Have you ever listened to the man? He's about as much a snake as anyone I've ever seen. And he's bitching about "Democrats being obstructionists" and it's just funny that the GOP is bitching about something they've been doing for YEARS.

It's not like any side can complain about things they don't do themselves. Politician is a dirty word, and I don't really care who or what they claim to be. I'll leave it at that.

Stupid kids. That intersection is as wide open and visible as you can ask for, and it's a T. She's coming down the hill and can see if anything is coming for nearly a 1/4 mile down the road, and yet pulls out from the stop sign directly into the path of a tractor-trailer. Unless her brakes failed or something similar, this makes no sense, and no possible way that it wasn't clearly her fault. And now she's dead. Crazy.

Once I heard that it was a SUNY student, it made more sense. Same place where they famously drove through the wall of the hardware shop. All those Long Island kids going to college and getting their license, car, freedom and alcohol all on the same day. Zero experience with anything and no idea how to drive.

Clay Buchholtz dealt to Philly
http://nesn.com/2016/12/dave-dombrowski-explains-thinking-behind-red-soxs-clay-buchholz-trade/
LOVE this trade!! Philly picked up the entire salary, AND we got a guy (a low A guy, but an actual BODY LOL) in return!! I would have accepted a bucket of balls for him.
Listening to talk radio, some were actually concerned. Not me. The 6 pitchers left vying for the 5 rotation spots:
The current Cy Young Award winner (Rick Porcello)
A former Cy Young Award winner (David Price)
A guy who has been in the top 5 in Cy Young voting the past 4 years straight (Chris Sale)
a 24 year old lefty that had a 3.24 ERA in the 2nd half (Eduardo Rodriguez)
An AL All Star pitcher (Steven Wright)
An NL All Star Pitcher (Drew Pomeranz)Not to mention a few guys in the minors who could help...specifically Henry Owens.
Great trade!!

Yes sucks kids died I'm sorry I feel for the kids but if you're at fault I own this furniture the instructions have always stated to secure it to the wall.
