  1. I'm a bit surprised at FFA in Austin high schools, but for a bit of perspective, Slacker was released in 1991. The more things change . . . . And, there aren't goatropers at every high school in Texas anymore?
  2. They already denied cert in her case once before, where it was even more poorly presented. Ruckus' own words: This petition implicates important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell, but it does not cleanly present them. For that reason, I concur in the denial of certiorari.
  3. I suppose Joe Strummer was a handsome fella in his own right, but Rhys Myers is a little too pretty. And I don't even see Michael listed in the cast, but whoever played him was definitely too good looking. I could see them uglying up Toby Kebbell a little to make a good Mick.
  4. EJ Antoni, brought to you by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, ie Timmy n Faris. He's kind of the EJ Holland of economics. South Park really needs to do a Timmy n Faris ep.
  5. Well, one of the things about the frequent use of the emergency/shadow docket is that they don't have to explain themselves hardly at all. There's even a theory that the emergency docket is a form of Trump appeasement that kicks the can down the road for a few months. This is not one of those, and, for the most part, they're sticking to conventional analysis of things when they have to explain themselves.
  6. The "right" way to attack Obergefell is simple enough and amply demonstrated by the attacks on Roe: a state passes a law curtailing same-sex marriage in some way, or completely, and off you go.
  7. Not sure it's going to be standing, but in any event, this is a lousy vehicle for testing the constitutionality of anything. Recall that she was sued in her official capacity for failure to do her legal duty, that is, issue marriage license to a same-sex couple. She was ordered to do it, failed to do it, was found in contempt, spent a few days in jail, and was fined $100k. Attorneys fees of $260k were awarded at the end as can happen in a civil rights civil suit. It's a very collateral attack on Obergefell. Not sure even this SCOTUS will take it up.
  8. Northaven Automotive at North Haven and Central has been good to me for light-duty stuff. Also do a Mobil1 oil change for $80.
  9. The funny thing about this is that MAGAts think it's because NYC is liberal. But recall that until very recently, Trump was a Democrat, and pretty much the entire time he lived in NYC. NYC hates him because they had to put up with his vainglorious ass for 30+ years and they know who he is. The whole fascist thing is just icing on the cake.
  10. If you were as big a swinging dick as you pretend to be, Don, you'd make Putin come to you.
  11. Conservatives have been lying their asses off about crime, especially in blue states/cities, for at least a decade. Crime tends to follow social unrest. COVID, therefore, provoked a spike in crime, particularly in urban areas, but it was kind of a one-off thing.
  12. https://www.bernardlevine.com/
  13. Me, Mr. Sentencing Reform, doesn't mind using lockups on utes. As long as it doesn't go down on their permanent record.
  14. Richie Furay went on to a non-denominational Christian musical and other career. Can't find anything definitive, but he's a likely MAGAt.
  15. So many of the slipjoint makers have gone out of business, Camillus, Schrade, etc. and those that survive have changed their methods and business model, Case, Kabar, etc. that some of those could be pretty valuable if not ground to nothing.
  16. What sort of knives? Traditional? More modern? Custom?
  17. Kind of fun bit of trivia. The Zilog Z80 lives on today.
  18. Well, under oldlaw, "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
  19. The guy has flooded his own zone with bullshit. He no longer knows what's true and what's false.
  20. CECOT is housing.
  21. For a guy that's 59, a more average guy, that's not bad. But I'm reasonably sure Cain is sufficiently wealthy that he does not and has not had a 9-5 job in forever. So he really has no excuse not to be in better shape.
  22. This is almost completely inaccurate. It is probably the most liberal and least Trump-friendly Court of Appeals in the nation and also the most politically and constitutionally sophisticated. Four Obama appointees, three Biden, three Trump, one GHWB, among the non-senior. It is true, however, that absent clear congressional limits on presidential power to remove executive officers, the DC Circuit has refused to place limitations on that power. Which is probably actually the correct answer, but a lot of people like to call that unitary executive/unlimited presidential power. But, that's irrelevant, because the Federal Circuit hears appeals from the MSPB.
  23. Yeah some poor schmuck at BOP is gonna burn.
  24. Actually, although the origin of the pee tapes is the Steele Dossier, no one has actually proven it to be a lie. It was paid for. The real problem is that Trump's people will believe any goddamn thing he says, no matter what the evidence to the contrary.
