  1. Blood out of a Turnip.

    Thanks @softlynow  for the military budget argument. But that never flies because of course they don't want $ spent on that military project either. As fast as you can come up with a list of $ being misappropriated, they agree that it is a waste, but no talk of raising teachers salaries. After 30 years, I'm locked in on the teacher's salary schedule. Having said that, this teacher salary discussion will go the way they always do, 'Well if they don't like it, they can go get another job." 

    Yep, I'm Googling Luxembourg right now.

    This is my pile. There are many like it around the house, but this one is mine.

    My piles are my best friends. They house cards that are years old, expired coupons, receipts for returns that will never be returned, unopened mail and much more.

    This pile is special because if he Christmas plate it sits on that never goes away after Christmas.

    There was a case a little bit similar to this in Houston ten or so years back. Local political talk show host was in the habit of answering the door with his dick hanging out when young girls would come by (babysitters, Girl Scouts, etc.). One more case like this and we have us a pattern.  

    He was an employee of now lieutenant governor Dan Patrick when Patrick owned AM 740 in Houston. Pedo was a right wing a-hole.

    Life has been an endless string of snake eyes for Donald Trump. 

    Yeah but his meals and room are comped and the casino drives him around in a limousine because he's such a mark. So he's winning bigly.

  6. In fairness, I googled and it is often identified as a myth, but while it's hard to prove something that didn't happen the most used reason was the NCAA didn't find anything, which isn't saying much. But I am calling bs on the hay bale thing or is it because they do hay in those round bundles now?

    Saw Woodward on Colbert last night.

    Motherfucker is a journalist/anthropologist, he knows what he's doing, and he doesn't take shortcuts or cut corners.  If it's in the book, it's true -- at the very least, the statements he cites are accurate reflections of those statements.  Maybe people connected to the WH lied to him in part/varnished the truth (no "maybe" about it, knowing that crowd).  Even then, he endeavored to cut through their bullshit.

    Woodward is as good as it gets.  

    That's Jack Nicholson. 

    Woodward is Robert Redford.

  8. Sorry, if that's your team. They are classy, knowledgeable fans. My family are Iowans. The days of steroid freaks and county scholarships are long gone. I thought the move to the Big 10 would level the playing field for them in terms of team speed and skill position players, but it didn't. Good luck.

    Sinclair Lewis knew/knows America. Elmer Gantry and Babbitt are favorite books. Gantry is the great American character able to seemingly honestly hold two contradictory moral codes at once. 

    "A Face in the Crowd" is a movie that reminds me of our situation, today.             Also, "Bob Roberts", underrated movie.

    Somewhere there's a hotel that just charged you for not showing up.  It might be in her destination city, or it could be in your hometown, but probably not in Houston.

    Oh you've got a reservation at that hotel alright-3 weeks from now.

    He won’t waste his time with them, but Slim Shady is not the cat those two mopes want to do battle with.  

    It's a great faceoff. A white rapper vs black trumpsters.
