I think we are watching the end of the American empire and the emergence of a neo-nazi mindset in both the current administration and far too many American citizens. Trump believes that he is above the law and can run the government and policies by fiat with the Congress and Senate serving as rubber stamps. The religious right believes that America was somehow established as a theocracy and a Christian one at that. To this end, they believe with some justification, that Trump will serve as a "useful idiot" to give fundamentalist "Christians" primacy in all government functions and policy. They are willing to overlook Trump's admitted sexual assaults, marital unfaithfulness, racism and support of white supremacists so long as he delivers the oppression to "non-Christians" according to their wishes. Several of the fundamentalists have openly said that they believe democracy is incompatible with their brand of religion. Despite America's long history of the rule of law and constitutional democracy, there are those who would support a dictatorship as long as they are the ones who benefit. In Nazi Germany, there were Jews who supported Hitler, and British and Americans who were enthusiastic supporters of Hitler, and that dark underside of societies will always will be there.

FYI: breakdancing will be an olympic sport next time. After that it will be either tiddly-winks or competitive knitting.

Damning with faint praise. As in: "For a fat girl, you don't sweat very much".

With the help of world-class recreational pharmaceuticals and an undying disdain for the Riders.

Poblah was one of those, "Who is this guy?" picks but Waggoner looked to be able to play but decided his future was elsewhere.

That's not the worst thing you could put on your papers. I had a university friend who was working at a menial job in summer with a hateful boss. When his last day there rolled around and he was the last to leave (because a lot of extra stuff got dumped on him and he had to finish it), he completed the work and urinated on it. So far as I know, he never gave them as a reference.

Agree. I have noticed that in games where a 200+ lb running back starts breaking into the defensive backfield and punishing the DBs, soon the DBs start hugging the line and are much slower in chasing receivers. Then its open season.

I believe that it is called, "grasping at straws".

I wonder if Jordan is going to suck.

As regards the Rider/Argo game, it seems to me that the Argos have QBs (Franklin and Bethel-Thompson)who might be good enough, but I do not see the Riders as having anyone close to those (with all due respect to Mr. Bennett). So maybe my favouring the Argos may not be so wrong.

Well, considering the circumstances of his death, he was definitely a knit-wit.

The only "if" is whether he and Nichols have synced yet. I suspect we can expect a few plays where Matthews is open but zigs when Nichols expects him to zag. All will be well.

O'Shea is just being coy.

He will have to Duke it out for that honour.

Thank God our hospitals' ERs are being overhauled to make them more efficient.

If I was an Argo fan, I would only vote that late at night so as to avoid being outed.

If a "Little person" salutes you, would that be a "micro-wave?"

I may well be wrong on the Rider-Argo game but I am willing to be just so that I do not feel like I am cheering for the Riders.

That doesn't really matter.

Three correct out of four ain't bad.

He's playing quarterback AND pass blocking????

He should enjoy that while he can.

I would venture to guess they will win between 3 and 5 games this year. At most.

Nothing but night games, though.
