@DanRosZiff @Reuters @TheJusticeDept @AGoudsward @janawinter Great news!

@JamesSurowiecki So what happened to the Earth's tides? Was there massive flooding? I need to know!

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

Last night after 5 years of being retired from politics, I was reelected as mayor with 69 percent of the vote. Time to get to work

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

@JamesSurowiecki I bet it was uplifting

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

@JamesSurowiecki I teach federal government survey course to university students and I don't tell them of the Congress

@carriannt Yeah that's the kicker

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

@DanRosZiff I am sorry to hear this. I sent an email a few days ago to see if you had been on the list. I feared the worst when I did not hear back

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

@davidmcc1975 @JamesSurowiecki I see what you are saying. I think my disagreement is that you definition of socialism is too narrow. But if accept your definition,the state is involved in building stadiums, providing necessary infrastructure and even passing laws that directly benefit the NFL. Great chat TY!

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]

@davidmcc1975 @JamesSurowiecki Yet the league punishes successful teams (tougher schedules and lower draft picks) and rewards poor teams with easier schedules and higher draft picks. That doesn't seem like complete free market.

@JamesSurowiecki Caterwauling was a nice touch

[Brian Johnson @bpj1701]
