Anal Warts 'R' Us has the concession there.

When I lived in Cleveland in the late '90's, Charles Barkley was sued by a guy that he threw through a plate glass window. What happened was Barkley, Reggie Miller and a couple of other folks from US Men's Basketball team went out on the town after an exhibition game. Miller had a ladyfriend with him that evening who happened to be white, and some drunken asshole started saying a bunch of vile, racist shit to her. Barkley told the guy if he didn't shut up and leave he was going to throw him out. The guy doesn't shut up, so Barkley picks him up and throws him out the plate glass window, then peels off several hundred dollar bills and hands them to the bartender, apologizing for the damage.

Fast forward a couple of months, the case goes to trial. In the opening statement, his lawyer says "Now, you are going to hear some testimony about what my client said that evening. My client's actions are not what's on trial." Right there, I knew he lost the Cleveland jury. Sure enough, when the case was over and the Plain Dealer talked to a juror he was quoted to the effect "no man would let another man speak to a woman like that. We felt Mr. Barkley was generous in giving him the chance to leave first under his own power."

I bring this up because the Tim Ryan tweet, bluntly calling out the ghoulishness of Vance, seems like something that would play well to that juror and his peers. It has been over 20 years since I lived in Ohio, and I always lived in or near a big city, so I could be off-base. But Dolan and Ryan sound like the kind of politician Ohioans would elect to this sort off an office, and Mandel and Vance don't.

I'm not a big sports guy, but I've been to a couple of MLB games, and they're more interesting live than they are from TV. Weird.

They cannot read, they cannot write. [...] Instead of prayer and patriotism in school, we are now talking about critical race theory and other issues like sexuality. Am I reading this right? Is he saying that prayer and patriotism includes literacy?

Oh, they definitely think the mosques should be shut down, too. I know that isn't exactly what you were asking, but that's the answer anyway.

I know it's against the rules to wish ill on people, even deserving people, but if that entire building and occupants had suddenly been Raptured, would not the world be a better place?
