Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.
@LFC my wife she has been most vocal on the subject.
When are you announcing the Wirtz, why aren't you announcing the Wirtz now, when are you going to get the Wirtz.
And so on.
So please...
The Wirtz
Shot some craps for first time this trip. Busted on my 2nd roll. Dude derisively says “Nice roll Blues Clues.” Heading to my room to weep at the most cutting put down I’ve ever received in my life.
Hugely grateful to Keanu Reeves. To stand by me in so public a way risks the hatred of archaeologist zealots who believe that only they have the right to interpret the past and who leverage the media to vilify alternative voices. Season 2 launches 16 Oct.

Tim Walz, in a speech today in Philadelphia, brayingly questioned the idea that midwesterners who go to Ivy League schools (and then become writers) are real "middle Americans." His calculated heartland philistinism brought roars of Philadelphian approval. But as a rural midwestern writer who went to just such a school and is married to another midwestern writer who went to such a school (after both attending public schools growing up), I was unimpressed by the whole act.
