Yep. Much different than the 80’s.

What a strange idea. I guess you either create wafer or kill a couple of million to alleviate the stress that is occurring in Colorado.

How many Hoops National Championships has Illinois won since firing Bruce ?

Same ole, same ole.

Bruce was a nerd that wouldn't color outside the lines. He couldn't give Illinois what it needed.

Trump made a giant show of this, and called everyone who preceded him stupid for not fixing it. He might be right about everyone else being stupid, but he then added himself to the list of dumbs by trying and failing. That's why this is a story.

They need to fix the piping and move the water so it's not "still" and invariably going to have the issues every other body of water that doesn't move has.

This is not hard to do without drama, but Trump wanted to show everyone he could fix the thing all the other fools couldn't.

Trump goes off topic regularly. So what? He is a NY bragger. Nobody likes it, but cmon, who cares enough to dress in algae and protest a pool

I think he built the Nuggets title winner and then left before they won.

My personal opinion is that he was improved from GarPax but as with lots of middling NBA GMs, you win or lose on luck (like drafting Jokic in Round 2).

Tim Connelly GM/ President of Basketball Operations drafted Jokic in 2014. AK worked there. He might as well of pushed a broom. AK was awful for the Bulls, but he was instrumental in rebuilding cellar dweller Orlando into relevance from the Bulls FO.

In fairness, Obama also annoyed the public quite a bit. Focused on healthcare over the economy especially.

You do know the party in power is usually the betting favorite to lose the midterms?

Illinois just went to the Final Four (with the first coach who didn't have to deal with the stain of Weber), and here's BDW still making excuses for his idiotic and wrong takes from almost 20 years back.

The only ally you have capable of rational thought is TJ.

One guy is the President, one guy is "Algae Man." We all have our place.

Sure, but it's also been awhile for a President to be at 39% approval at this point in his term. Even the Ancient Mariner was at 41.5% ish (rose to about 44% at the midterm).

How are you all still talking about this? It's kind of a remarkable debate, I don't have the stamina some of you do.

I expect a little more out of Algae Man.

You told me Arizona had a great water deal and didn’t have water issues a couple months ago. Now they are looking at expensive options because the state doesn’t provide enough water on its own. Getting desperate and looking at options because the desert doesn’t provide enough water.

Probably should have locked something up a while ago, scrambling with months to go.

There are indeed pipe issues. How much of that contributes to the current issues is unclear. They wouldn’t be arresting people, if they weren’t trying to damage the reflecting pool.

The pipe issues are only a small part of the problem. The biggest issues are its shallow and stagnant water that gets very warm very quickly and has lots of wildlife “fertilizing” the water. Perfect scenario for a huge algae bloom.
