Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Oklahoma governor has vetoed the legislature's bill criminalizing abortion. Cross her off the Trump VP list.

 

A few years ago, nearly 30 percent couldn't name the vice president of the United States. Second in line for the Presidency.

Which makes it more laughable when you see screechers point to every little thing and claim that "This is the big one!" that will doom a candidate. A good portion of the population is too busy, too distracted, or just doesn't give a shit enough to care.

 

She also signed an executive order to address Oklahoma's feral hog problem.

They wouldn't have a problem if they just raised koalas instead of hogs.

 

If you squint just right, Oscar Gamble kind of looked like a koala.

 

Down the Oscar Gamble rabbit hole ...



1975 Oscar Gamble

Yep, he was a Padre, too. Not to mention an obvious selection for this list. Gamble, mostly because of his championship-caliber Afro, has lasted as a symbol of the super-fly '70s. His 1976 Topps Traded rookie card has long been a cult favorite, but my totally subjective preference is his card from the previous year. I think it's the retro (well, now-retro) Indians uniform that puts it over the top. While Gamble -- who, in a bit of humorous irony, is now bald -- has a merry attitudeabout his place in baseball lore, it's always worth a reminder that the man was a heck of a hitter and a habitual mauler of righthanded pitching. His uppercut lefty swing was particularly suited for Yankee Stadium, and in '79, splitting the season between Texas and New York, he batted .358 with 19 homers and a 1.065 OPS in 274 plate appearances. He finished his career with 200 homers, an .811 OPS, and his own distinctive place in baseball's history; the man's pick belongs in Cooperstown.

It's surprising that Steinbrenner put up with that, seeing that he was such a stickler for facial hair and, later on, Mattingly's hairstyle.

 

After decades of a party ranting "run government like a business like a business like a business!" along comes a wildly successful TV business man, and you refer to that guy as a koala playing baseball?

You might as we'll be the 56-year-old landscaper hand-rolling cigarettes and reading Noam Chomsky on State street in Madison.

 

Has anyone tried koala bacon?

 

Great, now this thread has become offensive to koalas. What's next? Wombats?

 

She saved taxpayers a ton of money that might have been spent trying to defend an unconstitutional law.

 

No.

I was referring to the idea that anything different is better as a general proposition.
