What was up with that? Turn to your local CBS affiliate? All but Vegas and Seattle had no football on their affiliate. If you’re going to screw me out of the game, just say so.

Currently I am part of a group that pools resources to provide universal health care, shelter, food, education, leisure activities, clothing. It strikes me as quite socialist. Seems to be successful but there is a tendency toward authoritarianism in this set up with two members of the collective...

I think you may want to make sure understand the wiring issue here. The common way to add a ground to a two prong plug in an older house is to run a copper wire to the metal box holding the plug. The metal conduit provides a link back to the panel. I have never heard of attaching the ground to...

Not generally a Hillary fan but can you watch this and think, I'd really rather have Ben Carson or Trump doing this geopolitical stuff?

I believe it provides the right to engage in a hobby.

Isn't this exactly the situation that alimony was designed for?

I would think it would difficult to bring an experienced manager like Bud Black and not give him the ability to hire or have input on coaches. Sorry to see quality guys McCatty and Knorr go but I would imagine the new guy will want his own pitching and bench coach. Bo Porter was apparently a nut...

The downside--worst time I ever had at Nats Park (and I was there for the whole 18 inning NLDS game). Upside--plenty of fans stayed past the 7th to boo Matt Williams at the press conference. Harper should be happy about that.

I was at the game Friday night and surprised by the number of empty seats (game of the year by the way). They draw very well in summer, especially on weekends, but when school starts everything changes, including people leaving early. This team as been very difficult to watch this year. Lots of...

I hope you are not a skins fan.

Not only should we eliminate participation trophies but we should also create a committee to review whether any "winners" trophy are procured in a properly competitive league. If your youth league doesn't have the proper level of competition, no trophy for you. I can think nothing worse than...

My theory is that #1 does not really exist as it is the product of pushing organized competitive sports to younger kids, where the everyone get a trophy thing makes some sense. By the time they hit 9 or 10 you can't fool them into thinking some participation trinket is as good as a championship...

Wife and daughter went to the show last night in DC. From what they told me, at least she is doing the stadium thing right. Good opening acts, she performed for 2 hours, big stage with long extension into the field and huge screens, catwalk rising into the air, fireworks, everyone in audience...

We could also just grow the economy, like a consumer who starts to make a lot of money. The most important question about debt, tax policy, government spending, regulation, immigration or anything else the government is involved with is not whether there should be more or less of any of it. It...

I thought it was going to be us in 5 years (at least that is what 2010 tea party winners told us). Glad Obama has been able to put this off till 2035. Should I slow my rate of gold purchases now that we are good for a couple of decades?
