  1. But number one in your hearts!
  2. Negged for lying/distortion. From your link:
  3. It also reflects a general naivete about there being a nice way to do everything. A rapid (ordered by Trump) retreat from an entire country will never be neat and pretty. Recall Saigon: In many ways, the same situation. Two bloody options: stay and keep bleeding for no discernable gain or leave and allow the chaos consume all in our wake. I don't recall people using the Viet Nam retreat as political ammunition. There seemed to be an understanding of how the world works. Now? Not so much. One side will use any occurence to stab it's opponent and they don't mind lying about it from the start. Another aspect is that the TV press embraces the naivete described above. Hoo boy, this Afghanistan campaign is a bloody disaster. Our panel concludes we must get out. Hoo boy, a lot of bad dooky getting out of Afghanistan, let's go to the panel to hear them talk like there was a nice way to do this. We'll start with Trump's comments.... Idiot World Ascendant
  4. You get the feeling that MBG editors know that on a slow day they can always hit TexAgs and never miss.
  5. Cornpone sanctimony: Cornpone manly manfulness:
  6. Maybe an HVAC issue: I do wonder how they reconcile this with their firm belief in Elko's culture requirements and choosiness with transfers. Looks like they're mainly chasing stars.
  7. I'd just mention Jesus, and they'd get right in the car. Ted Bundy was nuthin.'
  8. Yes, all of America from Bryan to Katy will realize that A&M has at last arrived! They will be the talk of several Texas counties. At last, the love and appreciation for that special place will wash over Aggies (from other Aggies) everywhere. Huge indeed, my friend, huge indeed.
  9. This thread on TexAgs concerns their favorite Aggie, Johnny. I couldn't care less about the list. Of course, the Ags want to celebrate JFFB. Oh wait, third fucking post: Post #7 Let's see, the subject is basically great QBs; they immediately think of VY and then argue he really wasn't that great. They even dredge some old shit nuggets about how the game was given to Texas. I don't know if these guys met later at the Dixie Chicken to saw Varsities horns off together or not.
  10. All that money he put into a children's hospital could have got us into the final game.
  11. That's mostly an oldies but dummies thread, a parrot fest if you will. This was new: He understands our underhanded, toxic ways as his brain is squirming like a toad figuring us all out.
  12. Weigman was to be maybe the greatest QB in the country. Now many of them say their season was damaged because the played a "back-up" QB. You can only use that if you're forced to use a back-up not if the second team guy has been promoted. Their DL would devastate all opposing offenses as Elko was back, baby! They claimed over and over that they had the seventh most talented team in the country. They got to November feeling vindicated. Now it's the refs, Sankey, first year coach blues, and installing a new culture that justify the crash. The party line is the lie that most of them thought 8-4 would be a pretty good year back in August. And, hey, they were just one win away from going to Atlanta! You're exactly right. Thanks for reminding me.
  13. Don't you call me a child. I'll go outside and fight you right now! I'm a full grown, mature woman! Put up yer dukes! In the end, the MAGA right's destruction of irony may be it's most painful stroke.
  14. I don't think they're going to suffer, either. I must be particularly opaque today.
  15. I was just humoring my notions of what should become of such persons not trying to go metaphorical, though I see how you took it that way. Nope. It'd just amuse me to see them thus captured and hanging with the doomed fish. Billionaire marauders bring that out in me. I once lived in a republic that scorned robber barons rather than exalted them.
  16. You trying to get us all killed?
  17. We binged it over the weekend. Very good. I thought the Abish resolution was contrived, but the rest was gripping. Thematically, I found it an interesting and sorta new way to indicate the rapaciousness of the westward moving Americans (White man). The Mormons and the US are fighting over who gets first claim on territory that isn't actually theirs to claim. All the while, the people who belong on the land are subjugated and slaughtered almost as a footnote. All have elements of savagery as seen in Red Feather's decision about the prisoners he takes control over. Shea Whigham as Bridger is the soul of the movie. Kitsch and Gilpin and the rest of the cast are very good as well. Director Berg must be an attractive draw for actors.
  18. Some surely will. The ones already benefitting from GOP policies. Duh.
  19. From the Friendly State to the Rapine Republic of Texas. Taking the enlightened out of enlightened self-interest one education dollar from the electorate at a time. I've never experienced a military rout. But I am experiencing that sensation watching an unchecked enemy sweep across my country. In the fight, I was determined and passionate. In defeat, I feel like a resigned refugee. A watcher and only a watcher.
  20. So...Sark leaving is considered highly unlikely? I'd like to stand down from DEFCON 1.
  21. Couldn't help myself. I'll stop after this.
  22. There's a lot of usable language in that cartoon. Piss cloud perm? I'm using it.
  23. This country can't keep enough apples on hand to put out wildfires and not enough Finnish Forest Rakes™ to prevent them! We did when we were great! I say we build a wall around the fire and have the Finns pay for it!
  24. I think we can all agree that Chase Bisontis is the standard all teams wish to attain. I mean, come on. This poster is on the wall of every natty wannabe recruiting coordinator's office. But how did William get from skill positions to Bisontis? What the fuck is William talking about? I get the pandering about the Texas schedule, but after that? Future SEC generations of football scholars poring over the 2-year stretch? That being cracked by A&M? In the future, A&M will lead in football conference studies of past SEC schedules? WTF?
