They could easily go 6-2 or even 7-1 at home (and 8-0 is not a huge stretch), and 6-2 on the road.

...and not just because of the bewbs in the preview image

But the bewbs helped, yeah?

I used to be 25 miles, and it would reliably take 80-90 minutes in the morning during the school year, an hour or so in the summer. The return home was almost always 10-15 minutes quicker, but I had multiple nights where accidents or road work bloated the trip to over two hours, and had a couple mem...

I have been enjoying reading Freddy's defense of the NRA's lobbying efforts, which can be distilled down to "They don't spend enough money to be that influential." While the ordinary tack when discussing something like campaign finance reform or Citizens United is to essentially say, "Capping electo...

Commentary from The Volokh Conspiracy: New ATF guidance on gun sales is legally meaningless (or else it would be unlawful) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/01/05/new-atf-guidance-on-gun-sales-is-legally-meaningless-or-else-it-would-be-unlawful/ In reading the text of th...

My Kimber Custom II is occupying the top spot in my safe. Won it on a $5 ticket at a gun bash

I remember you posting about that when it happened.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ridley's performance. My problem is with Rey the character. she's much farther ahead in TFA in terms of Force ability than Luke was at the end of ANH. Without any training, she mastered the Jedi mind trick, Force lightsaber pull thing (better than Kylo Ren, too) and went toe-to...

Has anyone mentioned or considered this? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-ostrower/rey-is-obi-wan-kenobis-granddaughter_b_8911656.html Could've sworn we discussed it here, but alas I can't find any posts. I like that theory much better than 'Rey Skywalker'. The writer sets forth a very convincing ...

I'm not willing to put it in front of Empire, because I think Ep V works as a dramatic narrative outside of the Star Wars universe much better. You could take that plot and transpose it into a completely different setting and it still works; even tho it cost 50% more than Ep IV, and visited more loc...

Just to be clear, it was not me who said "little lobbying power". The point is the NRA is no more powerful than any other lobbyist group in D.C. The idea they are some giant boogeyman that keeps the anti-gun crowd from winning the argument is silly. This is probably an artifact of my search history...

His speech today he was talking about the second amendment and something to the effect of, he knows what the 2A says, or he supports the 2A and said "Its right there on the paper." referring to the Constitution. I think he said it twice. Just stood out because this guy is famous for dancing around ...

Local reporting today is saying that only one stadium plan will be approved (which means two teams, max), and each proposal has at least 9 votes against it. (Meaning only one owner has to change their position on either for it to be approved, if I understand the rules.) One of the major hurdles to t...

Shorter drive than Pgh to Cleveland.

Rook, car trips here are measured solely by the amount of time that passes, not the mileage covered. I have a 40-minute commute each way, but I only go 12 miles. The trip between San Diego and Inglewood could easily be a three-hour affair, each way.

I think the ideal situation would be for the Rams and Chargers to come to L.A., and for the Raidahs to go to St Louis and take all that taxpayer money. One of the local radio guys floated an idea before Christmas that I thought was interesting: The NFL should build the stadium in L.A., waive the rel...

Man, 20 minutes wouldn't even get me out of my neighborhood during the school year.

There's a good way the House could stick that one to Obama. Approve the funding for 200 new agents, but with the restriction that the job positions created with that funding may only go to agents who spend 100% of their time reviewing and processing ATF Form 4, which is the form used to purchase/tr...

I'm not even sure if Caceres is still controlling, but what it basically means is that an Executive Order doesn't give people an added layer of insulation. Caceres is an oddball ruling that was sort of contradictory to the run of play the Court had established with regard to due process claims. The ...

Also....... was it the salmon mousse?

Huh.... my college roomate's boyfriend was CFR in the Marines, but that would've been a good ten years before your time.

Isn't there also some requirement relating to medical facilities within a certain distance from a 'K'-labeled airport?

From what I have read it is Chargers, Rams , Raiders in that order. San Diego is a lock.

Which is the inverse of the way fans here want it.

Thank @columbia; he posted an amazingribs article over at the old place about crappy sidebox smokers. That's how I first found them. The ChefSteps 'rib off' this summer was after.
