  1. I saw this tonight and was blown away. I’m trying to explain it to my wife and all I can say is - It’s about family, kung fu, laundry, taxes and buttplugs.
  2. Testifying doesn’t seem too problematic if she has done nothing wrong.
  3. PROFESSIONAL HITTER
  4. No CR - all this talk about inflation in food prices makes me wonder about the renewable fuel standards - food probably wouldn’t be as expensive if 33% of our corn harvest wasn’t used for fuel
  5. If I recall correctly, Silvio wasn’t originally intended to be a central character when they made the pilot. Steven Van Zandt auditioned for the part of Tony and Chase like him so much that they created the Silvio character for him. After the pilot, they realized that the character was great and needed to be a key part of Tony’s crew.
  6. Title 42 is interesting. If Title 42 wasn’t in force, it may allow for removal proceedings or criminal prosecution for illegal entry. Instead Title 42 results in being immediately returned to Mexico where the person can try and cross again. On the messaging front, I certainly don’t want to see a return to the Trump messaging of separating families, etc. However, I acknowledge that there is a middle ground here which could hopefully slow the surge.
  7. I agree with you on this and the situation at the Border is terrible. What specific Biden admin policies do you think should be changed?
  8. Yes - I don’t like sitting Chas after a 2 hit night. Let’s see if he can keep it up. Of course, Maldonado could go 0 for 100 before Dusty considers starting Castro.
  9. The crude oil export ban was silly when you allow for the export of refined products. The true beneficiaries of that policy were US refiners who could buy US produced crude at an artificial discount and then export gasoline/diesel to Asian/European markets. As someone mentioned above, allowing the export of US crude actually reduced worldwide pricing and brought Brent/WTI closer. For offshore leases, any new leasing activity wouldn’t result in production for many years. It takes years to explore and develop a greenfield development. Also it’s extremely expensive unless you can utilize existing infrastructure. Capital is available for drilling but capital discipline is here to stay. If the companies tried to grow significantly, their investors would revolt because they want to get paid (probably for the first time since the shale boom started). Also, there would be significant services cost inflation if growth started which would shrink margins significantly.
  10. Edey is what Kaiser Bob hoped George Mueller would become
  11. Let’s do this - Who is going to be the 2022 version of Panama Myers?
  12. It would be even more amusing if he gave it to Alito.
  13. Donors need a return on that investment
  14. I agree and that’s what I hope happens, but I don’t think the powers-that-be will actually follow through.
  15. I think we are going to be disappointed in the sanctions levied. The US is already indicating that impacting energy exports is off the table and EU members are already positioning to protect any of their specific industries. Putin is betting the west doesn’t have the spine to make any real sanctions stick.
  16. The American Taliban Actually getting into the middle of decisions between a child, parents and doctors because of their religious beliefs. The Party of Limited Government strikes again and is actively working to harm children.
  17. Carrabba’s on Kirby but it wasn’t on me as I was meeting clients
  18. Finally was able to watch Nobody with Bob Odenkirk - a very entertaining 90 minutes.
  19. Get out of that chair?
  20. Does he have a monkey named George?
  21. I’m not going to complain too loudly when the delay errs on the side of caution.
  22. Why not both? Omicron has changed the science and it polls well to go with the science here.
  23. I guess I’ve been lucky with my Whataburger stops for the last few months. The last one between Houston and San Antonio I’ve tried was the one in Schulenberg. App worked and our food was ready on time.
  24. still works in Houston - ordered breakfast yesterday from the app
