  1. I saw the KXAN push on my phone last night when I was in Houston for a youth soccer tournament.  I freaked out because I knew my 17 YO daughter had just agreed to Uber back home to our house just west of there.  I called home and spoke to my wife -- everyone was safe.  

    Then I woke up to the rest of the story this morning.

    As we all have recognized, the guy just defined "beast" for a running back.  I used to chat with him every once in a while at the gas station where Dry Creek hits 2222.  He was so reserved.  Didn't run like it.  RIP Ced.

  2. I don't have the time to go back and catch up, and I've been out of town and blissfully off media for the past two days:

    Has anyone explained why Trump felt the need to delay tariffs past Christmas if tariffs don't affect US consumers?

  4. Yeah, it seems a convenient catch-all if a cop doesn't like you.  My buddy got a free overnight stay downtown for driving while Hispanic, but what they busted him on was his bokken (wood sword) he uses in aikido training.

  6. So let's get to the bottom of this:  Bibi, being Trump East, is lying about something:

    -- it is illegal for BDS supporters to enter Israel

    -- Israel didn't know until recently that Tlaib and Omar's was to STRENGTHEN the boycott

     

    Now Bibi (and Icono), which is it?  Clearly Tlaib and Omar's support for BDS has been known for almost a year, so is it against the law for them to enter Israel, or is it OK but not if you just don't want them there

    Once again, a spineless immoral coward like Icono is caught supporting another spineless immoral coward in a web of lies and deceit.

    How rich are they? Get back to me on that. You’re a humorless cunt so I’m assuming they’re losers like yourself 

    LOL.  The PhD is fucking rolling in dough.  CEO of a thriving company with a gorgeous 5300+ sf house in prime NW Austin.  The nuke medicine tech owns a lot of real estate, but I don't know his business.

    I see you've taken up the Onboard phrasing, by the way.  Original.

    Do we know the same Iranians?

    I know two Iranian families where the men fit this age criteria...and this is spot on.

     

     

    If you live in NW Hills or north central Austin, it's probably the same 2 guys.

    Those my age and older do. Check out Beyond Shahs of Sunset on Facebook. I am sure the millennials vote no differently than their peers. 

    I am good friends with 2 Iranian professional men (PhD Engineering ~ 55 YO, Nuclear Medicine Tech ~ 57 YO) and both hate Trump more than I do.

    I suspect you're full of shit, as usual.

    EDIT:  this is in Texas

  10. Yeah, I started formal piano lessons at age 4 and finally bailed ~ 9th grade.  I became pretty accomplished.  Keyboard theory was easy for me.

    Taught myself guitar in 5th grade when Mom bought a cheap acoustic and took about 3 lessons.  I grabbed the guitar, her Mel Bay lesson book, and basically learned most of the  open chord fingerings, along with 2 basic barre chords.  I don't think I've gotten any better since.  I just don't think in that  nonlinear way that is the guitar fretboard.  Too many options.  If I want to play A 440 Hz on a piano, there is exactly one key I can hit.  Guitar?  It's a smorgasbord.

    So while @realDonaldTrump has spent his entire career standing up to China and leading the fight against their authoritarian regime, @JoeBiden has spent his entire career cheering China on and watching his son get rich off of it. #ChinaJoe

    I know President Xi of China very well. He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a “tough business.” I have ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it. Personal meeting?
