    Again, this is amazing (2020 numbers). Two factors, to explain the big ratings drop in B12 non-OU and non-UT games, and they may be inter-related…

    1. When Texas and OU were in the conference, the conference (including games without Texas or OU) got more favorable time slots and channels, leading to better ratings. 
    2. A lot of Texas and OU fans would tune into other B12 games, out of interest in the competition. Now, they’re tuning into SEC games, instead. 

    3. TX and OU made the conference better overall, and a better Big 12 gets more eyeballs than a middle of the pack conference lacking blueblood anchor programs.

    Our political leadership failed us. Including the Dems, who need to primary his ass and they know it…but they’re too timid to do it. The Repubs are no help, because their choices are always Paxton buttboys, so fuck that.
    The curse of one-party rule when your party has no spine is true regardless of party or jurisdiction. A blue county can be just as fucky as a red state.

    Dude, there was a very viable alternative in the Dem primaries, but someone on the left pegged him for a plant, and the sponges of Travis County soaked that crap up and defeated Jeremy Sylestine by a mile.  And the fact that Betts came as close as he did to Garza says a ton about how bad of a DA he REALLY is.

  3. The Fox7 clip was pretty damning.  Garza refuses to take the blame at the top, rather it sounds like the DAs office dragged their feet until day 91 (they have 90 days to indict or the accused gets either reduced bond or walks free) so they can force this off on a county judge to let 'em out.  Garza needs a trip out of office in some silver bracelets.

    "You wanna...?" or "Would you like to...?"

    Really it's not so much the question as it is the response to my answer. On some occasions, that's "yes" or "sure, why not?" 

    Most of the time, though, I go with "Do I want to? No. Will I? Yes."

    If the original question came from a person of the male persuasion, it's all good, and away we go. But with the female, for some reason that triggers a discussion about why not? Pointing out that I said yes invariably fails to close the discussion.

    Fuck me.

    It's pretty trivial - but damn, it can be annoying.

     

    Hopefully the question isn't some dude asking if you wanna go to pound town.
