  1. Because the House is much more moderate owing to the difficulties in gerrymandering such small districts. There are 150 house members. In a state of about 30 million people. That means each House district has only about 200,000 people. When the districts are that small, it makes it real tough to do a good gerrymander. One precinct moved to a neighboring district can throw off that district. So they’re not quite clean districts, but they’re a lot more representative of the populace. The Senate only has 31 members. So each senator represents 1 million. That’s a lot easier to gerrymander, and the body represents that. It’s a lot more extreme.
  2. You see, kids—assholery must at all times be met in equal measure with assholery.
  3. Did I decide I needed a cruise on the Galactic Starcruiser? Yep. Is MrsLL all over it? Yep. is she buying a slave-girl Leia outfit for alone time in the cabin? Hell fucking yeah she is.
  4. I was there. Fucking everyone was there, bro. You, me, Matt Stafford, Lucy Pappilon, the A-Chi-Os and the DGs. It was the fucking place to be.
  5. Yeah--I think it was a pretty big reveal that the cell companies could do that. I mean, that's now pretty common knowledge. But it wasn't in the late 1980s.
  6. Daniel Ave. represent! I also grew up two doors down from Matthew Stafford. It was a happening street. He definitely did it. He left a message on the answering machine asking her to go out to the garage because he thought he left the garage door open. In that message, he said he was calling from his "mo-bile phone" at the Perkins Library at SMU. In fact, the cell signal was triangulated and he was a half-block from his house. So obviously he was lying in wait for his wife to come out to the garage to strangle her.
  7. My son had a band concert last night, so I mercifully didn't get to watch a minute of that abortion. Never been so fucking happy that my son is a band nerd.* * He's also a soccer nerd who scored the GWG in the Austin Super Cup Saturday. #notsohumblebrag
  8. When I was a kid, we lived five doors down from Lucy Pappilon, who was Railey’s mistress. And yeah—there was some neighborhood gossip about that.
  9. I think that’s the real interesting possibility. The prospect of being able to shoot down Russian fighters is probably something that would be pertinent to the interests of a lot of our fighter pilots.
  10. I would say that he made a sojourn over to Caesars this morning and put some money on Vegas, but the truth is he just sucks.
  11. Fuck you, Suter—it wasn’t enough to turn the puck over. You had to go skate to the slot and . . . stand there with your thumb up your ass whole a guy took a pass right next to you?
  12. Yep. The Germans got to occupy the whole of Stalingrad. For a while.
  13. Oooh—another Russian red line. Let’s see what happens when we step over this one. I bet nothing. Just like with the last one. And the one before that. And the one before that.
  14. I hate these stupid caps so much.
  15. The second period has been our kryptonite all through the playoffs. And so it’s nice to see us staying true to form.
