Random thought: Pearl Beer was from the country of alebmhunert (give that a try) springs. 
I wonder how many of those sprangs are still working.

That word looks like a slangy, kind of a kids' way of saying "eleven hundred" in German or how it might sound like, but it got no hits on Google.

I mean, that whole itinerary was one classy-ass weekend:

Texas State campus tour

Twin Peaks

Buccee's (not listed, but word is he stopped there on the way to SA)

UTSA campus tour

Wax Museum

Ripley's Believe it or Not!

Ripley's Illusion Lab

Mr. Crabby's Seafood

 

Whoever that dude is, he's future leadership material for sure.

 

At least he did not visit aggy. Oh wait, that was for sunday but he got the sniffles.

The Texas GOP is gearing up to gut the Texas Citizens Participation Act by making it easier for SLAPP suits to continue and easier to deny the defendants the right to recoup legal fees for frivolous lawsuits.  Once again the party of individual liberty is out to stifle the individuals rights in favor of corporate interests and the wealthy elite.  Of course this effort is being supported by Texans for Lawsuit Reform.

Cool. I'm just curious if my wild guess was correct. Let me know what Alebmhunert means when you get the chance.

1,100 (Eleven hundred). The old Pearl Beer slogan was "From the Country of 1,100 Springs."

Measles cases now being reported in Rockwall County. One school age kid has died in west Texas. I guess we should brace ourselves for measles outbreak all over the state. This is so unnecessary.

oh, it's gonna get bad. I'm grateful that the people I care about also care about science and the well-being of their kids, so I don't think this will affect anyone I know personally. but it's gonna fuck up a lot of lives and it was preventable. i really don't know what else to say at this point

I mean, if their own parents can't be compelled to care, why should I? I still do, but it's because I'm a human with empathy and it sickens me anytime children are caught in the crossfire of stupid

Was it Pearl, or was it because you had 14 of them and followed it up with some 3 AM Taco Bell?

Focus on the kids and people you can help. 

No.  I'm done with that shit.  It's time for social chemotherapy.  Brutal, devastating chemo....because the only language assholes speak is pain.  So, let the universe speak to them in a way they understand.  If what it takes to get the assholes to grasp that maybe, just maybe, we live in a society and our actions impact other people, so maybe we perhaps might ought consider the impact on other people before we act, is the death of their children?  We crossed that rubicon a LONG time ago.  They are HAPPY to have dead kids stack up....so long as they are the kids of "the other."  Let the pain and awful loss bring itself home.

Empathy is dead.  Coercion by pain is the only force in the universe with any remaining power.  

I didn't make these rules.  I think they are insanely stupid and cruel.  But they are now engraved in stone.  Pretending they aren't is lying to yourself.

I mean, if this is what it takes to overcome the programming that these dumbfuck parents inevitably put their kids through, I'm on board.  If this outbreak gets widespread enough, I'm down with buying some airtime in a couple of years just to say - "Remember that time you almost died from the measles?  That's because your parents are in a cult, utterly incompetent and/or don't give a shit about you.  Probably all three.  Don't be like your parents.  Read a book. No, not that one - a real book."

Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) has a warning for veterans: you'll have to "contribute" to society if you need food assistance.

So I guess fighting for your country and maybe taking a few bullets, or maybe losing a limb is not a big enough contribution to society. Apparently one must still slave in order to be compensated by the very government that is responsible for your condition, you must work regardless of your physical or mental stability.

Republicans are flat out the most vile psychotic assholes on the planet. Why veterans support this piece of shit party is beyond me.

If @UTCzech III is 70 or older I’m going to assume he has slept with all of Halletsville and does house calls in Sweet Home.

FOX 7 had a news story about measles vaccination rates, which included a chart to data from Texas DHS that allows you to search by school district. I sense a trend among the lowest rates of vaccination against measles. You can find the full chart here. https://infogram.com/mmr-vaccinations-1h1749wny3mdq2z?live

At least when these kids get sick, the parents won’t be demanding the best care on earth at subsidized rates. Right?  They’ll accept what they can personally pay for. Right?

 

and as good Christians, they certainly wouldn’t run up an enormous bill and then stiff the hospital that cared for their little miracle
