This is what is wrong with the USA. Just basing your vote on the letter beside the name, without looking into what that person stands for. Yeah, a two party system that functions on fear mongering and nationalism. It's not on individual voters trying to dissect the differences between a bunch of bl...

Six months ago, I was firmly of the belief that Hillary would be the next POTUS, and there wasn't a whole lot anyone could do to stop it. Now, I'm only about 60% confident of that. I saw some article the other day about Clinton foundation donors and political favors, and it made me irritated that s...

Jose Tabata should be in a Pirates uniform tonight at PNC Park because he is far and away their best option to fill the vacant position-player slot on the roster, and spare me the nonsense about there not being room on the sacred 40-man roster. Tabata, a right-handed hitter, is batting .353 with a ...

You are definitely screwing yourself in old age if you aren't properly taking care of your teeth.

Gaucho, any thoughts on the dick diver album? In the least it has the most inverse relationship between band name and quality of the music. As for the rest of 2015. I think Kendrick Lamar and waxahatchee both delivered with solid albums. Aside from dick diver, viet cong is my favorite offering from ...

I get no grunge vibe from Barnett, her stuff is like art brut. All about the accent and the story telling lyrics

Definitely took a couple of years for NH to learn how to draft effectively.

BREAKING NEWS!

George Stephanapolous USED TO WORK IN THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. ABC, more like DNC.

Their BABIP (18th overall) aligns pretty well with their LD% (15th overall).

I don't know, I'm pretty sure the offensive metrics point mostly to guys needing to be better as opposed to bad luck.

Even general manager Jed Hoyer has openly wondered if seeing more pitches is as effective as it used to be. Getting to the middle of some bullpens -- Cubs pen aside -- isn't what it used to be. More teams are moving toward the Kansas City model where they can shorten the game by having middle guys ...

For as much as people talk about the middle class versus the 1% in terms of class warfare, there's absolutely a middle-class versus the poverty-line or thereabouts battle going on. You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays no...

A few weeks ago, I went on to my torrent site and picked out a bunch of audio books. But for whatever reason, only a few would show up on my itunes match. One of the ones that would play on my phone was Fountainhead. I had my reservations, but I got into it, and was definitely entertained. Well, at ...

Sarcastic, it's got nothing to do with "trickle down" that's a whole 'nother discussion. It's about wether or not the increase in the Top %1 comes at the expense of the rest of society. It doesn't. Are you saying that when Bill Gates made $100K his first year after founding MIcrosoft, that all of h...

I don't know of any examples of any actual "Randian" ideas that are actually in place. We are not even close to having any Von Misean or Hayekian structures in our current economy. It would certainly be better for all if either men's ideas were allowed to have a place rather than heavily regulated ...

I think the issue is a lot more complex than either side of the debate allows it go. Human nature is inclined more towards corruption in all instances, people cheat in capitalism and people cheat in centrally planned economies. Some segments of the populace are incapable of functioning in capitalism...

What the hell is Hoka Hey? I don't understand/remember it. The Pirates were using some sort of military training technique for kids in their farm system. I guess that was some slogan the brass would use in emails embracing the methodologies. I think Gregory Polanco sprained his ankle running barefo...

DK is probably the main reason I was turned off from Twitter. Rossi being a pathetic hack doesn't erase the history of DK's lunacy.

I guess the full list:
1. Super Troopers
2. Matrix
3. Willy Wonka
4. Star Wars trilogy (ESB if I'm forced to choose)
5. LOTR trilogy (TT if I'm forced to choose)

This is probably the most narrow "must see movies list"

You must be:

male between the ages of 12 and 15.

That Kingham news bit is bad news, Glasnow with ankle "discomfort" is no big deal. Went to the game last night, they seemed pretty disinterested and easily discouraged at the plate. I wonder if some of these guys read too many of the headlines going into the season. I think we were all waiting to se...

Anyone else seen this movie?

I knew nothing about it and only realized the Flight of the Concords relationship when I recognized Jemaine (not immediately).
