  1. Background checks should be in easy pass based on support but the NRA wants nothing done. You know we did go to 55 to "save lives" now we are back top 80 miles per hour. If background checks have little effect the battle can go the other way.

    Trump's trade policy is moronic.  It's populist idiocy.

    By far the biggest reason I am a Republican is the difference in economic policy - taxes, trade, fiscal restraint, and so forth.  But Trump's trade policy is the populist crap that I hate.  And for a few decades it is very difficult to have fiscal restraint because both parties have a kind of veto power.

    Fiscal restraint has not existed in either party for 30 years. I use to lean republican due to taxes and fiscal restraint but the second is a myth. This year taxes became a payoff to the top and the middle class in a few years will be back to getting screwed. So I have called myself an independent for some time but the republicans do not even look like a viable choice these days with all their populist craziness and self serving ways combined together.

    I get that JerryWorld has to be the choice for DFW but I wish the Cotton Bowl would get it given its history as a World Cup 94 site. Plus, JerryWorld just plain sucks. 

    Only World Cup game I ever attended was at the Cotton Bowl, Argentina v Bulgaria. The color at the start of the game with all the flags and confeti was just amazing. The Cotton Bowl was just a different place. I have been to many Texas v OU Sux games but the WC game ambiance may have been the only thing to come close or surpass the intensity of a Texas v Oklahoma game right at the start.

    Aside from highlight of Argentina losing we got to experience a soccer melee.  We ended up seating behind the Argentina "Porra" in the end zone and some drunk Mexican guy wearing a sombrero was flipping about 50 Argentinians off right after they lost. He took out about the first 4 but then went down and the cops had to come in to stop it. They do not do it quickly. They first surrounded the ball of humanity, lock arms and then take out their batons.  Do know what happened next because we got out of there before the additional pounding and arresting started.

    Germany have injury concerns with Neuer & Reus hurt, as well as striker concerns. Spain should be strong.  Brazil & Argentina should go far.  Chile & Columbia could make some trouble, and France & Belgium have the talent to go deep.  It’s going to be another great World Cup.  

    Chile already made the noise it is going to make.

    2:25 AM - We order two orders of fried pickles, a Cobb salad, a bowl of soup, two orders of Blueberry blintzes, two Rueben sandwiches, a hamburger, two cheese stuffed potatoes, an order of fries, and an order of onion rings.

     

    I bet you can't eat like that anymore without consequences. I miss those days myself.

    This why when evangelicals try to act like they have morals, I will laugh my ass off and say; your kind supported Trump, you have no credibility ever again.

  7. The fulfilling aggy tears over this call.

    When longhorn network shows this game again someday, we need to relive it on a new game thread so that we have it here at surlyhorns.

  8. A long time ago I decided I would use the same avatar on message boards that I use for my FFL team.  Since I suck at fantasy football and my team is dead by week three every year I put up a Calaca for Dia del los Muertos. Also, it shows my heritage.

    These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one. You know, you gotta stop them at the beginning. Like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never let him get away with that, they was just asking for trouble

     

    Why is it that read that and I hear Clemenza's voice and not mine.
