet. It's not the media's responsibility to go by your trade name or to just say "Dr. Oz". They don't refer to Rand Paul all the time as "Dr. Paul". He wants their help in reminding people that he's "That guy named Oz" and not just any other guy named Oz, especially a guy with a 'foreigner' name. What kind of a patriotic American has a name that sounds like some Ay-Rab? Bad enough they had to sit through Barack Hussein Obama. True story, a HS friend of mine, after Obama was elected, complained that he was going to have to try to explain to his daughter than a guy named Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of these United States..... yes he has a southern accent too.

is it because some people think she's a lesbian and that's still a put down to some neanderthals? The kind of people who think they are being clever when they say "Ellen Degenerate"?

The lots can be seen as a placeholder in case other developments pop up. For example they announced yesterday some new construction for UM that's going to take up one of the lots that I started to use since everything there is cashless now. You can prepay and use a barcode to get in and out.

So can Paul Ryan as a Fox board member speak up?

CNN should have Chris Cuomo on now. That might get their attention.

A red head wore green… guess it’s peppermint patty.

They aren’t hurting anything. It’s not like it prevents seating areas or blocks potential amenities.

Treason is a capital offense. Suggesting a politician committed treason and should be prosecuted and if convicted given punishment available is not a crime. so go somewhere else with that bull shit. That dog don’t hunt here.

And behooves him to speak up.

What I read was they wanted to take him away and he said to the guy something like “look… I like you but I know if I get in that car I am not coming back today”. That could be read your way but I think he was referring to the need to finish the certification that day whatever it takes. I am not thinking anything nefarious but the USSS.

Whats the joke?

Why is he asking about local issues? I thought conservatives believed in Washington staying out of the way? Oh that’s right… the unbiased news channel has an agenda

what about the people that live there now? That site has nothing to do with the Ilitch org anymore.

I would have liked more than one level. Make the first level about 2/2 of what it is, increase the slope, then another level right above that, then suites, then your upper deck, or put suites lower, who cares. Other stadiums are built that way. When I look at Comerica's seating arrangement it is rather dull, especially the lower level. The rows are too long. I really like Busch Stadium and where the Reds play. The decision about the skyline was also a cost thing ,not just about showcasing the city. The "largest scoreboard" was about cost. Less construction and alas... more ads They've improved things quite a bit with their subtle changes and Chris Ilitch implied they could do more.

how else they gonna fight advances in civil rights?

According to Fox and "Doctor Oz", referring to someone by their name is cancel culture.

When you look at the polling on who is vaccinated and not and who will never get vaccinated it's very clear there is a partisan divide and the political leaders for each party own that. It's not an accident. One party has been very hands off with pushing vaccines. With a few exceptions GOP leaders say "People should get vaccinated but...." then they throw in caveats and disclaimers. Fuck that. And for as bad as things are in MI now they are not as bad as it got in the south in the late summer.

At what point should Garland appoint a special prosecutor? Every politician that saw this memo and powerpoint should be charged.

When they say "pro trump people" do they mean protesters or.... politicians?

the pilot was shot quite a bit before the reason of the series as that was just to see what HBO thought. Originally David Chase thought it would be just a movie. The season 1 arc was the idea for the movie with a bunch of filler. He told Steven Van Zandt, "I hope we don't get picked up, I'm out of ideas".

Sparky had a quote where he said if he wasn't a manager he would be a painter. He thought it was a good job because if you make a mistake you just paint over it.

So california is going to implement for guns what Texas did to abortion.
