  1. I mean....most folks were pretty pissed at Hamas for the brutal slaughter of civilians. That made them....what is the word? Oh yeah...."bad." Pretty clean and clear, unambiguous. So....tell me how Israel hunting Palestinian civilians "over a baited field" of food aid...is ANY different? Seriously, imagine that Israel had experienced some crisis, its citizens were desperate and lining up for international food aid, and Hamas forces did to Israeli civilians exactly what Israel is doing to Palestinian civilians in Gaza. We would -- correctly -- be calling Hamas terrorists, animals, etc. Sorry, you want to ignore the plain fact that Israel as a state has become, and actually embraced becoming, everything it purports to hate. When you purposefully mow down civilians lined up for food aid, you're a terrorist state. Hamas. Israel. In terms of "we're good with slaughtering innocents," tell me what the difference is between them?
  2. They’re gonna skip over old Bob Lee. Compared to the culture they’re building, Bob was woke.
  3. Jesus. I’ve driven over that crossing a zillion times, although it’s been a few years. I’m sure whenever I pass that way again, it’ll be overwhelming. And I’m just a person who spends time there. The trauma so many folks must feel. It breaks my damn heart.
  4. Yep. Wanna place wagers?
  5. The DOJ’s sentencing filing might as well have just said what they meant: “Why ruin his life? All he did was kill a n——r.”
  6. Again…it’s as if this regime was making an affirmative effort to check all the same boxes. And our media ignores it…while 40%+ of the country cheers it. Because we’re a fucking Nazi country.
  7. Huh. Could have sworn I sent you my "It only gets worse....and there is no bottom" newsletter. Did you not get it?
  8. Man....without going too far down that rabbit hole, that is a perfect encapsulation of everything that's fucked up about American Christianity. Culture that 1) hates gays, and thinks that men should dominate women, who should be submissive and obedient wives, and also 2) is built on open kleptocracy, corruption, and violent suppression of any contrary thought? Well, that's SUPER CHRISTIAN! Seriously. Seems like as long as you profess open hatred for tha gayz, doesn't matter what other sins you openly practice and endorse, you are a Good Christian Soldier. I say the more of these people who want to move to Russia to sacrifice their bodies on the altar of Putin's violent ego, the better.
  9. This. Christianity in America, as a political motivating factor, is mostly a smokescreen, not an actual set of convictions. You win by running a performative over-the-top personality. Period. That's it. We the people have spoken loudly and clearly. Bring on Dem nominee Wooderson, or the Rock or Colbert or whatnot. That's it. That's where we are. Ideas are for fucking losers. Fireworks and insanity is how you win.
  10. Further debasing of our degrees. Texas is going to offer degrees in only two things: Petroleum Engineering, and MAGA studies, within a decade.
  11. Blah blah blah....this, umm, taking away gingers' dignity thing...can that be interpreted to require Bryce Dallas Howard to spend some quality time with Brisketexan? Because that's definitely a dignity-reducing proposition, I am told.
  12. Shit, we're gonna do touristy stuff most of the day. Figure we'll get to Fenway late afternoon, to take in the sights and scenes.
  13. In dealing with bomb squad bidness, I would think that all such assumptions are a bad idea.
  14. Seriously? I'll buy you a non-frosty beverage -- we should definitely all connect before the game outside the ballpark.
  15. Well, the Indians' logo WAS something of a racist caricature. So, I get it. Bottom line, if you're going to name a sports franchise after an ethnic group or something of that sort (as opposed to something more geography-specific, like "Mountaineers," or even locale-related professions, like "Oilers")....it's just a good practice to let that ethnic group speak for themselves and whether they're good with it. E.g., FSU and the Seminoles, named after a specific tribe, which actually has a tribal government that speaks for the tribe - where the Seminoles have specifically approved and work in partnership with the university. I mean...mayb.....nope, can't do it.
  16. Better looking than me? You damn yourself with faint praise, amigo.
  17. Although, based on current pitching rotation, MAYBE we get to see Ohtani pitch on Saturday? That would be cool. Would be my second time to see him play (saw him pitch and hit for the Angels v. the Stros a few seasons ago....and he put on a freaking CLINIC, on both sides of the plate).
  18. Man....back when "women in prison" movies were a whole genre....
  19. This is really it. The world spent months discussing whether Israel was "going too far" in its war against Hamas. Now, these actions aren't remotely close to military actions. They are strikes against civilians. By a government which has numerous mouthpieces who have stated their intent to cleanse Gaza of all Palestinians. It's just indefensible.
  20. The appropriate answer is often "which one?"
  21. I've watched that dude drop $500 at happy hour on a stripper who was never, ever going home with him. Sad and pathetic. Like, even more sad and pathetic than MIA.
  22. Oh, 100%. For conversation, always go with the ugly/unusual stripper. That's just a good rule of thumb across the board.
  23. The bastards don't even realize they can't kill MIA -- he's already dead on the inside, like a stripper. A very, very, very unattractive stripper.
  24. That's actually a good possibility. I know that the lessor of Greenwood is the State of Texas (maybe even UT)....AND....that lease runs out very soon. Like, within the next few years. Was a 99 year lease.....90-something years ago. It's tough to sell a condo in Greenwood these days, for that reason.
