They consolidated a few years ago with Clarion and California. I think one of the conditions for that was the campus stays open.

So far she's been losing bigly in court. Chalk up another L. https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/elections/supreme-court-tosses-latest-complaint-in-arizona-voting-machine-case/article_e4c13fd8-f38f-11ee-8a0b-93e808b37a79.html

That's like why I have to constantly defend my screenplay "The Sexual Adventures of Teddy Roosevelt". It's like nobody has any imagination anymore.

When will Jimmy Cinnabuns pay his gambling debt to avoid his fingers being chopped off?

People just want a reason to be mad at people they probably disagree with politically. That's what I get from reading this topic. I'm sure there some people think that sitting, ignoring, not being present or not paying attention during the anthem is disrespectful. And guess what? They are 100% entitled to believe that. And I also think that we have the wonderful freedom in this country to decide whether we do that or not. Ultimately, it's just a song played as part of the pregame show now. It's so ingrained into sporting events that it's routine. I remember when Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf started sitting down during the anthem when I was in middle school. It was in the paper for less than a week and that was it.

Does it hurt anyone if you ignore the anthem? No. I remember when I went to a couple of playoff games during the Phoenix Suns run to the finals many years ago. During one game against San Antonio, they didn't even play the anthem at all. I think everyone just wanted to start the game. Yeah it has a symbolic meaning, blah blah. I stand for it at games and stuff. But I don't just drop what I'm doing if I hear it. I think that's kind of jingoistic. In the end it's just a song. It wouldn't matter if our anthem was "Call Me Maybe", I'd still feel the same. Best version of our anthem though. They should play this one all the time.

I was in the army. Most of the people in my unit or battalion couldn't have cared less. If you want to sit on your ass and not stand for the anthem, that's your decision. Forcing or coercing somebody into it is borderline facist. If you want to sit in the locker room because you're preparing for a game, that's your business. This stupid debate boils down to a few things. Are they hurting anyone by being in the locker room for the anthem? No. Does being present or standing for it have any bearing on their performance? No. Is it any of our business why people do what they do? No. Do I take it as an insult? No.

Like having their 1st amendment rights violated? I bet that would do wonders for LSU's recruiting.

If it is, and now that I remember what day it is, got me. Hopefully my doctor appointment I'm headed to right now they don't give me bad news.

Can't make this up. https://onwardstate.com/2024/04/01/carter-starocci-sued-by-anheuser-busch-for-copyright-infringement-over-natty-daddy-nickname/

I'm surprised it wasn't a Kardashian or maybe even Kid Rock.

Kyle Dake getting younger and heavier.

That's what electing Ruben Gallego will be. He isn't wasting time with crackpot conspiracy theories that people have been hearing about for 4 years and are tired of. Plus he was a Marine and saw actual combat in Iraq.

Most people are just tired of hearing it. I have several non crazy Republican friends who vote straight ticket usually. But we have common ground on more than you think. We both dislike the evangelicals, the so called "moral right". We think the conspiracy crazies are no good. Basically all we disagree about is taxes and guns.

Definitely do. High of about 78 and very windy here. Going to rain probably the next 2 or 3 days. Also an ASU alumni.

He sounds about as legit as Sidd Finch.

Here is what an actual judge said to the evidence presented: District Court John J. Tuchi dismissed their lawsuit in August 2022, and later slapped the Lake/Finchem lawyers with sanctions and the county’s $122,000 legal bill for their “frivolous” waste of court time and taxpayers’ money. To prevail, Tuchi said they’d have to not only prove that machines have security flaws but that someone actually manipulated the results to change the outcome of the election. The 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld Tuchi’s dismissal in October, noting the lawsuit “relies on a ‘long chain of hypothetical contingencies’ that have never occurred in Arizona.”

It seems like everyone who claims to have proof doesn't present it in court.

So far nobody has managed to find any actual proof that 2020 or 2022 were rigged or fixed. When presented with chances to do so, they either don't, or present things that aren't evidence.

Nothing about Republicans? It's like Democrats are the only ones who do things that are "bad". Also 2 of those things on your list never happened.

When you decide to pull your head out of your ass let us know. Sounds like it's wedged in there pretty good.

If Joe Biden had 3 marriages, cheated on all of the women he was married to, including cheating on his pregnant wife with a porn star he had to pay for sex, he would be assailed as the most immoral person ever. Yet we have a guy who did all of that, unapologetically I might add, who is now hocking bibles and trying to hold himself up as some beacon of morals and ethics?
