what a terrible prospect. Then again it could speed the Commonwealth along the path to the future and the cashless society.

he didn't exactly do the world a particularly good turn in India either IIRC.

FIFY!

yeah - Hayes doesn't need to play 30 min. At this point either he is a bust or he's just still too young (20 1/2) and may mature into a better player with time. Either way playing him starter's minutes now seems pointless. You either keep him around on the 2nd unit for at least another year because you see something such that you still believe he will mature into that better player -- or not, but big minutes now aren't going to get him a year older any faster.

34/8/8 - closing in on triple double territory. But 3 FT attempts total by the 5 starters. Easily a 5 pt difference.

He's a D-Lineman isn't he? He's not supposed to like QBs. When Alex Karras was a Lion he hated all QBs, including Detroit's!

interesting point. No State of MI report today but cases today have hit their lowest level in several weeks in Washtenaw county.

the GMO thing covers multiple of issues. I would agree there is little evidence that GMO food is harmful to consume, but the issue of whether it is harmful to the environment to grow it is a different question. e.g - If engineering crops to resist glyphosate results in more massive quantities of glyphosate being pumped into the environment where it 'overflows' into other systems where it is toxic, you may still believe with justification that there is a problem with GMO.

What chance did he ever have with parents that couldn't spell?

fair enough - I really wasn't thinking about this law in particular as much as the concept of sanctioning an elected official who is dishonest in an official administrative (as opposed to political) capacity. The question of what to do about candidates - or for that matter elected political leaders that lie is a another question. It's basically something that the society has completely let get away from itself. Back in the day, there was a kind of standard about bald faced lying in office. You certainly could always get away with a ton of shading of reality, but there was still a level of of denial of reality that held. It was still strong enough 50 yrs ago that Nixon was forced from office over it, but for me there was a real turning point with Clinton. Regardless of whether it was a question that never should have been asked or the topic was irrelevant to his official duties, allowing him to remain in office after having lied under oath was simply a terrible civic precedent to set and IMO has made any kind of political truth telling standard impossible ever since. The irony is that he could have admitted everything and still would have left office with high approval ratings and Al Gore as President. In my book he turned out to be a great fool in the end. And I think our politics has paid a price ever since. I wish I knew how to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

that would be the key though wouldn't it?- it would seem to me you can require 'official' speech that comes out of someone's magisterial function to meet a standard of truth. Sure private time twitter would have to be something else.

always. 🤷‍♂️ Don't censure her, just run someone against in the primary and let the voters decide. It's supposed to be a democracy - at least so I've been told...

why would there be 1st amendment issues associated with requiring truth in official government speech? How would it be different from sanctioning outright lying by court officials - which is punishable in the judicial branch.

So does Spring Training start on time at Lakeland/Tigertown for everyone not on the 40?

It's was a joke MB. (that was "grinning, ducking and running" for the those that missed the pre-emoji internets) Deep analysis not required, though always potentially interesting.

So Calvin got a free ride to the HOF? <g,d,&r>

One hundred years ago, when people went off the deep end paranoid crazy in mid-life or later you could just assume tertiary syphilis. There must be some new thing this century.

America will remain a racist nation as long as it remains a segregated nation - that is the true test. And America today is not much less segregated today than in 1922.

Pinkerton's did a lot of things that were more high profile, but railroad work was bread and butter for them in their early days (post civil war)

Schools? It's maybe less an issue with Covid given the combination that kids are already at low risk and covid vaccine effectiveness in young children had been questionable but taking the more general question?

decent sized, but if it was really 'massive' that film didn't capture it.

another gas-bag company on the ropes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/01/20/peloton-production-halt/

Hopefully he found solace in being himself tonight - you know that's all he really wants to be able to do....

I only watched the first two periods tonight - my main impression of Zadina? He fell down a lot. OTOH, Veleno showed a little pursuit energy here and there.

Preds were beating up on the Wings from the get go and the Wings had no response to the physical game. They don't return it and they aren't fast enough to play past it. And it seemed like every time early in the game the Wings did get a man open in the slot he was on his backhand. You'd think they didn't know which side shot each other are.
