Experian has been running an obnoxious ad sub-titled Credit Swagger. It features a wife & her emasculated, hipster husband.. Cut to a loan officer's desk, where the wife rudely has her feet propped up on the bank employee's desk, dictating the terms of her impending loan. Her eunuch sits there...

I was reading about this in another forum.. Think a big component is the relative decline of the Canadiens. A franchise that piled up Cups decade after decade, has largely disappeared as a Cup contender for the past generation. If you're a 25 year old Montreal fan, who started watching hockey at...

I could be completely wrong, but I also think that's the play.. I'm not a fan of Biden, but I thought it was great strategy when Obama chose him for his ticket. There was probably a decent-sized (corn-filled) dingleberry of traditional blue-collar dinosaurs left in the Demon'cratic party in 08...

Cool story yesterday, a family that discovered a relative's collection of rare, vintage Cobb cards.. preliminary assessments put the Cobb cards at $1 million-plus: http://fortune.com/2016/03/03/ty-cobb-baseball-cards-million/ Regarding Cobb's attempted slander of Ruth. I don't believe there's...

Any thoughts on who would/might be a good partner on a Trump ticket.. I've seen Christie opening for Trump on the road. I personally don't see much strategic addition for possibly adding Christie to his ticket. They both are coming from the NY tri-state, and share similar personality traits...

Yeah, was just watching some of Romney's warning to Trump supporters. It's completely clueless advisement.. But I take into account it's source.. A gelded 2012 candidate who apologized for advocating in the interests of tax-paying, productive Americans.. on his way to getting routed by an...

Amen. And I don't think White Americans have a monopoly on that feeling. I think productive Americans of all races are feeling the devastation of illegal immigration. It was easy for large parts of the country to ignore it when it was concentrated in the SouthWest, and other isolated pockets...

Wanted to add another documentary for interested parties.. Netflix uploaded the Secrets of the Bible series. I've watched a couple episodes that I thought were good. It's more of a Biblical archaeology series, than about Faith.. It contains an episode I thought was interesting: Parting of the...

And Cruz & Rubio don't seem to get it. Their recent, combined attack strategy is to speculate on Trump's tax returns.. Nobody cares. The country has been experiencing catastrophic demographic changes, catastrophic fiscal irresponsibility, catastrophic moral decline etc.. And my opinion...

I re-read the article linked in DixieDestroyer's original post.. There's a poll attached, as of Feb 19 (several thousand votes cast), the opinion was 88% against the legislature's 'apology'. A lot of the column comments echoed the sentiment in our thread (ie- the governor has no moral authority...

For interested parties, this Sunday afternoon, 2/21, NBC will be broadcasting an outdoor NHL game from Minnesota (Blackhawks v. Wild). I'm appreciating how much use the Golden Gopher stadium is getting right now. I really liked seeing the Vikes outdoors,.. but I also don't have to sit out there...

I like considering the what-ifs of history.. But Delaware was actually offered Federally financed (thru Federal bonds), compensated emancipation, and they rejected it. Even as a Border State that stayed in the Union, they believed abolition was an internal State's Rights issue (a precedent...

Not sure how much weight an apology for something you didn't do carries, but.. I guess this is the political discourse cultural-Marxists have reduced Americans to.. Delaware has an interesting slavery history to me. It was a typical slave-holding Border State, that was divided by opinion on the...

I think it's a promising time for the NHL right now.. a good crop of young guys in the league. I'm watching Eichel, who is working hard & playing well (in a bad situation in Buffalo). He's a teenager, playing like a veteran. The league has a lot invested in the ceilings of Eichel & McDavid...

Been reading the Pens will return to their 8os Black & Yellow full time starting next season.. abandoning their 21st century color scheme of black & (subtler) Vegas gold.. Wondering if they'll bring back their mid 80s yellow jerseys as an alternate (?) It was supposedly the first 3rd...

Agreed, St Louis-area fans did nothing to deserve losing an NFL team. If anything, they were loyal to a fault. That's actually more what I'm addressing.. DWFs who still allow themselves to get jerked around by their 'hometeams', and/or blackmailed for stadium upgrades. Professional team movement...

Guess the speculation was reasonable.. Rams moving back to LA next season. But truth is, I don't think LA cares much. LA's still a Laker town, except when the Lakers are struggling, people temporarily jump on the Clippers band wagon.. There aren't many old time remnants left who are still...

Congrats to Ovechkin.. and he's admirably gaining ground in what you aptly describe as a dead puck era.. For years now, it's supposed to have been the year for the Caps, but they can never close in the playoffs. Great regular seasons are followed by disappointing post-seasons. Recently up 3...

I do like it.. On the back 9 of the season, Cousins has thrown 20 TDs to 3 picks. I'm watching the wrap up right now, stats were 365 yards & 4 TDs for his night. Good road win for Cousins & the Skins. But, the sadistic, petty sports media will also dwell on Cousins' mental error (w/his mistaken...

Foster Farms Bowl (UCLA-Nebraska) was a decent one. Nebraska gets the win, & in my opinion, has looked a helluva' lot better than a sub.500 team most of the year (including their win over arguably the best team in the country in Michigan ST). On the other side, thought Rosen played well for...

Don, I watched the documentary on McCartney. It was hard for me to watch.. McCartney is a proud advocate for God's grace, fair enough.. But that proselytizing seems neurotic, and deranged, at times. And like you stated, McCartney is a deeply pathological Caste Titan. A direct McCartney quote...

AJ McCarron came in to relieve an injured Dalton yesterday. For a back-up, coming in cold, against a stout rival.. I thought McCarron played well (280 yards, 2 TDS & 2 picks). Always thought McCarron's contributions were undervalued at Alabama, and believe he can be a big-time NFL QB. I'm...

True. And last night Palmer surpassed K. Warner's franchise record for single season passing TDs (& Palmer still has 3 games left to pad that record). Palmer in his mid 30s looks like he's at the peak of his professional career. It's cool to watch. He's in a good spot, w/a much better mentor in...

People advocating in defense of the Mississippi state flag design.. since there are universities in MS (including New Miss) who are now abandoning basic protocol of flying their (voter approved) state flag. https://www.facebook.com/msflag/

Congrats to Michigan St on their Big Ten championship.. I've been on the Sparty bandwagon for a couple seasons now. Dantonio seems to run a fair-minded program, and his teams are solid in big games. Classic comeback against Michigan this season, a win over (then #1) Ohio State.. beating a...
