  1. Holy shit that’s the kind of play call that should get Klein fired.
  2. SCOTUS: Line item vetos are unconstitutional. Trump: What if we call it a pocket rescission? SCOTUS: Sounds good, no real need to discuss further.
  3. SecWar is like Scheisskopf in Catch-22 who is completely obsessed with parade regulations. Damn things are bleak.
  4. In a previous life I worked indirectly on one of these. Forecasting is fraught with avenues to look stupid, and these usually avoided them which is an accomplishment. Intelligence isnt meant to align with policy, it’s too bad we didn’t let the Soviets teach us that. Worth skimming the 2008 “Global Trends 2025” version. Check the pandemic bit! https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/Global Trends_2025 Report.pdf
  5. The thing about dictatorships is they’re all so much dumber than they look from the outside.
  6. Lol. Sorry for the self-quote but the truth is not that far off from this. LULZ. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/26/hegseth-meeting-details-00582791
  7. Question for Bateshorn, has there ever been a shutdown that a party or admin thinks they “won”. My recollections are usually that everyone regrets it and that the exits are harder to identify and bring fewer benefits than the drawbacks to all.
  8. Good idea, bleh execution. I am a WWII aviation fan and leaning into the P-40 Warhawk angle is cool. But they use an actual hawk on all their other branding. The mascot was chosen to honor Chennault so why not make that the primary focus? The shark mouth is cool but it’s itching to be the helmet mark, not a sleeve. It is one of the most iconic WWII era symbols and should have pride of place. Move the Louisiana with the roundel to the sleeve. The roundel in the middle of the jersey is odd. Why not use the Flying Tigers’ actual squadron symbol if you’re doing this tribute instead of the roundel? Walt Disney did this for the squadron. Gray sucks. Go with the airplane’s actual olive drab if you’re not doing school colors.
  9. I tend to agree that it’s time to give the people what they voted for. It’s going to be a hard sell to constituent supporters.
  10. Well, Russ Voight has told agencies to use this as a chance to do mass layoffs. It will be bad for any fed, but worse for others. The politics are one thing but the admin is deeply prepared to do real harm to actual people and the economy, which will be a calculus for many Ds who still see politics as the means not the end. Do the Dems have a Siberia to fall back to?
  11. Muscle Shoals
  12. They also considered “Bhryghlinneh.”
  13. Let’s give our previous act a hand, folks. No, really, we’ve got plenty lying around!
  14. Take my wives, please!
  15. “Brilyn” is a tragediegh of a name.
  16. Paydirt Pete is great. I do also like the pickaxe as the T in “UTEP” and the single pickaxe. UTEP has some great and unique stuff to work with; and should completely ditch the modern miner mark that just looks like a cowboy. The baby blue is so great, much better and eye catching than the navy. Kind of the inverse of the classic Gulf racing livery. I welcome all moves back to brighter colors and away from muddy tones and shades of gray/white. It’s just much nicer to see colors and contrast on the field. That’s part of why the Cardinals stuff sucks, just a bunch of muted “desert tones.” The AZ flag is great and iconic because of the colors and they took them all out.
  17. Oh, whatever. He’s a bad guy and should be in jail, does it matter what reason is written on the paper? I am a serious libertarian.
  18. We must stand against any rhetoric that encourages political violence. Except for calling to execute teacher union leadership, that’s just some funnin’. Goofin’. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-nominee-jeremy-carl-demanded-political-opponents-death-before-tweet-purge/
  19. I approve of this.
  20. This is one of the great weekends of college football this season. I think the fighting Kiffins beat LSU. My pick for most likely upset, followed by Oregon over PSU although that’s not much of an upset TBH.
  21. Israel is in the European qualifying region and has never made it to a WC since moving into that region in the 1970s. Vanishingly small chance Israel qualifies. It’s just posture from the Euros, Spain and Portugal will not boycott a WC.
  22. Non-zero chance this will be an awards ceremony for the Indian Wars and potentially unveiling of throwback uniforms.
  23. We’re attaining incredible advances in principled libertarianism and hostility to government abuse of power in these latter days.
  24. I love how this is called a blunder and how CBS just repeats that and assures us that people investigating to see how it happened. That’s the good shit, that’s the straight Putinst dope right into my veins. In 2026 we will be investigating tragic window accidents.
