  1. Sweatergawd Herbie cannot quit slobbering on the Big 10.
  2. Do y'all not remember Huey Long? This isn't new. I remember Molly Ivins saying of Obama back when he was still just a Senator from Illinois, "He's the only one up there with some Elvis in him." Trump had a line up against him in the GOP primary of a bunch of uninspiring and sometimes off putting goobers. Cruz is eminently unlikeable. Mario has the spine of a jellyfish. Trump got up there and tapped into the racism that's been part of the GOP appeal since LBJ handed them the South. He didn't whisper it like Atwater suggested. He opened the unfiltered tap and poured it out. It's what keeps ICE going, it emboldened the worst of us. Acting like we're above such things means that you are already surrendered. Point at the clown and laugh. He wants to be feared. Laugh at him because he hates it more than anything.
  3. I'm not so much angry as deeply disappointed. He wasted the goodwill we had for him. I can't say that it's radically different with Beto. Maybe Talarico can thread the needle. It's at least where I am going to send my dollars. Beto is better off being a fighter overall in support but that gun comment is going to be an albatross. He's not wrong, but damn son that's a third rail.
  4. I guess we're just not doing phrasing and that's ok too.
  5. There have been some spectacular meltdowns. TTom is still on the podium.
  6. He had a recent incarnation that got run. I didn't mention a different frequent guest to Purgatorio. GRU has had how many names? I rack up a lot of hits when it's a fatwa. @Hitch was the most recent.
  7. I love that guy. He's a regular on my feed. GenX no fucks given
  8. It means that she's figuring out that it's more expensive to raise toy cows and horses than she thought. If she treats her workers like shit and underpays them they don't want to work there. This is not a difficult concept to grasp. Go peel off some more cash and pay people fairly, treat them with respect, protect them from mistreatment by overzealous authorities and they will be with you until they die. This just in, horses eat cash like it was hay. Also, tractors and other implements are not cheap and will break down at the most inopportune time.
  9. We were supposed to just let Rex be a shithead? DonkeyCigars too? Yeah, hard pass. Fuck'em. For the record 10 to one on the @Derka measure.
  10. I had to look. I only have three on ignore and he's one of them. Yep, I'm good with my decision too.
  11. Koreans have to do the same and I don't think they can buy out of it. Much to the dismay of KPop fans and musicians.
  12. Hell, Selanne had to pay a bigger speeding ticket than that. I think his was over 120k.
  13. I've known needle freaks with better sense than him and brain fried waste cases that weren't opposed to getting proper medicine. He's so far up his own ass he needs a belly button window.
  14. Because he's willfully ignorant and prideful.
  15. @BearSchlong You know better than most that going to church and being aware and in search of the divine does not confer immunity to worry and stress or depression. Elijah and Jeremiah both were ready to check out. Fuck it, this sucks, everything is shitty and I just want to die. What I got out of their recovery was the essence of the farmer parable We don't know everything. No matter how much we think we do. It's not as shitty as we perceive it to be. Doubt your doubts. And get a nap and some food. Don't fucking give up no matter what. Make the universe take you out. Refuse to fucking die Sisu.
  16. Could be both? When I had my heart episode the best way I have to describe it was tightness in my chest and I couldn't catch my breath. The widowmaker was blocked and had a friend along for help trying to take me out. I was tired all the time previously but I attributed it to getting old and being too lazy to walk as much as I did before I put on the supervisor hat. I wasn't taking any meds, which I certainly should have been and it finally caught up with me. I don't know how much stress and worry contributed to it. If anyone has some good studies on this, please share your findings. I know stress/ anxiety/worry all contribute to an unhealthy heart but how much and what do we do about it? I do know that when they ran the two stents it was like a switch was flipped. Laying there on the gurney I felt like I could get up and go home. Seriously. It was night and day difference. Obviously that wasn't happening. I had to hang out for a couple of days before they would turn me loose, but I haven't felt like I was worn out all the time and I have more energy than before. It was a good feeling to hear the cardiologist tell me that we could cut it back to once a year instead of twice. It's going to be 5 years in May.
  17. Heard. Getting it as soon as it comes in
  18. Yay football. I don't know how long I will be able to tolerate it tonight. My level of give a shit is barely registering.
  19. After some consideration the best description I can muster up is a Yorkie. Insistent.yappy, but mostly harmless. He annoyed the hell out of Rex which made for some fine entertainment though.
  20. You've going to have to put up with a lot of Drew. Would not recommend
  21. He's also a member of a rather exclusive club. They can make things difficult for the Clips. I guess we'll see what happens.
  22. Yeah, we're stuck with watching the Cowboys getting embarrassed during prime time. Spike to me head
