Nice Office Space movie speak drop. Timely and well delivered.

Clarifying question: Did they have to beat the other champ after the other had been the champ? Or does beating someone who already was or eventually became champ count? Technically, only the first circumstance is "to beat an NCAA champ". Or, maybe we should just do both categories!! Wrestling nerds, untie!

Agree. Metcalf beat quite a few. Especially those who graduated after he did who eventually won at 157 or 165 I think. Going only with my faulty memory: Schlatter, Caldwell, Burroughs? Jenkins? Gillespie? Did the tOSU guy ever win NCAA?

I think we agree. Bad soldiers following illegal orders. Jail them.

And anyone who followed those orders should be fired also. Summarily. It is illegal to follow unlawful orders.

More bad math. Updated prediction 4 days later. Only 3.5 million votes have been counted. 6.2 million still to count (?!?). Projected total is reduced by 200k votes. Harris Trump Current Counted Vote (Mn) 72.4 75.6 Uncounted Vote (Mn) 3.4 2.8 Total Votes at 100% (Mn) 75.8 78.4

Whoa!! A new syndrome. And, admittedly, a nice clever recycle and turnabout of the DS acronym. Shall we dub it TDS2 or TD2S2? Or TDSS (Trump Derangement Syndrome squared)? Maybe its original form is best - TDSDS. But don't we already have a term for that? American.

I call top.

What do you have against African immigrants?

Some swampies need to go to jail. And high level swampies. Let's start with Lois Lerner. Then go with the FISA Court liars at the FBI. And some of these DHS/FEMA a**wipes. Sit them next to any January 6ers who are incarcerated and let the fun begin.

I like the idea that the majority has to allow the minority to make their argument but I wish the filibuster was actually used for floor debates - televised ones. Just to say the word "filibuster" and then require 60 votes for cloture so that you can get to an actual vote on the merits of the bill is not a very satisfactory system. Maybe anyone who declares a filibuster should be required to accompany it with proposed amendments or rescission of certain parts of the bill in question. So, I must say I do not have a specific answer on how to make the filibuster more useful, transparent, and involve the actual deliberation/compromise/solution orientation I would like but overall I like having a filibuster to keep the majority somewhat in check.

Oh boy!!! Or, oh human!!! The Climateer COPter reporting includes a complete brief of the gender (and possible lack thereof) of all the delegates!!! This, of course, will help the planet survive my farting cows for several millenia longer than if the topic were not included:

From today's liveblog of COP29 (global climate hoax meeting) Two observations: - What the heck are 67,000 people talking about together? This isn't a meeting. It is a Jim Jones Kool Aid drinking extravaganza. The main difference is that Jones probably offered fewer prayers to false gods than the Climateer COPters. They went to Azerbaijan to produce nothing but hot air. How many of those attendees do you think traveled on their own money? I bet most are there on the taxpayers' dime(s). Millions and millions of them. - The UK commits to cut 81% of emissions but it is not enough!! The fact that it is not possible nor desirable nor will do anything useful for the planet is immaterial. More is demanded. Nothing less than a 181% cut is acceptable to commentators. The finish line is when there exist no mammals to fart (I am guess fish and lizards and insects don't fart but cannot state that with absolute authority) thereby completely eliminating all UK greenhouse gas emissions.

Nice Globetrotters reference. This is one of the best insults I have seen in a very long time. Good job.

jross, abortion is not allowed to be said. The acceptable rightthink term is Reproductive Health. Weird how health in this context means the death of at least 50% of the people involved and results in no reproduction almost 100% of the time. In fact, when it results in reproduction it is considered a failure and often the person produced is denied any health care.

"I can see the headlines now: Democrats Blame Donald Trump for Harris's Loss." Unfortunately I cannot claim credit for this gem. Re-posted from a comment board on another site.

He invited you and all with different opinions to fix it. Start drafting your brief, counselor, and dispense with the snark.

That's only 25 cents per Joe Biden voter. Pass the hat.

I thought you were referencing a pending recruitment push and huge increase in temple attendance.

True. Only the ones who vote do. I apologize for the implied/inferred stereotype.

Dude, let's unpack this. "Never any value to be destroyed". You are right that there never was any value in the idea (and consequent subsidies, quotas, fines, mandates, bans, etc) surrounding EVs. However, operational loses by companies in a specific quarter are not the equivalent of loss of stock value due to the betting pools known as the stock markets. So, in fact, ACTUAL dollars were pissed away in an amazingly efficient manner. I think it would be difficult to burn money as fast as these two companies lost it in the 90 days of the 3rd quarter. Remember, losses have already taken out all of the revenue these companies generated so they actually spent very much more than these losses show. I wholeheartedly agree that "investors with too much money" are not a very sympathetic group and I care not about their stock market returns for themselves. However, the US and state government revenue sources (i.e. me, my children, grandchildren, et al) are subsidizing every phase of the loss to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. To add insult to the injury: it would be bad enough if we were simply wasting our own money but we are borrowing about 25% (and growing) of that loss which is an interest-bearing liability against my great-great . . . . grandchildrens' labor. So, yes, crying rivers is a reasonable reaction to this farce. Or, voting and acting sensibly.

Can't congress and the EU mandate the future better than this? Can't they mandate profits, and physics, and what people want? -These loses work out to be about $23 million in losses every day, just under a million per hour, about $16,000 per minute, Over $250 dollars lost every second. And this is not counting the EV losses at Ford, GM, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Stellantis, Nissan, etc. etc. EVs are destroying value everywhere. We need better mandates. Or, maybe, no mandates. Mandates are tired and overworked. Let's give mandates a rest.

He barbeques puppies and eats them?!? That was debunked. Unless . . . Soylent Green is NOT people.
