    Any game that the University of Virginia plays in will not be a prestigious game. In fact, it ill be a dog of a game. Given the opportunity to announce another game a sportscaster should jump to get a new assignment.

    He was bashing the media for criticizing what he said, and then left out the part they were criticizing him for.

    God, people are the worst.

    It was a funny meme. Anyone with a first-grade education got the joke. The smarty pantses trying to pick it apart as a mixed metaphor are idiots.

    I wish they would have used "single parents" instead of the sexist "single moms," but I found this article interesting. Anyone with a background in education and/or advocacy know anything about these accounts?

    For what it's worth, the Jefferson Bowl has a much higher likelihood of an FCS-over-FBS "upset." It's probably a more interesting game.

    I don't know which one to pick up first, Hillary's new book, or Joe's:

    For you it didn't.

    For some, it did, independent of the media's reaction. Negation is a perception. You could give your spouse, for example, 12 compliments, but bury a notable critique right in the middle, and she may remember the critique and none of the good stuff. She - I'm not speaking of her specifically, but as an example - could, in fact, think you only said the 12 good things so you could plausibly say the one critique.

    So it is with Trump. Some Americans believe what Trump really wanted to say that day was underlined by the "many sides" comment. The rest was just fluffy padding.

    This morning I saw the current wrangle between McConnell and Trump characterized as "The Tortoise vs. The Hair".
