    One time the night before a big football game against our hated rival, me and my friend went out cruising in his older brother's car. We were kind of fucked up, and trashed it. So we drove it back to the school, and spray painted graffiti all over it to make it look like somebody from our rival high school had vandalized it. I felt kinda bad, but the older brother (he played linebacker) was so pissed he had the game of his life, getting something like five sacks in one game, so it all worked out, I guess.

    How long was your dad a TV repairman?

    There are counties in Texas where Democrats don't even offer up candidates in the local races.  Democratic Primary numbers aren't going to be particularly useful.

    This. For the last 5-6 elections there hasn't been a local Democrat run for anything around here. You vote in the Republican primary or you don't vote. This most recent one actually had a Democrat running for County Commissioner. He'll get buried in the general election. 

  3. My old faithful HDDVR in the bedroom finally died. Had it for about 10 years. The Genie in the living room took a shit, again. The HDMI port is dead. Just replaced it a month ago because the HDMI port died on the other one. Ever try to call in 2 bad receivers with different problems? Apparently nobody has ever done that before. The lady in Taiwan couldn't wrap her head around it so I ranted hard enough to get an American employee. She wasn't much better, but could read her script clearer. None of them listen to the customer. I've already tried a reboot, unplugged the receiver and plugged it back in, checked the inputs and verified it's the box, not the TV or HDMI cable.

    Their response? OK, first lets try to reboot the receiver...

    Fuck you, lady! I've been a customer since 2003, been through dozens of receiver problems and am well aware of the testing to determine the problem. Just send me a receiver or schedule a tech.

    OK, first lets try to reboot the receiver...

    If there's ever a mass shooting at an AT&T call center, it's probably justified.

  4. Amy Sherman-Palladino got her wish. Amazon has renewed “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” for a third season.

    The creator-executive producer of “Mrs. Maisel” prodded Amazon executives about a pickup on Saturday night as she accepted a Peabody Award for her 1950s-set dramedy about an Upper West Side housewife who ventures into standup comedy after her picture-perfect marriage falls apart.

    “You’re going to give it to us because we’re bringing home the fancy thing, right?” Sherman-Palladino said of the Peabody win for the show’s freshman season.

    Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, who attended the ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street, confirmed after the kudos concluded that “Mrs. Maisel” would indeed get a greenlight for a third season. “Mrs. Maisel” was initially ordered by the previous Amazon regime with a two season commitment spread across 18 episodes. Season 3 will likely get 10 installments.

    Season 1 of “Mrs. Maisel” bowed in late November. Season 2 is set to premiere later this year.

    “Mrs. Maisel” also bagged two Golden Globes in January for comedy series and lead comedy actress for star Rachel Brosnahan. With the Globes and Peabody win, the show is seen as a prime contender in the upcoming Emmy race.

    Or we could just compare him to the president that actually did use the postal service to stifle free speech (Woodrow Wilson).

    The comparisons between Trump and Wilson are quite strong.

    Alex Moffitt as Eric Trump brought the laughs.

    Easily one of my favorite new characters. He and Mikey Day really work well together. The Prince Harry skit was a great example.
