This site is called the Hoosier. Two Hoosiers are getting to campaign with both candidates. I think that's pretty cool.

I’m predisposed to like her but the few episodes of her podcast I’ve listened to were excruciating. Not funny. Not insightful. Not a whole lot running around upstairs.

“Corporate media threw me out on my butt because I’m not woke” only gets you so far.

Say what you will about Tucker, but he’s a master conversationalist and entertaining as hell.

Megyn Kelly is crushing it since she’s gone independent because unbeknownst to everyone she wasn’t just a hottie reading a teleprompter. She has stuff to say.

Sage just doesn’t have it unfortunately.

I feel a very high degree of confidence that this day will never come.

Again, the arguments against Roe were well-founded — because the arguments for it were easy targets.

As I’ve asked many times about Roe, how often did you come across somebody who defended that decision by citing the grounds and reasoning? For me, it was rare. What I almost exclusively saw were arguments for the outcome and its ramifications - basically an appeal on the merits of abortion being legal and any restrictions against it being undesirable, cruel, misogynistic, paternalistic, etc.

So I think you’re comparing apples to oranges. Doing away with Roe wasn’t really all that heavy of a lift. There were gobs of legal scholars who made well-constructed arguments against it, over decades.

I’ve seen a legal argument made on behalf of fetal personhood. But it was flimsy and incoherent - and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I haven’t seen other ones.

I saw Mullins at the football game Saturday. Maybe a good sign?

And gradually over time you and your boss will take on different jobs, the manner of which we probably can’t even conceive of yet.

Wrong. Plan accordingly. The experience yesterday was what it's like at a like at any big time college football game.

Yesterday was a major improvement over the normal every other year OSU sellout. The problem IU fans have is you now need to plan on watching the football game. Get a beer and hit the restroom early and make dash during the action, not 10 minutes before kickoff or at halftime. This is a culture shift. It's no longer about luring fans into the game.

I know it had cleared some by late 3rd quarter but the folks sitting next to us got up to beat the beer cutoff and surprised me by returning to their seats in just a few minutes.

Having attended the Cincy game a few years ago, this seemed much better.

Remember when I asked if anyone here wanted to go in on a suite in the SEZ? Pretty sure I posted it twice. No one here took me up on it. After reading the issues you all experienced yesterday, I am realizing how spoiled my crew is. Shelter, heated and/or cooled, private bar, private restrooms, free food with a different menu each week. No fuss at all regardless how big the crowd gets. 🙌

You don’t know how long I thought about buying in but the 4.5 hour drive was too much a deterrent.

Doubtful. Back when essentially the entire population farmed for a living it was impossible to imagine anyone having a job with industrial farming.

Creative destruction growing the job market is undefeated and you’d be foolish to bet against it.

So who are the judges being put on courts who subscribe to this theory, such that abortion will be deemed unconstitutional within a decade?

Because AI doesn't just replace the grunts. It also replaces the people who organize the grunts, as well as the people who manage the organizers, and ultimately, the people who set policy for the managers. With truly competent AI, no jobs are necessary.

Man, Memorial Stadium is not setup for a sellout crowd. The East concourse was gridlock the entire game. If you need to piss or a beer or food, plan on missing over half a quarter.

However, I’m not gonna complain. It is awesome to see the crowd. Just drink something besides beer before the game so you don’t have to use the bathroom.

You know Fox was hoping for a Husker win. Draw in IU an untapped fan base for a weekend, then have 2 classic teams.

I don’t think it’s a misconception at all. I think the misconception is that they don’t.

Even Antonin Scalia poured a bucket of cold water on this notion. And he was probably the most outspoken opponent of abortion to have sat on the court.

I'm as near a free speech absolutist as you can reasonably be, but I don't understand why our military alliances/foreign policy should be affected by other nation's commitment to that principle.

Germany, for example, has outlawed Nazi speech that would never fly here:

Germany’s Laws on Antisemitic Hate Speech and Holocaust Denial

A look at Germany's changing laws on hate speech and Holocaust denial, in light of the FRONTLINE documentary "Germany's Neo-Nazis & the Far Right."

www.pbs.org

Should we distance ourselves from them because of this? I don't think so, even though I would fight to defend a person's right in the US to say those things without govt. censorship, even if I despise and vehemently disagree with the substance.

On other issues/values, though, I think it's worth questioning how much aid we should give to foreign governments that oppress their own people (see the Middle East, South America, etc.).

It should have been noted from the beginning that both Snarl and Cernovich were unable to distinguish between "Western" values and "American" values.

You are operating under the misconception that judges and legal scholars follow some sort of rigid logical process. They do not. Things change. All the best SCOTUS decisions in history were radical when they were written. Fetal personhood will be radical when it is written, too.

If they're going with a Mellencamp song, R O C K in the USA has a lot more energy to get a crowd engaged...IMHO.
