    Yeah - it was a treat, for sure.

    When we walked up, the menu claimed to be out of lamb chops, but the hostess said, "we have 4 secret lambchops left, want some?"  Uh, sure.  Holy smokes!

    What time did you get there?  I specifically want the lamb chops, at least for my wife.  How big are they?

    Why is Trump’s head photoshopped on John Daly’s body? Trump’s swing has never looked that good.

    This is the biggest backswing I've found in a brief search.  They are shameless.

    His comment was “Muslims scare liberals.” A true statement, IMO. If, elsewhere he broadened that to all liberals, that would be an untrue statement.

    That's where we differ -- I don't see that statement as anything but all-encompassing.  Broad brushes piss me off.

    Ok, Rex. Your personal anecdotes ARE more important.

    You were the one who implied all liberals are scared of Muslims.  Maybe go take a writing course at some school other than Texas Tech.

    By the way, those anecdotes included growing up around dozens of Muslims my family would host when they came to the US to attend the engineering school my dad taught at.  They would break bread with us, stay with us, obviously take courses from my father, etc.  I learned about Lebanon, Iraq, Iran etc. in a very real manner, and without question my family was not an outlier.  It was a very common thing for university employees to bring those immigrant students into their households (as well as students from other parts of the world, primarily Asia).  So MY experience is that you're full of shit.

    Liberal Islamophobia is not a fringe element. It is pervasive in our society, and liberals are certainly not immune. Yes, obviously it is worse and amplified among conservatives and liberal politicians (who are largely conservatives themselves). I linked you a very good resource to learn about this from a respected academic who has spend decades studying it but, again, I suspect you have no interest in learning anything beyond your current point of view.

    Thanks, Dad.  I'm comfortable in my skin and I cannot think of one person in my circle who is scared of Muslims.  Quite a few in that circle are Muslims themselves.  This is obviously a white knight issue for you but you are flat fucking wrong to paint with that broad brush.

    I’m just reminding y’all that there’s less homogeneity left of center than we’d like on even the issues we’d most like to prioritize. 

    Nobody ever claimed the "left of center" voting block is homogeneous.  There are always outliers.  To imply that all liberals are scared of Muslims is fucking ridiculous, full stop.

    Ok I can't resist, I so badly need to understand how you came to these conclusions. Unless this is just some diabolical gaslighting, in which case bravo.

    So you're scared of Muslims?

    I get that Muslims scare liberals, but it'll be fine.

    Here we go again.  Can explain this perverse falsehood you push every chance you get?

    Those type of injuries typically take a year before really being back as close to normal. Unless he really knocks it out I expect him to be back in '26.

    He injured his knee on August 6.  By your analysis, he could be expected back by Ohio State.
