He's gonna win. He was always going to win. Question is if he's seated. This could blow back on the GOP big time come next November. If McCon nell tries to deny him his seat, I'll bet he sues McConnell claiming he is violating the constitutional rights of the voters of Alabama (whichever amendment ...

...and they failed. And they're scrambling. And apparently Tee Martin STILL isn't getting a phone call. Meanwhile, Joe Moorhead got floated as the new head man at Mississippi State and not a soul is batting an eyelash. Thought experiment: What if the one-and-only target at Tennessee had been Moorhe...

You can even take issue with me, if you want.

And, yes, Pruitt, in today's America, I do th...

Not only are the Eagles the best team in the NFL right now, but they also have the best team celebrations They've also played the easiest schedule (based on opponent winning percentage.) They’re the team that hasn’t had to play that team with the best record in the league. as a long time Eagles fan...

I think the argument is that the average white person may not realize how ordinary these bigots can be (Eichmann was the definition of ordinary) and may not understand the thrust of the article. Of course, I don't know what percentage of the NYT readership consists of average white people

The big difference is the massive gerrymandering that took place after the 2010 census
Flipping both houses would be fantastic. If the Dems flipped Congress in 2018 I would have morning wood for 2 days

Ummm...Dion Lewis took a kickoff against the Broncos and handed to the ref without downing it whereupon the ref gave him the ball back so he could down it?

The Dems have to do the right thing. The people that do these things have to be exposed and go. If the R's don't do the right thing (and there is no reason to believe that they will unless the crimes are so heinous (that Rep party chief in Oklahoma for example) then so be it. The Republicans have al...

Trump is now in a twitter battle with LaVar Ball. That is so Trump and so LaVar Ball. Two carnival barkers that have figured out how to monetize social media.

He will stay in. This asshole defied the Feds more than once before. He might as well be a divine right monarch with his outlook on life. If McConnell won't seat him, he will sue, claiming a violation of the 17th Amendment. This guy is on a mission from god in his eyes. Anyway it comes out, the R's ...

All this because Goodell handed down an at least justifiable suspension of Elliott (I think Elliott either skates or gets only a couple of games if he doesn't grab that woman's breasts last offseason)? Would be funny if the rest of the owners rallied around Goodell to fuck Jones though, which seems...

I think you're completely underestimating how many Americans sympathized with the Nazis during that era which I have to assume included many members of the military. Saying that the entire country was anti-Nazi is looking at the country in that era with rose-colored glasses at best. Many Americans ...

I will admit, though, that my thoughts on whether he should resign depend in some part on whether a Dem or Republican replaces him. This is why I can't get too sanctimonious about Republicans supporting Moore instead of a Democrat. Senate seats matter to millions and millions of people. If Franken ...

The Browns were going to give Cincinnati a 2nd and 3rd for A J McCarron but the paperwork got messed up and it didn't happen. That is more than SF gave up for Garoppalo. Am I reading that right? Was the Browns' last good QB Bernie Kosar?

When I was a kid and went to see Spartacus, I fell in love with Jean Simmons. Kirk Douglas jumped into a pond to swim and stuff with her. At that time I would have given up a body part to trade places with him.

Tough to choose. Both pretty damn hot
