    A few years ago, Kentucky had a defensive lineman who had been all-state as a seventh grader. I think they've changed the rules since.

    I don't know if this was the case with Kentucky, but like Tennessee has a one-roof rule where if the grade was in the same building as the high school, then they could play. So you'd see kids who had been all-state for five years or whatever.

    If a junior high kid can hang athletically with the varsity, I don’t have a problem with them playing. I have a problem with 19-20 year olds who were otherwise destined to start at the 10-minute oil change place running it back for an extra year. Among many other nightmares, has Kentucky figured out who is going to teach these extra students and where, since I’m sure they will all be diligent about class attendance?

    This is a pretty strange proposal from people hoping to regain the majority in 23 months.

    OK, the GQP has convinced me that Potato Head is better than no head at all.

    Maybe it's just me, but is what the progressives are asking Harris to do, bypass the Senate parlimentarian and put the $15/hr. minimum wage in the stimulus bill, similar to what Trump was asking Pence to do and set aside the Electoral College vote?

    Not only does Kentucky not have a one-roof rule, a kid(’s parents) can choose to play for a school that child would not eventually attend under the feeder system. No commitment until ninth grade.

    When I was working in Kentucky, one of the local high schools had a sophomore girl point guard who had been starting in that position since seventh grade.

    Cripes, was it even one of the good Dr. Seuss books? I mean, we had a Dr. Seuss sermon series in church a year or two ago and one of them was from "McElligott's Pool," which I'd never even heard of. I took a turn in that stretch and did "Yertle the Turtle," for the record.

    Cuomo appears to be doing about a 5/8ths Swaggart. The guy signing has the full Cruz beard going.

    There’s no one more subservient and without self-esteem than mike pense. His boss tried to have him killed and he’s publicly fellating him.
