This may be worthy of a groan, too.   But more on that later, perhaps.

On January and February Saturday afternoons in the ’70s, I had almost as much fun following the antics of coaches like Lou Carnesecca at St. John’s, Rollie Massimino at Villanova and Jim Valvano at Iona on the sideline as I did watching the action on the court in locally televised, pre-Big East college basketball games.

Nobody, including Bob Knight, wore a sweater better.

I was at SJU his last year and worked in the Financial Aid Office. He would stop by every now and then. He was such a nice guy. RIP.

Got QB yesterday. Started early, put it aside most of the day and went back late at night to finish it.

The sky is blue - do you need a source?

I need a source for the material you posted. 

LOL - why?

Why are you so reluctant to give me the source?  This has been a pattern recently.

Actually, just give me the source.  

Can you not google "Robert Mueller report pdf"?

https://www.justice.gov/storage/report_volume1.pdf

https://www.justice.gov/storage/report_volume2.pdf

Or "senate report on russian meddling in 2016 pdf" ?

Does everything need to be pre-digested in video form?

There is no evidence of Russian collusion/involvement/compromise, etc.  in the Muller report. 

If you wrote that you were unconvinced by the evidence, that'd be one thing. But to say that there is no evidence shows that you did not read the report.

An interesting read - Why do we kiss, and where has it come from?

The evolutionary origin of human kissing -

Further discussion on the subject from The Guardian -
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/dec/01/why-do-we-kiss-i-am-not-sure-we-have-anything-close-to-an-explanation

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply...

It seems to be something some animals do. I'm not sure if a cat licking your cheek or mouth, is a kiss but dogs also consider it a sign of affection. Birds go beak to beak, although feeding is tossed in and not sure if that qualifies. 

Is this a kiss? You have to admit it's very deer.

Unlike Russiagate, which is said to have had deep penetration into our highest government office, the war in Ukraine supposedly occurred one day unprovoked when Putin woke up in a bad mood. Both stories are false and related and believed by the same people. Russiagate made propaganda about Ukraine possible. 

Another fluff piece by nan with zero substance - post any of your pundits criticizing the number of Russians dying at the call of Vlad.  They're dying by the tens of thousands due to Vlad media propaganda.  But you and your "experts" never want to highlight anything that's being said within Russia.  Why the constant Vlad protection, normalization and blame game on the west?

This thread is about Russiagate, which was a hoax.  Do you still believe that one is true, as you still believe the war was unprovoked?

I'm starting to wonder if maybe you just don't know what the word "hoax" means.

that would explain a lot.

Biden acted within the law (U.S. Const. art. II, § 2, cl. 1).
