So malicious prosecution is a thing? You don't say. Thank you for pointing that out Plasi. To Mike's post, I have no idea what that is all about. Maybe the guy is a child molester and maybe not. He got convicted so you would hope the jury got it right. If the defense could not fight a malicious DA, then they did not have much to exonerate their client. You only need to poke holes in the prosecution's case to make it iffy to the jury for acquittal. She could have her son appeal I suppose. But I can't find anything on a google search of his name except his mother's plea. Seems kind of weird. The Vice.com article on the mom says he repeated abused his step daughter. Assuming this is true, the guy should hang by his toenails at the very least. There is no excuse for that and hopefully the girl will not be too traumatized by this. But she probably will which is the horror of such acts. mspart

Chicago pizza sucks. Period. I've never been to Chicago so I should know. Actually this thread has taken on a life I did not expect. Very good posts here and all very informative for the most part. mspart

Is anyone here concerned about these examples? mspart

I've already stated I'm not ok with this. No president upon leaving office should have classified documents. No VP or senator upon leaving office should have classified documents. I think I have been clear on this. What I disagree with is the way FBI chose to get the documents from ex-president Trump. They had on going discussions about the documents, Trump complied with FBI requests. In fact, the FBI knew where to go immediately to get them at Mara Lago because they had been in communication. The warrant was a stunt and not necessary. No ex president has ever been subjected to that before, hence the communications that were on going. And the pictures of scattered papers was beyond ridiculous. Obviously that didn't happen to Biden's garage. No pics extant. If the documents were SO classified, FBI would not have spread them out and take pictures and provide to the media. All a stunt. mspart

Be sure to have bleachbit to wipe the hard drives. msaprt

I heard a joke. Comedian comes to a small town and says he saw a "New York Style pizza place there. That's really funny because when I was in New York last time I saw a (say little town's name such as Duluth) style pizzeria there. Is that funny? Did I pronounce it correctly? Pizzeria, that's how you say it right?" mspart

I'm aware of this which is why it is so surprising that his politics trumps his economics. He has left economic analysis at the alter of left wing politics. Astounding really. He never admits he is wrong. If you can find even a few things that he got right, that would be something. https://seekingalpha.com/article/556041-why-new-york-times-economist-paul-krugman-is-partly-right-but-mostly-wrong mspart

There is a lot of "supposing" on Krugman's part. He does not even talk about the boomer situation, the lessening of the labor pool or anything regarding hard facts. He does suggest that we socialize medicine so that: It's not at all hard to imagine that improving the incentives to focus on medically effective care could limit cost growth to well below what the CBO is projecting, even now. The extent of his analysis is to imagine. To imagine that we focus on medically effective care, trigger words meaning rationing of medical care. We need to get rid of as many boomers as we can so that we are not spending so much. There, I just decoded Krugman for you. Assuming nothing changes, SS will be spending more than it brings in in just a few years. Taxes will necessarily have to rise because now the general budget will be paying for SS benefits. Or general budget spending will have to decrease. Or, age of benefit will have to rise. Those are the choices. Krugman's thesis that we don't have to do anything is wishful thinking. He is wrong and common sense tells anyone with thought process that this is true. If we do nothing, SS and Medicare spending will come out of the general budget. If that happens, we either just call it debt, or we raise taxes to pay for it. Or to keep SS solvent, SS taxes will have to rise either by rate increase or by salary increase or raise the age of retirement. Isn't it 72 right now? Seems high really. These are the ways to keep SS alive. Doing nothing just raises the debt. Krugman is probably the last person you want to go to for economic predictions. His win-loss record is pretty low. mspart

Krugman has such a strong history of being correct. https://www.yahoo.com/video/paul-krugman-always-wrong-never-173530058.html mspart

How would it work? Perhaps she has not thought that through really. mspart

If the rankings are any good at all, they could just include the top 32 and fill the bracket. That way conferences don't get auto bids, the top guys do. As in the case of 149, pac -12 should send 3. Maybe the correction takes this into account. Just seems like a weird way to do it. Yes, I understand B1G is the best and will have the most qualifiers. I think doing this by conference is wrong. Do it by individual ranking, if those are any good at all. mspart

PAC 12 and others getting only one person at a weight, seems not right. Maybe at large takes care of any inequities. But doesn't seem right to me. They should take top 2 at the least. mspart

Did The Mat have a forum? I don't remember that. mspart

Spencer Lee loses in the first round. Yianni loses in the second round. mspart

will we relive a Nashon ADS match. If so, will Nashon be ready to seal the deal quickly this time? mspart
