    Michael, why has Mark Burnett not spoken up then? His brand and reputation have been crushed. Sure he has money, but you can't put a price on respect.

    I hid in a closet with Mooshi Patella, our department skeleton. Of course, Kellyanne got it wrong. The Bowling Green Massacre occurred one Fall semester when we pissed off one of the archaeologists and the next test we had to take consisted of writing out from memory the dental arcades of every protohominid known at that time. We finished and then went en masse to the nearest Taco Bell and cried.

    I am sorry. It is compensation because so many there default to the idea that everyone else is looking down on them. (I think this is true of a lot of red states.)
    BTW, Horwitz's "Confederates in the Attic" is brilliant. Even though it's 22 years old, not very much has changed. For those who aren't familiar with it: Confederates in the Attic - Tony Horwitz

    Dear God, I love that man.

    I went to a dine-in theater a few years ago, the seats hadn't been cleaned of the previous night's dinner. I needed a wipe the size of a bedsheet before sitting in those gross recliners again.

    Burnett wants to play the Good Christian card and he doesn't want to lose his base.

    Yeah, we can't be confident or anything.
    No can do.
    No no no.

    I'm not sure if I trust that pollster yet - 538 doesn't have a grade on them, which usually means they're a newer outlet. But the other polls they added today - One has Biden +2. The other 10 have Biden up nationally from between 8 and 14 points. They're national polls, which is obviously of less value than individual state polls, but Trump is trending in the wrong direction here.

    Mark Burnett is a Trumpist. Pretty simple, really. He shuts up because he believes what Trump believes. He also doesn't need to create a single new show to stay absurdly rich. He's not a potential competitor to others in his business the way a new network would be for Fox News.

    My apologies because I was off this board for awhile at one point, but whatever happened to YankeeFan and Old Tony?
