Fuck Joe DiMaggio: 'My mom tells a Joe DiMaggio story. It was during a World Series. Her grandfather took her to the Series, and Joe DiMaggio and [Yankee pitcher] Red Ruffing were sitting underneath the stands, talking. Nobody was bothering them whatsoever, and my mother goes over there and she says, “Mr. DiMaggio, can I please have your autograph?” He just ignored her. He didn’t say, “No.” He didn’t say, “Excuse me.” So she asks again. And he refused to even turn around. Finally Red Ruffing said to him, “Come on, Joe, just sign for the girl.” And he just sat there. It was like she didn’t even exist. My mother said she would never buy Mr. Coffee.'--Marty Appel, former head of Yankee public relations

"Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio insisted on being introduced as the "Greatest Living Ballplayer" at events, including Yankee Old-Timers Day.

This would be a disaster. A massive, unforced political error.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, says President Trump should nominate either Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) or Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) if Justice Alito retires from SCOTUS.

I’m no fan of beaming players or head hunting but a nice rib shot is an appropriate response here to McCormick ,after being a douche to the first baseman

As a child, fearful that my ailing father would be drafted into the Chinese military, I took his spot—though, as a girl, I was technically unqualified to serve. I cleverly impersonated a man and went off to train with fellow recruits, where I excelled.

I worked for 5 Secretaries of State. I did not like them all, I did not agree with them all, but what I DID feel was that they were sober, serious people who had a good grasp of the high stakes their position entailed.
Marco here does not, and it scares me.

What is it about progressives and all this throat-clearing? I’m the last person to defend Swalwell, who has been nasty online, but the first two sentences of the post below are totally sufficient.
Ruben Gallego@RubenGallego
I support the ethics committee’s investigation and believe Eric Swalwell is no longer fit to be a Member of Congress. He should be expelled from Congress. I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell. I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew. The women who have come forward have shown courage. They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.

I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.
