  1. Rhinestone agenda. All bling and Jesus. Sure to drag rural votes and soccer moms. Can we add a wall on the Red River to keep out Okies and northers while we're at it? I mean Trump's wall is working wonders, right?
  2. i wish they would slip the vaccine into chewing gum and snuff. They don't give a shit about any other additives of substances that are put in them. Once that kid draws it's first breath, it's on its own. Bootstraps and all. GQP made sure they made it out of the womb, now it's their time to do their part. Or, I don't know, develop a decent online education program that kids can use when they do have to be quarantined at home. Maybe something like a cross between Sesame Street and the old Leapfrog systems. But I forgot, then you'd have to fund hi speed internet and give those ingrates computers too. Forget that. I'm really surprised that grifters like DeVoss haven't already started programs like this.
  3. Cruz is a politician. AOC is a states(wo)man. We need more statesmen.
  4. This shit right here. I could be mistaken, but I would think there would have been telescopes all over the place aimed at the moon during that period, and if they truly weren't there, someone would have pointed it out. But logic no longer counts. Give them a compass and point them west and tell them to keep walking until they get to the edge of the earth.
  5. This is a great demonstration between two polar opposites. #teamAOC Sorry, can't figure out how to imbed the video.

  6. Gonzales County sheriff dies following long battle with COVID-19, officials say Sheriff Robert Ynclan died Sunday from the virus https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2021/09/06/gonzales-county-sheriff-dies-following-long-difficult-battle-with-covid-19-officials-say/
  7. Would be interesting if you could compile the stats on selected tests. Like all of ours, then see the scattershot. And I agree some of the questions could have been worded better or split out better. Like "improving humanity through genetic mods AND abortion" Why not separate? Not like 101 is that much worse than 100.
  8. It's the poor country mouse vs the slick city mouse story. They don't want to understand you. They want their lives to seem better than yours. Whether it is or not. "Yeah maybe I live in a double wide, but it's mine, on my property and I can go outside and pee off the porch and no one can stop me. Try that in your fancy city apartment you don't own!" And that resentment has led to a rise in Trump's popularity. Now it's gone on to "I'd rather die than get the jab because this country is going to hell and Jesus is coming any day!" The problems in our state can be laid at the feet of the GQP. How do we get people to stop voting for them? If we don't understand why they do, then we can't help them or ourselves. Right now there is a very strong Republican push to solidify their hold on the small rural counties. Day before yesterday Sheriff Arpaio was in Medina County. That's Hondo and Castroville. They have had dozens of these events in the past 3-4 months all over Texas. They know that the voting power of the state resides in the bigger population centers. And they know that if the rural counties could turn out more democratic votes, then they are sunk. So these events are being held to bolster the red vote and intimidate the blue vote to stay home. Plain and simple. If we continue to discount or ignore the rural vote, then we do so at our own peril. The republicans aren't, they are filling that void, pretending to be the voice of blue collar. And that void is there because there is no message or support coming into these counties from the Texas Dems.
  9. Are we going to do the annual "donate $25 of pyro's money to someone else" side wager too?
  10. Lackey was about a decade before my remembering zone. I have enjoyed reading your recollections of him. He reminds me of another UT DB from the valley who went on to play in the pros named Landry. One of the best things about Surly is this type of service. It's kind of like having a digital hall of honor we can open any time and share things about great people of UT. It's oral history turned into written. I wish we had one board devoted to UT individuals who made an impact, great or small, so we could have our own little wikipedia here in surly for reference.
  11. Take a handful of Thermotabs, right?
  12. This is a pretty good site for latest data on cases and death trends in Texas counties. Doesn't get in to vaccination rates. https://247wallst.com/tracking-coronavirus-in-texas/?utm_source=newsbreak&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsbreak&utm_content=tracking-coronavirus-in-texas&wsrlui=t9454741 Here's the article I found this link in: https://www.newsbreakapp.com/n/0bkNNSxg?share_id=eyJ1c2VyaWQiOjMwODg4NTkyLCJkb2NfaWQiOiIwYmtOTlN4ZyIsInRpbWVzdGFtcCI6MTYzMDY5Mjg1NDkyN30=&s=a3&pd=025bX65z&hl=en_US
  13. Well, it sure as hell wouldn't have helped anything. Just another way to muddy the water in the big blue counties.
  14. Curious what the vaccination rate would be at the stadium considering how many are coming in from outside Travis Co. I can't imagine what this looks like for B/CS. But Trump said heat is this thing's enemy, right?
  15. Enjoyed The Defeated. Good to see Taylor Kitsch doing well.
  16. I doubt he got the whole nut up front. I would imagine there are stipulations in his contract to grow his base, or possibly bonuses for base growth? Either way, he's grifting. This type of thing started happening in the rural area around San Antonio a few months back. It's what finally got my brother's attention.
  17. Here's a spin I hadn't seen yet. Might be a bit far fetched, but it seems plausible under this law.
  18. and the women who aren't satisfied by those men. Go back and watch the debates on this topic, the heartbeat debates on the House floor. Those women are the handmaidens for Abbott, Patrick and their ilk. Just ignorance appealing to ignorance.
  19. This country, and especially the red states are hopelessly repressed when it comes to sex. This is just an extension of the misogyny we are seeing rear its head to stand alongside racism. It's driven by very unhappy older white people who are scared to death of losing control. Not just men, but women too. The TDP would do well to put together a talking point around increasing sex and parenting education. Add in relationships in general. Never mind what the red morons say about it, start pushing for the right things. This is a prime time to get out some strong messaging.
  20. I'd like to think we took some of that extra time to put in different control boards in a lot of that gear. Everything works fine until they press the trigger, then the missile goes about 500 ft and then does a 180 and homes back to the launcher.
  21. 19-year-old Navarro College student dies from COVID-19 https://www.fox4news.com/news/19-year-old-navarro-college-student-dies-from-covid-19
  22. I guess Covid isn't fast enough for some of them. Civil war training going strong. Dumbasses.
  23. Yeah and that kind of crap makes Art Bell type shows seem sane. And from what I read lungs aren't one of the more successful organs to transplant. The following hits very close to home for me: Why Some White Evangelical Republicans Are So Opposed To The COVID-19 Vaccine https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-some-white-evangelical-republicans-are-so-opposed-to-the-covid-19-vaccine/ The bolded part about "end times" reflects a lot of sentiment that this country has jumped the shark, and there is no way it can ever repair itself. Therefore death and living in heaven forevermore is preferable. Suicide by Covid. God will sort it out and reward those who were loyal to him.
