  1. How dare you question the Persian Jewess.
  2. Except that they are seriously carrying water for as industry seeking to eliminate as much regulation as they can manage.
  3. And the bill is just as ****ty as you would imagine it is: To amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing any new or amended energy conservation standard for a product that is not technologically feasible and economically justified, and for other purposes. Emphasis on the ****tiest part is mine.
  4. She was in high school during Trump, probably in an area where people love Trump, so she probably wasn't even paying attention and maybe thought he wasn't really a bad guy because that's not what she was hearing.
  5. Speaking of SNL, I think Jost and Che are in the conversation for best Weekend Update hosts ever, and this from this past Christmas was arguably their best-ever joke swap segment.
  6. We haven’t talked about this for exactly one year now, but it occurred to me recently that SNL has transformed itself from a performer’s show back to a writer’s show, in that the scripts are the main thing (writers) and not the recurring characters (performers) which, really, I don’t think this cast has any at all, and I much prefer that.
  7. But also, to Kapur’s point, Trump has revealed that his whole strategy of any-election-I-lose-must-be-fraud to be completely full of ****.
  8. Not saying it's untrue, necessarily, but this is pretty much what we could expect a story about a national DCCC-commissioned poll that doesn't provide any link to the questions to report. There is a chance it's just an endorphin story.
  9. I understand it's not the point you are making, but if Jackson Jobe were elevated to the majors today, it would not be the four youngest players all named Jackson, since Evan Carter is younger than he.
  10. I was just gonna say that Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown are probably stabbing him over and over right now.
  11. Looks like we are quickly closing in on the "and they lived happily ever after" conclusion to the story.
  12. And honestly, two games in one day feels like too much. It's not because I don't have six hours I can devote to it, but rather, there are other things I like to do with my day as well.
  13. Ah, got it. Makes sense.
  14. I wonder what percentage of pitcher contracts are successfully insured? How common was the Strasburg contract situation? That would give us an idea of how far things would have to go to wake up the owners. Maybe that’s one reason hardly anybody was getting super long deals this winter—teams couldn’t get reasonably-priced insurance, so enough of them said no to drive down the market on pitchers and other players with injury history. Not the Dodgers, of course, because they have funny money. And Nola and Hader have both been horses so it was probably easy to insure them.
  15. If you’re going to eventually spend it anyway, why not just spend the money now wherever they accept Apple Cash? Then if it turns out it is someone you know after all, you can dig into your bank account to make them whole.
  16. I’m afraid I have no advice about budget software, but I can totally co-sign onto this sentiment. I had spent the first half-century of my life buying the cheapest option possible (or, just as commonly, the second-cheapest option because of a presumed quality boost over the cheapest) just to save money. Once I turned fifty and started realizing I was going to have to start keeping things literally for the rest of my life, I started buying the highest quality stuff almost regardless of price, and I have never regretted that. It took another ten years to get my wife on board with that, and I’ve got her almost all the way there.
  17. Mr and Mrs Smith, anybody? If you like “Atlanta”, you’ll like this, since many of the same people work on both, and they both have the same feel and approach to photography and dialogue.
  18. Even worse, Ttump appears to be running our foreign policy.
  19. What’s in it for Fox News to allow this woman to lay a big stinking turd on Judge Jeanine’s set?
  20. Are these direct contributions only, or does this include dark super PAC money?
  21. I’ll be impressed when the responsibility extends to the white principal, too.
  22. That might help on the one count, although I’m not sure it would help keep balls from flying out of the park, so pitchers would still need max/max effort on every pitch to avoid that outcome.
