There's one at Starbucks on MI avenue every Saturday when we go in around 10. My wife thought she had it figured out who it belonged to but the last time we went in, that guy wasn't there.

i was just listening to the Love Song last week. I made a playlist of 1989 Power Ballads. That was a good year for those.

I think the Aztec was ahead of its time. It spawned the crossover market but my theory is it was just intended as a concept but someone too high up the food chain, like a finance guy rather than a car guy, really liked it and nobody had th guts to explain the situation. Concepts are extreme. They aren’t meant for mass production. Just to show elements.

and if he never played for the Tigers then Chris McCosky has no reason to suck up or kiss his ass.

I mean.... PA is an open carry state. A guy with an AR-15 is probably some patriotic dude looking to be that good guy with a gun. Why should the cops worry about him? You can generaally find a lawyer willin to sue anyone for anything. I'm not suggesting Trump's campaign is responsible because I don't know the rules, the law, etc. None of us really do. Just explaining how it's possible there's a lawsuit. A lawsuit itself is not an indication of guilt and it's not prosecutorial. It's just a lawyer with a pen, which from the Godfather book, is said "A lawyer with a briefcase is more powerful than a hundred men with guns"

"you are not being a team player"

I always learned that good organizations fire people who tell the bosses what they don't want to hear, whether it's valid or not.

I think it's different when it's a sitting President, who is their boss, and "just a protectee" which is now as a former POTUS and candidate. A sitting President being protected isn't just about his own safety, it's the nuclear codes and other sensitive info. That is also their repsonsibility. My other guess at this is that the USSS sets up the perimeter and is responsible for that. They are not responsible for the logistics, where the stage is set up, etc. Areas outside of the perimeter... they can't guarantee anything. But there's enough there for a lawyer to think there's a case. If I got to a Tigers game and get shot by someone.... I can sue the hosts of the event. In this scenario Trump's campaign was the host. I worked security for the beaitifucation mass of Fr. Solanus that was held here about 7 years ago. It was at Ford Field. It was a global ceremony and a huge deal. The biggest security event held in that building since the Super Bowl. The Archdiocese was responsible for security even though the FBI and Homeland Security were involved as well.

yeah I think it's just simply teams get an off day Mon-Thur so they had them play Thursday and didn't want to have an empty Monday. Both teams had been playing for 2 weeks or more. I don't know how much say a home team gets in terms of whether a day off is Monday or Tuesday.

A few years ago our school district had a big thing about "gay books" being in the Library and we saw the convergence of fundamentalist christian and muslims at school board meeings protesting. One resident said "They can be gay when they are 18" This is the mindset we're battling.

.500 on the road, unless it involves the White Sox, is pretty much all you can reasonably expect. That's always been my expectations. Especially when you play a team with a better record.

I always get hateful eight and Django mixed up.

Especially if the game were on MLB network and Costas did the game. He’d spend the whole game talking about it. He doesn’t understand that most of the viewers have been paying attention all year but in his case it’s the first game he’s seen all year.

I don’t think it’s a secret that Sparky and HoJo didn’t get along.

That’s the role the media has taken up and look where it gets them. They are abused drug addicts who stay with the guy who beats them and pimps them out because they still need to get stoned.

It sounds like they are using an AI version of Ernie’s voice and it’s mispronouncing all the names. Cheap.

I have never heard of this until now. Free agents weren’t really free. I can’t believe the MLBPA would agree to it.

Just shows you what a scumbag he and his followers are. He gets shot at and everybody is supposed to be empathetic towards him but his people can attack people doing their jobs and it’s all a joke. **** him and **** those people cheering. They deserve to suffer.

Was that “draft” part of the collusion?

If Kamala had said that they would have demanded she be kicked off the ticket.

Just say away from the "George Washington Slept Here" house.... that didn't turn out so well when Mathew Bevilacqua went there.

The question is why won't he apologize? All he has to say is "Yeah, I'm sorry, I went overboard there....." Is it because he's a jerk? Or is it because that will make The Boss mad? I think both options are credible. Of course, he has a job. Trump doesn't. And if he wins, he gets a new job and Trump cant fire him.

I haven't spent too much time digesting reaction to her interview. I watched it. It was fine. She didn't hurt herself and didn't set the world on fire. I don't see any issue with that. But I suspect reaction is once again evidence of a dobule standard. Trump gives an interview and says Trump Stuff, all the wild bat **** ideas and conspiracy theories. Media: That's just how he is Kamala gives a standard matter of fact interview. Nothing crazy. Perhaps a bit of word salad. Doesn't hit a home run though. Media: Critical. A speed bump? Is this a crack? Her interview was pretty much in line with any other candidate's interview over the last 50 years. But she's a black woman facing Trump so there has to be something said about it somehow.
