But not Gays, so it's not all that bad.

10 missing, 5 injured after USS John S. McCain collides with tanker in Pacific

One of the others wasn't his fault either,) but the point is he crashed multiple aircraft. Extremely rare for a military aviator to continue flying after he crashes once--they almost never give second chances, much less third.

But, if you father is an admiral, and your grandfather is an admiral, you fighter pilot career continues. So, John S. McCain III crashed four times.

The USS John S. McCain, a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, (double irony) is named for both Admiral John S. McCain Sr. and Admiral John S. McCain Jr, grandpappy and pappy.

The Vatican secretary of state is urging law enforcement agencies, governments and social media sites to take responsibility to protect children from online sexual abuse, even as one of his diplomats is caught up in a child porn investigation…

Parolin urged participants to “regain control of the development of the digital world” to make sure children are protected, saying companies that promote and drive the digital world have a particular responsibility.

“This congress must take responsibility for those minors at the world’s ‘peripheries’ of which Pope Francis continually speaks,” Parolin said. “(They) are the preferred target of networks of exploitation and of organized online violence.”

It would have been easy for him to back down from two of the league's most powerful owners, but to his credit he hasn't even at the obvious potential cost it has made to his job.

At the same time, there are 31 other billionaires waiting to shit on him for "playing favorites" if he does roll over on something like that, so there is an element of "safety in numbers" to it.

And with Jones, I imagine there are many owners privately happy any time he doesn't get his way.

True and I only said some respect, but in both the Brady case and Elliott I expected the league (i.e. Goodell) to capitulate and seriously reduce the suspension which he probably could have gotten away with politically (within his membership), but he hasn't either time.

That'll teach them for not giving writers a piece of the merch action.

Pruitt, I hate to criticize your work, but that line was so trite and cliche.
