The Stauskas team and the Juwan one seed were pretty good as far as cackling goes but these guys have a chance
Trying to remember a team I root for that has made me cackle with delight as much as this year’s Michigan basketball teams, both of them.

right-wing chuds love the “easy times make weak men” bit, but the good times literally are generations of not commonly losing kids to disease, and the weakness is voluntarily abandoning the single most effective public health intervention on earth as an in-group signal.

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy
bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.
