Kerber crushed Sharapova (I am not a sharapova fan) and looks like she is healthy and on a mission. But watch Osaka, she can play. Halep won a long match. I don't know if her ankle will be a factor Djokovic looks healthy so far, he and Fed in same half. Kyrgios-Dimitrov match should be good, and Kyr...

Does answering honestly step on a solid joke there or was it an honest question and unintentional joke? Honest question.

If you watched TV you will also have seen the media ripping Trump for going to the National championship game, getting booed, standing for the National anthem and not knowing the words. They will find anything bad to say about him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The difficult thing for the media is finding something go...

Not that anyone asked, but here is my diagnosis of what happened to the Rams: Wonderboy McVay's butthole tightened up and he called a horrible game. They did nothing that was so successful during the regular season namely screens and slants. They ran Gurley mostly straight up the middle a la Jeff F...

Ed Royce (R-CA) is retiring from the House.

Even if only 25% of this stuff is true, it is far worse than I thought it was going to be when I went ot bed Nov 8, 2016. And I thought it was going to be bad then.

I enjoyed The Big Sick. Especially Ray Romano and Holly Hunter. I've been a fan of hers since Raising Arizona.

Going to watch Logan Lucky tonight for family movie night. I hear it is good. I hope not to be disappointed. Looks like a great cast.

And they bought Corker off with a break for his real estate company. When the Dems passed ACA they secured votes by getting concessions that specifically benefitted the Constituents of representative. The Rs are bribing the senators with personal gifts. What utter bullshit.

For those of us old enough to remember and have followed Watergate, Slate has a podcast called Slow Burn which reviews some of the less prominent parts of the scandal.

Not to defend Pence or anyone else, but I think a lot of the hypocrisy can be explained by just how singularly focused on abortion many evangelical voters are.
