You can't make up a better sports headline if you tried. This has been a bad twelve months for Journalism. https://www.nbcsports.com/horse-racing/news/sovereignty-edges-journalism-to-win-151st-kentucky-derby-at-rain-soaked-churchill-downs Of course, the fight was muddy. ;)

https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/03/28/brothel-network-cambridge-charges As some important names are implicated, this seems to be getting some national attention. My thoughts are: These affluent Boston guys are stupid. Why not just take a short flight to Toronto or Montreal periodically? From...

Since Jim Acosta was the subject of his own threads over the years, I thought this was interesting. When he was a White House correspondent, he didn't seem happy just reporting. He wanted to be a part of the debate. I never really saw him as an anchor so I'm not surprised to see CNN wanted to...

I didn't initially know what to make of this letter from Jeff Bezos regarding the Washington Post. Clearly, he's explaining why the Washington Post is not endorsing a Presidential candidate. He's also saying the Washington Post has to become more credible and trustworthy. A cynical view is that...

The news of Spirit Airlines' mounting airlines and potential bankruptcy calls into question the Justice Department's objective of fighting mergers simply to fight consolidation. Airlines are capital intensive businesses which require scale to compete. Spirit cannot compete in an industry with so...

After seeing some beautiful Olympic athletes recently, I thought it was a good time to start this thread. I love hearing stories about the amorous adventures in the Olympic village every Olympics. To be young and in our prime again. To keep the thread pertinent to current events, please only...

Given the headline cases of recent years, I am interested in the membership's candid opinions on this matter. U.S. civil courts generally assess liability when a preponderance of the evidence is believed to be greater than 50%.

I saw this story this morning. On its face, it seems a bit bizarre. Liberal media isn't reporting on it, but it's early. If this is indeed true, it certainly seems newsworthy. If true, it also confirms that some in our government think they have political obligations to fulfill in their...

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/reviews/article-blackberry-movie-matt-johnson/ I'm looking forward to seeing this. Like many of us, I carried around a BlackBerry for several years. I always hoped they would continue to compete in the smartphone category. This film probably won't be a...

https://nypost.com/2022/05/17/si-swimsuit-cover-model-critic-jordan-peterson-quits-twitter/ I think he's right. We're celebrating obesity. This girl Yumi Nu will likely be a physical mess before she is forty. At first, I thought he should have kept quiet. Then I gradually moved to why should...

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/farrah-forke-dead-wings-actress-1235102955/ The very pretty and sexy Farrah Forke passed away at 54. I remember her very well.

These off-cycle elections are a great chance for the losing party to recalibrate their message and actions in advance of the mid-terms. It gives the moderates in the Democratic Party the opportunity to push back on the progressives. Bill Clinton was the master at recalibrating. So often though...

This topic has been bandied around on other threads. The debate comes down to those who are suspicious of efforts to quickly dismiss the lab leak theory versus the no proof of a lab leak crowd. It would seem that this Danish WHO expert has thrown more gasoline on the fire. In the end, Ben...

Joe Manchin was on with Fox News' Bret Baier and said he will not vote for packing the Supreme Court. He also will not vote for an end to the filibuster. He sounded very sincere. Manchin is not known for dramatic gestures. There's also a subtle strategy at play here. If he wants the Democrats...

How does one post a YouTube video in the new format? Obviously, you can simply post the hyperlink, but how does the Insert Video icon just above work? Thanks.

Just curious to see how people think the recent events will play out in the November election. I myself think it will help him slightly particularly in the battleground states. I think Minnesota might be in play. California and New York state could increase their margin for Democrats. Do me a...

I was enjoying the discussion then just like that it's gone.

I found this more interesting than simple polling on impeachment. Per Quinnipiac: "While voters are split on impeaching and removing Trump from office, 56 percent of voters still believe that members of Congress who support impeaching the president at this point are doing so more based on...

I'm curious what some of you think. I would particularly like to hear from those who have voiced strong opinions that current vetting practices are adequate. I just want to get your take. I'm not sure I can agree with Ilhan Omar. Having anti-American views on your social media might be reason...
