The Swamp

Trading Places was filmed in Philadelphia in the neighborhood I grew up in (right around Rittenhouse square). I had not lived there for several years before they shot the film, it did bring back some memories.

I was listening to a podcast this morning, Pod Save the World. It was an interview with Mike Morrell a 30 year vet of the CIA who at one point was acting director. He said that after the government took down Osama Bin Laden, the first call Obama made was to Bush. He said there is a certain relations...

If you didn't think O'Reilly couldn't be more of an asshole than he already is (like his buddy Trump)

It wouldn't have mattered.

I feel like it might have.

Every time I watch the Eagles play I give thanks to the Browns

In light of John McCain's implied criticism of Trump over getting a medical deferment in 1968 for bone spurs I thought I would tell my story. I was in med school from 1967-1971. While there I enlisted in the Navy to serve after my internship. At the start of my internship I developed Guillian-Barre ...

Zombieland is worth seeing if only for the cameo near the end (which I won’t spoil). absolutely agree with that just watched a French movie The Midwife. For those of you who either speak French or like subtitled foriegn films this one is a pleasure. Great performane by Catherine Deneuve (one of my ...

They beat Carolina and Pete Morelli.

I don't think I can recall anyone who ever looked so about to collapse under their own bullshit than Sarah Sanders. Even Spicer could kind of tell a straight-faced lie. She however looks like she's trying to conceal the biggest shart half-way through any question being asked. I saw someone refer to...

I agree. Well done. A pleasure to watch.

The picture in the Tweet is from 3 years ago. Pence is such a tool

My Eagles had another good game. It is a long season, but maybe they have the talent to contend, something I wouldn't have thought a few weeks ago

Richard Spencer and his Mazis were in Charlottesville again
chanting
we will not be replaced and Russia is our friend
I guess they must be channeling the 1939 Nazi-Soviet pact to divide Poland

What a bunch of shitheads

Pence is almost as much of an asshole as the guy he works for

I unloaded my Magic: The Gathering collection today and got $2,500. I haven't played in over 5 years and they've just moved from place to place. Well, they acquired some worth in that time. If that amount looks high, just think that the collection was worth at least double . Unless you have the pat...

During the Eagles-Chargers game Schlereth kept calling the Chargers San Diego, called Carson Wentz Carson Palmer and generally sucked Apparently they announced a sellout (27,000) and had tarps over large sections of seat because no one showed, except for Eagles fans. Goodell was in the audience. I f...

I'm not sure that the Giants are better off, not that I'm sold on Peterson

Yeah, seeing a lot of gloves come off now from more and more talking heads. Not sure if a tipping point has been reached. Sooo, are you saying maybe this is ... Nope. The tipping point I am referencing is the talking head class stopping the search for him pivoting to “presidential”. The president c...

Saquon Barkley was amazing again. Not so much rushing but he became the first B1G player to have a KO return for a TD and a passing TD in the same game.

Any of you watch Fauda? An Israeli series on a Shin Bet group operating on the West Bank that goes off the rails. If you can't handle subtitles don't bother. Very well done. The writers (one is the lead actor) have experience and knowledge of the subject.
filming season 2 now

I like board wargames too, but that forum is shot through with Trumpists Played a number of computer wargames and I get what you mean about that community; the average wargamer is a 60-year-old guy with a beard and clear-framed glasses who thinks Breitbart is "too liberal." Welcome. I am ...

Trump probably saw the penalty called and said that the refs are ruining football.
