the real uninformed seem to be those who somehow think college is going to be "free". good lord.

WTF? My position on budgets and spending remains unchanged, and my position of being repulsed by politicians in congress remains unchanged. My position of failed morons like Paul Ryan, now Pelosi and Mitch McConnell running anything with regard to finance, budgeting and spending the people's money remains unchanged. My feeling that Trump has failed to control the budget process to lead us into some form of fiscal responsibility just as Obama failed, and Bush failed before him remains unchanged. Seems you also forgot I do have principles that may or may not align with a party, but my position on government finance remains unchanged no matter which party is in charge. I am quite certain my position on transgenders being allowed to serve their country is not in alignment with Republicans.

This tranny ban from the military. I don't like it. I am not one who is generally in favor of the military being a social experiment, and forcing issues on them. That said, if someone wants to serve let them do it. Find a place that suits them, and they can serve their country. If you think combat roles are not suitable, fine. Find someplace where their gender status doesn't impact the rest of the unit, and let them serve. This of course, if contingent on them being able to pass any and all physical requirements just as everyone else. Do not lower standards, but if they can be met then let these patriotic citizens serve their country.

What does it matter. Andy was proven a liar based on a paper trail and his dad. Roger was not. Roger maintained he never used. Congress decided to take the word of their former colleague who put together hit piece based on the word of a trainer trying to extort money from a former client. Through that process it was proven that Pettitte was a liar. It was proven the trainer was a liar and POS. It was proven that Mitchell was a man with an agenda who put together a report based on almost nothing but hearsay. It was not proven that Roger ever used, not proven that he lied about his use. The jury was never even close to convicting him because there was virtually nothing there. You can continue to eat up the nonsense and false conviction the media has fabricated if you so wish, but it is nothing more than a media driven thing. There is no evidence nor proof after a 2 year federal investigation and trial. That is from federal prosecutors who have a 90% conviction rate.

I believe there is zero evidence or proof he used, and I believe in the whole innocent until proven otherwise concept. Luckily the jury in his trial ageed. that is the issue here. after an exhaustive investigation and trial there was no evidence to indicate he used. Not sure what else there is to say about that. We know his wife took HGH for a magazine shoot. We know Andy used. there was a paper trail and his dad ratting him out. There is nothing indicating roger used. no paper trail, no evidence, no failed tests, no sudden body composition changes, nothing.

especially when there is exactly ZERO evidence Clemens used other than the hearsay from a trainer trying to extort money who ended up being a source for George mitchells bullshit report. Clemens withstood a grueling 2 year investigation whereby his entire life was investigated extensively only to turn up nothing other than hearsay and a syringe stored in a coke can. I really hope all of you who continue to act as though he was unquestionably a user are never part of a jury. The other side to that equation too is if you assumed somehow Clemens was actually smart enough to beat the system and come out of that investigation. rest assured, he's not. if he was a user it would have been proven.

he also lied about it multiple times, and was accidentally outed by his own dad on Houston radio who admitted to picking them up for Andy.

well thought out response. What does trump have to do with the fact that ideology is a failure each and every time it is applied? I didn't mention trump. I am not a trump voter. So you may kindly go....

When we had those 90% marginal rates nobody paid anywhere close to that. Tax receipts were about 16-20% of GDP. Same as today. The idea that somehow those rates would work is absurd. They can't work. YOu know that, and I'm frankly shocked someone of your intelligence would ever insinuate that those rates were actually paid and prosperity ensued. You know better than that. As for cost of education it's a pretty simple issue of supply and demand. There is now endless financing available for college education, hence the latest trillion dollar crisis known as the student loan crisis. Easy money translates to excess demand while supply has remained unchanged. This isn't rocket science either. When I attended UT my tuition for 15 hours was about $500-$750 per semester, but the supply of people trying to get in was quite a bit different. So yeah, her absurd hard left socialism will fail again just as it has every other time and place it's been tried. HEll, look at what has happened to the NY restaurant scene with their huge jump in wages. 90% of restaurants reported price increases last year while the inflation resulting from it has not improved the lives of the restaurant workers, and been quite detrimental to the ones laid off.

it's quite frightening that anyone with her ideology receives anything other than absolute admonishment and scorn. It all sounds good. It is always a spectacular failure.

Palazzo is actually my favorite place to stay. Rooms are huge and inexpensive. Greta restaurants on site, and reasonably priced blackjack and craps can be found on weekends during the day there.

I went to yardbird twice on my last trip there. It was excellent both times.

You’re only hearing one side because everyone on the prosecution side has declined to participate from day 1. They have asked them to participate. They haven’t done so.

Went out in Ennis this morning and it was very very sparse. Got a couple of ducks. Kiddo got one and I got one only two we had shots at so at least we made the most of our opportunities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the more I see of the new Supra the more disappointed I am. It's just terrible.

especially after she talked shit about beating the other dude he had a hot brown on his menu at his restaurants.

I hope so. I am heading up there Saturday for a sunday morning hunt. Gonna be a cold mofo, but I hope it drives the ducks out.

agreed. looks like a hard top try hard miata. terrible.

how can you say this when we had an interim AD and the president of the university fly to Tulsa to try and save Charlies OC hire who accepted, then bailed on him knowing Charlie was going to get fired. Fenves and Perrin fly to Tulsa and give the guy 2 years of guaranteed money no matter what happens to Charlie. That seems like a lot of support. Charlie is the one who lost to Iowa State and Kansas. Not sure what he needed in terms of support in order to not suck so badly. Is USF not supporting him? Because his results there are almost exactly like the ones here. A team of good athletes that is woefully unprepared each week, and beaten by rosters with less talent over and over and over again. Support or not, the guy is a really terrible football coach.

not yet. Theyre on opentable, but I have not been able to attain a reservation at any time we can make it. That's fine for now since I am on a fairly restricted diet anyway at the moment.

There’s a big parking lot there that they share with Walgreens and the rest of the strip. It’s not an issue.

those days are over. THey have moved them to break away speed and the hitting academy, so it's all indoors now.

MIght as well. WULL has try outs on Saturday. Seems early, but ready to get the kiddo back at it.
