I have never, ever said such a thing. What I have acknowledged that there is a long history in western society of women choosing husbands based on his ability to support her, and of course, non-support has long been grounds for divorce. (Of course, this could change were women equally...

Bingo. From what I understand, Sol's notion of intimacy is a 30 minute incall, which is about as intimate as 30 minutes with a blow up doll. It's pretty clear that his primary emotion in this thread is envy. And I can understand that. S. and I have a wonderful relationship, enriching both of our...

I don't know where there servers are located, but it's clear their card processor is in the Netherlands. According to Wikipedia, it was founded by MIT grad Brandon Wade in 2006, but is now headquartered in Las Vega.

Sorry, Beav, it was on Tanaka. He allowed three runs in 4.33, the pen allowed three runs in 4.33. You gotta go deeper into games. As for Happ and Hamels, the price will be steep because the need is desperate. After Severino and Sabathia, the Yankees have nobody to go to in September, but a...

Keep dreaming, Beav. Exit velocity, schmexit velocity. You know what the exit velocity is on a punchado? Zero. Stanton and Judge have been punched out 122 and 123 times respectively, approximately 50% more than JD's 88. Neither hs the hitter JD is and neither will ever be a triple crown...

Sorry to miss this one, but I was out-of-town for a family event scheduled before the date of the party was announced, otherwise I'd have been there. Hopefully, the lack of turnout will not dissuade Jasmine from doing this again, sooner rather than later. I don't know that Saturday rather...

JD Martinez is also a Boras client. Wonder what Boras blames his monster season on.

You are correct that he was not smart enough to, but he didn't write the bill. Note also that the new tariffs coming down from Canada, the EU and China hit particularly hard in Trump country. You can bet your last loony that that is quite intentional. As for not personalizing politics, I...

You are correct. However, as has been widely observed Trump only cares about his own ass. Many of the R congresspeople in these states are endangered and will lose their seats come November, at least in part to Trump's conscious punishing of states that didn't vote for him.

On the other hand, Trump claims the US has a trade deficit even with countries with which the US has a trade surplus, ie Canada. An oft repeated lie among the over 3600 he has uttered in public since taking office. (Only he knows, maybe, how many lies he's told Melania.)

The Dow ended the first half of the year down 2.4%, it's worst performance since 2010. This, I assume, was in reaction to Trump's giving himself a $400 million tax break. The fallout from the trade war is yet to happen, though farmers in the US midwest (Trump country) are freaking out now that...

Ballsy my sweet Irish ass. Look at the states with high income tax rates. All blue, each and every one. California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts. One man's "ballsy" is another man's payback.

Frankly, I'd rather trust economists than a supply side touting talk show host with a looooong history of being wrong about just about everything. Frankly, I have nothing in particular against Kudlow, no more than any other no nothing nobody. However, given Sharkman's penchant for citing him as...

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it must be a duck. Quack. "IF EVER ANYONE needed further proof that supply-side-ism is more theology than economics, and that the truth is not the Trump White House’s specialty, he or she need only consider the recent pronouncement of Larry Kudlow...

This guy on ESPN must be the world's biggest Yankee fan. He talks about the Yankees having an easier schedule, while ignoring several key points. In fact, the schedule favors the Red Sox. 1. The Yankees have four fewer off days remaining than do the Sox. When the dog days hit, those off days...

I watched Loaisiga pitch against the Phillies last week and he was very impressive. That said, he's never been listed among the top prospects and his numbers this year at AA were not impressive. The Yanks went to him in desperation and it's panned out so far. Other than Trenton, his minor league...

Your friend at ESPN omits quite a bit in this article. The Red Sox at the mid-point have the best record in baseball. Their starting pitching is better than the Yankees despite their having Stephen Wright and Drew Pomeranz on the DL. The Sox and Yankees have had almost mirror image offensive...

Sam, what you say is true on the coasts of North America. I think you'll find in "flyover" country that things have not changed as much as they have here. My son-in-law's mother is still not happy that he chose his own wife. Things in India are pretty much still the way they were. Same for...

It's not about survival instinct or evil intent. It is all about cultural conditioning. Up until quite recently, women were expected to stay at home, raise the kids, while the men did the providing, whether that means going to the office or off into the bush to do the hunting. That continues...

And many millions more who lead lives of quiet desperation, stuck in a marriage that soured long ago, but they stay in either for religious or financial reasons. You know the worst moment in most marriages? When the husband retires. I once had a job in a resort area that catered to bus trips...
