  1. I had no idea until well after I saw the movie that Gary Oldman was HST.
  2. This ain't your great-granddaddy's Red Army. 40% of said Red Army were Ukrainians.
  3. Ever since Trump got elected, the dictionary has demonstrated a very strong game.
  4. Every Republican accusation is a confession.
  5. IIRC John Rocker gave up a walk-off balk right when he was in the middle of his controversy.
  6. He forgot the ending: "I'm still going to support Trump because Republican."
  7. For those of you law dogs more familiar with federal criminal sentencing guidelines, how much time is this clown looking at on conviction?
  8. The instant that Obama's campaign in the 2008 Democratic primaries finished off Hillary, anyone with a pulse knew that she was A) going to be the 2016 Democratic nominee, and B ) she would be in huge trouble in a nationwide general.
  9. I have yet to hear any good argument from any quarters for term limits that stand up to scrutiny. All you end up with is a Legislature lacking in institutional knowledge and totally reliant on Big Lobby. There are already mandatory retirement ages in the federal system. That would be a far more effective improvement.
  10. Los Alamos sure as hell ain't no party, disco, or CBGB. Saw it last night. Thoughts: -Enjoyed it. Very heavy material. -Somehow Nolan managed to make three movies at the same time (a standard biopic, a treatise on the pitfalls of nuclear weaponry, and a courtroom drama) and roll them all into one. -There's no way RDJr could have pulled that off if he hadn't spent the past decade playing Tony Starke. -Was it just the theater I was in (Alamo Drafthouse Twin Cities Big Show screen), or did Nolan need to pull way back on the top-end volume?
  11. This is the third time the same guy has pushed this story as breaking news. If there was anything to it, the MSP media (which easily has the worst college sports media coverage in the Big Ten and has already flushed out at least 2 massive scandal in the U of M athletic department) would have pounced on it.
  12. 3-0 despite having two goals taken down for offside, a missed PK, and hitting the crossbar.
  13. You and I are both old enough to remember when the GOP fought the Kremlin, instead of getting marching orders from there.
  14. No. It sounds like this judge wants this to be the case to overturn one or more of Lawrence and Obergefell.
  15. https://www.vox.com/2022/6/24/23181723/roe-v-wade-dobbs-clarence-thomas-concurrence Obergefell was one of the 14th Amendment rulings on Clarence Thomas' hit list from Dobbs.
  16. Long story about the timeline of the saga of Dan Snyder, Jon Gruden, the Raiders, and lots and lots of bad blood. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37965420/the-secret-history-dan-snyder-demise-washington-commanders-owner
  17. This. I initially thought the two week suspension was just so that the general counsel's office could get their documentation in order to fire him for cause at the end of the two weeks. It's now clear that the suspension WAS the punishment and the NU president changed his mind after this went public. In hindsight, they should have fired Fitz straightaway.
  18. They should be looking at a hot joint down in Juarez, Mexico. The sheriff from Jericho Hill has (ahem) a good line on the perp.
  19. As noted elsewhere, this ain't your great-grandaddy's Red Army. 40% of the aforementioned Red Army were Ukranians.
  20. Going on strike is the national sport of France.
