The throwbacks are sweet (obviously) and the white jersey paired with orange pants are actually pretty cool. Everything else I could do without.

Also, the part the screams "fiction" to me is the dramatic smoking scene under a tree. That feels like a scene pulled from Good Will Hunting more than something that would happen in real life. In actuality, if this happened, they would just go and talk in someone's office.

Wow, I had no idea. Yeah, that definitely seems ridiculous. I don't blame you for feeling the way that you do!

G&D don't bother me as much as they bother others. It's not that I think they are brilliant or anything, they aren't. But, I have never gotten the impression that they believe they are or are trying to be. They facilitate - interview people, give their "sport fan" opinions on the local teams, etc. Maybe that's why it's never bothered me...they seem to have the same level of knowledge that I do... Sheehan has been my favorite in the area for a long time. He has generally held the same opinions as me, but he's much more informed and articulate than I am.

I don't tune in much, but I don't think the shows are all that bad. I've lived here for 40+ years and listened to sports radio for most of that time...I think Sheehan, Grant & Danny, Finley, etc. are all perfectly capable local sports guys.

That's fair and my wife and I aren't much different than that. A couple comments on this outlook though: 1) I don't think this is representative of the entire country, so we too might risk being tone deaf, and 2) Doing all of these things today costs far more than it did just a few years ago and results in less money leftover. I agree with you that too many people expect that they are entitled to too much even if they cannot afford it. That said, to me it's simply the comparison of what they could afford a few years ago vs. now. The same items (whether they were entitled to them or not) cost far too much compared to 3-5 years ago.

This is a good post. It comes off as tone deaf and insulting to tell people who are experiencing a problem that your metrics tell you they are wrong. Take another aspect of life other than personal finance. If you went to your doctor and said you were vomiting 3x per day...it would frustrate the **** out of you if they ran a couple tests and sent you home feeling nuts telling you that their tests told you that you shouldn't be feeling sick.

I love that the only context in that Tweet was the distance between Hawaii and The Vatican. hahahahhahahahhahaha what nuts.

Aren't these all steps that require trust of humans NOT to break rules or protocol? If a group truly wanted to know how you voted, they could trace it back by not discarding the envelope or not separating the section with the serial number... The same would be true online. Those elections and votes COULD be secure. Sure, if a group of bad actors wanted to go to great lengths to break rules and protocols to attach votes to people, I'm sure they could.

That ScarJo impression was great!

Those are fantastic - I really wish those aired here.

I think they are a lot closer to the same thing than you think...not in all cases, but in many of them. There are plenty of Republican voters who will vote Republican in the GE but were protesting Trump in the primaries.

Exactly. It's very similar to assuming that the 18-19% of Minnesota voters who chose "Uncommitted" are all not going to vote for Biden in November. Sure, a subset might stay home, a smaller subset might actually vote for Trump. But, most of those people will vote for Biden. That is the same on the Republican side (with different ratios). Some of those Haley voters will just not vote, some will vote for Biden, some might even vote for RFK or something...but many will vote for the Republican candidate.

That was a brilliant move on his part. Slimy and underhanded, but some good, old-fashioned politics.
