  1. When in doubt as to why these folks are doing this remember it is ALWAYS about money. They have zero shame in profiting off of your children’s education or now lack thereof. The charter school spigot turned on another government revenue stream and it will only grow much larger going forward in Texas. Even here in New York they want permission to increase the amount of charter schools in the state. Greed does not know state boundaries.
  2. Hoo boy. Brett Shipp is the last person you want investigating you. This will be the end of Mike Miles and his charter grift by the time Shipp and his team are done. If I had a grave pissing tour like some of you do, well, Miles would be at the top of the list once he becomes worm food.
  3. Christofascists in America have had it so rough. Hard to even burn a cross in a random person’s anymore without offending someone.
  4. For me personally it would be Jesse Plemons. His performances resonate more with me than any other younger actor or actress and the range of characters that he can do is pretty cool.
  5. I support you doing this as well as anyone else that has the ability to do so as well. These cretins are not held to account for their actions and it’s well beyond time for them to find out what happens when you do things like they’ve done.
  6. I go back and forth on this, but this is a better use of his time I believe than other things that he could be doing. Considering we have this clown going on TV and not telling the truth about pretty much any question she is asked makes doing this seem like some nice payback to the people enabling this nutjob.
  7. Clearly the woman is off her rocker, but yes not to his level. Killing a dog like she did is indicative of a very dark side to her personality though. I have a dog that is 16 months old that has some issues of being territorial, but she’s a pup still and it’ll be okay. Killing a dog like she did is just nuts to me though, especially being so young.
  8. That guy and his schtick have not aged well. He also looks like he’s around 70 now instead of in his 50’s.
  9. In the playoffs I would rather just see some really hefty fines handed out to players than suspensions no matter who it is or what team. The exception to me would be if the guy got in a fight that injured an opposing player. Other than that hit them in the wallet and hit them hard because none of these guys, no matter how wealthy, like losing money.
  10. Sometimes you gotta wonder just how much of what the Pilgrims said about coming here for religious freedom was really just that no one liked them because they were just not good people.
  11. I hope not, but I am hopeful that by the time any of this happens that I will have long since left the US. Crazy people are everywhere, but man ours really go over the top with it to hurt others.
  12. I think 500 should be a starting point. He’s worth every penny. I don’t think he’ll go out to Queens. Outside of Judge he’s the most popular guy on the Yanks now and clearly is going to make a good chunk of change on endorsements going forward staying with the team.
  13. Never change that positive demeanor you possess.
  14. Thought about going out to the Yankees game tonight because the weather is beautiful, but I don’t want to watch them play a last place team. I’ll wait until a series with the Red Sox to go out and see Soto for the first time in Pinstripes. He’s got quite a following here with the large Dominican population, especially the proximity of it to the ballpark. The Yanks better throw at least 500 million over a decade at him. He has single-handedly made the offense functional.
  15. I don’t advocate violence, but if someone would just start swinging a shovel at these people when they are telling blatant lies like this we might get them to stop because interviewing them and asking for an honest answer is not working. These are the absolute dumbest humans on the entire planet. If you voted for this banshee you are dumb. If you still support this La Petite Academy graduate after hearing everything she has said and continues to say you might need a shovel to the face as well.
  16. He’s an incredible athlete and I would say he’s a once in a lifetime baseball player. Can’t wait until he can pitch again next season.
  17. Went back to finish the movie tonight. Well worth coming back for as this is such a fun movie. The stunt scenes are amazing and again the chemistry with Blunt and Gosling is superb. Definitely recommend seeing this, especially in a theater. Don’t wait to watch it at home.
  18. This seems like a cool movie. I had to leave a showing early, but I am going back this coming week to finish seeing it. Gosling and Blunt come across really well on chemistry.
  19. She had mentioned that tonight. Someone else I work with told us that as well before her first set started. She was very polite and nice. It’s be cool to have more performers like her come through.
  20. It’s not officially spring until Harden gets the doors blown off him in a series deciding game.
  21. This wasn’t a concert, but tonight at work we had a performer that was thoroughly enjoyable. Her name is Patricia Vonne and her Tejana/Rock style was really cool. She’s originally from San Antone and I talked to her for a bit afterwards. She lives in Austin now so I thought some of y’all might have heard her before. She gave me her CD that is coming out in September. Usually I try to avoid the shows we have because they are louder rock, but she was awesome and everyone had a good time in there tonight.
  22. It’s better this way. Old Yeller needed to be put down and Murray was ready to take them out back. I am sure you are looking forward to the next round. Enjoy what are hopefully some really entertaining games.
  23. I have already said what I think of your conspiracy theories and that I think you are a crazy person for believing in them. Seriously decouple yourself from this stuff and maybe just stop watching the NBA if you think it’s all rigged. Leave the sport to fans who just enjoy watching it instead because you clearly cannot just enjoy the games. A normal fan would be pretty happy with a series victory in such a fashion, but not you. I did not watch any of the game because I had something far more important that I was doing today, but even I was glad for Murray to do what he did. You, however, take the route of being miserable about things like a basketball game that don’t even matter in the overall scheme of things. It’s not a good look and I find it embarrassing that any older adult of your age would believe in such nonsense as there being a ref cabal fixing games solely for the Lakers. They’re doing a pretty shoddy job of fixing these games.
  24. I can count on zero fingers the amount of full games I have watched that guy play, but the little I have seen he looks like the kind of point guard that no next generation star should ever be paired with.
  25. I shed no tears for him. He CHOSE this situation and wanted Beal brought in and he willingly teamed with another player in Booker that no one should want to be teammates with. He should own this situation and take his fair share of the blame instead of saying stuff like that behind the scenes.
