I'm curious as to who he could have appointed that wouldn't have resulted in the criticism that he hasn't drained the swamp. Who would have fit the bill?

were you at the game? Just asking to see if your streak was broken...

I have yet to find any confirmation on the story about the $160 million for the Big Brother program. Is this a real thing or was it fake news? Can anyone find independent confirmation?

I also blame the Simpsons for our current drought, which started as a TV show in 1989-90. Granted, we won our last Cup only one year in to the TV show starting, but I still blame them! On another note, I just realized that this will be my 7,000th post on MBB, which made me realize....

I blame Milli Vanilli!

Now just hire this guy: and the ****-show will be complete...

Foley looking good today against the Commies Ruskies. Got an assist on the GWG and decked a guy Buff-style.

http://www.castanet.net/news/Canada/184618/Who-we-lost-in-2016 Canada took it on the chin pretty hard in 2016 as well. I got to meet Elsie Wayne 16 years ago on a visit to Parliament in Ottawa. Really amazing lady. Quite a fighter.

I tried to post a "Big Brother is watching You" poster in the above post and it didn't work. Not sure why not. Anyway, this is very Orwellian, to have the government telling people what they can and can't believe in their media.

Just have to play rock-em sock-em Jets hockey. Put Thorbs out there to go pound someone in the head. Hit them all over the ice. I remember last season Jim Hughson described the Jets as "bullies" while doing some cry-fest to defend why the Leafs were sucking so hard against the Jets. Yeah, I want to be known as bullies. Let's bully it up out there and really give em what for. Ok, done with my Don Cherry-esque rant...

Too bad he didn't turn out to be an asset like Radulov, who can actually score.

Chevy on the phone to Washington's GM Brian MacLellan: Hey there, have I got a deal for you! Mac: Oh no, is this about that Russian guy again? Chevy: Ah...well I...ah... Mac: Look bub, no one wants him, at any price. Why you guys brought him back from the KHL is a mystery, but it's your mystery to solve, not ours! Chevy: Well you know, you've got that Madison Bowey guy in the minors... Mac: Yeah, and?? Chevy: He'd sure look good playing with Morrissey again like he did in Kelowna...and on the gold-medal world junior team... Mac: Yeah, and?? Chevy: So I was thinking, Burmi, Stafford, and a third rounder for him? Mac: Stafford and a third rounder. Keep Burmi. Chevy: No deal! Mac: I am hanging up now. CLICK!

This team really missed Armia...

One of my favorite scenes from the Blues Brothers:

Apparently all the flights to Chicago are sold out so the Jets are hitching a ride with Gus Polinski and the Kenosha Kickers.

coming in a few hours, can hardly wait! Merry Christmas all!

What about Lemieux? I think he signed an ELC and then went back to junior last year...

at least we had all of those Grey Cups to soothe us...ha ha man that was quite a dry spell. Kudos to everyone who stuck it out. With the Jets back, a new stadium and finally some continuity at the top in both organizations and the talent pools stocked I for-see a lot to be optimistic about for the future. Here's to a great holiday season - I look forward to watching a lot of junior hockey in the next 10 days in a turkey coma. This year I will probably be more interested in the US team though with our young Jets prospects playing there. Take care and Merry Christmas everyone!

Cleveland of the north maybe...

I had to watch the Vancouver feed with John Garrett as the color guy, homer extraordinaire. He was going on and on about how that Little goal wasn't a goal, and that the Canucks should contact the league and lodge a formal complaint. He kept saying that the whistle went before Little pushed the puck over the line, despite the replay showing over and over that it in fact did not go off before. And to top it off, he's losing it over a goal that made it 4-1 with only a few minutes left in the game. It's not like it made the game 2-1 with 12 seconds left. Anyway, all I wanted to say is - Merry Christmas Shane Hnidy, Dennis Beyak and of course Sara Orlesky. You guys rock. I only appreciate you when I have to listen to incredibly inferior broadcast teams. We are lucky to have you guys.

It used to offer lower taxes, but not anymore...

I thought that these graphics were kind of interesting, demonstrating the division in America between Democrat and Republican, and just how concentrated the Democrat vote is in coastal urban centers: Maps were created using IDW (Inverse distance weighted) technique in ArcGIS.
