Vida Blue vs Johnny Bench in the 1971 All Star Game. Very few people have ever hit a ball at Tiger Stadium where Bench does here. A colossal blast!

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

The Pete Rose skit from Saturday Night Live. Why did the directors make rain man randomly say “Pete Rose 330”? He never hit .330

As a Purdue fan I know better than to overhype recruits/classes like I’ve seen done in Bloomington for years…

Buuuuuuuut

Allowing Matt Painter to get two top 40 guys in his 2027 class seems dangerous.

Matt Painter and the Boilermakers land one of the top point guards in the 2027 class in four-star Kevin Savage III, @KayserHoops reports.

Savage III chose Purdue over UCLA, Auburn and Georgia amongst others. #27 prospect in the @SCNext 100.

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

John Krasinski says he and Steve Carell needed 17 takes just to speak while filming Steve’s final scene on The Office

"When Steve left, that was actually the last scene of Steve’s last day, and I didn’t realize that until later"

"So I go in to do this scene, and it just hit me. You were in the room with Steve, and he had been really quiet all day, very sweet but very quiet. I think we knew that this was it"

"We rolled, and I remember the director telling me it was 17 takes before we got one word out. There were a lot of retouches. I think that scene took like four and a half hours"

[Leah Rain ✝️🇺🇸🎸🏝️ @LeahRain77]

This is Sandra J. Doorley, District Attorney of Monroe County NY. In 2024 She was pulled over for going 55 in a 35.
Instead of pulling over she drives to her home. The officer follows her. She refuses to comply with him and proceeds to call his boss instead . She is heard saying she "doesn't care" that she was speeding, and further she "will prosecute herself and rip up the ticket"

Yes, there are many good police officers and
prosecutors out there, but this is an example of why we have a problem in this country. She later plead guilty to the ticket and paid the fine however, once people saw the officer's body cam footage they wanted her to resign. She refused and instead, Gov Hochul censured her .. BIG DEAL 🙄

The teen who got out of a stolen vehicle and shot a Chicago USPS worker in cold blood while she was delivering mail, killing her, was just sentenced to 5 years in juvenile detention.

FIVE YEARS!

And with good behavior, he could be out in as little as 3 and a half years.

Our justice system is BROKEN!

When John Williams watched SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993), he was so moved by the film that he stepped outside to collect himself.

He told Steven Spielberg, “You need a better composer than I am for this film.”

Spielberg replied, “I know. But they’re all dead.”
