  1. Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty easy if you have an IQ > room temp. (sorry aggy)
  2. And wait, there's more! This was produced by Mike Ness of Social Distortion!
  3. If you're into music majors, then UNT is the better choice. God help them, though.
  4. In an argument that has taken aback at least one legal scholar. Trump’s attorneys claim that the Constitution prohibits Congress from enacting any legislation that pertains to a sitting president’s finances." I'll take "Things that show how most attorneys are very large pieces of human shit" for $400, Alex.
  5. Quite a bit of overlap? Almost 100% overlap. And the evangelitards are, as always today, in the middle of it.
  6. Mueller is not so much analytical as he is a loyal, company man. He performed his job admirably, adhering with great discipline to the mandate he was given. He is not, however, a leader. He clearly did not view his role as anything more than laying out facts (as he saw them): little to no (legal) conclusions, no recommendations, no opinions. Was this the right thing to do? Maybe history will laud him for this approach. The people need to act. We have all the information we need to fix this. Sady, the evangelica/deplorables refuse to act. Fuck them.
  7. Good luck to all involved. Adults have the right to make their own decisions, no matter how bad they may be.
  8. Good lord, yes it matters. Even if not a single person changed their mind it still matters.
  9. What? Of course he did or did not interview the guy. But that doesn't mean Mueller should necessarily answer whether he did. Don't you see that?
  10. Um, I got a pretty clear feeling that it applied to Trump.
  11. What did you expect? This is how the game is played, and Mueller is doing a credible job, imo. Trump is slime. Everyone who can see and think for themselves knows this. Mueller's testimony won't change any minds or provide any smoking guns. Again, imo.
  12. But was it "excessive" speeding? Don't know what qualifies as excessive, but it's probably more than just 6 over in a 55 zone.
  13. Well yeah, but the grandfather is still full of shit.
  14. Willie is both about as Texan as you can get and about as anti-Texan as you can get.
  15. Come on, of course they aren't evil. It's thinking like this (assuming you think they are evil) that causes irreparable rifts. They are misguided, as is the GOP. They don't think for themselves, they are scared of what they (white/elderly/lacking a college degree) might lose in the future. They desperately need a scapegoat. They engage in extreme confirmation bias. In short, they are average humans.
  16. Nothing against Texas Fight, but the Eyes of Texas is the real deal. Still sends shivers down my spine. And it always will, til Gabriel blows his horn.
  17. Ok, last time I darken this doorstep (for a bit, anyway). When my wife was getting her master's, she had a prof (big time) who was married to a guy (another big time prof, one of the first historians who use statistics and was elected to the NAS) and we were at a gathering at their place, they had a piano (kind of Woody Allen-ish) ,and I noticed that the sheet music was Scarlatti. This has become possibly my favorite classical music after Bach.
  18. I was a sophomore (iirc, at most junior) in college and my girlfriend's (at the time) roommate was going to head off to UW (Wisconsin) for law school and for some reason this song reminds me of her. The one who went to law school, not my girlfriend. It also reminds me of Council Bluffs, but that's another (tangential) story.
  19. You're not that guy. I am that guy. Team Angus. Make some t-shirts. I'll buy one.
  20. Anybody see the show "Almost Human"? Quite good, imo, but alas, didn't last long, There was an episode, brilliant (again, imo) that had this song incorporated into the scene. Whoever was responsible for this is very gifted. Along with "Freaks and Geeks", "Firefly", "Almost Human" really deserved a second (and more) season. Thus endeth the lesson.
  21. You think? Not to flame, but I don't at all. Do girls have to register now? They should. It's interesting, imo, we have way too many out-of-shape kids who can't serve, but then warfare has turned a lot to drones and robots. So do we really need young, able-bodied cannon fodder?
  22. Talking about signing up and all, we really (as a country) need to lose some weight. How many young people are too fat to qualify for the armed forces? Weigh [sic] too many.
  23. I expect this bullshit from Boulder, not from Fort Collins. (disclosure: I love Boulder, UC, and Moe's Bagels, and the weed dispenseries there). Grow a pair (of balls), get a spine, get thick skin, use whatever idiom you want, but jesus people, if you're so fucking scared of mere words then you're gonna have a bad time. Don't pizza when you should french fry. (aside: I love Colorado State. Went there recently visiting an aunt/uncle and the student union gave out free New York Times. Free. New. York. Times. It's like I died and went to heaven. I still can't believe it. Thanks, Auntie Joyce
  24. AOC can be, and I hope she is, but I hope that she is a "legitimate", broad-based player, not some fringer that mostly appeals to the dipshit crowd. She has potential, and I hope that she realizes it. She has some growing up to do, imo. But we live in strange times.
