    I know we were all in agony upon seeing the "What if straight people had a pride parade" thread get deleted.

    The Bestest Songs About Your City

    Great song. I rewrote the lyrics to this last year and posted them here somewhere to bring it from the 1960s into the 2020s.

    The Bestest Songs About Your City

    Kid Rock - All Summer Long [Official Music Video] - YouTube Sweet Home Alabama is one of the greatest songs of all time, unfortunately, it's about Alabama. Kid Rock tweaked it to adapt to Michigan so props. I don't mind riding Skynyrd's coattails with a knockoff.

    My 2023 NFL Power Rankings Week 9

    Had I done this after MNF, Lions would stay where they are and the Raiders would drop considering their entire organization got fired and everybody is interim something or other. Maybe all the way to the bottom.... 32. Sight unseen, whoever has the Raiders on the schedule the next 2-3 weeks can probably pencil in a W right now.

    RIP Bobby Knight

    RIP Bobby. Great coach.
  6. Maybe Michigan State will come calling. Mike Valenti has been all over Detroit sports talk radio, regularly pleading the case for MSU to hire Urban Meyer. This would make his head explode.
  7. A few things give me hope. First, going forward, they won't be able to use COVID as an excuse to prevent observers from observing. The second is that we're aware of what shenanigans they (allegedly) pulled last time and won't be surprised, we know what to look out for and prepare to counter them. The third, some states, sadly not Michigan, enacted laws to counteract the worst of the (alleged) violations.
  8. This is an ongoing concern but since the 2022 election came and went with election observers not being harassed and with exponentially fewer allegations of fraud, maybe seeing a presidential election conducted like that will allow things to settle.

    Question about the draft/being drafted..

    Fragile snowflakes in safe spaces with no civics or sense of history/ national pride who like to apologize for living on stolen land. 1/6 are outright soft, candy-ass alphabet people. Another large chunk are BLM/Hamas sympathizers and/or Marxist. So a lot of focking worthless youth running around. Even among the ones that have their heads on straight without a mental condition, there's a lot of obesity.

    Ukraine - Doomsday

    Hasn't everybody, liberal or no, turned their attention to Israel/Palestine while pushing Ukraine to the background? Ukraine/Russia is stuck in a boring stalemate, while Israel/Palestine is the exciting new bauble with regular new tactics and moving pieces.

    Question about the draft/being drafted..

    I don't rightly know what the 18 y/o males of 2023 would do but they seem soft, effeminate, anti-American, and don't inspire much confidence.

    War in Israel

    I was down with Code Pink during the Iraq war and the post-Osama death phase of the Afghanistan War mostly because the US had troops on the ground refereeing a bunch of idiots wanting to kill them and each other. Between Ukraine and Israel, without US troops on the ground, I've been mostly supportive of the Biden approach... he had a prime opportunity to get high marks for pulling out of Afghanistan too had it been conducted in such a totally focked up way.

    War in Israel

    Threading the needle requires the Palestinians to get pissed off about trannies recruiting their kids and voting Republican and for Jews to realize their leftoid allies would as see them dead and vote Republican too. I'm not sure how it all goes together, it's a work in progress, but I do hope that any decent and reasonable people in those communities, together with reasonable people across all communities will consider it. No doubt Democrats will continue to maintain their stranglehold over all the angry and obnoxious terrorist sympathizers and self-loathing Jews as per usual. Obviously, the Democrats also have cornered the market on the violent criminal advocates, trans activists, and Marxists under their umbrella as well. Quite the coalition they have.

    They don't often give us stuff this obscure. I can count on one had the number of times I've come across a word that I didn't know (2 or 3)

    Jim Harbaugh: Yeah! We stole another little kid's bike! Me: Can we play somebody ranked in the top 75 please? Jim Harbaugh : Rutgers is ranked #47 Me:

    NCAA Football

    The games aren't interesting and when you're 8-0 and your toughest opponent was Rutgers, you haven't proven a damn thing. Plus they were caught cheating. Why in the fock you need to cheat to beat Mrs. Helbling's 3rd grade class, I have no idea, but it happens. This is my favorite team with what is billed as their best team in a long time but their games are boring and I just can't get into it. I'll tune in in a couple of weeks against Penn State.

    Ukraine - Doomsday

    It's a good sign, I don't see how/why Ukraine would accept those terms.

    Ukraine - Doomsday

    I know it seemed like a viable plan to me at the time. I hadn't seen this two year stalemate coming at all. I didn't realize Russia's military sucked ass so badly and apparently neither did Putin.

    Colorado Trial to Disqualify Trump from the Ballot

    I love how you beat the sensor with "chicken shirt". Good stuff. When I'm lazy (95% of the time), I put in an asterisk: sh*t. When I'm feeling particularly motivated, I can beat it using a trick going in and out of italics: shit. But chicken shirt is pretty awesome.
