The Mighty Ducks are in 1st in the Pacific?- Texas BBQ
I've never liked El Fenix so I cringe a little at the comparison. (But I grew in SAT.) When Sammy's opened in 1991, Uptown was a ghetto. There was NOTHING down there. It basically sprung up around them, which is kind of wild. I moved to Dallas in '98 and started going there with my roommate. Met the owner's son (now my extremely close friend) through my ex-wife, who went to HPHS with him. At one time, Sammy's was pretty good comparatively speaking before craft BBQ took off. It was better than Sonny Bryan's or Dickey's -- back when Dickey's was the OG location and maybe a dozen or so other places around town. And there wasn't much else. My buddy opened a second Sammy's in Preston Center that I helped him run for 18 months between newspaper and insurance careers. Like I said, my affinity for the Prichard family probably skews my feelings but that is about the nicest Highland Park family you will ever run across. The downtown Sammy's will always have a place in my heart as long as my buddy owns it. Is the brisket world class? No. But it's not bad. And he's not charging $35-$40 per pound. And I stand by the sides -- baked potato casserole was practically invented there. The okra is legit as is the potato salad (if you like mayo potato salad -- I like to just a little bbq sauce to punch it up), onion rings are made from scratch (and to order) and Apple Pie is fanfuckingtastic. You can also eat lunch in there for less than $25, which has gotten impossible to do at many BBQ places in this state. EDIT: /csb time. My buddy's parents used to be in the movie business. They used to do the low-budget type movies but they were ultimately put out of business by VHS. His grandfather (I think) produced Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or some shit like that. They used to own the Highland Park Theater. They went belly-up on that but his dad was a great backyard BBQ guy and his buddies said they'd stake him to open a place they could all hang out at. That's how Sammy's came about.- Texas BBQ
One of my closest friends owns Sammy's. It's never been BBQ on par with anybody that makes the Top 50 but it's a great location, a cool old food stamps grocery store, the family is wonderful (his mom and dad, who opened it in 1991, are now gone -- his sweetheart of a mom passed earlier this year) and the sides are still terrific. Best fried okra in town for my money. And it's relatively cheap. I stick to turkey sandwiches with a side of sausage, okra or potato salad, maybe the spinach. Apple pie is incredible too. I don't do pecan pie but I hear it's really good there. They make a killing on events in the evenings such as rehearsal dinners, work deals, etc. It's not doing the numbers it did pre-COVID as downtown hasn't really rebounded as well as you'd hope but they sold the dirt to the Fed several years back and made a nice little bit of money.- Trump’s America

Jeff Tiedrich: welcome to the Republican nervous breakdown https://substack.com/home/post/p-178141695 oh really, Dan? it was just ‘Democrats voting for Democrats’? then how do you explain what just happened in Mississippi? I’m pretty sure it’s not even legal to be a Democrat in deeply-red Mississippi, yet the Dems flipped enough seats in the Missouri Senate to break the long-standing Republican supermajority there. what about the Wichita, Kansas School Board? Kansas is another one of those states where Democrats are rare as hen’s teeth, yet the Dems won local elections all over the place. look what happened in the Republican stronghold of Buck’s County PA. and look what went down in Crenshaw’s own state of Texas. Subscribe Republicans, everything is not fine. open your eyes. but sure, absolutely — keep it up, dumb-asses. keep pretending everything is fine. keep ostritching your heads right into the sand. keep ignoring the needs of We the People. keep kowtowing to Dear Leader and his oligarch pals. keep pissing on our heads and telling us it’s raining. keep ignoring the lesson of Tuesday’s election. see where it gets you. oh, and please — pretty please — keep spewing tone-deaf shit like this. “the economy and healthcare are two of the primary issues in the country clearly, and that’s why we are delighted to run on our record. we are addressing that. we are delivering for the people.” this is where Republicans fail — because they can fart out all the fever-dream fairy tales they want about how the economy is awesome, and Dear Leader’s going to get everyone a pony, but voters who live in the real world know it’s all bullshit. tell someone who just lost their SNAP befits about how Republicans ‘are delivering for the people.’ tell it to someone who just emptied their wallet buying a week’s worth of groceries. tell it to someone who just found out their healthcare premiums are tripling. Republicans, please run on your record, because your record fucking sucks. if things keep going the way they’ve been going, next year’s elections are going to make what happened two days ago seem tame by comparison.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine.

It’s a feature not a bug. The sole purpose of the GOP is to make it easier for wealthy people to remain wealthy and acquire more wealth. End of story. Remember the old PJ O’Rourke quote: “Republicans are the party that tells you government doesn’t work and then get elected and prove it.” It’s done on purpose.- Election Day 2025
