Seriously. I mean, talk about chutzpah. She takes the cake on this one. At the same time, gotta back her on this. But man, it hurts. And it hurts a lot. Just close your eyes and repeat, "it's not about me."

What to do about smog, and what do readers think of the 1955 Ford, in the same box, is quite telling.

What a great tradition.

American's believe they won the cold war: we may have to rethink that. Because "socialism" lives in many American's heads, rent free, every day. And the juvenile definition of what that "socialism" is/was, keeps the US from tapping its true potential with every policy decision. So who lost?

Imagine having to select a job based on its access/cost to health care? You don't have to, because it happens in the US every day.

Can you imagine what this country could be if it wasn't obsessed with one word: "freedom"? This word nullifies our abilities to borrow the best practices of the developed world. In healthcare, in education, in transit, in housing, gun control and much more. It's a "freedom" to chase poor outcomes.

Good lord, whoever that CF was didn’t have a whole lot of urgency.

Can’t guard the perimeter despite having elite defensive wings. Kind of perplexing, but I believe they’ll work it out. Because they have to!

Absolutely. But my 10-year-old son is trying to get away with audio books to fulfill his nightly reading assignment. And I won’t allow that because I think he’s gotta get that stamina.

That’s cool. You are absolutely welcome to your deductions, it goes without saying.

I hear you, but it's not the case. All humans are capable of this. Unfortunately, I have thousands of years of data to pull from. Separating people is something we do to cope with this reality, but we're all the same. We're from the same species.

If you inflict pain and suffering onto other humans, wildlife and animals, you are human.

If the fan base is motivated and cares, do you think it rubs off on the players? Imagine a situation playing out where your team wins the cup, and goes on to pick a key player who is a big part of the team for multiple years. Does that move you at all?

What if I told you that the winner of the Cup would get a 15th overall draft pick? Does that make you more interested in the tournament?

I agree. It can't cancel his legacy because it is absolutely everywhere. Frankly, I don't care much if it was him or Eleanor, just the fact that is was done is the bottom line. Getting things done, at speed. I am definitely grateful every time I visit the Sunset Park WPA swimming pool in Brooklyn.

You never stop being blown away by the catastrophic planning decisions that were made in American cities. It's extraordinary.
