I’m just one guy, but I’m a lifelong baseball fan, and if MLB causes a baseball park to be built in a national park, they’ll never get another dime of my money.

That one play in the Texas-Tennessee game is a perfect summary of the state of college football right now.

Had a thought this afternoon: I've bought copies of Band on the Run on vinyl, cassette, 8-track, and CD. Anyone else have an album like that?

All this time I thought Susan Collins was just incredibly stupid, but I was wrong--it turns out that she's a crook, too.

For the last three weeks, the high temperature in my town has been 94 degrees or above. The lowest low temperature was 74. At night. In September. But, yeah, we have other stuff to worry about.

Supposed to go tomorrow to try to recruit high school juniors to come to my university, and I somehow have to do it without disclosing my doubt that society is going to exist long enough for them to finish a degree. Wish me luck!

What’s going on at #NPR? Do you think we won’t listen to a news story if you don’t give it jokey framing as a game show, or do you think your listeners are just too dumb to understand it otherwise? Maybe just tell me the news?

People don't really understand how evolution works. There's no instinct, no evolutionary imperative, for survival of the species. There's only pressure for survival of genes. So, we're doomed. Greed for power, money, and sex trumps (word chosen advisedly) good sense every time.

Trump is not sending anyone five thousand dollars. If this cynical fake bribe works, it will prove that America is too stupid to survive.

If we’re going to change the names of lakes, let’s change the Great Salt Lake to “Lake Trump.” It’s not going to be around much longer, but will leave a fetid toxic mess that takes decades to clean up.

Remember when Trump decided that we were all going to start calling the Gulf of Mexico “Gulf of America?” How’d that go? It must be sad to be President of the United States and have nobody pay attention to your bloviation.

We were in Nashville a couple of weeks ago, and the Country Music Hall of Fame had a really nice exhibit on Dolly's career. It only made us love her more, and it's hard to believe that we could. Dolly was everything a human should be--kind, smart, generous, funny, and could sing a bit.

Dashcam footage of a recent PIT maneuver by Arkansas State Police shows a trooper sending a speeding car careening into a third vehicle, seriously injuring the third car's two elderly occupants. It's a bad look, even for an agency that traffics in bad looks.

A new poll shows Trump's approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. Understand what that means--you *have* to vote Democratic in the mid-terms. Don't like the candidate? Doesn't matter. The more Democrats in the House and Senate, the less damage Trump can do. Hold your nose and vote!

The world is undergoing the “demographic transition.” As the female education rate increases, the birth rate drops. It comes down to this—if you love coral reefs or scarlet tanagers, you have to fight for women’s rights. The fact that it’s the right thing to do should also figure into your choices.

When someone threatens that "a whole civilization will die tonight" and that someone is the President of the United States, it's up to the cabinet members to do as they've sworn to do and invoke the 25th Amendment. Having a madman with his finger on the button has to stop. #civilizationwilldie.
