I've just seen the news that Dave Mirra (BMX, X-Games god) died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. This is hitting me kind of hard and not because I was a wannabe BMXer, but I started following him a year or so ago on Instagram in his quest to make it to the Kona Ironman. He's the only semi-celebrity I follow and he seemed very down to earth and so devoted to his two young daughters. That last one is the part that hits me hard, but I've definitely learned more and more that you don't know what's weighing on someone. And I can't help but wonder if CTE played a part in it, too.

Does anyone seriously believe that the GOP controlled congress will confirm a SC nominee appointed by Obama? This spot will be appointed by the next president.Comment

I think Obama said he didn't plan on making any appointments before the end of his term, didn't he? This was obviously before Scalia's death.Originally posted by USUC View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

So much for that.. We knew he would jump at the opportunity to historically shift the SCOTUS..Comment

Leaving the propriety of his comments aside, why on earth shouldn't he appoint someone? It's not like he has two months left; he has almost a year.Originally posted by dabrockster View PostComment

Agreed. As much as I'd prefer he not appoint someone, I can't imagine why he'd wait.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
