My wife is currently explaining the difference between ice dancing and figure skating to me. Yeah you can say we like to party on Saturday night.

The moment was Covid. It happened. Almost every journalist in the nation failed to relay reliable information, instead succumbing to panic and the widest-spread daily curtailment of civil liberties in my lifetime. The rare figures who didn't were silenced or stifled or removed.
Every single word of this fantastic column by @Peggynoonannyc ‘I fear sometimes that few people really care about journalism, but we are dead without it. Someday something bad will happen, something terrible on a national scale, and the thing we’ll need most, literally to

There's something incredibly sinister in employing yourself in a field where you aim to put as many people into dangerous situations as possible so that if something happens you get a recruiting boost. Don't die so these insurrectionist losers can get a bigger paycheck.
I joined an ICE watch training held by Defend the 612 organizers in Minneapolis on January 8, before they began taking additional steps to conceal their identities and activities. In the training, organizers described their goal as impeding ICE operations. They downplayed risks,

A preacher friend of mine used to say “If you’re not meeting the devil head on from time to time, you might ought to consider which direction you’re going.”

Haha they'll call people Nazis while running a Gestapo style operation. Minneapolis has totally lost the plot.
As chaotic demonstrations continue in Minneapolis, a New York Times dispatch reveals, perhaps unintentionally, how left-wing activist networks are fanning the flames by harassing ICE agents. “Earlier that day, outside a church that was distributing aid, I overheard a young man

Just got pushed a public opinion poll via text here in Iowa that was oriented toward an RFK campaign for President. No thanks. Unpopular opinion: our politics needs to become a lot more boring and cast off all identity focused and single issue candidates.

You guys have to decide if drug companies are trying to hook us on opioids or pharmacies are denying us needed pain relief now that these pills are more restricted. Let me know what your decide.
Patient presents to Las Vegas ER with acutely herniated disc crushing the spinal cord. Officious retail pharmacist allegedly refuses to fill opioid pain medication prescribed by ER MD. Patient suffers in unimaginable agony for two weeks until admitted to hospital. Yes, we will be

Wakes up. Happy to leave 2025 behind. "New year, new me." One hour later I have a broken PTO cable on the feed truck, silo unloader arm fell in, and a broken water pipe under cattle waterer. There's always 2027.

With Notre Dame chickening out and refusing to play BYU in the Pop Tarts Bowl I don't EVER want to see another ND fan in my comments or timeline telling me how much they would dominate BYU. You had your chance, and you took your ball and went home. Cowardice.

I said earlier today that for a national CFB media person, today was a great day because you finally would get to see Matt Campbell leaving Ames which you've predicted 11 out of 5 times before this. Congratulations! You're no longer a failure on that.
It's an emotional time so I will not be quote-tweeting all the tweets I bookmarked from Iowa State fans (and even some from Iowa!) who said mean things to me about how Matt Campbell would never leave Ames. #GoodGuyTom

The thing they don't tell you about waterproof insulated winter gloves when you buy them is that they will still get wet, just from the inside out.
