Even if Harris wins all the remaining states, it’s not enough. I can’t believe we have to live through this again and it will be worse. The America we once knew is basically over.

Has Skubal been screwed out of his Cy Young yet?

I showed my ID so I could vote early Monday last week at one of our few early polling stations. And they close at 5 PM — conveniently serving persons with flexible schedules, which means those with higher income levels than a lot of other people. There are many ways to suppress voting, and this is just one of those many ways.

People who are proud of not voting usually bluff their way through life with attitude and confidence because that’s all they know and they think they’re above it all. Nothing can ever please them or propel them out of their bunker of conceit. Attitude and confidence are the two most easily available elements in the human universe. Everywhere from boardrooms and back alleys to battlefields is littered with the debris caused by attitude and confidence.

I voted for One Republican in Boise, Idaho for Ada County sheriff because the Democrat had withdrawn and accepted a job in Honolulu and good for him. And because the only alternative to the Republican was a neo Nazi who claims that most rape cases are phony because most women make it up. He was essentially saying that he would consciously under investigate rape. Of course he runs under the banner of the “Constitutional Party” which apparently wants to override the constitution and have a one man dictatorship with no checks balances by the legislative and judicial wings.

“But I also want to be clear. Anybody who thinks it’s time to play militia: Eff around and find out,” he continued. “Anybody who thinks it’s time to insult, to deride, to mistreat, to threaten people: Eff around and find out. We do have the cuffs, we do have the jail cells, we do have the Philly juries and we have the state prisons.”

Nate Silver’s cautious final squeaker of a poll favors Harris. There are more women of all stripes in this country who are simply pissed off and not staying in the kitchen and obeying their men and keeping their mouths shut than there are Nazis, angry old men, pseudo patriot biker a-holes, shallow Internet influencer babes, and distorted incel losers and it’s going to make a bigger difference than even he thinks. Prepare to be pantsed GOP.

I guess the simpering twaddle that the Lions can only perform up to snuff in a cozy, rainless, indoors atmosphere was laid to rest.

I have a hard time imagining what someone smart would do. But we are all about speculating so it’s a fair question. I think the first question is actually less about Skubal specifically than it is about the vision of what kind of franchise this is and if you are you willing to make exceptions. Do we run with the big dogs or not? If we are willing to run with the big dogs, what limits are there? Skubal could be a special case — a once in several generations cornerstone player that is the face of the franchise — and if you decide that he’s important enough, you can do everything possible to keep him. Harris has led us to believe that things like this are conceivable. He doesn’t rule it out. I think they will try really hard to keep him, and if he really likes being here and likes the chemistry and camaraderie of the team and the promise of its trajectory, he might stay. But he’s going to have to be treated with respect in regard to all the other offers he sees. I don’t think it’s realistic to expect a family discount from him. Maybe some of these intangibles will be meaningful to him, but I don’t know.

I’m taking a knee myself.

It would be nice if the Lions could just have a sustained drive that ate up time.

This is getting tedious.

Disappointing for Green Bay to move the ball 74 yards and get nothing.

True, but it worked. Sometimes desperation is a good friend.

Gutsy play to get the First down on that fourth and five for Green Bay.

Forcing a turnover here and then scoring a TD would be nice.

After such a drive holding them to a field goal is pretty good.

Come on don’t let the Packers dream of getting back in this game.

So the Lions can play in weather like real men do? Heck yeah!

He took a bow? Fine him!!

Gibbs up the middle for 15 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
