DC Tom

Note that, while the NYT calls the cartoon an "error in judgement," it does not apologize for it.

Did you forget to share the funny part?

"Tommy Sweeney" is the most Boston name I've ever heard.

Between the two of them, I think it's pretty clear that pot is NOT harmless.

But if he did anything, it would have led people to believe the election was invalid. And she wasn't supposed to lose...

They all look slow. Ole Miss just looks, as a team, like they're running in glue.

He's undersized, but he looks like he's got a real head for the game, has good coverage skills, and hits like an anvil - he looks like you could convert him to a strong safety if you wanted. And he knows how to wrap up and complete a tackle. He's small, so I expect in the pros when he wraps up a ball carrier he's going to get dragged a few yards with some frequency. But I'd still prefer that to a linebacker that has his arms taped to his sides and just pinballs off everyone. I like it. He reminds me of Damien Covington.

He runs like a battleship, but without a battleship's agility. He's a TE, alright. He actually looks slow in the Ole Miss highlights I've checked...but no slower than anyone else playing for Mississippi.

I suspect, for the international edition, it's relatively tame.

No, the senate voted on it and rejected it. Then John Kerry signed it six months later. Get ready for the screaming about "Trump not following the law!" when he is, but Obama never followed it.

You say that as though it's a good thing. If we had machines replace bartenders five years ago, AOC isn't in Congress.

It's a bit of a stretch to blame an ROE issued from the Pentagon on a Navy helo being shot down because an Air Force asset was ordered to not engage by an Army ground commander. It may have contributed...but the proximal cause was a *****-up chain of command.

I haven't even shared half the cloning conspiracy here. I actually have circumstantial evidence that points to someone I work with being involved in the quickening of clones. I'll have to ask him about Britney. (He will neither confirm nor deny, as usual.)

But they can't play all 7...

The problem with judging players on metrics is that they're not absolute: they're moments in time, which may be at either end of the bell curve at that given time. But people treat them as absolute...since they're measurables, and easy to compare risk-free.

There's a lot to like, but this rather cements my view from earlier - I'm just not seeing the power to succeed in the NFL. Good footwork, low CG, good balance, great lateral cut and first step. But he doesn't look like someone who's going to turn nothing into three yards when the OL gets stood up at the line.

Bowling ball? I'm not seeing it. Again, though, I'm going off the posted highlight video that doesn't show many opportunities to show that sort of power, because his line is just annihilating people and the level of competition he's facing is pretty low. Which is not to say you're wrong...just that I have no basis to consider your statement right. If you have other highlights, I'm more than willing to watch them and change my mind.

He might be slow downfield, but he's got a lightning-quick lateral cut.

Interesting. He's got great balance, patience, and vision. And he's a fast little mother. But he looks small, and in most of those highlights he's getting great blocking. There's little there to show off any power or strength he may or may not have. Based solely on those...he looks like a third-down back. He could be successful in the NFL, behind a line that blows defenses off the line - which makes the Ford pick interesting, as well. Based on his build, though...doesn't look like an RB that's going to have a very long career.

I wonder how the full faith and credit clause applies to that. Side note: both New Jersey and Mississippi have the same State Folk Dance: Square Dancing. I wonder which state will be the first to change that...

I think my favorite "end of life" story is my brother-in-law's aunt. Diagnosed with terminal cancer in her mid-70s, and she thew a party: got all her family and friends together, martinis for everyone, let everybody know she had only a few months and this was her chance to say goodbye. Then after the party, laid down in bed and gave herself a fatal injection of morphine. Having seen a few too many people suffer through some ridiculous end-of-life "support," I can respect that. As a society, we have a really warped view of death. Even 75 years ago, people understood that it's natural. Regrettable, but not something that can ultimately be avoided, and avoiding it at all costs is ridiculous.

Hard to tell much from those highlights; that is some weak-ass competition.

So...assassination attempt before Wednesday?

Intersectionality. Everything is everything else, except the white capitalist patriarchy.
