This guy is quite a piece of work.
A ‘massive explosion’ sounded like ‘a bomb going off.’
Not sure I would say, WTF to that.
The people who know him best.
it must have been that bean I had for dinner
“Costs went up 21 + 23 + 28 = 72% but we’re only increasing our prices by 40%! The consumer is clearly winning!!”

A guy called in to local talk radio 2 or 3 years ago and complained that the 5-8% (can’t remember the exact number) inflation being reported was BS. He pointed to a bunch of individual items that were up by 10%, 25%, 18%, etc. added them together and said the real inflation was 214%
This is bringing back memories of AO and MTS pointing to Mish and arguing that the real inflation rate if properly calculated was 15 to 20%

What a moron. Clearly he didn’t up add up all the items in his shopping cart. When I add up everything I buy my inflation works out to 1768% and most people probably have more than that.

There’s a Topps trading card for the Pope!
What are his stats?
Has a better OBP than any of his cardinals (much better than the St. Louis one).
This is not how you tow a car.

Honestly I’m not sure where to put this but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised:

Summary
The Washington Post
The Department of Homeland Security is vetting a pitch for a reality television show in which immigrants would compete against one another for U.S. citizenship.
The proposed reality show, first reported by the Daily Mail, “is in the very beginning stages of that vetting process and has not received approval or denial by staff,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told The Washington Post in an email.
McLaughlin added that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem has not reviewed the proposal.
The reality competition series was pitched by Rob Worsoff, a Canadian-born writer and producer who was behind A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” and Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker.” Worsoff, who could not be reached for comment Friday, told the Wall Street Journal that he has not had direct contact with Noem but has had positive feedback from the federal agency and is in preliminary discussions with networks.
“This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” Worsoff told the newspaper, referring to the dystopian fictional novel by Suzanne Collins, in which contestants fight to the death for survival. “This is not, ‘Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country.’”
Instead, according to a pitch deck obtained by the Daily Mail, each episode of the proposed show would feature a “heritage challenge,” an “elimination challenge,” a “town hall meeting” and a “final vote.” Twelve immigrant contestants would arrive on a boat at Ellis Island and travel around the United States in a train called “The American” – also the proposed name of the show – to learn about the nation’s history.
Along the way, contestants would compete in supposedly quintessentially American challenges like mining for gold in San Francisco, logrolling in Wisconsin, and assembling the chassis for a Model T Ford in Detroit, according to the Daily Mail.
The final episode would feature one “winner” being sworn in as an American citizen on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, according to the pitch. The proposal also listed actors Sofia Vergara, Ryan Reynolds or Mila Kunis as potential hosts for the show, as they are naturalized citizens of the United States. Reynolds was never consulted about the show, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his projects.
Unbelievable. Unfortunately, it would probably be a hit.
Do the losers get sent to El Salvador?
