  1. Same here. Son in law is the young Turk of Allen residential real estate. Which means grandson is here which means wife won't leave until grandson finishes his career at QB of Allen High School.
  2. Um, how can you be a Confederate with bone spurs?
  3. I'm probably closer to Joe's age than you, and I remember when there were more quality shampoos on the market and a sweet smelling pate was better appreciated.
  4. Intellectually, I agree with you. I turned that game on when we were up by 14 or so in the second half. Hard to say that emotion and coaching didn't have a little to do with the final result.
  5. LBJ and Lady Bird and Honest Joe Biden and Robert Caro have pieces of guys like Trump in their stools.
  6. We know Trump raped a woman. To be fair, Biden maybe one time probably thought about raping a woman, so they are both the same.
  7. The trick is to understand this, but not to let that understanding ruin your day.
  8. Just to keep things in perspective, current anthropologic theory suggests that the original hunter gatherers were extremely happy - arguably more so than men at any other time in history. (Except for their final day, when they were (hopefully) surprised and murdered due to their inability to pull their fair share.) So things can, indeed, get better.
  9. Fitzgerald, like Hemingway, wrote better short stories than novels, IMO.
  10. Going Zero - by Anthony McCarten (2023) (Audio) Meh. Great idea for a novel. Starts out fine, cleverness peters out in the last 1/3. Dialogue stilted. Narrator on audio not great. Technology perfunctory. (Probably sexist, but women narrators trying to differentiate between male characters run into trouble. You don't sound like a man in the first place, so why try to not sound like a man ten different ways.) The movie will hopefully clean that up.
  11. Yep. No country for old men. Below is still the funniest book I've read in the last few years. Just an incredible portrait of his mom and dad. And as a Coen Bros fan, I loved the stuff on the Coen's early days. Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker 2020
  12. In France they call them Les Supremes.
  13. I just realized that dotard's legal strategy is the same as my coitus strategy.
  14. Depressing amount of fuckery being done by this Court. The irony is that the lower courts at least held up against Trumps "steal" lawsuits. We should be have been debating over the last two years how the courts arguably overreacted to Jan. 6 and imprisoned too many and barred Trump from ever running all before Jan. 6, 2022. Much like we are discussing Covid overreach, our debate now should be about insurrection overreach, and how depressing it is that Meatball Ron is going to claw his way to the nomination. Not the high likelihood of everyone being fucking pardoned.
  15. The Supreme Court is going to copy the Appeals Court's work, tweak it just enough to make it look like their work, but in doing this will give Trump at least a month of delay.
  16. Dreamin Wild (2022) I kinda thought I was okay with Mopey Casey, but this seemed like a nice simple story that might have been a little fun, but the final cut was captured by Colin Robinson at the last minute. Good Time is a nice song though.
  17. Are they both excited about a pit stop at Mi Tierra on the way?
  18. His momma called it "kissing the penny" and that's what imma call it.
  19. Yeah, like there is any time to actually confirm a replacement. Get real.
  20. Which is the point I have utterly been unable to communicate. Why not both? Excited about Biden continuing his efforts and also supper pumped if he is unable to and Kamala takes the reins. I think Kamala is a huge fucking selling point, especially in comparison to the shit the Republicans are bringing to the table, and the Dems needs to sell and not be defensive about the fact that Joe is long in the tooth.
