My mom's doctor told her that she needed to start taking Adalyn.

Who “gets it” on marginal taxation?  The usual suspects for explaining variation in policy knowledge are education, income, political interest, partisanship, union membership and political knowledge.

The data points directly at only one culprit.  You guessed it: party.  Democrats get it right and Republicans don’t.  The figure shows the details.  Democrats run about 25 percentage points more likely to get this answer right than Republicans (independents, not pictured, run 15 percentage points more likely to get it right than Republicans).

These people clearly do not have lake houses in Minnesota to worry about.

Do all the houses in your neighborhood have trampolines in their back yards? When I look out my back windows, I don't want to look at that crap.
Is your house beige

That's a VERY broad category! (Yes, it's beige.)

last 9 years or so on a loop would make for a pretty satisfying fan experience.

I'd say you're in luck.

I mean, he's already pretty much despised by many for sucking at his job.

My answer is that I couldn't really be madder. I'm actually not even mad, though. Just over him and want someone much better. Like, if he caves, I'll be like, "yeah, that figures."

Yeah, there's no way this kinda crap is going to be tolerated for weeks.

One called it the "blue flu," a reference to the blue shirts worn by transportation security officers who screen passengers and baggage at airport security checkpoints.

Best case scenario is to be kenpom ranked throughout the entire conference season and then not make the tournament. It's like peak unordinariness.

the ncaa tourney makes rock stars out of ordinary teams.

NOPE. DO NOT WANT.

Has anyone been keeping track of the being-kenpom-ranked-during-conference-season metric before now? This sorta looks like an extremely elaborate continuation of our practice of moving the bar for oscar year after year, which is pretty lol.

A team with 40s-ish rankings should be a pretty good bet to make the tournament. Making the tournament is good.

As has been reported, Trump doesn’t GAF. He’s happy to be able to spend as much as he wants without any liability. Which is what his private life couldn’t grant him.

I think he sincerely believes he's a genius at making tons of money both for himself in his private life and for the U.S. now. He's simply too stupid to realize that he's actually nothing but a giant eff up.

This has convinced me that we should definitely keep oscar.
