    I think it's fair to say that Howie Schwab was the first celebrity sports stats/info type guy.  He was big on ESPN...even to the point of them trying a sports trivia show called Stump the Schwab.  He was part of the first of the big purges at ESPN back in 2013, but continued to be valuable behind the scenes in other ways (including being Fox's NCAA bracketologist for a couple years, which I hadn't known.)

    He died, apparently of a heart attack, Monday.  Age 63.

    Whine.  A lot.  And claim conspiracy.  A lot.  Basically, live in complete denial and refuse to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions.
     
    And I truly wish it was an "extremely high possibility" as you state, but have my serious doubts.

    A very good description of Donald Trump. Also fits well within the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. At the time Van Vogt came up with his "Right Man" definition, NPD was probably not widely known outside the medical community, if it had even been diagnosed yet.
     
    Per that Mayo Clinic description of NPD symptoms, note, "Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure," and, "Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail." Donald Trump's massive ego is also an overcompensation for massive insecurity.

    After Thanksgiving, when the turkey pieces-parts are on sale, I get a bunch of legs so I can make turkey tamales for Thanksgaming.   I sub out the lard for coconut oil since the hubby refuses to do red meat in any form...including lard. 😕

    I am relieved that it looks like we're finally getting aid to Ukraine again. I'm also annoyed that most Tennessee Congressmen seem to be on the Pro - Putin bandwagon. I called mine's office weeks ago, and clearly it did no good.

    This is an article by Kevin D. Williamson of The Dispatch.   It was behind a paywall so I'm reposting it without permission.  Makes an excellent point, I think.
