  1. This is a great book on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Power-Glory-Evangelicals-Extremism/dp/006322688X Recognize some of my family in it...
  2. "one card only Visily" Missed this the first time. I am also a fan of packet internet network groping.
  3. Is it Festivus again already? I have a lot of problems with you people!
  4. Put a hundy on WKU. After 0-28 I turned it off and went about my day. Just saw the final. Merry Christmas to me.
  5. When you look at it, it's all about mailing in the last two weeks of the year and religiously watching horrible bowl games where there are more people on the sideline than in the stands. And I lofe it because CFB.
  6. No shit. Where was this frankness when we fucking needed it.
  7. I am halfway through the book "The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory" and what I've read so far is great. It's an expose of what many of us encountered growing up in evangelical families in Texas. The hypocrisy and the elevation of country over Jesus' teachings. Mixing politics and religion. I believe Christ was very clear about giving to Caesar what is Caesar's and I hope you know the rest. As someone said (unsure of the source) "Our parents spent decades warning us of the antichrist. Then when he shows up they can't wait to line up to vote for him."
  8. I wonder if the Z man went home and spun his new menorah
  9. Oriental. 22 years ago as I was vociferously ingesting any literature I could about the ME and Islam, I noticed this term used a lot in literature. (Occidental being the West) Both of these terms are so twisted now I just don't use them.
  10. Yup. I grudgingly admit it can look impressive. But it ain't hard.
  11. Which is great when hunting ducks but the Harris there is more agile. Gyrfalcon for the colder climes.
  12. I had to go to the ER about six months ago with a fairly urgent need. (turned out fine) On the advice of a family friend I went to a more central Austin hospital. I was the only one there with any kind of urgent need. I waited a long time nearly passing out as person after person went up with a minor cough. When my turn came they didn't even bother asking me for insurance though I had my card out. It was eye-opening. I was hospitalized for a couple days. One early morning someone came to my door saying they were ready to take me for surgery. It took a little while to convince them I wasn't having surgery though they showed me the form with Mr. Walser on it. Though it likely put a damning entry on my patient note (a la Seinfeld) I checked myself out shortly afterwards.
  13. I learned last week that my boomer mother believes in chemtrails and my boomer aunt is going to school board meetings in an effort to ban books. She's doing this in an ISD in which she doesn't even pay taxes.
  14. It's the smell when you haven't taken a shit for a couple days and the dookie simmering.
  15. Brilliant. Sex: It's Fantastic!
  16. Recommend the podcast "About a Boy." It goes into depth about the life of Putin and the Russian psyche in general. In the historic consciousness of the Russian people, and the horrific experience of 27 million dying in WW2, this is nothing. Putin sees any number smaller than that as an acceptable cost to get the band back together. He believes at his core that the West is weak and will eventually get distracted and lose interest. Unfortunately he is probably right. We need to push hard and do it now.
