You know, this is just sick. Regardless of political affiliation, there's no need to stoop to this level of partisan pettiness when it comes to young kids. I hope some punk teenagers egged this woman's house that night.

How do you know other people didn't do this to republicans? That's a really silly view to decide on things said on the news/internet. You should go with the candidate that best represents you, not the one you heard less bad things about.

its not your point of giving or not giving out candy, its your point of it being within your rights to choose who you are going to give candy to. its runs counter to the whole idea of halloween as a community celebration. sure its within your rights, this is not a question of constitutionality. its one of being a member of a community. and no, folks would not be laughing if democrats did this.

It's not illegal or unconstitutional, merely inappropriately partisan and shallow. But, here is an example of how the new media has altered the American political landscape. We have blogs, YouTube, social networking sites, and all the other Internet outposts for gathering and spreading information that either didn't exist four years ago, or whose significance as a tool for grassroots politics had been unrealized before now. Because of these resources, anyone who is a supporter of a political candidate must understand that they cannot assume their words or actions will languish in isolation. When people do things as asinine as this, it spreads like wildfire, and it isn't just a poor reflection on those individuals, but on everyone supports a certain candidate; in return, it makes the candidate him/herself look bad.

I'm glad that st0wgolf08 volunteered to offer the kind of responses I was hoping for. Conservative Republicans have been able to use this sort of crude "liberal straw man" humor effectively in the last two decades, first through talk radio programs and then the chain e-mail. These arguments could work in the past because the process of verifying the information they spread ad nauseum used to be so slow and complicated that their words eventually muddled in with the truth. That doesn't work anymore, because the organizational structure of the new media is so strong that any claim can be fact-checked, and any shorthanded message be elaborated, within minutes. Jokes that enforce blanket generalizations of people of a certain persuasion don't resonate when there's nothing behind the generalization. Saying that an opponent is guilty of the same indiscretions only makes the messenger look worse when no concrete examples of the act are forthcoming.

Please pay attention. he did not claim this did not happen to Republican children nor did he critique Republican candy distributors. He took an anecdotal to show how immature bi-partisanship is, whether the woman is Republican or Democrat does not matter. You missed the point here and instead of seeing the absurdity of this you let your ego get the better on you and spouted nonsense, you seriously must be laughing at yourself for defending your womans actions. Just because what she did was legal does not make it morally mature. Please grow up if you agree with the behavior depicted in this video.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
