I was between keeping Taylor and Metcalf in my deep keeper league, Taylor should have been the easy keep, but here we are... buh bye Jonathan, you served me well but you aren't worth the cap space.

Haven't heard of it; usually Phoenix is a demo market for such things because we are a melting pot of expats from around the country. Anyway, sounds good, or at least worth trying. I like honey chicken, I like cheese sauce, not sure about the pimentos but mild jalapenos sound good as well.

Do you support Lia Thomas competing against females?

What I just read is that he put a moratorium on it (and other EOs) when entering office until they could get the lay of the land. This is supposedly common and makes sense, so I don't question it. The "lie" part is saying Trump opposed lowering prescription drug costs.

You aren't very good at the funny.

I exaggerate? When is the last time you saw Biden say something for more than 10 seconds that sounded confident and authoritative? Otherwise, your position is that Biden would win a debate because Vivek is batshit crazy? I certainly would expect a few trademark laughs from Biden when he doesn't have the words to respond. I'm sure the Leftist MSM would call that a debate win. Regarding climate change, I find Vivek's position puzzling on that. Strike that - not the position per se; here is what he said: Note that he said "agenda," not climate change. But that leaves open the MSM to run with the latter and low-intellect Leftists will lap it up. Not unlike long ago when Rush Limbaugh said that McNabb gets a pass from the press because he is black, which was changed to Rush thinks black QBs suck. So Vivek will have to do some damage control there. Mostly I wonder why he would even take that risk, given that the millenials and younger (which he needs to win) have been raised to fear climate change like the devil. This is an interesting read from WaPo, where usually Objectivity Dies in Darkness: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/08/25/vivek-ramaswamy-says-hoax-agenda-kills-more-people-than-climate-change/ But again, nuance is kryptonite to the Left, so they'll just run with "a bazillion died of climate change$#@!"

I chuckle at this - whenever KJP was asked how the "Inflation Reduction Act" reduces inflation, she would mention the lowering of Medicare drug costs. Because, you know, that's going to reduce inflation. Also Trump signed an EO lowering insulin costs, which I see listed there (Novolog) so that statement is a lie. Otherwise good post, good effort.

That entire division seems average; I could see every team with at least 7 wins and no more than 10. Detroit is supposed to be all that but my wife and her family are from there and so we know all too well that at some point, Lions gonna Lion.

Good point.

Fock! I've got him in my deep keeper league, and let's just say this puts a wrench into things. I can't justify the cap hit of keeping him now, and it kinda makes some trade proposals I've sent out of less value for me. The good news is, we have to select our keepers by midnight tomorrow, so at least I got this info before then.

That song was catchy. Also, I'd say they are very attractive but would agree that going down to 92 would be too skinny. But how tall are they? If they are 5'8", then a 5'4" girl would look the same and weigh in the low 90s. Also also, I was afraid they were underage but I googled and they range from 26-28 yrs old.

I say in my best "southern matriarch" voice: bless your heart. Vivek has incredible mental acuity. Biden, while obviously more experienced, can barely mumble words on a teleprompter at this point. It's like when you look at your wife and see the young beauty she once was: you look at Biden and see the aggressive, quick-witted bulldog who could bully a senate. Sorry but that guy is long gone.

Omicron at the latest; I can't see a way to justify calling it an emergency from then on. But you can argue earlier than Omicron, depending on your tolerance of fatalities. Once it was clear it mostly impacted the elderly and sick? Once we knew resources would not be overrun? Once we knew it was not an existential crisis? Also I forget if the vaxes were effective against transmission of Delta, if not then that might be the point where the need to mandate behaviors ended. But sure, to be conservative let's go with Omicron.

In AZ we used to be able to claim a financial hardship. I was in sales of large, complex equipment; I made a handful of sales per year, but they were bigly, so I claimed that I could be in a jury and miss out on a significant financial gain. Technically it was true, and it worked to get me off a few times, then they stopped sending them to me until... Fast forward about 20 years, and they changed it so that you need to get your company to vouch for your excuse, and my company said fock that. I actually had to go to the courthouse, but thankfully didn't even go into a selection room. I've never been in one. These days I have a laryngectomy so I'm pretty sure if I got called into a selection room I could gargle my way into an excusal.

Once they knew it was safe to implement the message I stated in the post your quoted: "hey look, the virus morphed, the vax no longer is needed for young and healthy but old and sick people can still benefit bigly. Oh, and go back to school."

Note that I specifically said "manipulate" the elections. I am NOT a Trumper, so my concern is that the election is being manipulated to ensure Trump wins the Republican nomination, because that scenario gives Biden his only chance of winning. Against Trump, Biden will decline all debates, citing some version of "I'm not demeaning the office by debating a felon whom I've already beat." The MSM will push this message hard, and you Lefties will lap it up like always. Could you imagine Biden on stage vs. Vivek? DeSantis? Any sentient being? He would get focking curb stomped. The alternative is the opposite, that like you said they are trying to destroy Trump before he gets the nomination, for the good of the country blah blah blah. I'm not buying that at this point; it's clear that the more Trump is persecuted, the more he gets support from the Right, so they can't possibly be so stupid as to think that a trial starting the day before Super Tuesday would hurt Trump.

Close, but I disagree with the "didn't communicate" part. That implies that they tried to communicate it, but did so poorly. Instead, they overtly chose to lie to the American people. What we do know that for a long time during their lie (1) Covid was not an emergency, and (2) it was unnecessary if not potentially harmful for young and healthy folks. Hell, pushing the vax on kids (and crippling their education/development) makes me want to club a baby seal. Perhaps you are correct that the American public is too stupid for a message of "hey look, the virus morphed, the vax no longer is needed for young and healthy but old and sick people can still benefit bigly. Oh, and go back to school." But the risk you run is... ... people have long memories when they are lied to like this. And unfortunately, the next time around, if it truly is an emergency, a whole lot of people are not going to trust the government, on vaxes or distancing or masking or shutdowns. I expect you will blame the dummies for not trusting the government, instead of the government for their history of lying about pandemics. But hey, the lying helped big pharma get more billions, and helped teacher unions to get paid to sit around in their pajamas while our kids' developments suffered, so they've got that going for them.

The day before Super Tuesday. Color me shocked. Are you leftists going to blue-pill your way through that coincidence as well? I would ask you if you at least understand why conservatives think the election is being manipulated, but I already know the answer. Tpump. Magaturd. Derp derp.

Love that scene!

Agreed on Marilyn. I thought about her, then thought she was from the 70s, but it seems she worked for decades. Insatiable was from 1980 and one of my favorite classic prons. Behind the Green Door of course as well.

I was always partial to Christy Canyon; she seemed to enjoy her work.

It is both simplistic and inaccurate, but typical of liberals, to equate support for (more failed) school funding with a desire for success. I just laid out my reasoning in the post you quoted, which perhaps you chose not to read, so I won't waste my time doing it again.

What does this mean? I'm one of those "school choice" people, it works to provide alternatives to a bad system and competition which helps to improve that bad system. You make it sound like devil worship.

Phew! This is a load off my mind!

Sigh. They had a plan, then they didn't have a plan: So, the plan was for an interim analysis. Then it wasn't. At the last minute. If you want to remove some/all of the blame from Pfizer directly and shift it to the FDA, and/or the potential slow-playing of the data reaching Pfizer, that's fine. I certainly don't know the folks there. By not even performing the analysis they had plausible deniability to say that they had no advance knowledge of the results. Which is of course true. To believe that this decision was made with no concern about the timing of the election takes a remarkable amount of gullibility.
