I think the combination of heavy student debt, worthless degrees, and facing a generally bad job market definitely compelled Millennials to get involved supporting Bernie Sanders last year. But I feel, the day-in-day-out, youthful, cultural Marxism of the last 50 yrs is a lot deeper.. I read...

Yeah, I've encountered this ^ over & over. It's easy to have a social conscience, when all it involves is talking (and/or yelling). The folks doing the heavy lifting are usually quietly tithing to their churches, working in unsung administrative roles at charities, etc. It's a shame, cuz...

Ambrose, good post. My experience, Michigan seems the friendliest non-Southern state, to Southern culture. I've known a number of MI transplants, (and seen a lot of vehicles w/MI tags), that rock Confederate flags, Browning stickers & tattoos, etc. My opinion, rednecks are despised and demonized...

I checked out CBS' debut of Superior Donuts. I had grim expectations, but thought I'd give it a look since it features Peg Bundy in it's cast.. It was basically predictable, and crass. Predictable elements.. -a mandatory, hyper-diverse cast- a Muslim man, rich White girl, couple Black guys from...

DoubleD, I like it.. I can picture you rooting for the red-jersey'ed, Steve Bartkowski' Falcons. They were kinda cool. I was watching a clip on YouTube, of the Falcons when they still played outside at Fulton. Clip was probably circa 1981. You could see a couple guys waving Rebel flags in the...

Speed, appreciate your personal post & thoughts. I was stoked when I was reading about the new Pacific football minor league. I understand cultivating a meaningful NFL farm system will take time. But it will benefit both the players who don't desire a college education and wanna understandably...

Gotta mention George Washington.. selfless public service, courageously stood up to a global empire. Jefferson Davis, for similar reasons as Washington,.. when he was conscripted to lead the CSA Davis was in pretty bad health, but felt compelled by duty & honor to serve. Francis of Assisi...

Knight, if u come back in to this thread, please elaborate ^. I have a morbid curiosity about the psychology of these shmoes.. Is the prevailing theory, overbearing mothers, or something like that..

Smokey, I'm with you. Sanders said, 'because Edelman is a Caucasian receiver, he doesn't get the credit he deserves..' I submit that's the Caste Football ideology/mission statement perfectly distilled. I'm giving Sanders an Amen. And the reality is, Sanders has a much larger audience &...

(Didn't feel like linking it but..) Liberty Mutual insurance has a whole series of lame commercials.. different sets with astro turf park settings & the Statue of Liberty lurking on a background blue screen. There's one I'm seeing everyday now.. where an effeminate tool is sitting in the fake...

I'll take the honest, albeit inconsistent, opinions of Sanders & Irvin everyday. They're being human in my opinion.. some days they probably feel empathy for White players like Edelman who face racism in the NFL.. and some days they probably resent their unique success. I get those emotions. The...

John Mosby, arguably Lee's most effective guerilla, suffered a post-War fate similar to Longstreet. Following the War, Mosby allied himself with Grant & Republicans, and eventually became a Federal employee. Mosby's Virginia neighbors weren't really understanding. At one point he was shot at, (I...

Don, do you remember when the Thrashers were in their death throes they took the same approach. Toward the end they had Oduya, Evander Kane, Anthony Stewart, & Byfuglien on their roster. Atlanta's obviously a southeastern market, with southeastern demographics.. I got what they were trying to...

Commonwealth of Virginia still honors Lee & Jackson holiday on the Friday before MLK Monday.. Both men were certified giants in Virginia history & esteem until about the early 90s.. There's been so much Southern capitulation to cultural-Marxist pressure, even Richmond's former Museum of the...

HFBoards has a lot of active & knowledgeable threads strictly related to hockey.. But I agree with you, once you wonder in to their 'lounge' and peripheral subjects. It's pretty inane, light stuff. Favorite frozen pizzas, reviewing obscure alternative & hip-hop albums.. Mostly hipster type...

My opinion, this is the perfect approach to addressing primary issues within college football. I think the league will struggle, but it's model will eventually succeed. It would be a valve for guys who don't want to be forced in to the charade of 'student-athlete'. And it will alleviate the...

I'm really interested in historical fiction.. movies & books about African colonialism, etc.. and just plain Jungle sh*t to be honest. For that reason, I gave the recent The Legend of Tarzan a look.. my opinion, it was terrible. No drama, no tension, no one to really root for. It was a lame...

Agree. I remember when McCaffrey was a Heisman front runner.. Michael Wilbon (a Black sports writer), was one of the few public media figures suggesting McCaffrey would be unfairly overlooked as a White player (excelling in a predominately Black position). Wilbon honorably & succinctly summed...

Robinson Crusoe on Mars. (1964) Kind of a cool, campy movie. American astronaut gets stranded on Mars with a chimp.. and eventually a sympathetic, Mars-bound slave. There are some slow stretches, with very little dialog.. but it's interesting watching the astronaut adapt, reminded me of Tom...

Last night Jagr moved in to a tie for 2nd place in all-time NHL points. He's becoming the George Blanda of hockey. Jagr's running a really great marathon.. Couple more good years, Jagr will put some distance between himself and Messier.. but will still finish hundreds of points short of...

Recent holiday parade in Mechanicsville Virginia (a suburb northeast of Richmond).. Confederate flag advocates (& re-enactors) participating in the parade were warmly received. Some nice photos.. I travelled to & thru Mechanicsville many times back in the 90s. I always thought it was a cool...

Carlson has a great laser-like, Socratic style of debate.. He typically focuses in on a single misleading quote or concept from his guest, and then just puts his guest/opponent on the defensive the entire interview. He quickly highlights their dishonesty, or ignorance. Guess the problem is, he's...

I second all these programs. I would also add Stanford. Shaw seems like a fair-minded coach.. and Stanford has sent Luck and Kevin Hogan to the pros recently. Would be nice if Va Tech would recruit a big arm, pocket passer. Seems like for years they haven't been able to start a QB who is...

Any other Portlandia watchers ? I've watched first 5 seasons as they were rolled out on Netflix. They just uploaded season 6. It's inside jokes & satire on Portland's hipsters. I think it's funny, well-written, and has a cool intro instrumental. Some of the parodies they've come up with are...

I'm with ya.. I think Aikman is a pro in the booth, and a fair-minded analyst. I dumped my cable, so I didn't get a chance to see the documentary Don was referencing.. but insights into Aikman having an old-school professionalism & work ethic doesn't surprise me. I've heard Aikman talk about...
