I’m not disagreeing that most people are poor money managers. However, the discussion is far more complicated than the “if they just gave up their phones, they could afford health insurance” soundbite that the GOP is pushing right now. It reminds me of this:

The best quote I read in response to Chaffetz’ moronic iPhone comments yesterday, “6 days in the ICU cost my family 317 iPhones”.

I will fully agree with him that if someone has the option of paying $100 for an iPhone or $100 for health care and chooses the iPhone, then that person makes horrible decisions. The problem, however, is that:

I simultaneously love and hate hearing this sort of thing. Obviously, the praise for our players at the national level is fantastic.

But if we’re that “underrated” why can we never seem to break throug and win the South, even when it’s pretty much handed to us on a silver platter (like last year)?

Need more info. Is this showing which sport people prefer playing? Prefer watching? Want their kids playing? Enjoy attending?

If a warrant was turned down but they did it anyways, it would likely be the biggest scandal in he history of the POTUS. If it’s between that option or the fact that Trump is simply making crap up again (as is his established pattern), my money is on Trump being the liar he is proven to be.

But mostly, I can’t help but wonder what the yuge…[Read more]

Likely NCAA tourney bid? Not unless we win the P12 tournament.

And now our tax dollars are going to be spent to investigate Breitbart bullshit. Awesome.

I think Cal losing seals the 4 seed for Utah.

As I understood it, the only scenario where we didn’t get the 4 is if Cal won and we lost.

You’re correct, that was a bad choice of words on my part.

I read his book “The Bell Curve” ages ago, and was very turned off by his underlying assertion that white people are genetically superior to black people in regards to overall intelligence. Especially given the specious and misleading data it provided to support that assertion.

“Controversial and perhaps difficult”? That’s certainly an…interesting way to describe white nationalism. That’s probably a topic for another time though.

I don’t have much issue with the students turning their backs en masse and chanting over his speech, but I do agree with you that the ensuing violence was completely unacceptable.

It’s also what bugs me the most about this whole episode.

1. Mark Levin muses/imagines Obama bugged Trump tower.
2. Breitbart reports that as “news”.
3. It gets repeated as “fact” by the POTUS.

That’s a rather disturbing chain to follow.

And while this instance isn’t like to ultimately have any significant impact (outside of Trump looking…[Read more]

Agreed, and I didn’t mean to imply this is solely a conservative phenomenon.

It’s just interesting to see it employed so brazenly this morning.

This article (from the co-chair of the Hoover Institution’s Working Group on National Security, Technology, and Law) had 10 very good questions for Trump regarding his claim.

1. Are you making the allegation that President Obama conducted electronic surveillance of Trump Tower in your capacity as President of the United States based on…

Thanks for the insight Shasta. Good to know that everyone wasn’t suddenly abducted by aliens at 3:00 on a random February Tuesday.

Trump is employing the exact same strategy we’ve been laughing at Zoobs using for years now.

1. Completely fabricate or greatly embellish a claim about the other side. The more outrageous, the better. Zoobs = pushing old ladies in wheelchairs down the stairs at RES, Trump = Obama tapped my phones.
2. Since your supporters are pre-programmed…[Read more]
