  1. There's a line of kid's books one of my daughters read when she was younger... Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales. One them, I shit you not, is titled "Donner Dinner Party." https://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Hales-Hazardous-Tales-Donner/dp/1419708562
  2. Trucks shouldn't be allowed in the left lane at all. 2 lane, 3 lane, 4 lane. Enough of that shit. I spent a considerable amount of time on I-10 Saturday between El Paso and Houston driving behind semis in the left lane doing 65-70 in a 80 MPH zone.
  3. Went to Carlsbad a few days ago. Plenty big.
  4. Semi trucks passing other trucks in the left lane but barely going faster than the other truck. Fuck those assholes.
  5. So on point for the man who stiffs other businesses to get upset when others do it.
  6. The local offices usually pick up the phone. The D.C. number always goes to voicemail. I called that one after talking to Madchen Goebbels and left a fairly sarcastic/snarky message. Like I often do. The best is calling the ones in Tyler and McAllen. Those people often have no clue what their asshole boss is up to.
  7. I called his Houston office the other day to voice opposition to this amendment. I had two points: 1. The additional cost for federal, state and local governments. I pointed out that the part of small government should want less regulation and less expense. 2. The elitism. Before I finished saying "my second reason for opposing this the elitist attitude..." before the young woman I was speaking to get really, really hostile. Up to this point, I had made this about the amendment and not what a sniveling piece of shit she works for. I reminded her that I me reasons were straight forward and especially #1 was fair and logical. I could tell she was ready for me to make some kind of Cancun joke but I abstained. So in conclusion, Ted Cruz and his staff continue to be pieces of shit.
  8. Bingo. Trump's appointees will be batshit crazy. And remember, "Acting Secretary of X" has all of the authority and none of the oversight of confirmation. Trump wins and we're turbo fucked.
  9. I disagree. I think someone like Kristi Noem would galvanize those people.
  10. Margaret Brennan did the same kind of thing on CBS. I don't even know why they bother.
  11. It's a good thing I don't go on deep sea submersibles.
  12. Sarah Sanders Huckabee, I think.
  13. Gee, Ted, who do you think is partly responsible for all of the threats made against politicians? Different rules for the Dukes and Earls I see. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/03/ted-cruz-airport-security-00139430 Asked about the need for his amendment, Cruz told POLITICO that it’s about ensuring that political VIPs aren’t endangered as they pass through public spaces in airports. The draft says the extra security would be available to those who are currently or have previously “been the subject of a threat.” There are “serious security threats facing public officials,” Cruz said Tuesday. “It’s important that we take reasonable measures to keep everyone safe.” The proposal comes at a time when threats against lawmakers are on the rise. The Capitol Police, the force that protects Capitol Hill, said that in 2023 it investigated about 8,000 threats against lawmakers, an increase of 500 over the previous year. And those threats tend to spike in election years, suggesting another bump is on the way.
  14. Let's be fair, his fastball wasn't all that. But he did have a nice curve ball and changeup.
