Sounds like errbody agrees that Schumer's actions today are indefensible, but Orange Man Bad, so there's that.
Ad hominem responses unrelated to Schumer and his statements today is a weak strategy. Good luck with that.
Schumer is gonna end up having to walk back every word of it and make a full apology.

Keep on trying to justify this if you must, but there is no clean side of a piece of turd, it is known.

My favorite kitchen appliance is a vacuum sealer. I use that thing every day and much more than I thought I would.
Ditto on the vacuum sealer. I use it to individually seal steaks before freezing them after we do a bulk purchase at Costco. Also good for freezing portions from large batches. My deep freeze has a couple of batches of venison chili and some Italian meat sauce sealed, frozen and at the ready. Also pretty easy to reheat/defrost stuff in the bag using sous vide approach with warm/hot water.

That association may call itself a union, but teachers do not have the right of collective bargaining, which for most people is what defines a union. The district would not have to "deal" with Education Austin in any way, shape, or form if they discipline, reassign, or fire this guy.
Wrencher could be removed from the classroom tomorrow by the district, and other than maybe getting the rest of this school year's pay, he's out of a job. And neither Wrencher, Education Austin, the NEA, the AFL-CIO or the corpse of Jimmy Hoffa could do a thing about it.
Good point, but I bet they are pretty good at creating public controversy about "racism" and such -- the type of stuff that incumbent school board members would rather avoid by writing checks to the disgruntled.

No teachers' unions in Texas brah.
The district could get rid of him today, and all the district would have to do is pay him for the remainder of his contract. (And the district could probably get out of that if they could prove he knowingly violated district policies). Unless AISD signs multi-year teacher contracts, which I would bet they don't, the district is out the remainder of this guy's pay for this school year, 4 or 5 or maybe 6 months, so 25K at most.
But the district wouldn't do that. They would reassign him to tutor in the learning lab or some shit until the end of the school year, then not resign him next year.
That will all be news to the fine folks at Education Austin.
"Education Austin is the labor union for certified and classified employees of the Austin Independent School District. Created in 1999 from the merger of the NEA-affiliated Austin Association of Teachers (AAT) and the AFT-affiliated Austin Federation of Teachers/Allied Education Workers (AFT/AEW).
Education Austin is the first merged local in Texas and is affiliated with the NEA, AFT, TSTA, Texas AFT, and the AFL-CIO. It is by far the largest organization for AISD employees".

It seems so obvious, but we use the shit out of a garlic press like this:
Saves a bunch of time chopping garlic and easy to clean. $15-$20 bucks well spent.

Wrencher is apparently no stranger to the courtroom. Also 3 wives and four kids as best as I can tell, which is nice.

so...my niece knows them both (student and teacher). she wasn't there but her take (pardon teenage parlance and stream of consciousness):
" mr wrencher really enforces like... acceptance and equality and apparently the joke was anti-semitic so mr wrencher kicked him off and then the kids parents were like wtf we're jewish chill and mr wrencher was like no omfg it's either me or him. the story is accurate haha. everyone thinks it's so stupid it's equivalent to a black person saying the n word. like he's reclaiming the term bruh, chill "
it does seem like that's the story
What a dumb fuck. AISD will hire some high-powered outside counsel and then write a couple of big checks to make it all go away. Then they will have to deal with Mr. Wrencher and the teacher's union related to his employment situation. So much stupid here, but par for the course.

New stuff from Jeff on his Jeff Ward FB Fan Page:
MESSAGE FROM JEFF:
To avoid being caught up in SXSW clutter, my marketing team has decided to push back its substantial campaign a few weeks. You’ll love the ad campaign; it’s “vintage Jeff.”
I (along with my producer, Johnny), will be live on April 13th, and there will be plenty of ways to access both live AND recorded shows. (And no, KLBJ is not involved.)
See you soon,
Jeff -
Just read the complaint on PACER. This isn't just some cut and paste ambulance chaser complaint. Looks like the family has hired a lawyer that really knows his shit when it comes to federal education law. Will the facts bear out the allegations in the complaint? That's what the adversarial process is designed to ferret out.

Interesting about The Windmill. Haven't been there in a long time. Inwood Tavern and Ivy are both legit places. Glad y'all had fun at Grapevine. I need to get out and dive bar some more. I miss the old Loon and haven't been to the most recent location since Cliff sold the bar. Perhaps the next Loon location will recapture the magic of the original place? Let's hope.

I am very gruntled with them. Once you get them seasoned, they are as slick as any of the "non-stick" pans plus you can use metal implements without worrying about damaging anything.
The other thing I purchased along with the carbon steel pans is a chain mail scrubber. Works great on my carbon steel pans and my cast iron pieces.Which ones did you get?
I bought the World Cuisine pans that Amazon was hawking on sale right around Christmas. It was a shot in the dark experiment, so I don't know if pans that are more expensive would be any better. The chain mail cleaner is called "The Ringer."

Nice to get that run back!

That's bullshit. I thought that replays were a mechanism to get close calls right.

In that clip,
When talking about the low number of cases and zero deaths he states, and I quote: "...a lot of that is attributable to the fact that we closed our borders very early."
When did we close our borders?
Instead of focusing on his illiterate mush brain, we should be targeting in on his blatantly lying mind with that statement.
He's likely talking about this action taken in January, which he took a lot of criticism for at the time. Looks like it was a pretty good idea:

I was there 6 mos ago for a wedding dinner. It was good to very good but there are better places but the atmosphere cant be beat I ate everything on my plate twice. Mi Tierra is the equivalent of the Salt Lick for BBQ.
Not a bad analogy, but I have a difficult time eating much of anything on my plate at Salt Lick. Somebody needs to explain to them how collagen breakdown works.

There’s always the Rattlesnake bar at the Ritz. Might Not necessarily fit what you are looking for but it might be the most entertaining people watching in Dallas. You can simultaneously get propositioned by a hooker while a 68 year old man hits on your wife all before you get approached by swingers who are PGA tour groupies.
I have no doubt that all of this is true. Fun bar!

I also threw out the Grapevine -- haven't been there in years.
That's closing in on "dive bar" territory. That said, its a fun place and you just never know who or exactly what kind of crowd you'll see there.
Mansion bar or the Library bar at the Melrose (whatever it is called now) are fun on weekends. Cheers.

Jeff Ward to the Horn? That's one theory floating around the JW fan page on facebook, I could see it.
Except for the fact that his wife debunked that theory earlier in the thread.
