As I said, lacking empathy. Which is distinct from just shutting on the other side. But we’ve all lost our ability to civically disagree these days. And fact is often a loaded term, especially if you ask deconstructionists, many of whole would be categorized as liberals. Economists are good at telli...

Trump was asked by a reporter earlier on Friday if he'd ever asked "foreign leaders for any corruption investigations that don't involve your political opponents." "You know, we would have to look," Trump answered. That's Eliot Ness level stuff there. Indefatigable corruption fi...

Where I get annoyed is the lack of empathy that seems to be more on display from the other side. We’re all short on empathy but it really jumps out often from the class of faux intellectuals I’ve seen a lot of in DC and NYC in my time there I take it you've never caught Fox, Hannity, or Rush. Plent...

I believe it’s called a glory hole.

Wonder if that’s a banned phrase here?

I’m endlessly fascinated with the majority of this boards reluctance to tell folks like DocB and JHU72 to stuff it when they claim all Trump voters are amoral, unethical, disinterested, etc. I’m the operating partner of an 1100-person aviation company. We are growing fast. We carry zero debt outsid...

That text exchange is remarkable....the declaration that the president does not want quid pro quo was priceless. Sounds like his staff dictated it. The quid pro quo already happened. Are Americans really so dumb that they don't understand that? Did we already give the Ukranians arms and cash? Yes. ...

Felt good when I typed it.

Wouldn’t mind freezing, have northern blood and it’s hot as hell down here where I live.

In case anyone is interested. First Friday of each month economic data is released. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t17.htm Ton of great information provided by government resources. The thing that concerns me most about this administration, which is well illustrated in Michael Lewis’ most r...

Lots on the left criticized their own for not voting for Hillary last go around. Those of us who voted for Kasich, Bernie, etc. can be proud of voting our conscience for our country rather than simply for the lousy candidate the major parties foisted upon us in '16. This is the kind of false equiva...

How do you do the color for postseason blues?

Is the PAC12 going to toss USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal? So that means the conference will go that way. Then why would a stud RB leave the west coast where he can get paid to go to a ACC, Big12, Big10, SEC school, so you lose all those recruits. Matter of time.

Finally, another roster is posted, UMass. https://umassathletics.com/roster.aspx?path=mlax&roster=319&sort=class Don’t know much about the freshmen, Zach Kearney from Hill, Tobin’s brother enrolls, and looks like a couple upper class transfers. Realize they’re in AE, but checking the transf...

If one grew up on the west coast or NE and moved into SEC country I think they’d see how perverse it is. Even talking basketball isn’t really germane, this is all about football.

Think Reggie Bush is wondering when he gets his heisman back?

Just great to see us getting more “backyard” talent. Seems like we drifted away from that a little in the tail end of Kerwick and TW years.

I agree that non profit status and municipal shelves to run for profit projects through are all issues.

The problem becomes when laws are over-later and more and more explicit language is used it creates more arbitrage opportunities.

yeah. they're capped if they want to play in that sandbox. they can go to another sandbox if it works better for them. free market. they'd also be capped if they wanted to get into federal government work. or if they wanted to be a teacher in ohio. or a union employee. if they were good enough to g...
