  1. Let's just get this straight. Alt-right ≠ progressives.
  2. Electors from the Electoral College are demanding an intelligence briefing on Russian interference with the election. Not sure that it will matter, but isn't this precisely why we'd have an Electoral College rather than a direct election of the President?
  3. No. It's "Fool me once....shame on me?... Fool me twice....can't get fooled again!" (See video above for reference.)
  4. Rex Tillerson of ExxonMobil Expected to Be Named Trump's Secretary of State Who?
  5. This thread reminds of the Raymond Carver short story, "What we talk when we talk about what we talk about."
  6. Isn't there already a thread devoted to fake news?
  7. I'd worry about this more if Frazier wasn't in line to make twice as much next year with just one year of team control. I think the Dodgers want Dozier and Turner. And they may not be able to afford both Turner and Frazier.
  8. You and your buddies today, Dave.
  9. Trump Picks Scott Pruitt, Climate Change Dissenter, to Lead E.P.A. Whelp.
  10. They also forfeit the 11th pick in the draft.
  11. I don't disagree, necessarily.. My point is that if part of the problem with our pitchers in the upper minors is that they have been underdeveloped because of resources and/or philosophy, does Falvey really know what he has in Stewart, Jay, Jorge, etc.? I'd prefer to see how the young guys respond to the regime changing, than to judging them by their results under the old regime.
  12. Well Trump's Carrier deal is vastly popular, though it really only saves 730 jobs.
  13. Let's not give up pitching prospects (whom could benefit from change in pitching philosophy) for a Redsox starter. We have other assets to deal; let's not further thin-out our minor league starting pitching depth in the name of mid rotation veterans...
  14. Agreed. But you have to accept that real results in terms of skill-building aren't going to bear themselves in tests over arbitrary time periods. I say you evaluate the process in terms of resources, curriculum, preparation, pay, qualifications, training, etc. etc. before looking to Billy's results from a timed test. It's simply far more effective for learning institutions to teach to the test rather than teaching life and work skills which may take time to accumulate into meaningful results. Standardized tests are about reducing educational goals into easy to manage data, not about meaningfully contributing the process. It feels politically driven as in a "See, I told you the State would hold schools accountable" kind of way. (To be fair, tests are necessary evil of the classroom, and when limited in scope perfectly pragmatic, and even fair when combined with other forms of evaluation.)
  15. Happy Holidays!
