Right about the time they start looking like a good team, they give me pause to question if I will still be a fan if they move to Indiana.

Yeah, like really... What?? It was maybe the least surprising remark from a horrible excuse for what some people call a human being -- maybe ever. TFG is seeking the San Andreas Fault of depravity, and just keeps redefining the bottom. I refuse to react to how he behaves. Our pain is his nourishment

One day cricket. Do you even hear yourself??? A single game that only lasts one whole day? I hear the one day match is up against the paint drying competition. Rugby is a far more compact sport. What's to understand? Two teams playing keep away and kicking the crap out of each other.

If she wants to run she should run. So should Pete, and Gavin, and anyone else who has a case to make for why they are best to lead us out of whatever this mess is. I don't want the "machine" to restrict this choice.

Well, it is the second half of the American football season, baseball is out until spring. NBA is here a little. I follow FC Porto a little (and of course Wrexham 'because') for football and Glasgow in Rugby. So, it's a full year for me.

The reality is that there is a finite amount of stuff. The billionaires want more of it, so we need to accept living with less of it.

But that's not the insurance company. That's the MRI co. Medical services just cost more in the States. They are for profit businesses that provide medical services.

Sure, right up until you have a surgery that the hospital and Dr's want to charge $100k for that ends up costing $8k. Or a medication that would cost me $1k a month that I pay 200 for. It feels like a ripoff right until you get really sick.

Former theology student here, who found Liberation Theology as a clear way of understanding the universe while being a white guy (so not oppressed). Made it very confusing for me, but social gospel ended up being the only way I could understand the point of any of it ultimately.
