  1. Right. But the point Caro was making was that if LBJ got into the Senate (and the House before that), the voters of Texas would re-elect him no matter what. That's just what they do.
  2. And that's how we (as Texans) got into this mess in the first place. People like Paxton thrive due to low information voters who blindly pull the lever for the (R) candidate, even if they would blanche at what that candidate is/does/stands for if they actually took a little time to educate themselves. But, it won't change. Go read the LBJ biographies by Robert Caro. This has been going on in Texas since reconstruction.
  3. I mean, I tell my clients not to post anything that they wouldn't want to be read into evidence in Court. I think she's probably OK with that being in evidence. I would be too, based on the content I've seen. Although I groaned as a family law practitioner when I read the term "biblical grounds" because all that means is that she is signaling that she is pleadings for a fault-based ground (adultery) instead of no-fault grounds to curry favor with her base.
  4. I also selected on July 17 last year, and I'm July 30 this year.
  5. Especially since Facebook's algorithm doesn't push "news" first - it pushes whatever it thinks will get the most engagement. A post about weather early in the morning? Nah, you probably want to see how Democrats are Satan.
  6. Just a reminder that in Texas, the Chief Executive of a County is called "County Judge". It's like the President of the County. He or she is head of the commissioner's court, etc.
  7. I'm your huckleberry. Seriously, I want to get into the title company game, and I have lawyers to throw at it. Lunch date soon? You're buying.
  8. Six figure signing bonus ain't what it used to be. Not sure what NIL/House settlement payments has slated for him at Texas, but the real question is what's the delta between the signing bonus and NIL/House settlement payments. Edit: And one more year of Texas co-ed cleat chasers versus minor league travel and lounge lizards.
  9. Did you see Tommy Farmer personally cost us at least one game by dropping two balls that were in his glove when he ran into the fence?
  10. What, no aggy!? How dare they not count meat judgin!
  11. In my daughter's 3rd-5th grade kickball team (which TOTALLY translates to D1 baseball), we try to have two 4-person hitting rotations (leadoff to cleanup), with the weakest links in-between.
