Hatcher shoulda had that one.

Good for both the Lions and the CFL. A lot more interesting to watch when you hear the reactions of a big crowd in the background.

Nice documentary on Rhymes earlier today. Sounded like he is going to put roots down here in Canada.

Gotta admit that Rourke is moving well. But Stamps are starting to crank it up.

Yes. By beating the snot out of each other.

When someone is on mood stabilizer meds, there is a very delicate balance of these required. Med effects are not consistent beginning to end of administration and can be affected by stress, diet, water intake, ambient temperature and so forth. So Evans can be feeling ok now but in a couple of hours, lose some of his concentration and/or alertness. Tough for an athlete in a contact sport. BC player showing his Moxey.

Kadeem Carey otta change his name to KaBoom Carey.

I think it was Mark Twain who said that people get the government they deserve, so Americans have apparently have done something terrible.

BC is depending on the thinnest of hopes. Rourke's foot will have to be absolutely numbed and some of that juice has to affect his thinking and reactions as the meds peak. The Lions would have to be ahead by at least 20 points when he is pulled for the Tabbies to hang onto a win.

Looks like the TiCats have made their last mistake of the day. Als ought to be able to grind it out now.

Ukraine is very concerned about this scenario. So concerned that they may be forced to mount an all-out attack on Russian positions rather than the grinding away and inflicting as many casualties as possible which has served them well. An all-out offensive may be advantageous to the Russians, and thus the Ukrainians fear the US mid-term election results.

Frankly. I am surprised at the beating the Als are laying on the TiCats. The Als have essentially the same lineup they have had all season but are looking very polished. Maybe Khari was the problem all along?

Sen. Ron Johnson Won’t Promise That He Will Accept Election Results During debates, one sees a perfunctory question to a Democratic candidate as to whether she or he will support the results of the election, but generally, we only see the question posed to one side, Republicans, because Republicans aren’t sure what they think about elections determining who is in power these days. We know they have secretaries of state candidates that promise Republican victories, always saying they’ll be “clean” (It sounds more persuasive in Russian). The wrong people keep winning, as demonstrated by all those Democrats in power because they had all those votes. Today, Sen. Ron Johnson, running in a 2 pt race with Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, bemoaned that he wished he could say he’d accept the outcome, but he just can’t because you really can’t predict what Democrats might do. The Democrats’ GOTV effort may be fantastic, and what then? https://www.politicususa.com/2022/11/05/sen-ron-johnson-wont-promise-that-he-will-accept-election-results.html

Still hoping for some rousing Gregorian chants. Or Inuit throat singing.

The crazy has already started- some time ago, actually. The GOP plan is to declare themselves the winners as soon as they have any lead in the votes and refuse to leave. And claim endorsement from God: 'Blasphemy': DeSantis slammed for 'heretical' re-election ode to himself Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pulling out all the stops, sending his wife in to submit his closing argument for re-election: God endorses me. DeSantis is running to keep his seat from former Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a Democrat.

Trump Injects Himself Into Midterms With Rallies, Leaks About 2024 Democrats who had hoped to make the midterms yet another election about Donald Trump will get one last chance as the former president spends the final days holding a flurry of rallies and making a pre-announcement of his plans to run for the White House again in 2024. Trump, who is under criminal investigation by prosecutors in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, told an Iowa rally audience Thursday night that he “very, very, very probably” would run again. He followed up with leaks to news outlets Friday that he would likely announce on Nov. 14 ― the the day the House committee investigating his mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol demanded that he sit for a sworn deposition. Many Republicans, aware that Trump is deeply unpopular in the suburban areas where they are hoping to pick up House seats and which would deliver the swing votes in key Senate races, had hoped he would keep a low profile until after Election Day. “If there is one thing Trump has proved over and over again, there is only one person he cares about electing, and that’s him,” said Rory Cooper, a Republican consultant and aide to former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Cooper pointed out that not only did the GOP lose the House under Trump in 2018, but it then lost the Senate when Trump sabotaged two Georgia runoffs in January 2021 by telling his supporters that the elections were rigged. “Not only has he not helped Republicans win majorities, but he actively cost us the Senate two years ago with these antics, and so we have him to thank for Biden’s entire legislative agenda to date,” Cooper said. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-midterms-2024_n_63653529e4b06f38ded401f3

Oh Look, Another Republican Candidate Who Paid for An Abortion And Then Voted to Keep Abortion Off the Ballot Republican Michigan state judge Brian Zahra’s ex-wife says he drove her to get an abortion years ago, and she’s angry that he voted to block a measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution in September. Zahra is up for re-election to the state’s Supreme Court. Zahra’s ex-wife, Alyssa Jones, told NBC News in an interview, “I’m grateful I had a choice, and I think he’s grateful he had a choice.” Jones said she was incensed by what she views as hypocrisy by Zahra, since she believes the termination of her pregnancy ultimately helped him build a successful law career, and that his vote was an attempt to deny others a similar choice. Zahra voted to block an abortion measure called Proposal 3, citing “insufficient spacing” on the petition.

He could always wear a bra for protection. Sport bra, of course.

Rumour hath it that many survive by packing vegetation into cylindrical cellulose tubes and lighting them so they smoulder, generating heat and relief from the awareness of cold temperatures. This seems to spur appetite in many which encourages them to eat high-calorie foods.

A year ago or so, a sociologist looked at the Trumpites and could find no discernible difference between them and other cults, like Heaven's Gate and the Moonie followers.

And I doubt the near-death experience changed her mind about COVID.

Kari Lake Promises To Arrest FBI Agents Over Policy That Doesn’t Exist “I don’t believe parents are terrorists at all. And I’ll tell you what. If I were governor right now, and Joe Biden even thought he was gonna send his FBI or DOJ in to start coming after our parents, they would be met at the airport with the state police and arrested for going after our rights. We finally, as parents, have to rise up and say, ‘No, we’re gonna take this anymore, and they call us terrorists. That’s unbelievable. We’re in an upside-down world, and we need to right it.’ That sounds concerning. Joe Biden might send “his” FBI and DOJ to come after parents? Forget that State Police cannot arrest the FBI if they are doing their jobs, it is unbelievable that the FBI would be “sent” to arrest parent terrorists. Literally “unbelievable” because none of this exists in the real world, and Kari Lake is tapping into the Qanon conspiracy ecosystem, the favorite habitat of the rabid MAGA voter who might otherwise be too lazy to vote. The actual FBI memo doesn’t mention parents, only the safety of teachers and district staff: Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values. Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety. The Department takes these incidents seriously and is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate. In the coming days, the Department will announce a series of measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel. So, wait. Not all parents are terrorists? The FBI only plans to stop the death threats and aggressive action toward other state employees. like teachers and administrators? So, it would seem that the FBI doesn’t call parents terrorists. No, the FBI calls terrorists “terrorists.” If a parent has concerns and goes to meetings and speaks their mind loudly, he or she isn’t a terrorist; that person is a concerned parent. But if a parent or ISIS leader goes to a school board meeting and says that he knows where they all live and they are signing their death warrants, that person is a terrorist, parent or not. Yet again, it’s Lake who lives in an upside-down world. Katie Hobbs, win or lose, committed the greatest act of political malpractice ever by refusing to debate this person. Pffft, “state troopers arresting FBI agents there to take in parents because they’re terrorists.” Only Kari Lake would make such an assertion. https://www.politicususa.com/2022/11/03/kari-lake-promises-to-arrest-fbi-agents-over-policy-that-doesnt-exist.html Republicans Are Now Going Door To Door To Intimidate Voters. Republicans have gone beyond intimidating voters at drop boxes and have started going door to door to harass those who might vote for Democrats. -Reuters reported on an incident in California: The canvassers in California’s Shasta County in September wore reflective orange vests and official-looking badges that read “Voter Taskforce.” Four residents said they mistook them for government officials. But the door knockers didn’t explain where to vote or promote a candidate, the usual work of canvassers ahead of a big election. Instead, they grilled residents on their voting history and who lived in their homes, probing questions that might have violated state laws on intimidation and harassment, according to the county’s chief election official. These sorts of incidents have happened in 19 states, where Trump supporters have taken the tradition of door-to-door canvassing to get out the vote and turned it into a harassment and intimidation technique designed to both discourage from voting, and if they do vote, challenging their ballots. In Michigan, Trump supporters plan to use the data that they gathered while harassing and intimidating voters to challenge votes. Trump and his supporters are using the traditional tools of democracy to attack democracy itself. The United States hasn’t since this level of voter intimidation since the Civil Rights era.
