I'm not saying Putin's petro politics power play is a *bad* move. It just might be akin to cashing out your 401k to pay for your kid's engineering degree, only to find out he's a coke fiend. Maybe he straightens out and gets rich. Or maybe you both end up *****.

Bill Belichick is a great coach. He used to be a great coach with great assistants (Nick Caserio, Dante Scarnnecchia, Josh McDaniels) and great players (Tom Brady, etc.). Even his shadow and master of the dark arts Ernie Adams is gone. For whatever reason, for all his talent and experience, he can't develop or hire good assistants. His success rate in the draft is abysmal. He coaches the hell out of what he's got, and finds a few gems in rounds 4-7. But the gist of the article is, coaching the hell out of what he's got is the bare minimum, and it's not good enough. I think this is article is decent Boston sports reporters trying to bring spoiled Pats fans down to earth. Much more a piece about how soon, Bill is going to hang them up and the glory days will be well and truly dead. But it might be more a "pull the plug" type exit for Bill rather than riding off into the sunset with a last Lombardi.

Interesting. Russia's hoping that short-term political pressure will get them what they want. Otherwise Europe will take energy from other places and sources. And destroy their demand for Russian energy.

It's not out place to oppose Russia's neocon imperialism unless we actually declare war on Russia and fight them straight up?

So there's no way to support the fight against america hating Russian neocon imperialists without supporting the globalist cabal?

Supporting a country against america hating Russian neocons and their imperialist adventures is warmongering?

Ha! Remember that time JFK took his convertible for a spin through Dallas and tragically shot himself?

I'm as surprised as you are. Ukraine was supposed to roll over after four days!

Bad day to be a fish in that river.

There are a half-dozen other punters who had the good judgement to avoid situations like this. Or the decency not to do what Araiza is accused of. Dude's toast. He's gotta go.

Oh no, people in there 20s and 30s will have an easier time building wealth, buying houses, and raising kids. Anything but that.

I'm more worried about private equity firms sucking up single family homes and turning them into rental properties. I don't want a fat quarterly dividend. I want to own a house.

Well, I don't own a home but I'm finally getting close to buying one. So this is great news for me and everyone else that wants to stop setting their money on fire via rent. And if this bothers people, they should have sold during the years of record home prices. Markets go up and markets go down. You waited too long to cash out. Too bad.

Thanks, this is a great idea!

I'm pretty much glued to my computer on the day the schedule comes out. We pick a game, get a group together, buy tickets and books hotels within 72 hours of the schedule coming out. If you're very quick in the draw, you can get your rooms locked in in the half hour or so it takes for the hotels to change their prices.

Are both sides equally bad? Is that your argument?

Wow. Any reason you felt like flexing your theological muscles? Especially when the result is, well, this SAT word salad?

Man I should have been a beltway journalist, so I could write "No, really?" stories like this one.

If her goal is to win the White House, yeah she seems like a longshot. To say the least. If her goal is to kneecap Trump and Trump's candidates... She's only got to poll between 3-5% to start flipping red states purple and purple states blue. Everyone thought Ralph Nader was a joke, until he took 3% of the vote from Al Gore in Florida. And I don't think President Gore would have filled his Cabinet with "Project for the New American Century" brainiacs and Neocon imperialists, but that's just a What If. We live in a country where every electoral strategy is based on winning 51-49. That gives here the chance to wield all sorts of influence. But just the chance.

I tried. it took the author until the second sentence of the second paragraph to start the Hillary Clinton Whataboutism. She lost. She is completely defeated. She is a total non-entity in our current politics. She is completely irrelevant in every way. There is no logical or intellectually honest reason to bring her up. In fact, Trumpers should ve beggin her to run. She's lost every competitive political race she's ever been in.

Man, that's exactly what I was looking for, a lot of promising film from the rookie class. I just wish Beane could draft OL like he drafts WRs and the defensive back 7.

The fun thing about a book of strategy is anyone can read it, and anyone can use it. Like how Erwin Rommel wrote Infantry Attacks, and then George Patton read it and used it to beat him. Since you've read Saul Alinsky, and can quote from it, why aren't you telling us how to beat Saul Alinsky's tactics? Wouldn't that actually help the country out?

Aye, and if that McCorkle were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse!

So even though she votes with the GOP 99% of the time, she's not good enough because she doesn't worship Trump and Trump doesn't like her. That's basically what you're saying, and it's exactly @Jackalope89's point. Liz Cheney fails the Trumper Purity Test, and therefore has to go. Even though she supports 99% of what the GOP does.

You can watch Frank fall in love with Wentz's piety and attitude on Hard Knocks. Frank was gushing about he and Wentz reference the same verses from scripture and it made them close. Then he turned out to be a cack QB. Frank got Peterman'd.
