Well, all the noise around this is good publicity, but I do wonder if LaPolice looked at the steam pile in Regina and decided that wasn't for any sane person. However, the optics of refusing to interview for a head coaching position wouldn't look good, so maybe he asked O'Shea and Walters to pose as the bad guys.

And if you cannot recognize your limitations, just ask your wife.

That is my take.

NBC News reported Ken Dilanian pointed out: “To be clear: Mueller is not disputing that Cohen says Trump told him to lie. He’s disputing the line about corroborating evidence taken from Trump Org emails, texts, etc. Still a huge deal. But not a total refutation. In fact, Cohen’s 11/30 memo says Trump directed him to lie.”

Trump is practicing the gesture of the empty hand- wherein something "big" is promised with great fanfare and then when nothing materializes, it is hoped that the hype will be remembered rather than the lie. Its worked for him with his rabid base so far.

Sex involves other people?

'Cuz peanut butter causes a lot of problems.

I hope that Jones left a case of water-based personal lubricant behind because the Riders are screwed for the upcoming season at least.

Not necessarily. These are the same people who still believe that Obama was born in Kenya and is a secret Muslim, and invaded a hapless pizza parlour armed to the teeth on the belief that Hillary was operating a pedophile ring out of a non-existent basement there. There will be some reasonably sane supporters who have seen or will see the massive scam they bought into and fade away but more than half of those who claim to be Republicans would be quite ok with the imposition of a right-wing/ "Christian)" dictatorship in the US. Both the right wing and fundamentalist "Christians" subscribe to the "trust and obey" dictates and delegate their morality to others. You may want to look into the Stanford Project some time.

I am stunned that Trump has ordered some federal employees to report to work without being paid. Firstly, some of these "essential services workers" are those tasked with issuing petroleum exploration permits- hardly "essential". Secondly, I'm pretty sure that being ordered to work without payment under threat is a classic definition of slavery. How can the American courts countenance this?

Oh, yes he has. Hang in awhile longer.

oh, Lord. Please, no.

It would be interesting to watch both of them with their walkers.

Not a lot of data on Jones, and Briggs is huge but slow. Looks like 300 lbs is now the minimum weight for import O-linemen.

Apart from the legalities, Durant would have been better than anyone else the Riders had behind center this past season. But that's a pretty low bar.

The Riders and Durant deserve each other. Good riddance. If the Bombers can get a cheese Whopper and fries, they should go for it.

Sounds credible.

I was referring to Simonise. Wolitarsky appears to be more of a possession receiver who can catch in traffic, punish d-backs and power ahead for more yards. I don't think we have seen anywhere near Simonise's potential yet, and maybe we never will. All the physical tools and talent do no good if the fire in the belly is not there. We just do not know yet.

We might have such a game-breaker already on our roster- big, good hands, very fast and a Canuck to boot. All we need is for the receivers coach to tune him up and give him the playing time to establish a rapport with our QB(s).

There is an interesting corollary to the story: it would seem that Pederson was done in by someone who had an axe to grind with him. This might mean that his core personality didn't change all that much after he went dry.

Or CNN, but on the other hand, "Fox News" might.

My point being that when people are in the grip of an addiction, they are often devious, dishonest and manipulative. Those who dry out and overhaul their lives as per the 12 steps are the ones who flourish, but those who simply abstinent (often by being compelled) are the ones who struggle and often fall down again because they have not done the work on themselves.

It was widely known that Peterson had been battling the bottle for many years but had dried out several years ago. However, if you sober up a horse thief, you still have a horse thief.

No matter what happens in Pile O' Bones, the fans there will refuse to see it as any kind of setback. Apart from the Bombers, there is a lot of turmoil this year in the CFL west.

In recent US politics news, the FBI has documented that they warned the Trump campaign in mid-2016 that Russia was trying to influence the election through the Republican party in general and the Trump election committee. They advised the committee that they were obligated to report any further contact with the Russians to the FBI, but the FBI has hard evidence that there were subsequent contacts that went unreported. Further, the FBI has stated that Manafort had contact with someone in the White House during the time he was "cooperating" with Mueller. Manafort is looking at some serious jail time- up to 20 years. However, Trump's proposed AG, Barr, has made ambiguous statements as whether he would allow vigorous investigation and prosecution of a sitting president.
