  2. Ah yes, both sides. If we're going to go back to where we lost the plot, though, that'd be the Reagan Revolution. All the economic policies that made America actually great started getting undone about then. And in the spirit of our aside, let me be repetitive about the reason: the me-now Boomers started voting themselves all the benefits, while denying future generations the advantages that propped them up. True leftism is non-existent as a ballot-box option. Despite the negatives of that side of the spectrum in the extreme, when it's not there at all, we get the Gilded Age Part III.

  3. I am a MD. My wife is a DO. I graduated med school in 2006. From a knowledge perspective, MD and DO schools teach basically the same breadth of information. MD schools are more competitive to get into and DOs schools tend to be less so (and are still probably back-up schools for people who can’t or didn’t get into a MD school). Really, the big difference is that DOs learn osteopathic manipulation, which based on my limited exposure is part legitimate and part quackery (a little to chiropractor-ish in my opinion). Most DOs out in the real world don’t seem to practice it, though, and most practice medicine in a very similar fashion to a MD. Nowadays, in my experience, there’s really not much difference between how a MD and how a DO practices medicine. I think the lines between the two will become even more blurred as the residency matches for the two merge into one one (i.e. may see more and more DOs doing their residency in MD residency programs). I know a bunch of worthless MDs and a bunch of really sharp DOs (and vice versa). Ultimately, it’s a personal choice and you should choose someone who you feel has your best interest in mind, regardless of title.

  7. It was a fucking Spring Game. There were good moments, bad moments and normal Spring Game-ish things. I like to think this was the last time we see such a poor offensive line at Texas moving forward, and I do believe the fall version at OL will be much improved. We have got to get over this fucking O-line hump. Hearing Mack Brown talk about our O-line today made me a bit ragey, considering he was the one who started us on this path of garbage O-line.

  9. Sounds like dad needs to go to prison. You know how we have strict laws and mandatory sentencing for drug crimes? How about we just do that for gun crimes? Provide guns to someone who you KNOW is legally barred from possessing them, and you are fully criminally liable for any crime committed with the guns by that person. All the state has to prove is that you knew he was not allowed to have them, and you provided them to him...and you now go up on four murder charges. Y’all good with that? I am.

  12. It’s the damn spring game and with a shitty system of “picking teams” instead of playing all the ones together. I thought it would be tough to watch/evaluate and it was. That being said, I like what I saw of Ehlinger as a whole. His passing to LJH and Duvernay showed some good improvement. LJH is gonna beast. Can’t wait to see him and CJ play together against opponents that don’t go against them everyday. Duvernay’s catch over the deep middle while getting hammered by 15 was surprising as well. Good stuff from somebody that is just supposed to run go routes. Looking back on that highlight film, Sam made some good throws that he would have missed last year. Hopefully he improves on his consistency too by August when the defense doesn’t know every play. I see improvement. I like seeing him run out of bounds too. Hopefully he can stay healthy. We completed passes to tight ends! That is a good start. Hopefully those guys can get some more yardage against a groups of DBs and LBs that haven’t seen the same plays over and over for 15 practices. I’m gonna reserve judgement on the oline until Maryland instead of raining doom and gloom. Injuries, the playing every down of the game and the mixing and matching all game just does not lend itself to consistency or cohesion. Hopefully by the end of August, with the new additions, injuries healed, more time under Hand, and getting to rest when we’re on defense, they’ll get it together. With that, the RBs, should come around as well. Defense is gonna hurt folks. Hager and Charles are going to wreck some QB’s lives. Can’t wait to see the true #1 defense with Gary Johnson ... They are going to be fun to watch bringing the pain.

  14. Well...pulled the trigger on the 69 hemi superbee. Went and chatted with the owner, old nam veteran. He's going to round up all the parts for it. Gonna get moved into my new casa in Florida this week and then come back and pick up the car next month. Here's to long nights in the garage and busted knuckles.

  16. And fuck you 2nd amendment assholes. You drape yourselves in the Constitution like it's the fucking Bible and infallible. The framers knew that it would need to be a living document to adapt to the changes in the world. Hell your precious 2nd amendment is just that. Although I'm sure you would like to go back to a time where women couldn't vote and blacks only counted for 3/5th of a man.

  17. Has anyone watched other spring games? They all looked boring, sloppy, and every team struggled in one or two aspects. (Minus Clemson...they looked good everywhere) I'm not saying our game was inspiring but for all you people thinking we will suck this year, you cant gather shit from any spring game. Especially one that mixes the teams up without true 1st or 2nd teams.

  24. You are touching on what I find the most fascinating aspect of all of this as it relates to intel and propaganda wars. To my knowledge that shit has never been dealt with in criminal or civil courts. We are basically indicting and extraditing, or trying to sue, spies. In the Cold War and prior, we would try to identify them and either feed them false intel or turn them, while they were attempting the same with ours. Particularly dangerous ones would be exterminated presumably, while those who were publicly outed would be detained and swapped if caught on our turf, or barred from entry if outed while on foreign soil. I guess with most shenanigans occurring via the net the courts are the most practical avenue? Tom Clancy would not approve

  34. Ok, so gotta post some sad shit. We were walking our pups in the neighborhood the other day and see a couple walking their old chocolate lab. We come up behind them and notice he has the little doggie booties on his back feet. As we continue, we see he's starting to have drop foot on his back feet, hence the booties so he doesn't scrape them up when they fold under. He goes for about 15 yards and then can't keep going and the man has to pick him up and carry him for a while. He tries again, makes it another 15 yards, and then back to being carried. I went through something similar with our old man a couple years ago. We walk into our house and a couple minutes later I come back out to get something from the car and see the dog and the man sitting in the grass across the street. The man has the saddest look on his face and is just petting the old lab. A second later his wife drives up in the car to pick them both up. Yeah, I cried.

  35. Need some prayers for my 11yr old English Bulldog. About 3 weeks ago, She got into my tackle box and got hung up on a rusted fishing lure. I got her unhooked, but apparently the hook got deep enough into her neck, that it festered in her gland. I took her in a week ago and they prescribed antibiotics. They seemed to work at first. Then, yesterday her entire face was twice what it was to begin with, to the point that her left eye was swollen shut. I got her to Kerrville in time to be seen, and they immediately had to operate on her. When the dust settled, the vet said that he had removed dead tissue in her jaw that equaled the size of half a grapefruit. When I saw her this morning, I thought I was going to be sick. There’s nothing to do now but dress her wound three times a day, and continue to give her antibiotics. The vet said it’ll probably be a month or more. It’s gonna be a long road ahead for her. I wish I was one tenth as tough as she is. Sasha is my hero. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
