That's the FC I remember. Might as well just post under that name.

FC posts here under his own name.  That style of posting doesn't match FC's at all.  Maybe be more aware?   

As I look at the primary elections I see the stamp of the two parties all over everything.
The same corrupt clowns that dumped McCain and Romney on the GOP are working feverishly not to dump Don Trump on us right now, because the only thing they fear worse than losing the White House - again - is being out of power.
The same corrupt clowns that dumped Obama on America - twice -  are doing whatever it takes to make sure Hilary Clinton is the nominee no matter who wins the actual primaries. It's 2008 all over again for them.
Ted Cruz is hated by leftists because he refuses to play the political power games they live for.
Ted Cruz is hated by RINO republicans because he refuses to play their power games by their rules.
Bernie Sanders and John Kasich are just bystanders playing with themselves, thinking they are relevant right now.

We are at the tipping point, and actually may be beyond as we've had two or three generations of heavily leftist indoctrinated people now voting, and making policy.  The Progressive/liberals (Democrats) have succeeded in taking over education, government, and the media.  We have an uphill battle to retain what made America exceptional and drive people to WANT to come here.  Our business climate is already crap, and our freedoms are dwindling.  If Hillary gets elected we are DONE.

I wonder what the waist line and weight of the average AL pitcher is compared to the average NL pitcher who, as remote as it seems, may actually need to run a baseline every once in a while. 

Good question!  I dislike the DH, and enjoy when pitchers get hits, especially homers. 

Whatever. Would folks from 100 years ago recognize the country now? The only constant is change. Can't be worrying about what they might, or might not recognize in 40 years. There is a remote chance I will still be here then, so I'll remind them.

That's a pretty bad generalization.  When you take away the basic reasons people WANT to come here, then that's not just change that is extreme decline.  You're terribly wrong. 

There is an assault on our basic natural rights guaranteed by the Constitution which is being largely ignored by the courts.  If the Constitution doesn't matter anymore we are done. 

The picture of the average Trump voter is becoming clearer every day.

I thought he was talking about Cruz.

Ok, that was pretty impressive. I only remember seeing some of his videos, and thought that his gyrations were more acting than guitar playing, leading me to wonder if he was even playing it. I guess I was sorely mistaken.

I never watched his vids, nor listen to his music unless it was being played in a public place.  I didn't realize until a few years ago learned he was a very accomplished musician on many instruments, especially guitar.  I played guitar in bands for many years in my misspent youth, so I can tell the real deal. 

I've never understood the attraction to drugs, or alcohol for that matter.

Well alcohol is a drug, and be even more destructive than other "drugs" as it is so easily available. 

Really?  I had no idea he was held in such high esteem as a musician.

Yes, he is a fantastic guitarist, and pianist.  He probably played several other instruments.  I just learned on Fox that both his parents were professional musicians.  His style was just not aligned with mine.  When he played straight rock on his guitar, no one could touch him.
