If you take the name out of this, and change the profession, this sounds an awful lot like a guy who thought the enterprise could not function without him, who thought management was ruining the business, who pined for the good old days and cursed progress (as viewed by the owners of the business anyway), and who had difficulty leaving his emotions at the door. In short, it's a story that plays out thousands of times, every day, across the country. I chose not not to read his columns because I didn't like his style. I thought it odd that he was offended he was asked to take a different role, but was willing to stay if Bucky stayed, but reached his limit when Bucky left. When all is said and done, man, it's sort of pathetic to me to hear a guy like this. You had choices, you were given an opportunity to stay in a new role, they offered you a buyout and you left. I'd bet a whole lot of people in America would kill for those options when their company moves in a different direction.

Damn that's funny.

Is part of the fun telling everyone that you don't have time for the fun unless you have time for it? In that case I have to pledge loyalty to the pretender king, because he cares enough to spend some time just having fun.

Now you're either misinformed or a liar. He said "I don't know everyone at that firm", asked at least 2x for context, and said something along the lines of "let me think, not as far as I can recall.". So since he said that, and you claim it would have satisfied the Tiberius litmus test as outlined above, why is that a dodge? I think Senator Harris was really unprepared, not knowing who she was asking about, when, why and where. To think she will be running for president looking like an angry lady fishing through her purse for change for the parking meter....yikes.

Kavanaugh took her to school. She is what she is in this role, rude, snarky, condescending, combative and passive aggressive. He made her look that way as he volleyed back a few times, asking for the date of an issue she brought up (leaving her scrambling with her team of 5 associates on something of supposed great importance to her questioning), answered the questions as he saw fit, adding context in spite of her interruptions demanding a simple answer to a complex question. Her supporters will cheer her, her detractors will forget when their guy dies the same thing, but at the end of the day, he looked like a very capable guy. It's a shame in the swamp that politicians will eviscerate a person, ruin them with innuendo as to racism or sexism or whatevrler.....then whine about how crazy trump is when he bypasses this freak show and just says "I think you're a dick". Buffalo Gal said something similar yesterday, and she was 100% correct.

Seems like it just sets the table for Repubs to follow similar action in the future, when a dem candidate has something really of interest in play, with a reference to CBs actions on 9/6/18.

I think what he meant was that if he suspected Obama of being a traitor. You'd have to incredibly self-absorbed to have missed the millions of people who thought, and think that Obama was a very bad man and used his authority illegally and immorally.

I'm not interested in investing all that much into a story told given the context of how it's delivered. Big studio production, big name star, huge budget with lines written up by professionals. I just want to watch a movie, and as I've gotten older, there are less and less people I'm willing to shell out money to see. I realize it's fantasy, heck even watching Chappaquiddick, hard to say anything was historically accurate other than party..girl dies..teddy flees...and that obxoxious neck donut he put on. This actually brings me back around to kaepernick, kneeling and the &$&$ing incessant desire to revisit it during a game. Snap the ball. Run the ball. Throw the ball. Kick the ball. It's football, not Face the Nation. Anyway. I wasn't aware of the kilt part. Thanks for ruining that for me, the_$&#%ing_dude. Btw, I loved the imagery of WW being disemboweled. All implied, no blood or guts, just a classic movie scene well done. Jesus...was he even disemboweled???

Plus, those aren't even the real guys. Actors. Actors in kilts. And probably not from Scotland. I love that movie. FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

What a gutless approach by the Times to publish an anonymous letter of this magnitude, and while I generally disagree with the "enemy of the people" tag, the publishing of this supposed "opinion" piece comes pretty close. As for the author, well, just look for the person with the longest arms in the WH as he/she seems pretty fond of themself. I'm asked to believe the president is off his rocker, with a finger on the button, tilting the US toward a totalitarian regime, and this noble soul and other like-minded good guys go around just tidying up the room after he leaves? The world is at a crisis point and the best they can do is a heartfelt and anonymous letter to a left wing news outlet? Why wouldn't the army of formerly faithful soldiers walk out, en masse, with documents supporting their position? Why right as Kavanaugh is being considered, as the heat ratchets up on the DOJ, and with the approaching midterms just around the corner? Seems like a perfect time to save the country. Here's the deal. Trump called the media out, correctly so, and the media has all the time, funding and inclination to take him out. It's not unlike going against the mob, but while the Gambino's blast you in the face with a shotgun, the media employs the death by paper cuts approach. Thank God for Twitter.

The President nominates, silly boy, and former President Obama did just that. No outcry, no wailing at the Washington monument, and I agree with you 100% that the will of the people was served in that regard. I say that in spite of the fact that I was not a fan of then President Obama. It's unfortunate that in this case, the nomination was akin to winning the popular vote, which might provide some lasting sentimental memory, and may well go on the shelf next to the Best Smile-Right Fielder trophy from a winless little league season, but it means little in the grand scheme of things. But this boils down to understanding the rules for confirming a nominee, and it's vital for you to understand that's a crucial part of the process. I can't help you if you think nominee = confirmation. Read a book sometime. On the other hand I am ok with calling the Obama nominee "Special Nominated Honorary Justice Merrick Garland" if it would ease your pain.

100% correct, in context and no reply necessary.

You don't follow that the makeup of the Senate reflects the will of the American people? It's about the elections, silly. Lots of them, in fact.

You're confusing (deliberately or otherwise) the business of politics with the business of activism. When Merrick Garland was nominated, there were no screaming spectators, no unknown individuals aggressively approaching him in a circus-like atmosphere, nothing of the sort in fact. What happened is indisputable...the political party in control of the Senate followed the rules of the Senate and carried out the will of the American people during that snapshot in time. It happens, and it may be painful when your guy is the right guy at the wrong time, but sometimes we get what we want, sometimes we don't. Conservatives have struggled through it, liberals have been on the short end of the stick, but it is what it is. The good news for all Americans is that if all goes well with BK, it's mostly just political theater designed to rip apart the fabric of our society. Sinister, yes, but in this case, things should work out fine for us all. We do agree the dems put on a sh5tshow. We'll always have that, and that should be enough for today. There are things I like about Trump's approach, but I would prefer a more subtle leadership style. I have come to the conclusion that you are correct, and we needed this guy at this time, but there are times I still feel like I'm wearing my velcro underwear inside out.

The hearing made a mockery of the election, the process for choosing a SC justice, the respect for the family and children of the nominee, his commitment to public service and his courage for accepting the nomination. It was an absolute freakshow, with people screaming, unknown individuals with unfettered access to the nominee, and the words "Don't taze me bro" seem fitting here. It served as a reminder to me that for all the rhetoric that comes out of Trump's universe (verbal, tweeting, hot mic), much of which I find distasteful and divisive, its a tactic raised to the level of an art form by the left.

She wasn't playing Piper today. She was actually appearing as the great American Thesbian Paul Reubens, and living through his eyes as victim of the sexually repressive 80s, where a man in America could be jerk-shamed for what is likely a perfectly normal activity for many in an adult theater. She's living her truth, and that's always cool.

I just respect the hell out of ck going sans makeup here. Promotes a healthy body image for all the boys who look up to him. He's Colin Kaepardashian.

I guess that viewed it as pedestrian on nature, like a parking ticket or being added to a direct mail list. Someone once said "They think you're stupid."

Well it's clear now that Hillary and Bill were colluding with Don and Don jr. Since Obama was overseeing the unmasking of key Trump associates, thus working with Hillary, Obama was working with Hillary, Bill and Trump. Since Brennan and Clapper were working for Obama and Hillary, they were actually working with Don and Don Jr as well. Since Don and Don Jr were working with the Russians, Bill, Hillary, Barrack, Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice et al were actually working with the Russians as well. The only person in DC we can definitely say did not work with the Russians was Seth Rich, and that's only because he was mostly dead after accdiently killing himself while carrying out a self-mugging.

That was funny as hell.

I've been really fascinated reading the back and forth here, TYTT or DCTom citing Friedman or Solzhenitsyn, you referencing what appears to be "The Works of Mrs. Doubtfire". What bothers me is this: why did you include the word book in quotation marks above? Were you quoting Task? Was it sarcasm? Was it a message to the rest of us? A cryptic clue? Is it not really a book at all, just a series of novellas like Stephen King's "Different Seasons"? Because, interestingly, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" appeared in that series, and it's a little known fact that Stephen King actually crafted that novela (aka "book") after reading the works of Leo Tolstoy. As Tolstoy was Russian, though not a Stalinist, it seems reasonable that Stephen King should be investigated for collusion with the Russians. Is that where you were going with all that?

One can only hope the confirmation hearing goes as such, though with Trump being accused of __________ lots of liberals are _________ and seem very convinced that _____________ will be a bigger issue than ____________. Plus, John McCain was a friend to all and the world smiles nevermore. Oh, and if the cartoon of an elephant driving a truck bumping into a donkey is a dogwhistle for....anything, I condemn the cartoon elephant.

That second piece is hysterical. I loved the part about the "pony" express, and he was correct, the Sesame chicken ain't nothing like momma makes!

In an ironic twist, those people suffer from the same affliction the most hypocritically pious among us often suffer from..undeniable arrogance coupled with an over-estimation of self-worth as it relates to other people.

You're forgetting we beat the Chargers last year, their QB tossed an incredible 5 picks, and our d line was ferocious and created pressures and mismatches all game. It was a bloodletting. I think you have us confused with a whole nother team.
