Krazy Krab needs an honorable mention. I know he is not official, but coming out of banishment to goon Stomper in the big wheel race — a 100 percent surprise — was a showstopping return. The 30-for-30 short on Krab was exceptional, too.

You are spot on about what the most important races are; the only thing I can add is, look at how motivated (and disciplined) Republican voters are there, in turnout, compared to Democrats. There are simply more red meat voters in Congressional races for the GOP, where the Ds turn out for president either to thwart… Read more

I disagree with the characterization of voter motivation but mainly in a semantic way. It is definitely a negative statement of self, and certainly not a desire for the president to represent the nation but either to impugn, deny or thwart the opposition party more than it is to advance a policy.

Now, this is…

And hey, how have those special elections for replacement seats been going? No one cares if you lose 50-48 or 70-29; a loss is a loss. Read more

God knows how much redundant sports infrastructure has been built going back 20 years. Pick one of those cities and use that to host your fucking toe-touching contests no one cares about otherwise. Read more

OK, you’re right. It is more serious than the brush-off I gave it. I’ll walk that back. Read more

Sometimes it’s a pain in the ass but I like having one.

Also, King Missile came to our college radio station right after this thing hit it big (or, as big as it could hit it) and I got them to sign a poster and screamed like a little girl at a Beatles concert. Read more

Given how much I use it, this is total hypocrisy, but Twitter is a bunch of comments in search of a story. Read more

The only thing more embarrassing than that swing is the nicknames of both teams involved. Read more

Any Farnsworth fight was appointment TV. But Pierzynski getting clobbered was catharsis. Dead heat. Read more

Pence and co.’s theatrics in containing Strickland is probably the greatest bro-assist in the history of “hold me back so I don’t get my ass kicked actually fighting” Read more

You want to hate all Germans, go ahead, it’s your life. Don’t expect much sympathy though. Read more

Oh yeah. There was a lot of winking in the copy, but still very lyrical. Read more

It’s an almost indispensable component of online writing, but it’s a disaster waiting to happen. I’ve shot my dick off repeatedly. Read more

Ah, now I get it. Thanks. Read more

Deford wrote many vivid and enjoyable things but when he talked about his beloved Baltimore Colts, I would get tingly.

So, I don’t buy Frei’s cop-out that… Read more

Yeah. I have no idea if that’s an autocorrect, spoken word screwup or a nonsequitur or what. Read more

Wonder how he feels about Germany? Just for consistency’s sake, of course. Read more
