“Dave and I are part of a bid to buy the Rams and we are continuing the process. But I can say no more because of a confidentiality clause in our agreement with Goldman Sachs. We cannot and will not talk about our partners. But if we prevail we [...] [...more]
Where is the leadership? Where is the decision making? Where is a firm decision leading in a solid direction? SNL answers those questions. This is what happens when a president who wants to “bring people together” doesn’t have an ideologically driven core that clearly points the way.

Kudos to NBC. The network rejected the stomach-churning ad. NBC is coming under fire from pro-life advocates for rejecting a television commercial a pro-life group hoped to run during the Super Bowl.
