    I thought it was Swisher who injured Nishi?
  2. Squirrel
    Wow. If only I had decided to go to the game I could've seen it in person.
  3. Squirrel
    So why was Sano coming over to talk to Berrios and not Murphy?
  4. Squirrel
    Lol. If I could find a way for it to move from one side to the other I would.

    You know it's kind of a be careful what you wish for warning. There were complaints of a previous avatar so I put one up that was sure to be worse. It's a selfie.

    I'm watching to the very bitter end because it's a long time to ST.

    Btw ... how y'all liking my new avatar? I've very proud of it. Rarely do I take such a good selfie!
  12. Squirrel
    Takes one to know one.

    BooYah!

    And now another one ... still State Farm but a different ad. Same spot. And I finished typing that and waited 5-10 seconds for it to catch up with me.
  15. Squirrel
    I'm experiencing periods of slowness ... even in typing let alone posting. And I'm getting audio ads ... and can't seem to mute them, either. Just had a State Farm ad go by in the upper right-hand position.

    Well, given what Johnson has shown I'll give you significant, but not in a good way. This endorsement was only to say 'not Trump.' If any other Republican were nominated, any in the field who were running, the Tribune would've endorsed them. Their support of a third party is just disingenuous to me, and I support having more fields of choice. Their only reason for coming out with this now, when they have never supported this isn't about third party support but an anti-Trump vote. Maybe for Johnson it's a good thing and significant for his campaign, but this reeks of typical Trib fare in lacking real integrity.

    Bit of trivia you've probably all heard before, but Andrews won a best actress Academy Award in 1964 for her role in Mary Poppins. At the end of her acceptance speech she thanked the producers of My Fair Lady, who wouldn't cast her in movie, despite her Tony nominations for the role on Broadway and lead Rex Harrison's first choice, saying she wasn't enough of a 'star' at the box office. That freed her up to take on the role of Mary Poppins.

    No, it's really not that significant, it was pretty expected. Before Obama, they never endorsed a Democrat for president, and they pretty much had to endorse Obama considering he was the Senator from Illinois. It's interesting to note that they did NOT endorse him when he was running for Senate in 2004, despite the fact that his opponent was just not good. This is a very typical move of the Tribune. And, they endorsed Rubio in the primary. Their endorsements have always had very strong, conservative leanings. It's significant only in that it's not Trump, but it's not representative of any ideological shift on their part, not really. It would have been at least surprising if not significant if they had endorsed Clinton because she's a Democrat. It's not something they would do. It would have been even more significant if they had endorsed no one. But endorsing Johnson, given how Chicago feels about Trump, was more expected than significant. This significance isn't necessarily a boost for 3rd parties, not directly, they are just saying 'Not Trump.' Edit: I have may have gotten that 2004 non-endorsement wrong ... I can't find who they endorsed and that was a very weird election as I recall now, with the Republican dropping out of the race in the final stretch, being replaced by Alan Keyes. However, their endorsements are more conservative than not, especially for top positions such as president and governor. I still think it was an unsurprising endorsement.

    Glad I went to the movies instead. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was fantastic, excellent, really darn good.
  20. Squirrel
    Maybe Sunday. Out with a friend tonight and working tomorrow night. Waiting for the movie to start. Seeing that Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children movie. Tim Burton. Looks good. Hoping it is.

    It's a home game so no Hawk!
  22. Squirrel
    I'm watching very closely.

    I've casted my vote for no one before. Casting a vote for no one is still exercising your right to vote, and I think that's important. Although, I've never not voted for someone for president, but other offices ... namely mayor in Chicago. For me those were truly abysmal choices and I was right about Rahm.
  24. Squirrel
    I actually expected this. And it's not surprising.

    Where is the boundary for 'fringe?' And if it's growing, can it really be called 'fringe?' I'm not trying to be combative or snarky here, I really want to know ... where does fringe begin? I'm just wondering if ... more and more people no longer identify with the mainstream ideals or either party, or fall in the middle, if those 'outlier' viewpoint have increasing strength and following, are they really that fringe anymore?
