I think they're also richer, relatively speaking. The Howard Hughes "it makes you crazy" kind of rich.

yep. I watched Alice In Chains last night

right. their strike was an illegal act. not just a violation of their contract but... illlegal. They were given chances to not do it.

and frankly Iran Contra, like most scandals 30-40 years ago, are such small potatoes compared to what we face today.

I'm sorry but the left needs to realize that they won't find a perfect candidate for them that will also win elections. Stop litigating 40 year old battles. Her point on Reagan was to highlight the changes within the GOP today.

For awhile Cobb lived at the Detroit Athletic Club, when he was having marital problems. I think that's neat considering his statue is just a few hundred feet away.

I wonder if there's anything to draw from cases where the 4 women rule together? Granted we don't think that with men but when one of the 4 has her politics....

She gave the speech from Wyandotte. We had specific reasons to stay in Dearborn when we moved 11 years ago but Wyandotte would have been our second choice.

then they cook it well done and use steak sauce

Vulfpeck released their new album yesterday, along with a concert where they played it. So far this is my favorite but I admit to a bias towards Joe Dart and his bass.

That's depicted in once upon a time in hollywood. Manson goes to the house and asks for Terry.

Owning the libs takes priority over anything in the Bible.

they all fled from here. Either they are casually admitting defeat or lack the skills.

I wanted to love I walk the Line when I saw they were making it. Joaquin sounded perfect for the role. I like the movie. I watch it whenever I come across it... but I give it an 8. Phoenix made him seem like a crazy mad man who would snap at any second. Cash was gentle. They did his first wife wrong too.

Didn't view it. Watched episode 3 of White Lotus. It finally got going, I was about bored with it. Then I watched the SNL Vault channel...

Dems should set up their own town halls and have a delegate on stage and put a cardboard cutout of the chicken GOP rep next to them.

Now the term they are using is "price movements"

the whole "keep politics out of this thread" thing isn't a rule so much as a self regulated thing. The people who participate in this would like it that way so if you do engage in political talk be prepared to be yelled at by them or ignored. It can be a blurry line when you have major policy shifts that will affect the markets. There is a line but I can't define it and we don't have to know where the line exists to know it should be there.

I remember when Kenny Rogers died right before COVID shut us down and someone said that was the most “know when to fold ‘em” thing ever.

OUTIH is clearly becoming one of my favorites ever... Pulp holds a special spot so it may not ever top that but I find so many new things in it every time I watch again. It's so genius.

I think we will watch it this week. Tarantino had quite the stable for his Manson clan in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which she was a part of. Dakota Fanning Margaret Qualley Austin Butler Maya Hawke Lena Dunham (already famous at the time so doesn't count in the theme of what I'm doing here) Sydney Sweeney

But I don't think the goal is to say he was a great guy but that he wasn't a monster. We don't need to specify what a bad person he was every time his name comes up. There were people trying to get his plaque taken down at Tiger Stadium. Speaking of that, there was a story that someone took it or it was unaccounted for. The same plaque is outside Comerica Park near the entrances to the offices, by the player/staff parking garage.

I won't tell you it's impossible. The way his wacko cabinet was just rubber stamped tells me there's no courage among today's GOP. I envision scenarios like the FBI and even the military trying to seize ballot boxes. A showdown between a state national guard and our military with him trying to nationalize one or more of them. Military firing on protesters. Assassination attempts on leading dem leaders, with pardons to follow. You are right, the evangelical supporters of his see this all as the prophecy so yeah.... they're on board totally.

I admit to there being some biases at play here.... this author has made the rounds at certain institutions that might color the goal of what he's trying to do (google his name if you like to see what I mean) and Cobb being a Tiger could mean I want to exonerate him. But I think I'm on solid ground with my expectations. Cobb's a southerner during that time. Al Stump agrees to write a book. He's a drunk gambler with debts and a chip on his shoulder. Cobb dies. He writes a sensationalist book. People pick up on that and over the decades it becomes conventional wisdom and people like Ron Shelton and Ken Burns elevate to pop culture so that Ray Liotta as Joe Jackson tells us "nobody could stand the sonofabith" in Field of Dreams. Show me that he desrved the reputation he has/had as it relates to his contemporaries to justify what was said about him that isn't sourced from Stump or Burns.
