I wonder if Clint Eastwood is interested in making Gran Torino 2?

Well, he better get cracking if he does….It’s hard to act past the age of 95.

Blame the Jews. Makes oh so much sense.

Too true. When in doubt, always go with the classics.

More likely she wants to be available when Graham gets that cabinet post he has been down on all fours, ass high, looking coquetishly over his shoulder at Trjmp for the last year to try to get.

Why, Mr. Priest…..You aren’t trying to insinuate that dear Little Lindsey might be, gasp!, part of the ferocious closeted gay underground of the Republican Party are you? I should like to point out to you that just because a man is 63 years old has had no known associations with any woman….well….that doesn’t make him gay. He could be just bidding his time….looking for the perfect Southern belle to accompany him on his journey through life and the beautiful world of Republican politics. And I, for one, wish him well in his search. 63 isn’t dead yet, but it is getting to be kind of late in life to find Miss Right (no pun intended).

Everyone speaking for the GOP from the person on the street to the elected officials said the same thing, “I fear for our sons and brothers ...” Hardly anyone said shit about daughters and sisters.

And you expected something else from the Misogynist-In-Chief, Donald ‘Pussy Grabber’ Trump? This woman was just like those 12 who came forward to accuse him—a bunch of lying bitches trying to stick the knife in men…..Fuck 'em and forget 'em is Big Don's motto.

There was evidence about Dr. Ford's claims:

Collins says she believed Ford but that there was no proof that the man was Kavanaugh. How is that possible? It wasn’t dark in that room. They didn’t throw a bag over her head. She was face to face and 12 inches away from the man who had his hand over her mouth. She’s either lying about the whole thing or she’s telling the complete truth, and from the way Kavanaugh reacted to this story she was telling the complete truth. The feckless Collins was just looking for any excuse to say "yes".

Its cute that Sen. Collins is talking as if there was a legal process versus a purely partisan political process

Yes…..so not only does she commit one of the bigger political betrayals of women we’ve seen in quite some time (as expected—-as is her style), she has the nerve to make a speech about it. Maybe she and the so-called Democrat Joe Manchin can tip a brew together after it’s all over.

I haven't considered for a second that Kavanaugh wasn't going to be confirmed.

I thought for a hot moment that he wouldn’t make it. So much questionable stuff coming out about his character and his history (plus his terrible performance at the hearing) that I figured that it was going to give the usual Republican (suspects) senators a decent chance to be the hero for a change instead of Republican sheeple, but now I don’t think it’s going to happen. Probably not even with Flake, whose got nothing to lose (if he votes ‘yes’ and has any notions of running for president he needs to get his head in the real world—ain’t gonna happen. No one would support such a wishy-washy coward). And Collins has done this little dance so many times that she’s just looking for any opportunity to say ‘Yes’. Murkowsky? Who knows….comes off as being pretty weak a lot of the time—just looking to keep her job.
I guess in the end it doesn’t make too much difference. Pick anyone of the first ten off that list they gave Trump and they would all be just about as good as Kavanaugh. Hard-core, right wing partisans, with no qualms about doing the most rotten things as long as it helps the Republican-right agenda to proceed.

He should have paid more attention to that math poser, 'if two trains are heading towards each other at different speeds....' :-)

Suddenly, there it was….the moment that that math teacher kept warning him about….the moment where this math shit could save his life………….and he missed it.

Also, Jackson had pitched the 8th

I had not remembered this (so many years ago…..sigh) Still, Mesa was still getting the majority of closer opportunities that year (maybe 2 out of 3?), as I remember it. I do remember I was very apprehensive about bringing in Mesa, so I must have felt that Jackson was capable of another inning since his accumulated number of innings wouldn't have been that high.

Jose "Useless Pile of Horse Excrement" Mesa. Discuss.

Nobody was calling Jose Mesa a pile of shit the year before, when he was nearly untouchable. I was noticing during that World Series year that he was not quite the same as the year before—that he was no longer cable of appearing night after night and still have the kind of effectiveness that he had before. As I remember that game in Miami, he had pitched the night before the final game, and when it came to the point of game 7 where it was time to bring in a closer, I was screaming at my TV screen “Don’t use Mesa tonight—use Mike Jackson", who was almost a co-closer with Mesa that year. But no…they went with Mesa and the team and Mesa forever paid the price.

Franklin,as the CFB version of Jose "Useless Pile of Horse Excrement" Mesa. Discuss.

I saw a little clip of McSorley at a post game news conference where he refused to throw Franklin under the bus, and I can understand that. As I get it, Franklin is quite popular with his players, and understandably so. Think of the job he had to do to get star players to come to PSU again after the kind of scandal they had there. “Uh, no coach, I think I”ll just take advantage of one of the many other offers I have had from top schools who have not had this kind of hideous scandal occur at their institutions.”
This thing reminded me of one of those Life imitating Art situations…..the movie Hoosiers. The coach (Hackman) calls a time out before the final play and explains to his team that he wants to use their reluctant star (Jimmy) as a decoy and then have someone else take the final shot. The team hems and haws and stare at their sneakers…..Hackman screams at them “What’s wrong?” Whereupon Jimmy speaks up and says “Give me the ball….I’ll make the shot”…..and so, in the movie, he did. That’s how guys like McSorley are…..It isn’t arrogance or ego….They believe in themselves and almost always believe that, all things being equal, they will ‘make the shot’ or the play. And this guy has proven it all the way through high school and at his career at PSU.

I dont think anyone is saying Ms Ford lied.

Well, yes, actually, they are. They don’t accept her story, which is the same thing as saying she is lying without saying it out loud. There are two different stories here and only one of them can be true. Someone is lying.

IMO OSU was not going to let McSorley beat them with his feet by what I saw on that last play.

Quite so…..but having him surrounded and getting a hold of him are two different things, as he was able to demonstrated throughout the game. Plus, with the ball in his hands he could have chosen the pass option. One of those little slants over the middle might have proven to work pretty well, or throwing off of the scramble if the defense was able to cut off his running options. I say when you have a talent like him in your arsenal you go with it (your best pitch). You don’t go with a second best option, just because you think you might fool the other team, because the way McSorley was playing that night you don’t need to try a different option. Let it all ride on the guy who got you there. But, really, this is all just would have, could have, should have been. OSU won the game and they deserved to. I am sure a lot of the PSU fans thought they had control of the situation through most of the game. Compared to their previous performances OSU did not look to be playing up to par (with kudos to Penn State). But when it came to the last 8 minutes of the game, Ohio dominated and took the game, leaving most PSU fans, I’m sure, with a Whaaaaat? What happened? We lost? How the F*** did that happen? sort of feeling.

And so he just plain got out thought by the OSU DC.

Well, there is such a thing as over-thinking the situation, as in “OSU thinks we will be giving the ball to McSorley (whom, for the most part, they haven’t stoped all night), so we’ll just fool them and give it to the guy that they have controlled….” As we saw, not exactly a recipe for success. You’re right though, it was a great play by the OSU kid….still, I have to go with McSorley, considering the kind of game he was having. It’s like a pitcher in baseball getting beat on his second best pitch. You got a 100 mile an hour heater you stake the game on that. Everyone knows it’s coming, so beat it if you can. McSorley was killing them all night long, so I take my chances with him, even if they know what’s coming. But, hindsight is always 100%.

As too OSU and PSU both having a 'shot' at this particular juncture I would have to agree.

Cap:
Unbelievable play call by your coach on PSU’s final play. OSU had been trying to get the ball out of McSorley’s hands the entire game and here your own coach does it for them on the most crucial play of the game. If I were playing for or coaching Penn State I would have rather announced to the OSU defense before the play went off that the ball was going to McSorley rather than giving it to anyone else. Franklin took the blame, but I can’t see how he made that particular decision. I thought he was smart.
