  1. President Susan was probably over the top, but she was a hoot.
  2. Yes, I disliked Murders in the Building, for one thing because I don't like mysteries per se, but for another, it's a vehicle more or less for Martin Short, who I can take maybe 15 minutes of before I run away screaming.
  3. Is the point here to turn it on or turn it off?
  4. A couple of series I can recommend: A Man on the Inside (Netflix): This might be the best-ever series Mike Schur's done. It's a rather droll comedy, but it's also an examination of the ethics of doing undercover detective work. Despite how that might make it sound, it's not at all boring, and it has practically a surfeit of heart. Funny Woman (PBS): The premise is a plucky young beauty queen from the sticks moving to London to try to make it as a comedian a la Lucille Ball on 1960's British TV. This is an almost guilty pleasure in that it's not quite to the level of prestige TV, and it's definitely written for young women (e.g., before-its-time female empowerment, hunky boyfriend left behind, hooking up with beautiful men, romantic tension with the attractive boss). But it's good enough to stick with if you like the basic premise, which I do. The show isn't just like Mrs. Maisel, and definitely not as good, but it is in the neighborhood, and an easy watch.
  5. I don't feel so bad now for crapping out in the second episode of the first season.
  6. Are you Chris Ilitch? 😉
  7. I’ve been watching a lot of old baseball film, mainly from Musial’s era and somewhat before, and most of the batters are squat in the box, hands close to the zone in their stance, and their swing is far more level from where the bat is held going into the ball than today’s hitter who holds the bat high above his head and has to bring it down to meet the ball, and batters struck out way way less back then, and I wonder, if a first-rate home run hitter came to the plate holding a bat like Stan Musial, would he ever hardly strike out, too?
  8. I don’t think we know where anyone is going to end up until late March. Infield is a mess right now, so consequently, it’s pretty open and subject to change.
  9. Closed to us. Open to insiders, apparently.
  10. Because that’s where the money is for her. You’re right. Not difficult.
  11. A quarter mile away is only the length of fewer than four football fields. It's not like it's a different area code.
  12. Not the Daily Beast.
  13. Offhand, I would say because Daily Beast and Salon are journalists, while the Trump regime is a party with an interest in obscuring any bad truths about her and all of their appointees from all of us. Laugh if you want about the "journalists" part, but do you truly believe Daily Beast is flat out lying about what Russian state TV verifiably said? After all, the only counter to it is, "Russian state TV didn't say that at all." Would the Daily Beast spin out such a lie at the expense of their integrity? Or is it because the Daily Beast is not CBS, or Fox News, or whatever news source you most frequent? Also, what do our country's agencies actually say about Tulsi? I don't mean what her technical standing is with them—I mean what do they say, in words?
  14. You're the one who mentioned "cities like Chicago" going first. What else could you have meant? Surely you don't mean criminal gangs suddenly overunning the city and terrorizing white people en masse? Because that is also happening only in your dreams.
  15. So, 220 for the Republicans, eight flipped from Democrats. And 215 Democrats, nine flipped from Republicans. More seats flipped to Democrats than Republicans. You don't say. I guess it wasn't such a mandate election predicated on the failure of Democratic Party ideals after all. Looks like it really was about something else.
  16. Looks like someone wasn't happy with their 28% ACA insurance increase.
  17. I don't think there could be a successful red hat invasion of Chicago. We have are too many people here, over three million. How many red hat vigilantes would it take to subdue the entire city? A hundred thousand? A quarter million? Half a million? How would they coordinate half a million vigilante red hats for an invasion of Chicago? Telegram? Discord? How do they train? How do they battle plan? They may have most of the guns but I don't think they're genius enough to overrun and ghettoize an entire city a la Warsaw. I think this one will have to remain relegated to your fantasy scenario. I think it would have to take Hegseth's army to have a chance of pulling something like that off, although I think it's more likely they simply bomb us into smithereens like Gaza than try to conquer us like Nanking.
  18. Completely different 20 minutes argument.
  19. Pitchers want to maximize time between pitches because it helps them. I don't think hitters complain so much about it.
  20. ****ing nonsense.
  21. How can I not remember all the lyrics from a 40-year-old ad jingle? Shame on me! 😂
  22. Avoiding any super long games during the season is a big win for them. Who wants to stay at work a couple of hours longer when they can punch out in 20 minutes instead?
  23. Once the 40% of farm workers are yanked from the fields and the remaining 60% are paid their fair wage, I’m sure the price of scarcer produce at the supermarket will plummet immediately as patriotic farmers (i.e., multinational agribusinesses) absorb the additional per unit costs, for the good of the American people.
  24. Try mixing some walnuts with your honey nut cherrios and snack on them by the handful. Mmm mmm mmm.
