I'm not sure what to make of your post about me. If the wolves are the billionaire class, I suppose it's apt. The lamb should be portrayed voting for the wolves. If I were present, I'd be on a porch watching this play out and claiming the whole thing is the hand of Darwin.

I'm sure FOX would never hire someone who doesn't respect women.

...rather than preserve democracy. Sorta like choosing readily available hamburgers over the lives of your grandchildren. Or lies over truth.

It seems like daily there's a new chart or graph that I have no hope of interpretting. Thanks for the summary at the bottom. [okay, I get it now. Thanks.]

1983, too.

This was the kind of terror we faced in an Arkansas gas station: Don't tell me it wasn't hell!

Yep. The hostility was real. Some stations in Arkansas wouldn't sell gas to people with Texas plates on their cars. I'm glad it's changed to something a little more garden variety.

I don't get the pleasure a fan like you gets out of a season. You're not alone in your attitude. I'm not scolding you for lack of school spirit; I'm just truly mystified about the difference in which we experience a season. I also don't want to go "a win is win. E'erbody be happy." I hated the shit fights with lousy teams we always ended up in with Strong and Herman. How many times can a 21-point lead turn into a white-knuckler? Fuck! We're 9-1 and ranked in the top five. It's a weird year in college football because the season is almost over and it's difficult to tell how good anybody really is. That includes us. I think it's a great thing for the first season with a 12 team playoff. I'm having fun. Maybe I'm a low-expectation motherfucker (thanks, Chris Rock). You seem like someone who could manage to be disappointed in a championship team that is less than perfect. Sounds miserable to me, but there's all sorts of things about the humans that are mysterious. Hook 'Em!

I think the only thing lacking is his long ball. That's important, but doesn't change how well he leads receivers and finds the right receiver. The drops killed some of our possessions. Count me among the happy for coming away with a win. I don't care about covering or any betting shit. I think Arkansas is the most fanatical effort we face all season when we play there. I say that fully aware of the OU game. I'm glad the game is back. I saw a lot of good Texas Arkansas games back with Akers and Holtz. The 1969 game is one of the first games I watched on TV and knew what was going on. The Aggies have been a joke most of my life. Anyways, feeling good about the win after the third quarter scare.

It's like their facilities obsession. In this case, it's not show up, wear maroon, be loud; it's we're the loudest stadium in the history of loud. Everything is a fucking death march to them. The object isn't really to cheer on your team and have funs. For them, it's yell constantly by command. Compare a shot of their crowd with those at any other school. Their obsession with being loud leads to shit like this. Everybody else looks like they're having fun even if they're serious about the game. The Aggies never look that way. Weirdos. It's a masterpiece. It's hilarious that the author got it posted before they could post their own fake praise. A&M is the SEC grind. Prepare to be ground.

The most popular player on any team is the unsigned high school QB who everyone one believes may arrive and take over on day one. So much for Wiggy's Heisman trophy.

The best thing I heard on NPR yesterday was Bernie Sanders making the same point you are. I think it's likely valid for accounting for some of the red shift to give Trump a majority. Sanders' central point was that Trump, no matter how crazy and dishonest, does present a vision where the problem is illegals and how he will handle it. The Dems do not choose to pick a cause for what is wrong: the unfair economy and the tyranny (my word) of the billionaire class. It was a great 30 minutes. I'm not a Bernie Bro, but I'm impressed. However, I don't see how you can quote me and suggest that the bullet list I make somehow represents correct perceptions. The embraced lies of Donald Trump are the whole of his success. They're also the hole we are sliding down with an electorate whose majority doesn't mind it.

Yea. The only analysis I hear is on NPR when I'm driving. It's all old paradigm that's been quoted here. No exploration of powerful new factors: Christian Nationalism Xenophobia/Racial intolerance Character of candidate and what it says about electorate Lies being believed such as The absurdity of children getting sex change operations at school. Haitians eating pets. The poor shape of the economy. The last one is probably the most profound issue. There is no good faith on one side. Analysts are content to discuss the perception of the electorate without getting into it being profoundly incorrect and why. I just smirk and shake my head these days. I'm emotionally detached.

I saw this on the old Saturday Night at the Movies when I was a boy. Loved the movie. This scene was a genius moment. Those movies were usually a big deal. I saw Hud and The Hustler, too. Thanks.

Hey, girls. What do we do with A&M? Woo hoo!

Also created a roaming criminal class. You're free! You're without options to live! Don't let us catch you on the street! And then blame them for the results. The racism used to rationalize enslaving people is tranferable to persecution. Ain't no problem with the white man.

Voting purely on emotion and resentment against your own interests? Punch their American Cards! They're in! Welcome to the Shit Show and thanks for your contribution!

I hadn't heard this story. I looked up her name. Found this from Politico: If she was assaulted or says she was, investigate all you want. If Biden assaulted her, he's a piece of shit and should pay for it. I don't find the story credible, but I won't stand in the way of an investigation. There is a history of GOPs digging up women to make rape charges that are pretty iffy. Of course, Balcones story about what "some believe" about the call to Larry King is extremely convincing.

Negged for spreading lies, Balcones.

Sad. Your whole view of government is a partisan sophistry scorecard. "How can I turn any event into a commentary on the ebil libs." Your determination to make everything about political party says more about you than anyone else. Your entire self-worth is tied to the success of a piece-of-shit human named Donald Trump who wears your jersey. Just win, baby! I guess it's easier than thinking or maintaining any sort of a moral code. Your candidate is you. Your president-elect is you. Like him, you are shameless thus proud of being deplorable so long as you come out on top.

Do we know who the press secretary is to be? There's your job for Hulk Hogan. Also, why no Sarah Huckabee?

Yay! We gave the moral high ground to Turkey on an issue of possible genocide! I don't like the application of the word "genocide," so I'll stick to calling it a slaughter. There's small solace in knowing the Dem administration will be handing the baton off to whatever clown Trump has as Secretary of State. Oh well.

I was told it doesn't really exist. I brought a cultural argument to a biology fight. Just like with the Trump movement, if you can't beat 'em...

Concurrence rather than coincidence. Conspiracy rather than accountability: The two percenters chime in: Good question followed by... ...the birth of an Aggie fact. Who knows what to make of the above? It's not a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy. It's pro wrestling. Ah, sanity makes another appearance. Nice. Uh oh. You see it's about our conference schedule! The SEC, the grind that isn't. Right off the bat, our first SEC game was Miss. State. I mean, can you imagine? It's obvious why that's a horrible thing, so genius here will just move on to... OU is in the SEC but it kind of isn't as "most will agree." It's its own thing. We all get that, right? Moving on. Finally, we get Georgia (at home!) and shit the bed. We lost by two scores to a top five team while shitting the bed. Far worse than any A&M loss. I'm guessing this guy would say that S. Car doesn't count because it was on the road. Most would agree, of course. Then comes the clencher. We didn't play a road SEC game (OU in Dallas is its own thing, recall!) until Oc-to-ber 27. Hello?! I mean, come on! Latest SEC road game e-VER. In case that's too confusing, the genius repeats it lest we fail to soar with him in the intellectual heights delineating the outrage. Most will agree why this is an outrage. It's obvious. C'mon! Big climax: That leaves Arkansas as one of our toughest (presumably road?) games. I mean, who else do we play after Georgia? No one else stands in the way of the Sankey-Sip conspiracy train racing to the SEC championship game. What's that? Big anti-climax: Oh yea, A&M is a road game. Right up there with Georgia according to the genius. Most will agree and nod their heads as to why this fact was soft pedaled at the end. It's, of course, beyond me. This guy gets it: The guys who count rise games actually chose OU for Texas. As a rise game! And we got vs day and Ca do as well. Criminal! Lastly, fearless on every front Aggie finds a new front for fear:

Yes. If Macklemore is looking for comedy entertainment, he voted for the right ticket. Tulsi Gabbard has managed to enter at stage left and right simultaneously as the loveable bimbo put in charge of national intelligence (broad irony!) who just might bumble her way to greatness! My side lost. I can't do anything about it. The majority of the American people have spoken. I'm going from oddly resigned to darkly amused. I'm just going to settle in for the show. [TV Audience Laughter blares.] He's a too big to fail failure who will do anything to hide the fact that he's not even really rich anymore! He's The Donald! In season one, we saw the incorrigible Donald getting handsy in bars as his businesses fail. He calls newspapers using a hilarious faked voice to talk himself up. [Jeff Epstein's plane.] Everybody laughed at the running gag of The Donald flying around in his best friend's plane oblivious to the teenage girl trafficking going on! "Hey Jeff, so nice of you to give rides to girls' volleyball teams! Think I could get one of those foot massages?" [TV audience laughter roars to life] [EXT. White House with gold-painted columns and lintel.] Now he's president and he's bringing all of his goofy friends and sycophants with him to the White House! Here's a look at the new season: [INT. DNI Gabbard presses a button and her long-suffering intelligence veteran assistant comes in with a steno pad.] Get the heads of the CIA, FBI, and NASA in here. Ma'am, the heads of the FBI and NASA don't report to you. And bring in some poki. And find two other guys to come with the CIA guy! Do I have to do everything around here? Aloha, Malcolm! It's Martin, ma'am. [Assistant rolls eyes.] [TV audience laughter roars to life] Gonna be great entertainment. President pardons himself. International gaffes by cabinet members. Newscasts that try to take the president seriously. Loss of leadership of the Free World. The stochastic terrorism against persons who look like they might be the targets of deportation could get grim, but maybe we'll get some "ouch! Those were my juevos!" slapstick.
