@Gun10J i admired people like tom coburn , jack kemp, mccain and romney. jimmy cater was a horseshit president and the dem party was uninspiring. but i admit i was too busy working and raising a family to pay much attention.

@oldskule24 Why did you vote Republican for 30 years? What did they do for you or any of your fellow Americans that made you vote Republican for three decades? Be specific.

The people who held a prayer rally on Sunday because the US is "a morally sick nation" that needs fixing, are out here on Tuesday supporting a corrupt Texan who cheated on his wife for US Senate.

Rolling Stone ranks The Wire the second-best TV show ever made. Entertainment Weekly named it the best in 2013. The man who made it spent six years fighting HBO to keep it on the air. They were trying to cancel it after every single season. The ratings never came. Season 2 peaked at 3.71 million viewers an episode. By the final season the average was under a million. The 2008 series finale pulled around 1 million, against The Sopranos finale's 11.9 million nine months earlier. After Season 3, HBO was ready to end it. Two of the show's biggest characters had been killed off or sent to prison. To the network, that was a natural finish. David Simon disagreed. He spent two years pushing HBO to renew, which is why Season 4 didn't premiere until 21 months after Season 3 ended. He'd wanted Season 4 to cover immigration in Baltimore. By the time HBO finally said yes, there was no time to research it, so he switched to the public schools, where his writing partner Ed Burns had taught for years. He also pitched HBO a spinoff about Tommy Carcetti, the politician character. Simon later said HBO boss Chris Albrecht looked at him like, "Dude, I'm trying to figure out how to cancel the one show." Season 5 was supposed to be 13 episodes. HBO cut it to 10. The first episode of the shorter season is called "More with Less." The casting almost fell apart for another reason. Idris Elba faked an American accent through four auditions to get Stringer Bell. He's from East London. The casting director coached him to lie. Dominic West, who played lead detective Jimmy McNulty, was also British, from Yorkshire. Simon didn't find out until the actors first read the script together. He'd specifically asked for Americans. Carolyn Strauss, the HBO executive who approved The Wire (and The Sopranos, and Six Feet Under), also saved one of its main characters. Simon had written Detective Kima Greggs to die in Season 1, episode 10. Strauss told him no. The awards did nothing for it. Two Emmy nominations across five seasons, both for writing. Zero wins. None of the actors were ever nominated, not even Idris Elba, Michael K. Williams, or Michael B. Jordan. Zero Golden Globe nominations either. One HBO executive said the network blamed the East Coast setting and the LA-based Emmy voters. The show that beat it every Sunday in the ratings was Desperate Housewives, originally pitched to HBO and turned down by Carolyn Strauss. Two things kept The Wire alive. Simon refused to give up. The show built a reputation that only paid off after it had ended. People bought the DVDs and told their friends. The show that almost died five times became the one everyone said you had to watch. The greatest show in television history got five seasons out of a network trying to cancel it after every one.

The Wire (2002) was nearly cancelled every season. HBO kept renewing it reluctantly despite mediocre ratings, only because critics wouldn't stop calling it the greatest show ever made.

"The Pittsburgh Pirates public address Art McKennan always announcer warned fans that: "Anyone who interferes with the ball in play will be ejected from the ballpark." Pittsburgh Mgr. Danny Murtaugh replied: "I hope Dick Stuart doesn't think that means him." "I had such a great year I didn't want to forget it. One night in Pittsburgh, 30,000 fans gave me a standing ovation for catching a hot dog wrapper on the fly." Dick Stuart. The first baseman for the Pirates, led the league in errors a record seven years in a row, 1958-1964. Dick Stuart was renowned for his atrocious fielding and earned the nicknames: "Dr. Strangelove," "Stonefingers," and "The Man with the Iron Glove." Primarily because of his inability to field, Boston Red Sox reliever Dick “The Monster” Radatz suggested that Dick Stuart’s license plate should be: 'E-3'. Set Western League record with 66 home runs in 1956. Dick Stuart was in the on deck circle when Bill Mazeroski hit his 9th inning home run in the 1960 World Series. Dick Stuart And His Son Ricky.

@thekapman Bryant was like the 7th best defender on the Seahawks replacing the league leader in interceptions. We'll see on Thieneman who is a rookie (most rookies are bad). And if we're making the health case, none of those guys are as good as Parsons/Kraft/Tom who are coming back in GB.

I’m going to be honest, the last 4 times I’ve filled up my gas tank, I thought about many things. None of those things were sharing a bathroom with a trans person, a mom buying soda with her SNAP or whether the guy in front of me in line was documented.
