  1. I’m more interested in the publicity surrounding a blitz primary, anyway. Also a great way to vet VP choices. Otherwise, onto Harris and the unburdened of what has been.
  2. I just totally disagree and think house reps going public (for or against) is exactly what they should be doing. That‘s, coincidentally, representing the views of their constituents. They don’t work for the President, they work for us (and he does, too). Look, Candidate Biden is done. He isn’t getting younger and the right play is for the Democratic Party to put forward someone else, and public pressure needs to grow to get us there.
  3. What about that statement justifies calling her a cunt? Let’s reserve that sobriquet for Ted Cruz.
  4. I favor the James Clyburn "mini-primary" with something like 8 townhalls spread over 2 months. It energizes the Dems, helps allow a consensus to develop around a replacement (instead of anointing Harris, although I'm fine with that option, too), and will totally suck all of the media oxygen away from Trump.
  5. I would play Cabbage at first.
  6. I’d rather trade Chas and live with Loperfido’s contact issues.
  7. Haha, I just had a client who raved about Montevideo. All of the charms of Buenos Aires and the government isn’t nuts. As far as the OP, if I didn’t have little kids I’d live in San Diego or Coronado Island. The only places with better weather have other trade-offs (and there aren’t many).
  8. I don’t know why Hunter Biden would want him in the race. He basically had his DOJ deal torpedo’d because the GOP couldn’t impeach his Dad. I blame his small cadre of inner staff and elites like Schumer and Pelosi that aren’t willing to make more of a stand. Of course, all of this could be for show and he’s already decided to pull out but wants it to happen at an advantageous time, like during the GOP convention. You have to admit he getting 99% of the media attention at the moment.
  9. Obama going public bounces him. The real question is whether he move Biden in private.
  10. That Bulwark podcast interview with Ezra Klein someone posted upthread was pretty damning. It doesn’t appear that anyone who isn’t inner circle believes he should stay in the race.
  11. I actually think the Astros farm is reasonably well regarded amongst the teams and @Snake Diggity and @Wulaw Horn would likely echo that. It lacks the kind of well scouted, high end talent that tends to be an easy lay for Baseball America and their ilk, but teams have their own internal evaluations and there’s definitely major leaguers currently developing. Despite Luhnow’s absence, for example, they appear to be doing a pretty good job of developing the late arriving but solid big leaguers (at least for a few years) that was kind of the hallmark of those central division winning Cardinal teams. I think we tend to downplay the value of that because we’ve had studs like Correa, Springer, Bregman, and McCullars that were all top 50 prospects before they hit the majors and default into it’s the only way to do it. What might be more problematic is that we just don’t have any depth at all to deal from, which is why people like @Wulaw Horn pushed adding free agents in the off-season and making an outfielder or two superfluous. Our willingness to spend is potentially the last thing we have available to trade away. Also, Bowden sucks and no legitimate GM would ever tell him anything of merit.
  12. This; growth because the players themselves improve while adding on the margins is how Golden State won four championships in seven years.

    Worst controls since arcade Dragon’s Lair…
  14. McRaven couldn't outmaneuver opponents of a UT Houston campus.
  15. Forget how she was treated, Hillary is 76. I'd rather nominate someone who an actuary would predict to live two full 4 year terms.
  16. Haha, I tried Cuantos Tacos Saturday and it was $17 for 6 misc tacos (two were pastor). Clearly I’m paying hipster prices.
  17. Can any of you that follow this better speculate on how exposed we might be on the prospect side to the draft? I’m presuming the Westlake shortstop is gone and that Rodriguez is potentially his replacement, or is that overly presumptuous?
  18. This is so long ago to be almost irrelevant, but I spent a summer working on a dude ranch in Granby and bounced around all the nearby towns running chores or going out to eat/drink. Everyone is just grouchy there compared to Texas. Summer resort season tends to be a bunch of teenagers running things, anyway, but the locals are weird.
  19. I don’t recall which version of the script it was that I read (clearly not shooting) but a predecessor version made the pedophilia even more explicit. Huzzah to this
  20. Excuse me? Talk to Me came our last year and was a huge success for a horror movie.

    Mad Men

    Not the most compelling, but he probably has the most realized arc of all the main characters, at least in a traditional sense. @henrygandorfis about to lure me into a rewatch, particularly since I can’t get the wife onboard for Shogun.
  22. He’s doing remarkable considering he’s totally lost the ability to strike out batters and has been really lucky on balls in play. I’d DFA him.
  23. I bet Loperfido pitches an inning before this game is over.
  24. Worse case? Or best case?
