  1. You take a hyperbole-ridden binary view. Anyone not waking up as the Happiest Girl in the Whole USA must be riddled with dark thoughts and unable to see light. Same for anyone who doesn't share your notions that people always think things are bad, but they always get better. Lastly, you say you don't want to participate, but here you are pontificating. As far as I know, you're a good guy with brains. The worldview expressed here is childish and surprisingly self-righteous. We who are not like-minded to you are not necessarily the opposite of you.
  2. No offense, @UpperWestside, but that kind of happy talk and faith that something good will just happen is what distracts the electorate. This isn't just another trough in the graph of the US's ups and down. This is a sea change. It's worse than the Civil War because nobody is really fighting for the republic. We lamely look to the Dems to do something. They're the wrong tool. We should be in angry mobs trying to get at the enemies who have slimed into office due to election by anti-Christian Christians from the Catholic and Protestant side. We have rule by fiat and an unelected person with no standing doing as he pleases with government agencies. This is unprecedented. Maybe happy talk is the best way to go for your peace of mind, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's the way to anything. Climate. Government. International economy. International rise of fascism. That's a lot of shit to try to talk away.
  3. It recognized it, recorded the usage then sent it to the authorities. I'll remember you fondly. I hope there's not too much torture.
  4. That is a great point about the communications. I think I was alive at time when some of the public would care and the major news outlets would pursue the story.
  5. Yes. I'm sure the Roman Senate will depose Augustus Caesar any day now.
  6. First, where has this guy been since 2016? Second, Who said anything about non-profit?
  7. No no no. Schloss and CDC were swinger buddies in Ft. Worth where Schloss had to leave due to unrevealed deviltry that an Aggie heard about from a buddy of his close to the program. Schloss was an upgrade for the Aggies who hadn't consulted the guy with the buddy close to the TCU program. Aggies said "howdy!" to Schloss and walked him to the stadium. Schloss was awestruck at the traditions and high character of the Aggies. At a swinger party where they had upside down pineapples up their asses, CDC started his seduction. Honor codes had no place with these evil men. They met in a graveyard to seal the deal where both cackled and reminisced about the pineapple experience. Schloss was talking to t.u. during the College World Series! To t.u.! In the presence of the classiest and best fans in all of sports. Schloss chose pineapples, dildo-waving, and LGBQT tolerance over the very special place called Texas A&M University where people are part of something bigger than themselves. Betrayal most foul, indeed! The Aggies hired his assistant coach, beloved by the players and ever loyal to the dear old Texas Aggies. Earley is making his first season as Aggie head coach one that will not soon be forgotten.
  8. I drove through coming back from New England and just a few weeks after the shooting. Worthwhile side trip. I did the same thing passing through Tuscaloosa. I'm not like you rich fuckers going to all the away games. I drove through W. Virginia one time. Gorgeous drive but Morgantown is a surprising dump.
  9. If I were speaking of a football game, that's correct. It's not astonishing. I wasn't talking about the relative size of crowds. You and I seem to miss on a lot of things when we converse. How many billionaires were there 40 years ago? I doubt the number of football fans have grown by the same multiple. Written without rancor.
  10. They've already got the hater vote. They created the Hater Party. I hate them, but it doesn't really seem to do much good. I will, however, maintain the disposition.
  11. That's still an astonishing number. When I was a little boy, there was a TV show called The Millionaire. And, of course there's A very funny moment in a surprisingly funny movie.
  12. Oligarchies indeed have a small number of ruling dickheads who should be stripped of all possessions and forced to wander the land forbidden help by any citizen.
  13. We suck, but we're about the same as t.u. Except for our dominance of the business world, that is. I see they stick with one of their "modern era" start dates. If they go back to 1939, they'll have an even smaller conference to be mediocre in. Dang. Being fancy put me in second place.
  14. CRUELTY IS OUR BRAND
  15. I would love to be on the other side of this argument, but I wouldn't believe a word I was saying. You're right. I've mentioned a terrific article in Atlantic a couple of months ago about the Kingdom Christians. In Vanity Fair with Selena Gomez on the cover, there's a great and demoralizing article about the Catholic Right that starts with Candace Owens' conversion and expands from there. Between the Catholics and the Protestant hate movements, I don't see much room for persuading these people of anything. If you're local preacher/priest or lay person has told you that Trumpist hate politics are the will of God, and you believe it, I don't see convincing you of the relative advantages of policy. Writing the above reminded me of Adam Schiff's voice against Trump. Still breaks my heart. So, to the Trumpists in the hinterlands: And I know his fate.
  16. Did that argument prevent your restraining order? Next 15 year old boy who bumps into me is getting an ass whoopin'!
  17. This is a tired fucking take. Nobody is weeping. It's tough to lose a big job with national attention. It's public failure. I doubt he or anyone other than the tough guys even think in terms of sympathy or give a rat fuck about yours. I don't feel sorry for him, but I've failed before; it sucks. I empathize.
  18. Liucci Montana lays it all out.
  19. Facing SEC air is a week in and week out grind. It's not for the faint of heart. It's line-of-scrimmage air.
