whoa, there bub. you just take it easy. time spent here is quality time for one and all.

"Smith, 47, had been scheduled to perform a pair of stand-up shows in Glendale, California, on Sunday, but canceled the second one when he started feeling ill and thankfully went to the hospital to get checked out." too much drakar noir in the audience.

it didn't even take that for me. i reached a point where only kraft mac 'n cheese was the one i liked. all others were very blah. since i'm no longer eating pasta, i dont really miss it.

welcome. you must be new here.

the next time bill plaschke says something interesting or accurate, it'll be the first time. what kind of chowderhead makes that kind of proclamation after one at bat in late february?

"The old saying goes, play good enough until the last out until also something goood happens to you."

who is the greek freak? and would trading ingram really be the right thing to do?

i miss hearing him say "Jeppy." GRich can maybe become Greppy. Ohtani can become Sheppy. Skaggs can become Skeppy. Heaney can become Heppy. etc.

there's absolutely no reason to think eppler is done. just because you don't hear the halos mentioned prominently in lots of rumors doesn't mean squat.

it's not too hard to tell which kids have been raised by at least one of their parents being home.

thanks for clarifying, jason.

please understand that i'm not saying i support this nomination. my point is only pointing out that this kind of appointment is not unique to this president. andrew jackson had his cabinet, but he also had a group of friends that would regularly meet in the WH kitchen to discuss issues and make decisions. it spurred the term 'kitchen cabinet'. each president during the majority of my lifetime has appointed friends for cabinet positions and to be advisors. this isn't something new and unique. trumpy would be better off leaving his family and friends out of this, imho, especially when you consider they have absolutely zero political experience.

my brother and i were talking about this issue this afternoon. we don't see eye to eye on all the details but we can talk respectfully about it. what we both agree on is that there are things that need to be done to start the process. the mentality we've all seen so much of is at both ends of the pendulum - either everyone has guns or no one can have guns. and we both feel that lawmakers are paralyzed in taking actions because of the money they accept and the fear of losing support. it seems like politicians view all of this as requiring that they hit a grand slam on the first attempt, but neither my brother or i feel that they should feel like the perfect solution is the only solution. this is a process that's going to take time and needs lots of compromise and input. it's not reasonable to try and remove all the guns, nor is it reasonable to continue to allow some types of weapons to be available to the public. the process needs to get started with some of the simpler things that are reasonable and will have bipartisan support. Jason's list has several good ideas and i'd like to see the process to implement many of them begin asap. the one i'd add is closing the gun show loophole that allows people to buy without a waiting period or background check or age requirement - there's no logic behind allowing this to continue as is. i'd also like to see the assault weapons ban reinstituted. it's going to require a refining of the definition of what constitutes an assault weapon, but this is something that needs attention.

good to see carter back in the lineup last night. we can use any offensive help he can provide. didn't see the end of the game. did you think brown's goal should have counted?

surprised this gem didn't bat signal anaheim bob over from the main board.

lots of chanting at ayton during his free throws. pretty good stuff by ducks fans. too bad arizona isn't playing at duke this season. the cameron crazies would be brilliant.

well done, sir.

absolutely agree.

i'll be honest, i was pretty concerned that north korea might try something shady during the games. glad everything went peacefully. 2020 summer games in tokyo. 2022 winter games in beijing, which will be the first city to host both the summer and winter games. good time to be in asia.

i went to whole foods market tonight. i did not see any "no guns allowed" signs. would i then be able to carry my weapon onto their property?

to the victor goes the spoils. this has been around since at least andrew jackson's presidency.

so what are your suggestions?

it's possible this is the last sign of the apocalypse. i hope NORAD is tracking giant meteor.

and i disagree with you. you're ignoring so much in this extremely complex issue.
