    Well, West Virginia is the one 100% will change hands seat. so that gets us to 50-50 ... I think all polling shows Montana with a big enough lead that it most likely becomes 51-49. I tend to think that is the likely split. Allred has run a good race and is a much better candidate in Texas...

    I think trying to predict anything is next to impossible. The only thing that seems like a reasonable bet is the Republicans will get to 51 in the Senate (West Virginia is a sure thing and Montana is really likely). But even if they pick up another seat or two, there are enough moderates and...

    Paul Di'Anno

    Beyond a stray song here and there, I was never much of a fan of his post Maiden stuff and I do not think he did himself many favors with his live performances over the past decade or so. All that said, without him Maiden would not be the Maiden we all know and love and as much as I always...

    I went to see this last night. Incredibly cool. A really good movie to see if you have not seen it. But the live orchestra and new score made for a really nice experience. Highly recommended if this comes near you

    Incredibly sad news from Columbus Blue Jackets star forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, died Thursday night, the team said. Police said they were killed while biking Thursday night in Oldmans Township, New Jersey, close to their hometown in Salem County, New Jersey.

    They were fine bringing in Perry (though not really sure exactly what he did ... beyond the rumors) and the skating dumpster fire that is Evander Kane .. so guess this was the perfect landing spot

    Oilers hired Bowman as GM interesting give a) the Beach scandal and b) his record towards the end of his tenure was pretty poor with some horrible trades and signings

    More TV than cinema, but RIP to Bob Newhart. Star of 2 incredibly popular shows (The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart) Legend is a term thrown around too much IMO .. Newhart actually was one. Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, his comedy. Yes I will actually admit to liking Big Bang Theory and he was...

    If they are going to do it .. the sooner the better. I think it has to be next week or they are riding with Joe (not that anyone except Biden really has a say in this)

    I think it is a pretty good pick ... if anything it further helps set up the next election to not be between geriatrics

    USA Politics

    A majority of voters (67%) said President Biden should step aside as the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll published Thursday. I think it is possible he can change the narrative somewhat and improve those numbers, but the issue is that will...

    Regarding the interview .. he was fine .. the "no I don't think so" answer to "Did you watch the debate" seems squirmy .. but Biden has always been that way In any case .. he did fine, but I don't think good enough to stop the bleeding or turn the narrative We are up to 5 Dem reps calling on...

    I think they are better than bottom 5 .. their primary problems last year (well, they were virtually everything) ... but they shored up the D, really improved their goaltending (sonderblom was awful and hopefully can re-find his game, he shows some promise to at least be a good backup) and they...

    Safe to say the Hawks tanking days are over. I generally liked their signings (and add Hall coming back from injury), I think it was maybe 1 forward and 1 d-man too many .. but I could see them slip into an 8 seed if a lot goes right and they stay relatively healthy. That said, if they fall...
