Jeeves is too specific for Getting the Spins
Anyone of you fucking hipsters out there have experience with vinyl/turntable setups? BSFGF just got me a really nice turntable for my birthday and I've not the slightest clue of where to start.

Wow. Rand is probably the least bad of the GOP field by default for having a handful of ideas that aren't batshit insane, but having something like that on his official channel makes him look awful.

So she's the anti-kingmaker. Is it that insane of an idea? The crazier this circus gets, the more it benefits the GOP in general. It may have been done by the RNC, it may have been an idea out of Trump's campaign because why the fuck not, it could be that Palin's book tour money is running a little...

They changed the rule on ties. If there is a tie after final, there is a one-question decider, with buzzers. Whoever buzzes in first, answers and wins or loses.

Only job open (as of now)... But, the ice is pretty thin in Detroit, right? It's 50/50, yeah. The obvious choices to replace Caldwell if they go that way are McDaniels or Patricia. If Quinn (the new GM) is happy with either of those, then they might be content to wait until the Pats are eliminated....
