  1. If people believe they need something, they will behave as if they need it. People now behave as if they need social media. Its behavior that matters, not abstract logic.
  2. Haven't been confident since the Tulsa game, and that was undeserved, in hindsight. Yet, we will win.
  3. Yea, looks are not supposed to matter to us good people. But, yikes.
  4. I think that Freso/Bakersfield district has been pub my entire lifetime. By wide margins. That is some major change.
  5. Regressive? Fascist? Righty? Friend of the state? Need to work on this.... What is the opposite of radical?
  6. Sure. What the centrists want and what the progressives want in a candidate are not compatible. I think the Dems are well into the process of sorting that out.
  7. Funny thing, the great majority of my former fellow oil field folk were staunch conservatives. Gun totin', huntin' and fishin' and ranch living' lib haters. I guess they will enjoy him laughing at them.
  8. Well, he's a billionaire from New York, they trust his management skills (implicitly, I presume), and thus he could deal with Trump in a debate (as if that matters, as has been pointed out here). Oh, and would appeal to independents, who, in there view, would run back to Trump if the candidate is too progressive. I don't think this last argument holds any more. I think the independents have been given the Trump inoculation. Might be wrong.
  9. At dinner last night with a couple a fews years older, if one can imagine that. Anyway, your basic always lived in the NE, summer in Nantucket, don't know much about the rest of the world but such nice people. Topic turned to 2020 democratic candidates, and both were certain that Bloomberg should and would be the one. The bounds of politeness did not allow me convey to them how crazy and myopic that was. And, they had virtually never heard of Beto. I guess this "centrist" constuency is real. And fairly hard headed. Something to deal with, but I'm doubting they have the numbers now.
  10. $2 per night. Guess we need to up our game. Happy to do it.
  11. True enough her email idoicy doesn't have every Hillary element, but it will likely open hearings that will get into more and more and more embarassing shit. And get her on the stand... the breakdown will be both heart rending and delicious. Daddy will explode. And there's the payoff.
  12. You had me with bisexual atheist liberal
  13. The optics of the house passing and pubs blocking in the Senate would be so much winning
  14. Flying to DFW to drive to Commerce for a Tuesday after Thanksgiving thing with 3 of my sisters and other extended family. Then up at 2 am Wed to drive back to DFW. I'm not saying there is life there east of I 45. Talk about nothing to do. Not even any football on. And of course the wine will be terrible.
  15. There are complicated statements, but that isn't one of them. Ergo the question are you high... I'll be right over
  16. If Wazzu doesn't prevail Friday, they will all have to go live in caves. There is a bit of pressure on this game for them. I'm afraid for my neighbor's health.
  17. I want Wazzu in since that would represent a good world. But we don't live in that world. Then, imagine, Wazzu scores like 80 on bammer in the semi's. ESPN would implode. I could enjoy that for years.
  18. But I'm not dead yet! (M Python accent)
  19. CA is an indicator of the direction the prosperous parts of the US, including Texas, are heading. The good and the bad of it. No point in pointing fingers. Complain about the future you don't like, sure, but what are the specific proposals for a different future?
  20. In the first part of your post, you are describing every coach I have ever had, every sport. In my case, I would like to see a partnership between the two views. I do need some pushing, but I don't need to worship that.
  21. Hm. I might have to throttle back my depression.
