What's Jeffrey Toobin's surly handle?
To bad they didn’t include the National Lampoon frog with no legs coming out of the kitchen. That would have really sold it.

They also closed their downtown location. Apparently to focus on just their Far West location.

Wise County DA Drops Murder Charge Due To DNA Evidence
Reposting for the link. Everyone should bookmark his blog and check it daily. In addition to some great observations on local, state and national politics (few of which I agree with, but all of which are interesting), his girl of the day pics are usually pretty damn hot.

2020 Golf Thread of Disappoint Yourself
Caveat: Haven't read a single post in this thread or it's 2019 predecessor, so apologies if this has been asked/answered. Golfer from the time I was 8 or 9 until my late 30s. Joined Onion Creek when I moved to Austin in the late 80s and played in the weekend Brown group for years (with dime a point gin in the locker room after). Pretty much stopped playing when kids came along in the early aughts because of the time suck. Now starting to play some again. What's the current state of art ball that helps with length/loft but cuts down on spin? Also, will I look like a dork if I wear my 20 year old black Footjoys (they are softspikes)?

Mexican
Their traditional Tex-Mex ain't that great. But their carnitas and grilled items are pretty damn good. Mojo de ajo chicken thighs are delicious as is there fire roasted verde salsa.

Beastie Boys Story
Watched this last night as a double documentary with the Go-Gos doc on Showtime. Beastie Boys/SpikeJonz was top shelf. The accolades they give to MCA were over the top (but I think well deserved). Was surprised about Ad-Rocks feelings about some of their earlier songs (including the ringtone I use for my wife, "Girls").

SCOTUS rulings 2020
Well I wasn't discussing voting rights issues under the 24th Amendment. I was discussing abridgment of free exercise under the 1st (and freedom of assembly). I'm happy to discuss the 24th though. So is your position that permanently disenfranchising felons is not permissible? Because the Court, relying on the second clause of the 14th Amendment, has said it is, right or wrong. And if you can permanently disenfranchise felons, why wouldn't it be constitutional to conditionally allow them to vote if they satisfied the State's conditions? In other words, why is it "almost certainly unconstitutional"? Seems like to me there's a reasonable basis to believe otherwise based on Richardson v Ramirez. Again, I'm not weighing in on the morality of it (for lack of a better word), but the Constitutionality.

SCOTUS rulings 2020
True that it was seeking relief from the denial of the injunction. But essentially that leaves the churches with no remedy, as any decision on the merits is likely months to a year or two away, so they'll end up mooted. As far as leaving the churches free of any shutdown orders, so what. Governor or legislature could fix that easily.
