  1. Jordan Ross committed to Tennessee? Oh well. Easy come, asiago.
  2. Houston Lee was renamed "Margaret Wisdom" after a longtime teacher and yearbook advisor that was very popular. They originally changed the mascot to "Wizards," but it appears they changed it back to "Generals" when they moved into the school building HISD built next door.
  3. what's up with all the empty sections in the upper deck behind the goal? Is Anfield under construction? That red card was bullshit
  4. Enable "Safe Search" on your phone?
  5. No one on the right will object because they've been dog whistled with the liberal media mantra for decades now. Further, right-wing media, which is now the predominant tilt of radio and television since the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine, will gleefully cheer alongside the "own the libs" mob and extol the virtues of unfettered law enforcement. I worked in television media for 10 years and found the newsroom, like most workplaces, to be a fairly accurate representation of society. We had Bush fanboys, people that detested Ken Starr, and most that simply wanted their Disney stock to go up. The irony for right-wing media is that when they are done owning the libs and the liberal media, they'll come for all the news outlets. Regardless. Then there will be no "news," only what those in this country who are more interested in having power than promoting democracy and a free press want us to hear.
  6. It's a mental handicap that begins when Dusty sits down to fill out the lineup card and the attitude that a player should get the day off because the team has already won the series, instead of just going for the kill shot. The notable exception is Maldanado, who plays regardless.
  7. This post needs more love. Now do Chas McCormick Scattershooting, what is it about “King Tuck” that motivates fans to wear crowns and not Egyptian headpieces? When was the last time one MLB team beat another team three times in a row by the same score? Whatever became of that shittastic hunk of “art” that rose behind the outfield fence during the inaugural season of Miami’s ballpark?
  8. Not surprised this was in Montgomery County. Not in the least. And all of this pabulum in this twat's Q&A is straight out of the script written by the same right-wing group out of Fort Worth that has thrown cash at these freaks and railroaded her ilk into school board positions all over the mid-cities. SOUTHLAKE
  9. Now? That douchebag has ALWAYS been a malcontent.
  10. Can we just get to the Orioles' bullpen already and get this over with?
  11. Off topic, but is any other part of this country as obsessed as the Metroplex with the white home, black roof shingles, large picture framed windows with the black window trim, and glass front doors? The two easiest jobs in the Metroplex these days are weatherman and home architect.
  12. Scott Nady actually had to get permission from Boise State to install the blue turf while he was head coach at Parish.
  13. James Ray sounds like a walk in the park compared to what is going on at the Jamboree. I've never not used mosquito netting at any summer camp with the standard issue canvas tents, even @ Ben Delatour Scout Ranch in Colorado.
  14. It just gets worse. South Korea Tells Scouts to Leave World Jamboree Site as Typhoon Nears The typhoon couldn’t come soon enough for other more embarrassing reasons. An underfunded mess. 70 sanitation workers for 40,000 people. Showers and toilets with inadequate drainage. Scouts and staff left to build needed infrastructure in the middle of areas that didn’t drain water or waste. Kids were literally left to dig their own drainage ditches. The typhoon saved them. Someone in the Korean government is alleged to have diverted funds from the event and will probably be scapegoated.
  15. World Scout Jamboree in North Jeolia Province, South Korea. Heatwave, marshland, no shade, standing water from floods, mosquitos, not enough fresh water, not enough food, and Scouts dropping like flies from heat exhaustion. What the hell is wrong with you South Korea? The U.S Scout contingency has evacuated to an American military base. Parents of U.S. Scouts received this correspondence on Saturday “Dear World Scout Jamboree Parents and International Service Team Members: On Friday, August 4, 2023, the US Contingent to the World Scout Jamboree has made the difficult decision that we will be departing the 25th World Scout Jamboree site early because of ongoing extreme weather and resulting conditions at the jamboree site. While we regret the need for the early departure, the move ensures the safety of our Scouts and alleviates pressure on the jamboree site services and infrastructure. The US Contingent will have a regular day of jamboree program on August 5, then move to nearby U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys (Camp Humphreys) on August 6 and remain there until August 11. Afterwards, Scouts will resume their planned departure and activities. The health and safety of our Scouts is our number one priority. On-site leadership has been monitoring weather and site conditions closely and has decided to leave the site early out of safety concerns. On-site leadership is in continuous communication with the World Organization of the Scout Movement and our South Korean hosts. Our hosts have engaged all levels of their government to support the jamboree and ensure a safe, quality experience for our youth and their leaders. Unfortunately, the extreme heat continues to stress the facilities and infrastructure of this site. The Boy Scouts of America is grateful to the Korea Scout Association, Korean Government and the World Organization of the Scout Movement for their efforts in the face of this historic climate event. Thank you for your well wishes and notes of care and concern. We will provide more detail on the activities that will be provided for our scouts as they are developed. We will continue to provide you with regular updates. Sincerely, Lou Paulson BSA International Commissioner Valdyke BSA Head of Contingent” Glad we passed on attending but we have friends that did go and say it was as bad as described.
  16. Poland should be in Minsk within 24 hours of Belarus attacking Ukraine.
