What kind of mascot is an 'Ascender'? Sounds like a car model.........................

How can a team have half a win? Looks like a lot of ties in the HCC.

https://www.cato.org/blog/farm-bill-palooza What can we do about it? The official baseline for the farm bill this year is $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Farm bill leaders in Congress think of the baseline as the minimum pot of money they can carve up and handout to dozens of special‐interest groups in coming months. But the federal government is hurtling toward a debt crisis, and business as usual is not acceptable. The bipartisan debt‐ceiling deal passed in May reflected a new priority of controlling red ink. We need belt‐tightening all around and a much lower price tag than $1.5 trillion for any farm legislation. These Farm Bills are indeed about the biggest pieces of pork the federal government has passed out.

Hypocrite much Joe?

In the end it's all about the Benjamins......................

https://reason.com/2023/07/11/confidence-in-higher-education-reaches-new-low/ I don't recommend a college education as a first option to most young people anymore. Instead a trade school, like for electricians, automotive technicians, HVAC, etc. are all a highly viable option.

Yeah, but wasn't your 5th grade teacher teaching Ye Olde English, not the New English? 🙂

He was last year's coach. Can't remember if he was retained.

Nope.

This may be the best commercial for a local business I have ever seen:

Police Seized Innocent People's Property and Kept It for Years. What Will the Supreme Court Do? https://reason.com/2023/07/11/police-seized-innocent-peoples-property-and-kept-it-for-years-what-will-the-supreme-court-do/ This is basically legalized theft perpetrated by law enforcement against the people they are sworn to protect and serve. The SCOTUS should strike down the whole sordid business.

Frankfort at Clinton Central. Should be a barn burner....................

https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/07/08/top-stories/former-nu-football-player-details-hazing-allegations-after-coach-suspension/ Disgusting. Mr. Fitzgerald at the very least should be fired, and probably most of his staff as well.

No, I'm not. I honestly don't understand the dilemma regarding the situation Bobref described. I guess I don't agree in Bobref's scenario that the football team is "School B's team". The idea behind a co-op is that neither school A or school B can field a football team on it's own, hence the need to cooperate. It would be 'School A+B's team" would it not?

Ok. I don't understand the conflict in such a situation. Two completely different sports.

Supreme Court to Biden: You Can't Just Forgive $400 Billion in Student Loan Debt Without Asking Congress https://reason.com/2023/06/30/supreme-court-to-biden-you-cant-just-forgive-400-billion-in-student-loan-debt-without-asking-congress/ Nice to see the SCOTUS finally trying to rein in the abuse of power rampant in the Executive Branch. Now if only the Legislative Branch would do it's job.... And it looks like they will get their chance to shine, according to Mr. Biden's new scheme: https://apnews.com/article/student-loans-biden-democrats-gop-campaign-2024-37c7a2c3dbd38dc4bf53c3333413bcd7

When Mr. Biden first took office there was some talk about expanding the SCOTUS, and he said he didn't support that. I wonder if these recent defeats will change his mind?

It's all political, it has to be. Therefore it is all Trump's fault.

Not I. And the placement of that bulldog logo on CN's helmets is stupid, IMHO.

https://reason.com/2023/06/29/supreme-court-on-affirmative-action-eliminating-racial-discrimination-means-eliminating-all-of-it/ It is interesting to contrast the opinions of Mr. Thomas and Ms. Jackson. From a newsletter I subscribe to:

Which is stupid, frankly. It should allow co-ops, like our neighbors to the west do, and with much success. This is what allows the students at a public school like the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities, which has no athletic programs at all, to play on the athletic teams at Muncie Burris.
