    Xitter will always sound like “shitter,” in my head.

    Folks used to say that about Hays. And Williamson, too, especially. Both voted Biden.

    Racist shitpile calling an audience member a racial slur for Asians (twice) ought be the headline.

    Wish I could rep this twice. Excellent political ad.

    Finally saw a cyber truck, last week in Comal County. No, I don’t get out much. This one was easy to see, however, as it had been painted as though it were a political ad. lol.

    Here’s a little terra firma, my fellow Texans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=f1y_5VsJgGQ

    Mrs WH believes shrub enjoys not being scrutinized for his own transgressions, and, so, will remain silent. I agree with you. Fuck George and Jeb.

    Interesting article from the Daily Beast about mounting pressure on shrub Bush to endorse Harris. “During a live interview that aired Friday on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, Liz Cheney said, “I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out, but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would.”” Shrub’s daughter is all in with Harris. Of course she is. https://www.thedailybeast.com/resizer/v2/IGYLHUXDCBG2TPUUTLDLGPYZO4.jpg?auth=dc5491d5d536a929242432da817d5584718ffb67dc54011d4e0f832624504612&width=1440&height=810

    Eldest daughter voted today, driving from SA, where she is doing postgrad research, to San Marcos. Proud of that woman. MIL is set on voting in the church on Election Day. Calls herself a D1 voter. That’s how you used to vote a straight D ticket, apparently, back when voting booths had heavy drapes and a machine that looked like a switchboard.

    The image is abhorrent. How do we know it isn’t AI generated?

    I get it. Depending on where one lives, that sticker will win you a slice or a lap dance.

    The last few cycles I voted R in the preliminaries. Twice, R canvassers knocked on my door. Haranguing them off my property proved satisfying, Haven’t had the pleasure this go around.

    Business kept me out of the info loop, and Phil’s passing is quite a shock. I remember a conversation, back in ‘85, with the grandparent of a deadhead, who was all in on Phil’s classical background. Connecting with that generation about the Dead was affirming in a novel way, and helped me understand the acceptance shown the Dead by NPR types is the years after. Godspeed, Mr Lesh. I am so grateful.

    Wonder if this guy wants to deport those of gramdma’s progeny who served in our military? The odds of both these suppositions being true are greater than even.

    When I was in my teens, my parents sat me down to tell me why they voted Republican. They said Texas had been run by Democrats for so long, the state apparatus was bent and they were voting to correct that injustice. I could respect that, though my personal political beliefs were fairly far afield from theirs. Patrick finally burst my mom’s bubble, and she started voting democrat. Still, I wonder when Texas voters will realize it is time for a change. Is this the election where enough Texans are fed up with political entrenchment?

    Today I voted with my wife and our youngest, which was her first time voting. Sure, I was up most of the night working, but a couple of hours sleep and a Bloody Mary put me right in the zone. Some bootlicker was holding a sign for Hipolito (R), outside the council chambers where early voting took place, and I was happy to tell him I vote for Americans, not traitors. For some inexplicable reason, this pissed my wife off. Edited to report the whole process took maybe ten minutes.

    Figured this might slide under this thread’s wire; certainly deserves the courtesy of the satirical adjective, for a cynical historian. Woody Guthrie riffs on his landlord, Fred Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh1QXhqXDbU

    Truth.be told, I wouldn’t use that word, at all, except in the situation I described, and only with my wife. I had no idea my daughter was in earshot. I’d like to think if my friend heard that tale, she’d laugh. The chance my story would offend her means I won’t share it with her. My big takeaway from the encounter was the memory it brought back, of my father trying to make the case that the n-word was less race specific than it was a condemnation of low account people. There are trashy people of every race, he said, all of whom deserved the slur. And I was horrified to hear that from him. And greatly embarrassed. My thought was I had similarly horrified, and embarrassed, my daughter. There may be some solace in the notion that racial, and civil, justice rachets forward generation by generation, but I feel shame to have embarrassed my daughter.
