  1. That’s pretty good. I’ll pull for him to get 2nd after McLaren
  2. From 1997 https://www.texasobserver.org/molly-ivins-school-vouchers-1997/ Three strikes and you’re out? Watch Texas spend more on prisons than it does on schools. Thinking of making your tax structure more regressive? Come to the Lone Star State and see how it’s done. The latest brainstorm to afflict our friendly pols in Austin is school vouchers. Consider the beauty of this nifty scheme as it might eventually be worked out under the guidance of the Texas Lege. To improve the public schools (I swear, that’s how the advocates are advertising this lunacy): ■We give vouchers to all the students who are already in private or religious schools around the state. Right there, before anybody else even gets a voucher, we will have taken, say, $1 billion out of the budget for our public schools. Shrewd move, eh? ■We also give all the kids now in public school a voucher, thus theoretically enabling these children to attend the schools of their parents’ choice: Unfortunately, private schools might find themselves under no obligation to accept any of our kids; they could be rejected because of their religious affiliation, their disabilities, on the grounds that they’re not bright enough, because the school administrators don’t like their looks—any reason not specifically excluded by law.
  3. Do they golf? Some good courses. 8 days is a lot
  4. No kidding. I hope that’s not real. Luckily I just had some trees trimmed
  5. Well he is correct. There are a lot of things more worthwhile than Aggie football.
  6. I need to look at the schedule. My kid just got into racing so want to check out the track. We aren’t nascar fans though. I’ve been to almost every F1 weekend and prefer Fri and sat. Is it the same with nascar weekend?
  7. I’ve never gone out here for nascar but I assume tickets will get cheap closer to the race. I want to check it out this year
  8. Just saw chevron is going to cut 15-20% of staff. Are things that bad or expected to be? Is this just them?
  9. Eventually you should have an idea of what size clothes to buy. If you are very picky about fit then you probably shouldn’t be buying clothes at Costco
  10. That’s ridiculous. What a pain in the ass customer and they should be banned
  11. I can’t even remember the last time I tried returning something
  12. That’s what’s wrong with this country
  13. That was impressive for sure. Held off a lot of big names
  14. Yeah. I have a bad feeling about this one
  15. Was wondering if Galveston would get some surf out of it but I guess not
  16. They fired the IG’s. I wonder if they will gut all auditors next. Get rid of journalists next and you have a free for all for those in power
  17. As a previous private sector employee and current gov employee I can say they both have a lot of the same faults and issues. I’ve seen a lot more waste at public companies by far. Gov has auditing out the ass and lots of red tape but those are usually laws etc implemented by your elected officials. Yeah the gov wastes money but is very very cheap on most shit for employees. I need to renew my family’s passports asap.
  18. Well as long as nobody tells them to score more points then the other team we might be ok
  19. It got annoying watching Kim stand over a ball for 45 seconds on every shot. I don’t know how he does it, I’d totally fuck up my shot if I did what he does. It was interesting to watch once or twice
  20. That’s pretty wild …poor kid Listening to aggietherapist was probably a bad idea on his part.
