  1. He could have Ronald McDonald, or JoJo the idiot circus boy heading up the lawsuits now because the job is done. 80% of his voters don't believe Biden legitimately won.
  2. I like how Fox News is desperately trying to erect some sort of containment fence around their pandora's box, realizing that destroying voter confidence for a totally lost cause will make it impossible for a Republican President, and possibly congressional majorities to ever be elected again (in a fair election). Also seems like Democrats are playing along to some degree knowing that many Republicans are obligated to go along with it until the last hour. Just seems like a wildly irresponsible and dangerous game that will make our country, which has been bumbling along from one crisis to the next since 2001, even more difficult to govern.
  3. Careful what you wish for. My top post-election fear is that Trump, feeling betrayed by Fox, and banned on mainstream social media, will launch his own TV channel and social media platform that gathers everything horrible to the Eye of Sauron to marshal a level of depravity that we cannot yet imagine.
  4. I voted 2009 Iowa State because I was there, and seated next to some really annoying ISU fans. There are plenty of bad games to choose come, but watching us barely lose to a horrible team for no reason at all, even with eight turnovers, was easily the most agonizing experience I've had at a Husker game. I was actually thinking about that game the other day when I saw that Niles Paul is somehow still in the league. IIRC he was responsible for about half those turnovers.
  5. Our grandchildren will probably just murder us all. I'm not joking either; if it came down to a choice between huge the cost of dealing with climate change, and the huge cost of caring for old people (that failed to do anything about climate change), I think future generations would be right to choose the former over the later.
  6. Plot twist, it's bottled in Mexico.
  7. The Northerner remembers...but yeah, could do without the whole hipster thing. Pretty sure Randy's Grill @ 48th & Holdredge is Coop's Corner now too. The tastees do not live up to the hype either.

  9. Are you insinuating that people, including politicians, make things up because their audience doesn't know the facts, and there's little repercussion? I suppose next you're going to say that it's some sort of scare tactic to fan fears and prejudices.
  10. I made jokes every year about the Foster Farms bowl when with was the Kraft Fight Hunger bowl, now here we are, and it looks like that would probably be the best possible outcome. Going to a bowl @ 5-7 is a bit of a joke if it comes to that, but those extra practices matter a lot. The practices last year were probably completely wasted with lame duck coaches, and Bo's exit shenanigans with the players.
  11. The man being interviewed (Philip Van Cleave) is a perfect caricature of what I imagine the no, no, no brigade is whenever this topic comes up.
  12. If he's falling on a sword to prevent another pointless government shutdown, I can at least respect that. Seemed like Boehner wanted to do big things like compromise on long term solutions to entitlement spending and debt, but was completely incapacitated by a caucus that has no concept of compromise.
  13. Kasich and Graham are both fairly moderate on economic issues, but neither have a chance of being nominated.
  14. Completely random question, but it's been bubbling in my head every since these two stations opened in Lincoln (84th & Leighton, 27th & O). How are they able to consistently undercut every other gas station in the city? For instance, right now they are selling 87 octane for 2.12, which is 14 cents less than even Sam's club. Do they pretty much sell fuel at break even, or even a narrow loss, then make their money on the convenience store and car washes? I've never really understood the economics of selling gas.
  15. It's my understanding that Lincoln actually has one of the highest, if not the highest refugee per capita population in the nation. I guess it's fair to say the part of town that population is concentrated in is the worst, but it's better than the bad areas of most cities. I don't even understand our immigration policy. Seems to amount to we'll take educated professionals that will work for less than Americans with open arms, and we'll take illegal unskilled labor with a very two faced attitude. That is, we need you, but we don't want you here, and being an illegal manual laborer is perhaps one degree better than a slave in ancient civilizations. Why not take more refugees that actually want to be here, work, and possibly stay if they get on the path to citizenship? The problem Europe has with the doomsday examples is that becoming integrated as a citizen is not part of plan.
