  1. Actually, Donald, you're both fat.

    Pritzker, however, unlike you, is not a slob.  He actually dresses like a billionaire.

    And he doesn't have stupid hair, like you and Kyle's mom.

  2. https://www.cwc.org/CWC/CWC/Updates/2025/President-Trump-Nominates-Carter-Crow-As-EEOC-General-Counsel.aspx

    Fulbright head of employment tapped to EEOC GC.

    I know this guy a little bit.  Not at all surprised he's at least a little Trumpy, well-off, lives in Memorial all that shit.  Did not think he's that political.

    But I'm kind of surprised anyone with a credible career at a credible place like Norton Rose Fulbright would join the confederacy of dunces that is Trump appointments.

    I guess "general counsel of EEOC" is a good credential, but geezus criminy.

    He went to blOwU, which may explain everything.

    Another thing: performance shirts. Every shirt I see online --- Pancho and all the rest ---- cost 130 buck and are "performance"  shirts.  Damn. I just want a shirt. A regular shirt. One made of cotton or maybe wool, as they have been my entire life.  Now I gotta buy "performance" shirts and pay a premium for it because it's a performance shirt? WTF?   How did they take something so simple, so elemental, as a shirt and manage to enshittify it?  

    I was super-skeptical of those for tshirts and the like as it's really just polyester.  That is DryFit, CoolMax, cooldrysupermaxfit, whatever.

    But, I started mountain biking, a very sweaty endeavor in Texas, and damned if they aren't kinda the shit.

    But the cheap ass ones from Walmart or Amazon are as good as any.

    I've never understood why people fall for the line that your license will be suspended if you refuse to blow. So what. As you said, look to get an exemption for work travel. Use Uber or friends/family for the rest. And honesty, you can probably still drive in many situations and never get caught. But it's a risk.

    I have heard lawyers warn that blood tests can identify other substances in your blood including legal prescription drugs that could impair your driving. Not too mention less than legal substances. It's a consideration for some when requesting a blood test.

    They're not "falling for the line."  It's a fact that it will be suspended for six months on refusal, even if you are acquitted on the DUI.

    It is relatively simple to obtain an occupational license, but you have to go through the steps and pay some fees.

  5. Probably mentioned it before, but I'm an Eagle Scout.  I had kind of a love-hate relationship with Scouting at the time (was nerdy, interfered with my stupid me time, but I also dig outdoor stuff), but on reflection, it's one of the best and more formative experiences of my life.

    Glad it's still relevant for some of you.

  6. Don't blow because Intoxilyzers are notoriously inaccurate.  Maybe not even if you've drunk nothing.

    But, you will have your license suspended with pretty much no recourse except an occupational license for 180 days.

    If you really are sober, demand a blood test.  They can't suspend if you take one.  And if you're borderline and feel froggy, they might delay enough that your BAC drops.  Assuming it doesn't go up (that happens depending on the length from your last drink).

    It feels like there's more mutual respect between the Texas and Texas A&M programs.

    Morrison was a volunteer coach at Texas for a couple of years back when that was a thing. He's openly stated Texas is their standard they'd like to get to.

    Craig Skinner was a coach under John Cook at Nebraska for 5 years. It's a pretty well known thing Cook and Elliott did not get along. There's been no outward signs of bad blood between Skinner and Elliott, but there are potential reasons for it. The loss to Kentucky in the finals. The Skinner transfer. The Rutherford transfer. Josephson coming over. Texas not recruiting any of the players from the state on the Kentucky roster. Texas being lauded as the new king of the conference upon entry when Kentucky has dominated it for a long time. Then there's the whole competitive psychology of fueling the flight/fight mechanism in our brain with perceive injustice and disrespect, whether real or not. 

    We need to win more. We won last year but then lost the conference title to them. It's a bummer this match went the way it did, especially when it looked like we had it. 

    But I see great potential in Kentucky being a huge rivalry down the road.

    They're both grumpy looking sonsabitches, that's for sure.

  8. Ben Wittes on point at Lawfare. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--not-the-way-i-wanted-this-to-end

    Let me be candid: This is not the way I wanted these cases to end.

    Comey and James are, as best as I can discern, factually innocent of these indictments, which were brought maliciously by a woman acting at the direct behest of a president who hates the defendants. There is something mildly unsatisfying about the court’s resolving their two cases on the basis of merely one of the myriad procedural outrages that were all just mosaic tiles in a much larger abomination: the president’s abuse of the criminal process to go after those who displease him.

    It misses a very large forest for a single proverbial tree.

    I know he's buddies with Comey and Richman and some of you long time political perverts have beef with him, but on Trumpco CJ issues, he's righteous.

    Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  Not accustomed to seeing the ladies choke like that.

    It was top competition, but yeah, we had em.

    And, I gotta say, it's better than the old days when about all we had was a front row and if you could defend and block that, we were done.

    I think this current squad invited some bad karma when they got up there and said they were gonna 3 peat after they lost to Texas. Fuck em

    Could be and maybe Busboom isn't Satan, er, John Cook.

    But I have respect for Corn that borders on fear.  Big 10 doesn't seem to be quite what it used to be, though.

    I would like to see if Corn can even make it to the finals. They have a knack to come up short when the pressure is on. 

    Not historically.  Last couple of years they've been young, like we are now.

    Maybe a Busboom thing (I know it's Busboom Kelly, but plain Busboom is more fun).
