I have always thought it would be fun to have definitive measure of the signature item of each stadium - like garlic fries in SF, fish tacos in SD, brats in WI. So, if brats are 16% of sales in WI compared to 2% of sales nationwide - it's measure would be an 8. How does that compare nationwide.

I asked everyone I could at the rally I was at, and no one could tell me where to sign up for my check.

Being a member of the Economics and Accounting Department at my college, I even filled out a W-9 ahead of time!

So, they screwed up the stadium design in a way that prevents any large concerts.

That being said, no large concerts were going there anyways. No real band wants to play outdoors at a MiLB park when venues like Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston or even Indian Ranch in Webster are available.

If only Al Gore instead of GWB had been appointing SC Justices in the 2000s…

Even if the WNBA has racked up operating losses of $500 million, the Mohegan Tribe alone has just earned a $315M capital gain by buying the CT Sun for $10M in 2003 and receiving a $325M bid to sell them this summer.

That alone covers over 1/2 of the league's "losses."

What I can't believe is legal is a government appointee using his role as director of the FHFA to target political opponents by selectively investigating Democratic lawmakers and appointees.

Imagine the outcry if Obama or Biden had done that to Republicans.

Nope. Huge stadium subsidy for Boston’s new NWSL team.

I’ll try to think of some others…

If NFL stadiums cause great neighborhoods, why does the current neighborhood next to the new stadium need to be revitalized? It's been next to an NFL stadium for almost 30 years?

We’ll invite you to a seminar at Holy Cross sometime, and grab one afterwards.

Hah! Almost just stopped by Treehouse on my way home from Worcester. So add,
