But if they did that more frequently wouldn't their opponents respond in some fashion? (I don't know.)

Yesterday's performance changed my thinking though. I thought 100 was like 56 or 2632. Now I'm not at all sure. I think 100 could be broken, with the way NBA scoring has taken off.

That makes the 100-pt performance particularly insane. Not a single three (of course), other than an "and one."

RIP to Country Joe McDonald, who named his first child "Seven." And now I have to know if that was somehow the inspiration for the Seinfeld episode about that name.

What is Cooper's position?

I agree. And I agree that this reporting confirmed more details about the victim's interactions with Epstein. I just didn't see confirmation of any details about the very serious allegations against Trump that hadn't already been reported. Again, maybe I missed something.

What about Schwarber's HR yesterday?

Israelis back war with Iran despite uncertainty and fatigue Israelis broadly support the US-Israeli military campaign with Iran, even if they are tired of air raid alerts and constant upheaval.

Some Israelis are protesting the war, but reporting I've seen shows broad support in Israel for the war. See, for instance, www.bbc.com/news/article...

How does this story further verify the portion of the accuser's statements about Trump? Maybe it does. I'm just curious to hear others' take on it.

Is the second paragraph inaccurate?

James Carville: I Got Trump Derangement Syndrome YouTube video by Politicon

Perhaps the greatest rant ever.

James Carville defends, praises, and embraces, and elaborates on Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The Marx reference is well more peripheral than the Hayek stuff.

Okay. That's admirable.

Okay. Her skepticism about the prowess of Philly sports teams is my fault? I can accept that.

Thanks for engaging. She knew the answer couldn't be "yes." We can agree to disagree. Thanks again.

Right. I agree. And my point is that non-lawyers can be right about things that judges are wrong about. The prisoner-non-lawyer clients whom I represent are frequently right about things that judges are wrong about.

What makes only MLB games (and only some of them) meaningful?

The problem is that Noem's agency is breaking the law, not that Noem does not have a law degree. It's an odd point.

Well, it's short. It has that going for it.

Yes, favoring birthright citizen as policy or law is non-"neutral." And therefore?

So, we should not like Cruz because of what he looks like? That sounds like Trump.

But don't real historians disagree all the time on real historical analysis?

I don't see it as a personal failing of anyone, including myself. Obama had what you're referring to--but he had other key attributes too, such as knowledge, seriousness, depth of character. People that I knew liked F *only* for his style/attractiveness/etc.

The lesson for me--about which others might disagree--is that I should have discounted the policy-preferences point somewhat, & I may in the future. That *might* have moved me in the Lamb corner if I were still a Pa. voter. I should have figured in what I observed: F's relative lack of seriousness.

That may well be, but it sounds like a bit of an excuse for other people's behavior.

It *is* fantastic. But you've probably listened to it many times (and will again). Listen to this variant, which blew me away:

the primary b/c I thought him the candidate whose expressed views I liked best. Yet in every interview I found him somewhat uninformed, at times even shallow. Not unprincipled, but not serious enough to have thought through what he believes. I'm embarrassed now to admit it. Lesson learned perhaps.

Some people I know supported Fetterman b/c they viewed him as *cool* (even attractive in his own way). The whole thing about his appearance and disregard for convention. I thought then (and now) that that's a very poor reason to support a candidate (or elected official). But I wanted him to win ...
