    I think you’re far left, unions etc.  I could be wrong.  Far right and left fail on Econ policy.  

    I don't think I've ever said anything that would lead anyone to conclude that I'm far left on anything, really, let alone economic policy. In my adult lifetime, which began with Reagan's second term, Bill Clinton was the most fiscally responsible president. He was center-left, practically a Republican. I thought giving Clinton economics another go was a good idea.

    I think the Democrats on the whole should be farther left than the Clintons, but not as far left as Bernie. I'd like to see them have some success and force the Republicans back toward the center from their current position on the extreme right. (A Clinton victory in 2016 would've helped to achieve that goal.)

    Part of the problem is that the Republicans have been plunging farther and farther to the right for the last 50 years. Nowadays an Eisenhower Republican looks like a far left socialist.

    Thanks for posting that. It's damning and done with photographs. Another aspect that I find interesting about the cigar meeting is that it puts the participants in a random place that can't possibly be bugged. I wonder if Cohen used that tactic a lot.

    Many mobsters have.

    True.  I’d argue against whatthebuck’s fucktarded Econ policy all day but at this point I’m hanging on the left.  Country over party.  Weird concept.  

    Huh? What is my Econ policy?

    I'll bet anyone who will take the action $100 that he meets with Putin anyway.  With or without any "resolution."  (Hint: he'll just declare the situation resolved, even with zero change in circumstance).

    You don't bail out on a scheduled meeting with your employer.

    I assume he's constantly in contact through backchannels anyway.

    Tell me something, numb nuts. What if I told you that Antonio Gates never played a down of college football? And you think his meteoric rise in the NFL despite never having played college football had nothing to do with the guy who coached his position for the first two years of his career? 

    Your fucking degree is showing, you fucking moron.

    Clearly Brewster is responsible for all the recent success at A&M. Now tell me about Mark Snyder's glowing resume.

    I don't expect everyone to do their research on every subject - I don't. But what is reasonable as an expectation is that you do more than judge a guy who has been coaching for 36 years by his one small stint at the HC level. He's produced pro tight ends for multiple schools. He coached and helped develop Antonio Gates into a hall of famer at San Diego. He's been classified as an ace recruiter, with skins on the wall like Vince Young, Natrone Means, Alge Crumpler, Jameis Wintson, Marvin Wilson, and most of the current aggie class, for the last 25 years. If you're simply judging him by the 2-4 games you saw him coach at Minnesota against Ohio State, well, you're simply being another lazy, myopic, thoughtless, stereotypical Ohio State fan. So, I guess, carry on. 

    Do you think Antonio Gates would be a failure if not for Brewster's coaching? Newsflash: players make coaches more than coaches make players. Every coach claims the best players they've coached on their resume. 

    I get it. He can recruit.

    I think Tech needs to completely blow up their Air Raid identity. It's stale and nowadays that offense is not a mystery to defend. Even if you have a Patrick Mahomes you aren't scaring the top half of the conference. Tech should at least interview Lane Kiffen to get the media going nuts and double message board traffic. Besides, I think Kiffen could make Tech competitive. 

    He can't even make FAU competitive.

    Good for Tim. Not sure what he sees in Mack at UNC but I wish him nothing but the best. Hate to lose him but that happens.

    So is the perception here that Brewster is a good coach? My only impression of him is from when he was the head coach at Minnesota and he was an unmitigated disaster at that job. I really haven't followed his career since then. 

  9. Congrats to the Boilermakers for holding on to Brohm. I didn't think it would happen but the athletic dept. at Louisville is kind of a mess right now and Purdue ponied up $5 Million per year to keep him in W. Lafayette. Now they could probably use some big splashy facilities upgrades to help with recruiting. This is great news for the B1G. 

    Pretty impressive getting a raise to $5 Million when you needed to win your last regular season game just to become bowl eligible. The B1G West is going to be crazy unpredictable the next few years.

    We really are at war with autocracy right now. I think we have seen the extent of democracy globally until we resolve this test. We are seeing new battle lines being drawn with Russia and China taking lead and it levied the proverbial nuclear bomb to the heart of it. I hope the power of democracy can eat the blow and repair, stronger than before. 

    If you want to get really rich, autocracy offers you far more opportunities. Democracy will probably die long before the richest people measure their wealth in trillions.

    I don't think the refs usually screw over Texas any more or less than any other team. Reading the football board you'd never know Texas' opponent has been flagged for more penalties & yardage than the Longhorns in 5 of the 8 conference games. 

    Sports Fan Psychology 101. In every game thread, for every team, win or lose, there will be at least one person complaining that the refs are biased against them.

    Around the time when Karl Rove successfully convinced South Carolina that John McCain sired an illegitimate negro child, the GOP saw a huge incentive to begin courting deranged morons into their party. They have finally flooded themselves with angry, emotionally fragile lunatics and the dipshit dildo levee has broken. They are now floating around in that human sewage, helpless to the oily currents of fringe idiocy -- can't win cesspools without 'em, can't get smart conservatives like George Will on board with them. Frankenstein with bumper stickers and loud exhaust pipes is loose and he's not wearing pants.

    Eventually they'll learn that intelligent, fiscal conservatism without the screeching flatulence is still in vogue and can win elections. Just stop handing they keys to fat loons selling fear and dick pills. 

    It started with Reagan inviting the evangelicals into the party and giving the Mystics a voice. Science is out, magical thinking is in.

    Yep. Look up “WKRP - The Complete Series” on Amazon (or wherever). Was released in 2014, I believe. Wife gave it to me 2 Christmases ago. Pure Gold, Daddy-O!

    I did. According to the customer reviews, not all the original music is there. Is Dogs? Is Hot Blooded? I'd need to know an exact breakdown before Id want to make the purchase. (I'm not asking you for that, of course.) But I appreciate the tip. I was unaware that they'd released anything after that awful first season release I got suckered into buying before. I'll have to do further research.
