Re. The Thin Man. When they perfect time travel I'm going back and have a torrid affair with Myrna Loy.

A few points:

1. The jersey ratio won't begin to flip until Jones wins a championship.

2. A third party candidacy won't gain serious traction until it is based on something more than "I don't like the Rs or Ds." There needs to be a major issue the new party can claim to address that the existing parties are ignoring.

3. Cleveland did NOT fire Belichick. The scumbag owner of the Ratbirds fired him after the move to Baltimore.

4. Funny you should mention a musician named Cornell. Just a couple nights ago, something on TV reminded us of the Cornells who were tenants at the apartment complex I used to run. Feds raided their apartment because their son was a wanna-be terrorist named Christopher Cornell. He was arrested at a local gun store when he went to buy toys to carry out his plans to shoot POTUS during the SOTU speech! He didn't realize his online friend he was discussing his plans with was actually a Fed and not another true believer.

5. Journalism has always had issues reconciling urgency with accuracy. As to bias, that is as old as the industry. What is a fairly recent phenomena is bias being almost all one direction. 150 years ago, you had papers that were explicitly and openly supportive of one party or another. Now, they feign objectivity but 99% lean left.
