  1. I’m going for the first time since 2005. Hopefully this means something.
  2. We pay for weapons the Pentagon doesn't even want, but a decent wage for teachers is squeezing "blood out of a turnip." This shit is why we have Trump. Selfishness dressed up as high-minded political theory. So many want an advanced society, but simply do not want to pay for it.
  3. Beto 2020. This is how presidents come from nowhere. It strikes me as similar to Obama's meteoric rise following the '04 convention. Look at the Dem field. Old, not real exciting and who? litter that field of likely candidates. Beto will be a well known name after pulling this off in November, with recognition higher than all but Sanders, Biden and Warren. He will also have pros lining up to work for a put together candidate who obviously does well on TV, social media and face-to-face.
  4. To be the best, you have to beat the best, and that's the HOUSTON ASTROS Love it.
  5. Positive: he's ahead of DeVos. Negative: he's behind pyramids were giant granaries guy.
  6. If you don't want a leftist hegemony, why not win a few elections? Put a non-leftist in the White H... er, the Sena..., um the House..., how about win a bunch of state legisla..., uh governorships... Wait. What the hell are you talking about?
  7. He's gonna misquote Henry James next week.
  8. Fucking snowflake. If it's safe spaces he's looking for, it ain't gonna be the sideline at DKR when he comes back from Dallas 1-5.
  9. Is this proof of the multiverse? Did this tweet come from a less dark timeline?
  10. People still tell me this 2-3x a year. I don't know if the caterer attached to the alumni center is the same, but the one back then certainly delivered.
  11. Didn't see this before. I got married on the day of the Kansas game in '04. The ceremony at All Saints' across from SRD and the reception was at the Alumni Center. Vince's magic saved my marriage before it began, since I would have most certainly been a sulky bitch the rest of the day had we lost.
  12. Why are people so set on answering a different question? Will he get 3 years? Sure. Was that the question? Nope. Is he going to get us to titletown? Fuck no. In summary, he will get 3 years, and that means we'll still be wandering further into the desert a full decade since we mattered.
  13. He’s become the Tom Herman of football analysts: he knows better than you, so fuck your opinion.
  14. No.
  15. The biggest positive is no one who matters will excuse 6-6 and say he needs time. If it’s money that stops a firing, so be it, but unlike Strong’s tenure, there’s not a real need to hold off judgment til a third year.
  16. That’s absurd. GDGD is a titan of the game compared to Tom. And I’m damning GDGD with faint praise here.
  17. It was finally over for McCarthy when he took on the Army. Maybe this is Trump's "no sense of decency" moment.
  18. I grew up in Mo City, but haven't that direction in a while. I thought it was being overrun by AZNs. Now, I am completely surrounded by exactly what you describe in The Woodlands/Magnolia.
  19. Tyler batting 4 times in a row doesn't seem fair, but I'm for it.
  20. Moral and ethical? You want political parties to be be moral and ethical? I save my impossible wishes for things like a night with Lucy Pinder and Gemma Atkinson. But toss off how you need to, I guess.
  21. Did you not see the “mostly black” part? He knows what happens if it’s easy for them to vote. Your reasons mean nothing to him.
  22. He’s a Welshman who always wore a black shirt (turtleneck?) and a brown bomber jacket. Even in summer. You would remember if you did.
