NYG @ Mia: Having lost 4 of their last 5 the Giants are sending notice to the rest of the NFC East that as far as the championship of the division is concerned, they’re in this for the long run. The Fins are responding with, “Playoffs?, Playoffs?” Literally dozens of fantasy wins are on the line tonight. Shall we watch? Yes we shall…

Is the politics gone yet?
Sweet! Just in time for some LOLphins fuckery!
This commercial featuring the random poor kids who act like they are football players got me thinking…it would kind of be cool if each team was required to have a small child play a child at a randomly decided position. All other rules normal.
Then the question comes…would you see a defense trying to get an easy sack on a 13 year old QB, risking the world seeing them kill a child? HELL YEAH!!!!
I’m just here for the gif induced seizures! And the drinking!

The original works soooo much better as a perpetual gif than any others. Example:

My prediction and stone cold lock for this game…

This is the emergency turkey dinner I made for my first Thanksgiving in the UK:
1 lb turkey cutlets, julienned
1 lb diced bacon or bulk sausage
2 large onions, diced
4 large celery stalks, diced, save the tops
1 can Stove Top stuffing mix
2 packets Knorr Turkey Gravy mix
Brown bacon/sausage in cast-iron skillet, do not drain. Add half the onion and celery, the celery tops, the gravy mix, 4 cups of water and 2 pints of good ale/bitter. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Let cool slightly and add the rest of the celery and onion and the stuffing mix. Let sit for 30 minutes then reheat in oven at 325 for 15 minutes, broiling the last 5. You’ll be amazed how good this is.
Fry the turkey with the bacon/sausage and drippings in between browning & adding the gravy stuff.
Since we’re getting political up in heeerre, can anyone explain Trump’s strategy? I’ve read various opinions ranging from 1) He’s trolling the electoral process and didn’t think he would get this far. He was simply trying to build the Trump brand. 2) He’s the next Hitler ushering in the New American Fascism. 3) everything in between.
Thoughts?
I have to agree with Weaslo. I think at first, he was just doing it for the hell of it. After it became clear his brand of, well whatever it is, actually gained traction, he decided, “hey, why the hell not?” and rolled with it. At that point, he really let out his real feelings, and that continued to work. To everyone, probably even his, surprise.
For the record, I’d LOVE to see a brokered convention. Maybe Redshirt will attend; it is in Cleveland, and give us a write-up of the mania.
I read something on TPM about how he didn;t really believe all the racism/fascism stuff he was spinning, it was just playing to the rubes (the analogy was Trump as Mussolini, much as the latter only adopted racism as the whole Nazification of Europe went down). Not that either had any PROBLEM with doing so, just that it wasn’t a real core belief, etc.
But with Trump, once something bears the “Trump brand” then by default it MUST be awesomesauce, so he starts to believe it, which is why he’s become more of a scary motherfucker than just a clownshow.
To Redshirt (and any others): You’re a Republican awash in a sea of us LIBRUL COMMIENAZZIS here. You pointed out below that the party continues to post candidates like Trump, Cruz, Santorum, Crazyeyes Bachmann, and Uzbekikikeckistan’s favorite pizza mogul, Herman Cain. How many electoral cycles do you see this continuing, before, as you said, a viable, electable, and seemingly less-unhinged Presidential candidate? I’m not being snide (for a change), I’m genuinely curious. The Tea Party seems to believe that winning House and Senate seats validates their ideology, but, gerrymandering helps with part of that. How many national races will it take, if ever?
Oh you think gerrymandering is a problem? What a liberal!

Ohio went to Obama in the last 2 elections (I think?) which means >50% of the state voted for him (I think?). Yet there are 3 (i think?) democratic congressional districts.

This post brought to you by an undying love of Dennis Kucinich, whose district was removed following the 2010 census when districts were redrawn by the republican controlled congress. He tried to impeach Cheney! Never forget!

Dear god this was the day from hell…
Woke up late for my shrink’s appointment. Scraped my rims on the curb in front of said shrink’s office. Discovered the site I have to drive to tomorrow for work is about an hour and a half further than I thought.
And my boss is riding in the car with me. 7 hours of travel tomorrow will be with my boss.
What’s despicable is all the “news” outlets running that story has a “haha look at how stupid people ars” story without doing any research or reporting on it. Just jokes about possibly crazy people. Some unsubstantiated things I heard about the rest of the story were:
The town already has solar farms nearby (in addition to the ones being built?) so people dont want any more. The building of solar farms doesnt bring permanent jobs to the area, nor any revenue from the energy produced. Apparently the town was rocked by a hurricane in 09 and hasn’t really recovered. The town would be in charge of maintaining the farms in some way? Or at least responding to emergencies, but the town would get minimal additional funding to provide these services and/or training about them.
Also, solar panels do suck up the sun’s rays, that is their only job, which can prevent photosynthesis. To plants directly underneath them. And possibly in the general vicinity.
And:
The issue was a zoning one, so the town didn’t want an industrial zone too close to the rest of the town, presumably commercial and residential.
A solar farm is probably a lengthy commitment/lease, so they would be stuck with it for ~20 years, preventing using the land for something else. Are solar panels still made with cadmium and heavy metals? So there might be cause for cleanup/waiting period even after the farm is gone.
I didn’t realize that Miami’s fan base was made up of Super Mutants, but this certainly explains a lot…

If they don’t win, he’s going to get himself a case and drink himself unconscious after the game.

Eli knows that if the Giants can pull off a win tonight, it’ll be “Gone Fishin’” for him.
