I'm up in the Baltimore area where we have 105.7 the Fan....there's a caller...."Bob from Parkville". I've heard him calling into radio shows for a decade. Never has a good point. Never provides any value. Just inane ramblings of an old man. It's like it's a joke with the phone screener to make the hosts deal with him. By and large...i hate sports talk. The only sports talk i really enjoyed was the NFL channel on sirius (when i had a subscription).

My kid was part of the chorus that sang the national anthem last night. That was cool. Despite the lopsided score sheet...there was a lot of sloppy play -
Two officers were gunned down yesterday in Abingdon MD. Stealing this from a FB post.... Earlier today, law enforcement officers was dispatched to a call of an older, disheveled, apparently homeless, suspicious subject who was sitting in a restaurant without having ordered any food. The first deputy responding to the call reportedly approached the subject, and in an attempt to treat him with humanizing kindness and compassion, sat down to him and asked the man how his day was going. The man responded by putting a gun to the deputy's temple and pulling the trigger. He then proceeded outside, where he killed another responding deputy sheriff. For those of you who have not worn a badge, please remember this case. The next time you interact with a police officer (or Sheriff's deputy), the next time you witness someone else interacting with the cops, before you criticize the officer for not being as friendly as you think they should be, before you judge his or her demeanor as being cold, condescending, or excessively cautious, before you accuse them of overreacting or countering resistance or force with brutality, please remember this case. Because there's a good chance that officer does. There's a good chance they knew, remember, or heard about the deputy who was murdered in cold blood for simply being polite.

More power to you. I was lucky. Left college with only $8k in loans. Wife had "only" $14k. I hated having that monkey on my back.- 464 replies

Help! Defaulted Student Loans (and other debt fun)

Are the interest rates the same on all the repayment options? If so, chose option 2, pay as if you were paying option 1. Then, if something bad happens, you arentnup the creek at much. *disclaimer... I'm drunk- 464 replies

Dave Ramsey offers a lot of good advice. With the Exception of Debt Snowballing. That's simply a feel good measure for people who feel bad about their situation. Your first order of business should be paying off which ever debt is costing you the most. Which means going after loans with the highest APR first.- 464 replies

The immigration thread: American Melting Pot or Get off my Lawn
rictus58 replied to Burgold's topic in The Tailgate
did you not get the memo? It's perfectly ok to believe all Muslims are terrorists based upon a small sample size. . It's not ok to think all Cops are bad based on a small sample size. i've never seen a group of people so willingly embrace their hypocrisy. -

rictus58 replied to Burgold's topic in The Tailgate
It does. No doubt. You're turning your back on one of the key tennants of the faith. If the left had any balls, they'd use this as an opportunity to hold the Rights feet to the fire and put forth bills to help the poor, the homeless, and the veterans. Make the right put their money where there mouth it. -

that's not true. Poor and homeless VETERANS. Everyone else is still a freeloader who needs to pick themselves up by the bootstraps. -

I love love love how the right is rallying around the veterans now. It's like they got their cheat sheet all at the same time ala duke basketball fans. -

I had some Sunday. Didn't like. Too much like Cough Syrup. But hey. We've all got different tastes. That's why there's so many delicious beers to choose from.

I do believe archangel will be in the new xmen movie. I'll see it for that alone -
On more than one occassion last year, I drank far too many of them at an O's game. Each time I ended up around the toilet later in the night. Each time got a lecture from the wife. It's a tastey beer. I can't help if it makes me want more.

So Apparently, Oliva Munn has signed on to play Psylocke in the next Xmen movie. Can't wait to see her butcher an English accent. http://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/olivia-munn-psylocke-x-men-apocalypse/ -

Going Clear (the HBO Doc about Scientology). Really worth watching. Kept my attention (which is hard to do). -
Whatever you do, don't hire a Russian. They'll install a dashboard cam, then wreck the car on the purpose.
