  1. He is wearing a toupee to cover the severe burn scars all over his head. He was shot down while piloting his helicopter in Vietnam in 1968. It caught on fire, burning off his nose, ears, hair, and his forearm that he was holding over his eyes (saving his eyesight). He spent two years recovering through many surgeries at the Brook Army Hospital burn unit in San Antonio, with many months lying face down. Then many months more with his good arm strapped up by his head while a strip of flesh was attached to grow him a new nose. In spite of the severity of his wounds, he recovered well enough to remain in the Army, becoming a helicopter battalion commander and eventually retiring as a lieutenant colonel. Along the way he married a beautiful Army nurse, adopted a child who grew up & graduated A&M, becoming a nurse herself. Unfortunately his wife passed away a decade ago from an aneurysm. Their daughter got married and recently made him a proud grandfather who enjoys making the infant smile by singing military cadence songs (clean ones) to him. He is a true BAMF He and Mrs. Brat were a steady couple from their high school senior year until they broke up their last year in college. We are all good friends to this day.

  2. Took the 12 yo daughter to the party - had a great time. She recognized Ella Swindle and got a pic: Hit the Posse for a burger: Hit Congress to watch the bats: Then back to the Littlefield Fountain for some pics. She was very interested in how hard it is to get into UT on the drive home. She’ll always be a big fan, especially after this week.

  4. Listen, the guy you quoted is an idiot and I don't expect him to get shit like this, hence him disappearing from my views many moons ago. You're not that, however. There's nothing needing defense coming from the WR room. I'm fucking around with the rating of Brown. Everyone I know thinks the guy is going to be great. Stewart is more of a debate, but he's always just tenuously in this class. I'm sorry, but what does Blake Lively have to do with any of this? Looks like we've got ourselves another camp fever hero! I really hope Sarkisian is able to bring some titles home because everything else happening with this program right now is off the charts. I always figured that the 2004/2005 rosters were about the best I could ever hope to see at Texas. I no longer think that is the case. The rosters over the next few cycles, if not longer, might be the absolute best in CFB. There are no talent gaps anywhere to be found, only questions about experience and cohesiveness due to NFL departures. Great evaluators, great recruiters, great developers, and every resource that could be desired. Good shit.

  5. I was pleasantly surprised in Belton. Only got to be there about an hour, but I'd guess 700-1000 people were there in the fiefdom of John Carter the Feckless. Kudos to the olds who showed up, saw lots of older vets. Everyone was cordial, welcoming, and upbeat. Almost zero presence of counter protesters, and LEO must have been staying out of sight. Organizers did a great job. Best sign:

  10. He's playing the martial law card only 140 days into the job. He's all out of ideas. It won't work. Not against 5+ million people in 1800+ locations this Saturday. Smh at some of you fretting over TACO. Subjecting wannabe dictators to scorn and ridicule is how you take them down. Kilmar's back home, Elmo left a mark, The Republicans can't agree on their bill, veterans are rallying, and Ukraine showed they do have the cards. I mean, Kilmar is back home. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen. Fuck this loser.

  11. Hung out with my BFF Rick again today Lotta great signs as per usual. This one tho... She was just in the crowd, but talked with us about her dad being a part of one of the first groups into a concentration camp. As she was sharing this, a man with a Ukrainian flag around his shoulders came up and started crying as he listened to her. His Jewish grandparents came to America after the camp they were in was liberated. It wasn't the same one (can't remember the camps names, dammit), but still an incredibly powerful moment.

  13. Look, I'm really not trying to dog on you, but having the US Military, be they active, reserve, or National Guard, kill or injure even one US citizen exercising their Constitutional rights is unacceptable. Kent State and the other instances are not "a decent track record". I say this as a US Marine, currently not in an active status. I know how I was trained and what my duty is. Harming US citizens exercising their rights is not part of that duty for me or anyone else in the military.

  20. As an American, I"m just devastated and pwned that the world famous LA Scanner twitter person, someone that I look up to and support publicly and personally, is apparently a convicted felon. I'm doing some real soul searching with my beliefs and politics. Thanks, Zeus.

  22. We just got back from the Austin rally (we were there for half of it, then rotated out - people were still showing up, older folks were rotating out…it was pretty damned hot). But we Constitutioned the fuck out of it. The right of the people to peaceably assemble. All that shit. We the people will not go quietly into that good night. Multiple people complimented and thanked my wife for representing - she wore her clerical collar, because real Christians stand against cruelty and fascism. Bonhoeffer sure as fuck did. We can too. The crowd was in great spirits. Cars driving by as we left were honking horns, fists raised in support. And yeah, a drag queen did two RATM numbers. Solid. I’m proud of all of y’all, and of a shitload of my countrymen. But this doesn’t end here. Not even close.

  24. You know what? I'd rather eat dinner with an "illegal" than a racist MAGA asshole. One is only trying to survive. The other pledges fealty to a sociopathic narcissist felon who's doing everything he can to wreck this country.

  26. “As the state senator who represents her district and the daughter of Cuban refugees, who are now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller, I am deeply disappointed by these actions…This is not what we voted for. I have always supported Trump through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.”

  27. There is no "migrant invasion" in LA. Yes, immigrants, legal and illegal, make up a large part of our population. But the overwhelming majority are just woven into our fabric, performing jobs many US Citizens would simply not do- dishwashers, hotel maids, gardeners, construction laborers, etc, etc, etc. Trump is fanning the flames of a false narrative, and then ramping up the conflict he is creating. And he loves it. I wish he would just do everyone a favor and just coronary out.
