I'm a libertarian with no empathy for players violating their code of conduct. Goodell is a morally bankrupt commissioner. #BoycottNFL— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 18, 2017
I originally intended to boycott through Veterans Day. In light of Goodell's spineless decision, I'm extending it through the SB #BoycottNFL— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 18, 2017

I do. You'e a presumptuous son of a bitch and a liar. The obvious humanitarian response is to attempt both; then whoever can be saved.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 18, 2017
Let's rephrase the dilemma. If I had a choice between saving Tomlinson or my late wife's preborn child. Who would I choose?.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 18, 2017

DEAD WRONG: Today's Kids Wouldn't Pass the Marshmallow Test
JOTY Nominee Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno
I have not devoted as much blog space this year to my annual tongue in cheek awards. I discussed this case over the weekend. Strauss, landlord of the space leased by Double Door, a concert hall/nightclub, declined to renew their lease based on what regarded as various lease violations. The club management, donors to said alderman, then asked Moreno to intervene. In essence, Moreno used dubious zoning authority to basically downzone the property, effectively making it difficult for Strauss to lease the property to other businesses and hence lowering the value of his property. Moreno has all but admitted to using the law to compel Strauss to renew the lease to the property. This is a blatant, corrupt abuse of power, and in essence Moreno has stolen or destroyed without due process Strauss' property rights, a violation of the Bill of Rights.Granted, a lot can happen over the next couple of months, but some hints of what I'm considering:
- JOTY: Hillary Clinton's "Excuses Tour"; Anthony Weiner's conviction; Perez' abortion litmus test
- Bad Elephant: GOP Senators vs. Repeal Obamacare; Donald Trump; Tim Murphy
- Man of the Year: Amazon vs. Retailers, cryptocurrencies; driverless cars; Trump, McConnell & Ryan
