    My guess is that it was random.  Goes after Booker.  He's a Dem?  So what.  That's 50-50 chance.  And Hillary too.  Wow.  You got me on another 50-50.  1 in 4 now.  Amazing!  And Biden.  Whoop de doo.  That's just 50-50.  And Bill.  And Soros.  Well tra la la.  That's just 1 in 4 for the two of them.  And Maxine.  Even odds there she would be a R or a D.  And De Niro!  How would he even know his politics?  That was just a 50-50 happenstance chance.  And Holder and Kamala.  1 in 4.  That's better odds than a lot of professional baseball players getting a hit.  Why is this even a thing?  OOOOOOhhh Barack and DWSchultz.  Like you couldn't pick two Dems out in a row.  1 outta 2 for each of those.  I say we post this on the coincidence thread.

    see, we need another damn third party so it is harder on the genius bombers of the nation. 

  2. Mookie being Mookie.

    Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night featured some cold weather, with game-time temperatures in the 40s and the night only growing colder in the hours after the Red Sox won, 4-2. 

    That provided the context for a truly wonderful gesture from Boston outfielder Mookie Betts ... a gesture that might have gone unrecognized were it not for former Red Sox player and current WEEI host Lou Merloni:

    Yep, Mookie provided an abundance of hot, fresh meals for members of the local homeless community after helping his team take a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Bostonian Mike Winter even spotted Betts and Betts' cousin helping to set up beforehand.

    "I didn't know who they were at first. They had hoodies on," Winter told WEEI. "Next thing I know they are laying out trays of food. Then they're walking around all of Boston Library where there are tons of homeless and telling people there is food around the corner. I walked up and I said, 'Hello,' because we have a mutual friend, and then all the people from the club came out and he just walked away. No pictures. No nothing. None of the homeless even knew who he was, but they were just grateful for what he was doing."

    And hey, it might bring him some good karma in Game 3. Back in 2015, Betts told NESN that giving a slice of pizza to a homeless man in New York City helped him put up a two-homer game against the Yankees the next day.

    ''Me and Blake [Swihart], yesterday, we got to eat, and had [a piece of pizza] left and he said the night before, he had given it to a homeless guy and he hit two home runs,'' Betts said. ''So I had a pizza. So I gave it to a homeless guy and hit two home runs, so maybe, pass it on to the next person.''

    As if he needed any more help at the plate.

    Cesar Altieri Sayoc from what I've read.  Sayoc-mostly in Phillipines and USA, but unknown origin.  Altieri-Italian.  Cesar-Spanish, Portuguese, French.

    If I'm guessing his family background, I'd say he is descended from the Spanish people who originally conquered the Philippines and who migrated here after we conquered Spain.

    Or anti-Castro Cuban.

    PNC Park in Pittsburg would like to have a word with you.

    Went this summer and loved it. I used to go to Three Rivers growing up and PNC was done right. Great atmosphere, good fans and excellent bars surround it. Hate to say this, but I enjoyed my 6 days in Pittsburg.

    Chicken Sandwich doesn't believe a counterterrorism official. He prefers to take Donald Trump at his word. This is a level of stupidity we haven't seen before. 

     

    maybe it was a Saudi CounterTerrorism official. We all trust them now right? 

    So Trump is mobilizing military assets. Can we send the Aggy Corps instead? 

  6. let the dogs drink rain water.

    well Surly mafia, guess we know where there is bottled water. 

     

    AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Animal Center, Austin Pets Alive! and the Humane Society of Austin have all asked for help as the city of Austin goes under its first citywide boil water notice.

    Austin Pets Alive! says it does not currently have an adequate way of boiling all the water needed to care for animals at the shelter, located at 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St. near downtown Austin.

    APA! is asking people to donate bottled water — or water from outside Austin — to the shelter. Donations can be brought to the area outside Building C, its medical clinic.
