If she spoke much longer, Whoopie would have been back on air. I'm never ceased to be amazed by how absolutely soft these people are. They spend decades on air, speaking words written by others, with a team of associates ready to provide additional context or information through an earpiece as needed, and destroy lives along the way as Minka and her husband Eraserhead just acknowledged. One pal ends up in the sin bin for a minute and suddenly we're at a crisis and tipping point. Personally, I have no idea what's in Whoopie's heart, I can't trust Minka and Eraserhead to tell me, and nothing that has happened over the past few days have done anything to change that. I am not quite certain what a two week suspension does in this case, and I certainly don't think she did anything wrong here beyond digging in on a point she wasn't all that prepared to discuss.

Royal’s have a long history of cancelling the opposition in a very public setting. When you factor in the turbulence that the young prince has seen in his life over the past few years—he’s in the family, he’s out of the family, he’s in England, he’s out of England, the Queen mum loves him, the Queen mum is angry with him—-Rogan better be damn happy they aren’t across the pond. If Harry didn’t proclaim “Off with his head!”, Meghan surely might.

https://societyofrock.com/39-years-ago-neil-young-responds-to-skynyrds-tragedy-with-moving-tribute-to-ronnie-van-zant/ Neil Young: “I think “Sweet Home Alabama” is a great song. I’ve actually performed it live a couple of times myself. My own song “Alabama” richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don’t like my words when I listen to it today.” I was a big fan of Neil Young when I first started listening to music. When we were kids, our two older cousins would come and spend summers with us and brought NY records with them. I always related his albums to those visits and my cousins, and when one passed away suddenly several years ago I found some comfort in revisiting Harvest and other work. Anyway, seems like upon reflection, Old Neil wasn’t a big fan of his all of his own words and music, though legions of fans likely connected directly through his work. This recent dust up, honestly, who really cares? He calls for a boycott, he’s got a call hundo-mill in the bank, and it seems highly unlikely mainstream artists will follow, or that Spotify will lose anything beyond some songs sung by a guy representing the Lipitor generation. That said, a NY station popped up out of nowhere on Sirius, I flipped it on, “HEY HEY, MY MY” was on, and I turned back time for a bit blasting the radio.

The blank smile as he looked around the room while chaos ensued is sad. There was a time when he would have been pawing a congressman’s wife or challenging a reporter to a push up contest.

Well, in fairness, we know that the Bills had a very high powered offense the last couple of years, a very highly ranked defense the last two years, played in an AFC championship game and Divisional round game in successive years and a fair amount of folks wanted to run the coordinators out of town as well. The experience is pretty consistent, really, like Fritos offering consistently crunchy and salty deliciousness bag to bag.

Maybe but then I don’t get to do the whole Honda Ridgeline angle. I’m a simple guy, really.

The only questions I have at this point, as this developing situation unfolds are: Is @Niagara Bill currently tooling down the Queen Elizabeth highway at a steady 59 miles per hour, on his way to join the massive convoy in his powder blue 2018 Honda Ridgeline to show solidarity for freedom fighters everywhere; or Is @Niagara Bill on his way to assist Prime Minister Trudeau’s secret hiding place to assist in spiriting him away to another secret hiding place, again in the 2018 powder blue Honda Ridgeline; Either way, some will see him as patriot, others not so much!

Ah, well shoot, DR could read lings for sure! Some of these people are just obsessed with the 🦏. . They wanted him to go, but loved to watch him leave. It's creepy at this point.

@Precision, no offense, but I see you more as more of a First Stew, Key Grip sort of player at this stage of your development. You got moxie, I'll tell you that. I can see you leading rings in 12-18 months, certainly no more than 5 years.

Sometimes, against my better judgement, I converse with him. I usually can follow what he means, generally, and know his nose will always end up somewhere in the neighborhood of Biden's keister. Today was a prime example. He's from the "Trump cult" lineage of posters, so at first I assumed he meant I was defending Trump. As there was no reference whatsoever to Trump by him, me, or anyone else, I really have no idea.

Keep in mind in accordance with Rules of Billzy, cult members can only defend the ring leader if we have been previously born, and are currently alive. I want you to know I was born, and am actively living. I'd ask that we all agree that anyone not yet born remain silent until such time as birth occurs.

This is classic Billzy. My suggestion is bat him around a bit like a ball of yarn if you like, you'll get some good stuff but very little of it will make sense. Of all the nonsensical information he posted today, from the part of the lack of evidence of impairment implying impairment, to rumor mongering about what Skip and Poochie D at the firehouse 'cross town think they thought they heard from Jimmy and Tiny's brother on the job, my new favorite Billzyism is the need to declare whether or not he was alive at the time of the accident. I want to be honest...I was not alive during World War 2. What was that all about?

I ride with our vegan Comrade, Kay. @Irv is judicious, reflectious, and has the eye of the tiger. Mo’ Irv Mo’ Fair That’s three votes: Kay. Third person Kay. LS This race is a humdinger!

“…there is no definitive evidence…to prove ...that the other driver was drinking….”. This is your “The more you know….” moment? 🤣

The only questions anymore is “How ugly does it get for the nominee?” and “How ugly does it get for those that might oppose her?”. Will she be Kavanaughed, or will she be treated more in line with ACB?

Truth, brother, you were correct at “Of course it was…”. All your pretend outrage about all the pretend media coverage doesn’t change the fact that your Joey—the latest, greatest unifier wandering around like he’s clueless is in fact, clueless. No cohesive plan. No strategy to combat the vaccine hesitant. No ability to formulate consistent, sensible communication or adapt to changes along the way. No surprise—you should have known it when you chose him.

I’m in my early 60s. A guy with only 20 years experience is a whipper snapper and I don’t ascribe to the newfangled ways. I would like to see Dorsey in the role, but that’s based more of the perception that JA seems to want him in the role. I think at times these assumptions about relationships and who the natural fit is can be overstated. For example, I don’t really have any idea if JA truly wants him as OC. I think he does, but don’t think I would know if he didn’t. Josh seems like a loyal guy. I don’t know if Dorsey prefers to be OC in Buff, or maybe he’s appreciative of the experience but he wants to live near NYC. So, end of the day, I ride the wave, hoping the Bills and Josh get who they want. Good for Dabol in ascending to coach of the NYG, great story for a local guy. If Dorsey “chooses” the Giants over the Buffalo opportunity, I’m reminded of the fable of the bird taken in and nursed back to health. If the bird loves you, set it free. If it comes back to you, it was meant to be. If it does not, you go total slash and burn until you find that bird and make it pay for it’s traitorous ways.

What if one of you is actually Billy Lapp, just trying to build the legend of Billy Lapp? I was just telling my wife, a snow adverse city girl from downstate, that yesterday was the 45th anniversary of The Blizzard. We talked a bit about being snowed in, the crazy winds and relatively low snowfall, about my Dad being stuck at work, my aunt unable to get home and staying with us, and she remarked how crazy it must have been. Ironically, a few minutes later she was walking by the front door and said “We’ll we’ve got a snow storm here today!”. As near as I can tell, the snow on the trees is being blown off by moderate wind gusts, there is no substantial accumulation and will be none. When I mocked her, I got the standard response “Not everyone is from Buuuuffalo.”. Oh, and special thanks to Farrah Fawcett for her service.

Think outside the box, man!

I think of this perspective from time to time. When you factor in the 300m+ people only reflects the population today, with no consideration as to the number of individuals who have come and gone from the nomination of John Jay in the late 1700. The simple reality is that it is, and always will be, more about who you know at the right point in time than anything else.

It’s rather insulting beyond the political considerations. The assumption, of course, is that all Black citizens think as one, and that race should be an overriding consideration in this selection. It’s as offensive as suggesting Brett Kavanaugh was the onl He’s in this weird place today. Very unAlf like. Maybe he has a case going before the court and is hoping for the inside track?

I think what @ALF is trying to point out is that every qualified person ever has been selected to serve on the Supreme Court except for a qualified Black woman. The deal is, go to law school, develop your skill set, submit your resume and get selected.

Would you support the Bork/Thomas/Kavanaugh democrat approach to potential nominees? That is to say, in the blood sport that this all has become, is it incumbent on the opposition party to attempt to destroy the nominee regardless of qualifications?

I can't speak to percentages because in the big picture, it seems that represents lowest common denominator politics. Biden is pretty good at that. I will say that Clarence Thomas definitely feels he fell into whatever percentage of Black Americans Joe Biden was quite willing to destroy back when that was fashionable. Biden was pretty good at that for a long time, too.

I get through life having dialogue on the issues we bat about here without anyone using the terms “lemming”, “hack”, and “idiot” to describe the other party. The old adage it’s ok to disagree without being disagreeable should apply, but for some reason, when folks are hiding in anonymity, some seem to lose their sense of humanity. When that happens, sometimes people just get dumber.
