  1. This time I think I actually represented your view on gerrymandering accurately. I remember the discussion on that issue, and my concern was that it led to members of congress not representing their district’s interests, by creating districts that aren’t actually places or real communities of interest. Your view at that time was that the congressional delegation should more or less map to the way the state votes in presidential elections. Is that not your view? Has you view changed? As you know I don’t consider you a conservative in any real philosophical sense, but I would love for more Republicans to post here.
  2. @Ag with kids remember when you supported gerrymandering congressional districts to align the congressional delegation to the "school of thought" represented by the state's vote in presidential elections? This kind of non-representation is the certain outcome - they don't need to represent their district, or even show up, because their districts aren't real places anymore. Their districts are just are just demographic packages designed to support national party interests to the exclusion of local interests. Congrats!
  3. Real courage is burning a house down to prove it was flammable. Braver still if you don’t have to live in it.
  4. Terrorist, sex criminal, and useful resource on car towing and impoundment really is a diverse and eclectic combination. He contained multitudes.
  5. No, you have missed the point. When you and the “burn it all down” guys decided to burn it all down, the rules based international order was what you burned down, in the same way that TXTow* contributed to the most acute danger faced on the section of highway he was terrorizing. *background, @TxTow was a middle aged poster on shaggybevo named Patrick Johnson who was so concerned about APD not catching drunk drivers that over the course of a few years he threw several hundred rocks into the windshields of cars on I35 that he presumed to be driven by drunks. At one point he compared his skill at hitting windshields to kicker Jeff Ward. In his personal life he was also a sex pest who preyed on younger men, and the time of his trial he was already serving prison time for sexual assault on children. So the “punchline” here is funny because it clearly insinuates that Anastasis is a homosexual pedophile.

  8. Isn’t that like a Corporal? After 13 years?
  9. Low Cut Connie cancelled? bad ass.
  10. Ok, but I’m also not sure that’s the right question. I get the rule of thumb, but I think people think too much about what percentage of their investable assets should be allocated to bonds, and not nearly enough about what the bonds are for- what function do they serve in the portfolio and whether “bonds” are the best way to deliver results.
  11. Mavs just got flexed out of a couple of nationally televised games. good job Nico
  12. One of my favorite Rick Pitino moments was the press conference where he discussed apologizing to his family for his affair with a waitress, and described his family as “solid fundamentally.”
  13. We’ll never know, but it wouldn’t be the first time the Austin police got the wrong guy.
  14. That’s very sad. I had forgotten about him and didn’t know he passed. is Robert Joseph still alive?
  15. This is the one, to me. Completely lost in the shuffle.
  16. These are both good books. Also recommend this
  17. He’s not going to be the national party leader but he’s been very good at his job, which is holding his caucus in line.
  18. He’s a clown but that’s terrible. Diabetes or?
  19. Et tu, Texags?
  20. It’s like we’ve talked about. What I always say is that I’m not a Christian but I hope to be one someday.
  21. I know there have been articles along these lines, but pastors are really struggling with this. They try to teach from the bible or preach a sermon about the gospel and their congregants will tell them that they are wrong, or when pressed that Christ's direct instruction "doesn't apply anymore" because of some pretzel of Leviticus and a few snippets of letters from Paul. It's not just the protestants, either. Recently I was interacting with an old friend, one of my high school teachers who was also our neighbor across the street through my entire childhood. He is a devout catholic. I sent him the Pope's excellent letter to American bishops that essentially rebuked and rejected the interpretation of the principal of Ordo Amoris advanced by some American Catholics including JD Vance in a recent interview. My friend's response was that the Pope is not infallible, and and he would need his parish priest to weigh in, but that in any case we can't just "surrender our national sovereignty." In other words, on a matter of doctrine, he's taking JD Vance and the parish priest over the Bishop of Rome and St. Augustine himself.
  22. Fucking A man. It’s the dismal tide.
  23. I have been a regular reader of the New Yorker for most of my adult life, going back to high school, and I did not ever imagine the Dallas Mavericks would do something so stupid that the “The Sporting Scene” would take notice.
