...or an election like this? We're really in uncharted territory...

we are very proud of them here in CT.

...New Haven area...my Dad was Sports Editor of the UConn paper in 1949-50, a fan of UConn his whole life. He died in 1977, but would have been thrilled to see our state become a national basketball power...

--but live in Orange now. I envy you. If I could live anywhere in the area, it would be Westville...

and it would be a mistake to judge him that way.

Fuck those who profoundly dishonored our nation by voting for this dysfunctional buffoon for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. They disgrace their citizenship, and if I could give them 6 months of the government they like to claim we have I would.

Cudos!

He is dirt and filth...

the actual word was "cur"- with a soft 'c'

USA just won the 1500m for the first time ever . Fugg Don the Con!

For the first time ever, an American won the women's triathlon this afternoon.

The U.S.A. has almost twice the number of medals as the the country that is second in the medals count. Such a bunch of losers!

Not athletes in the Olympics. In that case, he is kinda right. Blue collar workers aren't winning anymore. What he neglects to say, is that it's mostly due to Republican economic policies which drove all the wealth to the top and expanded income inequality.

The point is that their talents were nurtured largely in our state's institution of higher education.

Paul Krugman writes extensively on the plight of blue collar workers. It's a confluence of economic and political power. His recent think piece in NY Review of Books explains it in depth: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2015/12/17/robert-reich-challenging-oligarchy/

I have never worked so hard in a course (grad school) as the Econ course. I wish I had had Krugman's course but I learned enough to make it through his think pieces...

ass kicking by the US women's basketball team. In fact, U.S. athletes have rolled right over their competition at this Olympics. As for Trump, some people just want to see the world burn.

Those ladies rock! As a pretty fair gal hoopster in my day I salute them.

The other nations are closing the gap on our men but not our women.

So go to Hell little hands Donald!!
