Paul Snider is an idiot. IMO though, the greater idiot is a governor that allows idiots like this to jeopardize public health.

Voter? Yes. Leader? I doubt it.

I am way behind in staying up with this thread, but I can’t help responding. What a great post and your father is very lucky to have you. As we grow older we change. You will too. I’ve noticed older folks succumb to peer pressure maybe to a larger degree than all of us did as young teens. When I look at some old photographs, I say what a fool. Some, not all of elder political lunacy can be attributed to this. One thing to consider in attempting to understand some actions of our loved ones, is that as they grow older their fear of death often decreases. Just this one psychological change alone, results in subtle or sometimes confusing reactions to current situations. I feel so blessed that my parents managed to raise me even though their worldview was so much different from mine. They gave me what I needed most...love, support, and sometimes direction. This is just what the elderly need.

People are going to keep going out until they are in the hospital.

You were here 96 posts too long.

Not to worry Pancho, the Swine Flu only killed 12K

A helluva deal, and only fair.

Surgeon General, The President is in excellent health. OK

Just checked Amazon. Still available

To be fair, the wife and I have lately experienced some cold weather flights. This week however, we were boarding a connecting flight from Phoenix to Puerto Vallarta. It was at least 85 outside in Phoenix headed to warm beach. As our plane backed out of our gate it paused, and I jokingly said we are deicing. She said....Really.

Yes. OK. Bullshit...

Kim Mulkey checks just about every box

Elish is bringing it.

It is hard to transition to this new techno stuff when you are used to Morse code.

You are totally right. I agree with you on all of those. But something too often overlooked about real quality coaching is in game adjustments. The Aston defenders say look Baylor owns us but look at our record. We win because we out talent most of our opponents. Where we lose almost every game is the inability to coach up or make adjustments in game and especially at halftime. Most teams we often beat have coaches making far better game time decisions. This is where Mulkey kicks most of her peers.

I noticed your defense wasn’t informing her it was a $300.00 hoodie. Good move there.

How many times do we have to post that Shaka isn’t worth a shit and we could get better (me included)? This isn’t about Shaka any more. It is all about whether or not we will pay the bucks to fire his ass. I really do not know if CDC is ready to go there yet...maybe, maybe not.

I would recommend house rentals. Most are cheap and very comfortable. Angel Fire is small and easy to get around. A negative is dining compared to Taos and Santa Fe.

Not all is bummer, we got 69 votes. Yes

I have really have enjoyed reading this thread. I have been introduced to some new thinking or ideas concerning ancient religious concepts applied to today’s church. From time to time It is nice to see that others, like me, have chosen to give up bigoted, self-indulgent teachings from a childhood church denomination. I love Surly because in our discussion you get everything from the high brow to the down and dirty. Just the way it should be! After all I have read here concerning the current Methodist possible split, it just reinforces again one of my great disappointments of religion as we see it in real life...the hinderance or outright failure by the “Church” to establish congregations functioning according to the prayer of Jesus for his disciples. He prayed for them to practice and rejoice in unity as He and The Holy Father are unified. I think we all realize the Methodists are experiencing just another example of the pattern for the church dealing with discord among its members. It started with discord over circumcision, later on to papal authority, Moroni, pacifism, slavery, on and on, and now primarily abortion and LGBTQ. Who knows what controversies are ahead but they will certainly appear. I’ll just close this longest reply I certainly have written to a Surly thread by giving a quote I just kept thinking about while I was reading. It is by Richard Rohr a progressive (not political) Catholic priest in New Mexico. “The job of religion is to help people act effectively and compassionately from an inner centeredness and connection with God. The need to be right is not love.“

What’s the matter, cat got your tongue ?

Tech’s Duffy backs out on Tulane and reenters portal. Reckon Pirate came calling?

It is just more of the same crap over and over again, but I refuse to get used to it.

My biggest fear is that he rolls out 4-5 years in a row of 8-9 win seasons. CDC will not pull the string to fire him and we are stuck with the egotistical dipshit.

A lot of us were consumed by the hype. We really didn’t know Tom Herman, particularly his gross egotism. That is why we pay millions to have competent, skilled athletic directors.
