  1. You actually make me wonder if he is offloading his trolling to ChatGPT
  2. So the referendum I mentioned earlier actually passed handily, which was a very big shock. The campaign against dwarfed even the governors race here, it is a big, big deal. https://www.pilotonline.com/2025/11/04/election-2025-virginia-beach/
  3. No, there isn't. Populism by definition is simple answers to complex questions. Providing needed services and checking power is just basic governance. They are literally emblematic of what I said has to happen? Straightforward, engaged, not a billion years old, speaking to actual concerns voters have without getting mired in inane sideshows. I hope the Dems continue down that path.
  4. Why do y'all engage that idiot.
  5. So I actually won a case of wine on a bet that within 20 years of leaving office Bush would not be considered our worst President. I wasn't envisioning what we got, but I knew Bush wouldn't be as villified. As far as Cheney, @Bozo_Casanova is correct, and the reason is Cheney is a true believer. It was not an act.
  6. The biggest surprise of the night for me will be if our local ballot referendum passes. There's stupid money trying to rig the city council to disenfranchise minority representation. So far it's actually looking like it's gonna pass, but it's very close.
  7. Me too my friend, me too. I'm honestly surprised by this. Love it if so, if for no other reason than I had to pass eleventy billion Miyares signs on my way to work today.
  8. I forgot Bill Ackman existed for awhile. It was pleasant
  9. Cmon Jones. You can do this.
  10. Yeah her fucking district needs that shit, she is an opportunist
  11. It depends really. I have mentioned before, but I'm a trustee at our local university, so I get to see a lot of the nuts and bolts of this stuff, but mostly it is from lack of investment and moribund culture. The few schools that have pushed forward are doing well, including the one I serve at, but a lot just live in another era and are just withering. I tend to agree with you overall though. Charitable for you to put Tech in the same sentence with UVA and William and Mary though...
  12. I'm not optimistic but we will see.
  13. Sweetbriar is still going, but there's a whole lot of private colleges on the chopping block. The economic situation for them has been deteriorating for a couple decades now.
  14. On purpose? I keed. I had a lot of friends go there.
  15. I will say I got a blow job from one of the ugliest girls ever at Randy Mac. I refused to have sex with her. She was immensely pissed off.
  16. Halloween in 1998-ish? There was a pretty well renowned party out on a golf course every year. My best friend went there while I was at CofC, Greyhound up there and crashed with him Listen to South Austin, he's pre-med.
  17. He probably distracted a few GIs in 'Nam who got picked off by the VC
  18. I went Charleston SC. to Radford VA once. Bummed a ride on the way back.
  19. See, these two sentences can't coexist to me. I mean, I did it as part of driving across the entire United States, and it was singularly memorable for it's awfulness, to this day, 25 years later. For what it's worth I drove 25 hours the day before, Virginia Beach, Virginia, straight to Austin. Left at 9 on a Friday night, got into town 9 on a Saturday. Showered, hit 6th, had my buddy get called a pussy by the hottest bartender I have ever seen for asking for lime with his tequila, sleep a few hours and off to Vegas. So driving many hours doesn't bother me. It was the nature of that area. I'd say it was basically Mars, except for that stretch of Arizona from Kingman on up to the Hoover Dam, which literally looks like Mars and I'm fairly certain the people are actual fucking Martians. ETA:Also, driving 25 hours. Jesus. Oh to be young again.
  20. You forgot to mention it's 9 fucking hours.
  21. I will just add that Austin to El Paso is the singularly worst drive I've ever done in my life, bar none. There's stretches of 10 that are so flat, straight and literally nothing but tumbleweed and rocks that it feels like you aren't moving, the hands on your watch are just spinning around while you sit in place.
  22. What parts are those, the one gas station with the combo Taco Bell/KFC in Ft Stockton?
