    And for a woeful P.S. from ESPN: "After starting the season 2-0 in beating the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints on the road, the Bucs had a 98% chance of making the playoffs and a 93% chance of winning the division, according to FPI. After losing to the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, their Week 5 win over the Atlanta Falcons gave them a 97% chance of making the playoffs and a 94% chance of winning the division. But after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers on the road, they’re now at a 67% chance of making the playoffs with a 61% chance of winning the division." GO BUCS.

    I realise that the op-ed is satire, but it also belies an inferiority complex that, in my opinion, is unwarranted. The National Post is not a bad paper - it is not a tabloid. It is a small c conservative newspaper that is, for the most part, factually accurate in its reporting. It’s counterpart in the UK would be The Daily Telegraph. On an equal footing with Globe and Mail, The National Post is indisputably a nationally recognised and credible English language news source. Like the Globe and Mail it serves a demographic that is more often than not, university educated with professional credentials and/or in management positions corporately and in public service. One might even say it is popular among the nation’s Anglophone elite.

    Biden was never anything but a placeholder. Both parties should be out scouring the streets for acceptable candidates. Not saying exciting, not even saying above average; just people -- men -- who are marginally competent, who we the people can freaking live with. For a change.

    @George-K said in No shows...: The horror! LOL Maybe it is like the President Nixon/President Kennedy debate I read about. People who listened on the radio were pretty sure President Nixon won. Those who watched on TV picked President Kennedy for the win. Maybe a case of "style over substance"? LOL

    @Rainman said in Fauxahontas 2.0: John Wayne had to be physically restrained? Her conclusion, after considerable reporting and research, is: “Never happened.” Rather, she says, the story began as an exaggerated yarn that Oscar telecast director Marty Pasetta started telling interviewers a year or so after the fact “that got more exciting each time it was told” until it became “a persistent urban legend.” https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-08-23/column-did-john-wayne-try-to-assault-sacheen-littlefeather-at-the-1973-oscars-debunking-a-hollywood-myth

    Don’t have any of these products other than the tried and true Pinesol around the house. If I did though I would still be inclined to use the recalled products adding a half half cup of diesel to the bottle and a good shake before using.

    Wow, lots of legends in their early 90s. Which means we're due for a few years of "wow, can't believe they were still alive, RIP". Didn't realize Gene Hackman was the same age as Clint.
