  1. Same here and I graduated in '88. I would add that the "rich kids" that stayed home or went to college and came home are doing just fine. They either took over family businesses, or started their own trading on the family name and network.
  2. Do we have an idea of this kid's motive yet? Money? Love? Brainwashed true believer?
  3. I see the Russian trolls have already found the comments section.
  4. I think it's only the girls they want to marry off at 12. The boys gotta wait their turn.
  5. Where’s the nearest Indian casino? You could play a shitload of $.10 video poker.
  6. Grassley, you're on the clock too.
  7. It seems like the Texas House has always been the more reasonable of the two branches of state govt. Seems like last session or the one before (maybe both) the House passed a fairly broad MJ reform bill only to see it die on Youth Pastor Patrick's desk. I know there are a bunch of bullshit bills filed by guys like Slaton every session...but some of the stuff that actually gets voted on and passed can be reasonably moderate sometimes.
  8. The added bit there matters, I think.
  9. And 50% of the proceeds were donated to Planned Parenthood.
  10. "Danny, want to run the sprint race next weekend? Max is going to have a stomach bug"
  11. I used to think the same, and have come to the same conclusion. In 2012 the ex and I were building a new house. The old one sold faster than we expected and our kids weren't in school yet, so we moved out to her parents place in Llano county for a few months. I was working from home even back then and needed high speed internet, so I rented a little office right off the square in downtown Llano for $100/Month. Within a couple weeks, the Llano "movers and shakers" (my nickname for them) all stopped by to say hi and eventually started inviting me to join them for lunch. These guys were all friends of my FIL, who was born and raised in Llano and moved back to take over the family ranch when he retired. A couple country lawyers, the town insurance agent, pharmacist, the Edward Jones guy, etc. The couple times I went to lunch with them I was the youngest guy in the group by 20 years...and I was in my 40s at the time. They spent a lot of time trying to talk me into moving there full time, because like most small Texas towns they were shrinking. The only thing keeping Llano county and Llano ISD going is Kingsland and Horseshoe Bay. There was very little talk of politics with those guys. Mostly small town gossip, the price of cattle, if the football team was gonna be any good...stuff like that. These days on a drive through Llano county, you'll see tons of Trump flags, Blue Lives matter flags, and over the past couple years I've started seeing more confederate battle flags flapping on ranch flag poles around there. It's been very disappointing.
  12. Were YOU injured in an accident with an 18 wheeler?
  13. Man, someone needs to give this gif the Looch treatment.
  14. Fuck all that. Just start carrying signs to protests printed up like old school Esso logos. It will take them some time, but eventually a nice, college educated librul will explain it to them so they can get all butt hurt about it.
  15. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that all the votes to expel are fat old whites. That’s going to be a powerful visual down the road.
  16. The right has been asking for it for a long time now with their rhetoric. Maybe it's time to start the FO phase.
  17. It seems Kansas is still leading the nation in "How far is too far?". Remember when Sam Brownback and super majorities in both chambers slashed taxes on the upper tax brackets, small businesses, and sales tax and effectively bankrupted the state in 2 years? Right wing think tanks called Kansas tax cuts a "model for the nation", but they were so broke the republican ledge had to reverse the tax cuts after Brownback left office.
  18. This picture of White Evangelical Jesus looks gay AF.
