I missed it as well and checked my email and got an A+ for my draft, which made me laugh.  I got autodrafted TWO defenses for some reason.

During a natural disaster, a president has to be incredibly incompetent to screw up words of encouragement. I'm not saying this to be ugly, I honestly don't think he knows how to be empathetic. It's not in his DNA. He's not going to be hugging anyone, or comforting anyone. Obama was really good at that stuff. W. was an incredibly emotional guy. It was the first time I saw a president cry in public. Trump just doesn't know how. He can say something completely inappropriate, and not even understand what was wrong with it.

He's a narcassist that's why.  I didn't agree with W (policy wise) but I got the impression that he cared for people less fortunate than him.  Same with Obama.

Trump has also got the temperament and attention span of a five year old which doesn't help.

I watched Broadway Danny Rose last night. Mia Farrow is so amazing in it.

Where does this film land in the Woody Allen canon?  A classic or just good?

Wow.  I took a look at her Wikipedia page after seeing this. 

This part sounds brutal:

On 11 September 2002, Fredriksson complained of feeling unwell after jogging with her husband. She collapsed in a bathroom after becoming nauseous, with the impact of the fall fracturing her cranium. She then had an epileptic seizure.[10] Scans later indicated that she had a brain tumor in the back of her head.[11][12] The diagnosis led to the cancellation of Roxette's planned performance at the 2002 Night of the Proms concert series. After waiting several weeks for the fracture and resulting concussion to subside, she underwent successful surgery to remove the tumor. It proved to be malignant, and she endured months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.[13]

In January 2003, King of Sweden Carl Gustaf XVI awarded Roxette the 'Royal Medal with Blue Ribbon' award. Both Gessle and Fredriksson attended the ceremony, which was the first event Fredriksson appeared after her operation, and one of the very few public appearances she made over the next two years. Lasting effects of the tumour include her being permanently blinded in her right eye, as well as being unable to read or write. She was also unable to speak for a considerable period of time.[10] On 21 October 2005, Fredriksson conducted an interview with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, where she said: "It's been three very difficult years, [but] I'm healthy. I'm not receiving treatment any more."[14] In 2016, Roxette announced that their planned 30th anniversary tour had been cancelled, on the advice of Fredriksson's doctors.[15]

Then John Kelly, HR McMaster, Sessions & Tillerson stay where they are and are setup for a Pence Presidency. A pretty establishment group who's fairly middle of the road. Someone called that Pence chooses Rubio as Veep, and disaster aside, they might have a shot at winning the 2020 election, not entirely a long shot.

Pence will not win in 2020 as he is really dull and doesn't excite anyone.  He also might get caught up in the Russia scandal.

Cap could be a back up, but will he accept back up money?

Actually, he couldn't be a backup.  Those responsibilities are different from the starting qb.  He has to be able to run the  offense and he has shown no inclination of doing that at all.

Say what you will about Cutler, but he's a proven NFL qb.  Not top tier but you can win with him.

#847 Re: The Garden » Ric Flair in critical condition » 482 weeks ago

He had a bowel obstruction that required surgery.  Then his kidneys shut down due to the obstruction and is now undergoing dialysis.

He also needs another surgery in the upcoming weeks.

Always loved the Flair post rumble 1992 win interview/promo.

Oh I also had no idea that his current fiancee was Fifi the maid from his 1993 (or 1994) WCW promos.

I think congress gave up on healthcare. The whole 'Kill Obamacare' was just to win the election. Honestly they could just take Obama's name off it, rename it 'MuricaCare and people would be thrilled.

I think they'll pick it up again next year, and honestly try to patch it up & legitimately fix what's going wrong with it. If they can't, it can then later be used as a 2018 mid-terms get out the vote bit.

Congress is unlikely to touch this again.  They got too many angry town halls in RED states and districts.  Republicans (smart ones anyway) don't want to be stuck with "I cast a vote that left X million people w/out healhcare" in the 2018 election cycle.

Plus there are divisons within the Party anyway.  Some want a FULL REPEAL; others want  to fix whatever issues that Obamacare has.  It's just difficult to put together a bill that would satisfy all those groups.

Here's the part I don't get: if you know this is one of his (Undertaker) last matches why aren't you going with Cena-Undertaker instead?  Cena is stuck doing a pointless mixed tag match. 

And you know Reigns will get boooed out of the building when he wins.
