  1. I’d elect her. I’d elect her so so fucking hard. Wait—what’re we talking about?
  2. Yarr--this chair's too high, sez I.
  3. Does it annoy me that Leclerc gets credited with the win? Yeah. Will I get over it? Yeah.
  4. Oh, fuck--get him how now, Mike. He looks all fucked up.
  5. I mean, don't worry Adolis--our bullpen can surely hold a one-run lead for a couple innings.
  6. I gotta say, I think I'd prefer to play the Kings if for no other reason than I don't think we've ever had a playoff series against the Kings. And there aren't just a whole lot of Western Conference teams that the Stars haven't had a playoff series against at one time or another.
  7. Huh. I forgot Sidney Crosby even existed.
  8. I would not want to play Detroit in the first round. They look like they may have some magic to them.
  9. So do you have to hold a vote on the MTV first? Because right now, Johnson doesn't have enough votes to remain speaker without Democratic support.
  10. It is a prudent financial decision to lock down the capacity that a water utility is going to need at some point. Take-or-pay contracts of that nature are pretty common, because that's the only way reservoirs get built. A reservoir costs billions to build, and it's not going to be funded and built if you don't have guaranteed customers. SAWS doesn't really "pay for water that it's not using." When it needs that water, it really needs that water. So it pays for that water to be available when it needs it. if it doesn't need it, ok. But the water was available to SAWS and couldn't be used by anybody else. So it really was used by SAWS.
  11. I mean, I guess. If the show had started at 8:45 and had the arena been at a comfortable temperature, I think the show would've been ok. But when she doesn't start until 10:30 on a Sunday night and doesn't want the a/c turned on, it's kind of easy to be put into a foul mood off the bat. Probably half the songs she played were some serious B-side shit. I mean, I know all of Madonna's hits. And she has a lot. I'm from the 80s, goddamnit. But I didn't know a lot of the stuff she played (and judging from the crowd reactions, I wasn't alone). And then she had two 15- or 20-minute little soliloquies, where she was trying to be deep and thought-providing, but was just vapid and trite and dull. I mean, that's a lot of content to have to slog through to get her to sing the songs you showed up to hear her sing. When she does sing those songs, it's pretty entertaining. She's not much of a dancer anymore, but her backup dancers are entertaining. And the whole staging is often pretty cool. But on the whole, . . . meh.
  12. We left around 1:15 or 1:20, and it looked like it was probably going to finish in the next 15 minutes or so. But yeah--I'm tired this morning.
  13. I never knew Madonna had so many songs I don’t know.
  14. It’s a very rational response. It’s big and showy for the Islamic world to see that Iran isn’t going to take its consulate getting bombed without a response. But the response is done in such a way that Israel can repel it with little difficulty and virtually no damage. Israel can declare victory and call it a day based on the performance of its air defenses and the support it has received from its allies. And, in fact, that’d probably be the smart play. But it’s not the play that keeps Bibi in office and out of prison. So really no chance of that happening.
  15. Call names all you want—right now, Iran is acting pretty rationally.
  16. I don't exactly know, but I would strongly suspect that the decision on that is with the FAA. This shit isn't being built primarily with city money. Most of the money comes from the FAA. And the FAA is notoriously conservative with its growth projections.
  17. No--fuck that. It's not the minority party's job to help the majority party govern. Johnson is a perfect speaker for the Democrats to campaign against. He's heinous and despicable, but he's also incompetent. Apart from somehow getting Hakeem Jeffries as speaker, Johnson is the best the Democrats can do.
  18. I'm sorry--are you under the impression that I'm in the fucking dugout? There was never anything any of us could do about it. But we can still talk about the umpires fucking up an obvious fucking call for five minutes.
  19. That is exactly why the rule exists. Goddamn MLB has had some shitty umpiring to start the season.
  20. The fucking umpire signaled infield fly. And why wouldn't you? Because it's a fucking infield fly.
  21. I'm watching without volume, but what the fuck was that?
  22. How is that not an infield fly?
  23. A couple hundred thousand ballistic missiles and drones.
