That's it for judicial appointments for the rest of Biden's term, though. Republicans will block any nominees to the Judiciary Committee to replace her.Quote:

I think they would. Mitch needs retire too, before he dies in office. Weekend at Feinsteins indeed.Quote:

She's really smart. She'd make a terrific senator.
You don't understand. Under a normal political climate, they wouldn't do it because it wouldn't be necessary.Quote:

Dick Butkus, fearsome Hall of Fame Chicago Bears linebacker, dies at 80

The Butkus news prompted me to consider who might be the best middle linebackers of all time. This list seems like a plausible ranking, but it also makes me think that if your best player is a middle linebacker, then your team sucks (Mike Singletary and Ray Lewis are exceptions, and perhaps Derrick Brooks, who is not on that list but probably should be)
they did a short piece tonight on TNF about him. And they won one for him too.
Says as much about the Commanders as the Bears
Hmmm, I agree on all counts!Quote:

Yeah, but he was an edge rusher. We're talking Monsters of the Midway here!Quote:

Olympic gymnastics champion Mary Lou Retton is in intensive care with pneumonia.
I saw her on a commercial recently and was shocked at how old she looked.

Burt Young -- the former real-life boxer who went on to play Rocky Balboa's brother-in-law Paulie in the "Rocky" franchise -- passed away in Los Angeles on Oct. 8, his daughter told The New York Times, noting that his cause of death is currently unknown. He was 83. Burt, a former Marine, launched his acting career in the late '60s. He went on to appear in "M*A*S*H," "Little House on the Prairie," "Chinatown" and "Serpico." But it was his role in "Rocky" -- for which he scored an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor -- that made him a star.
Following his death, many top names in Hollywood publicly paid tribute to the late actor.
Semper Fi, Devil.
