  1. It didn’t used to be mutually exclusive. It shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. But it is increasingly becoming so. See ā€œenshittification.ā€ But to the original point, ā€œwe should run all govt functions like a businessā€ is almost always really stupid, because business and government have quite different missions, even when business is at its best. The purpose of govt services is to serve the public/common good. The purpose of a business is to make money. Even if it’s run at its best, its purpose is to make money, by serving consumers in a good way so they’ll continue to buy your services.
  2. Wait…Lucy Worsley’s show is on PBS. She’s so damned cute. Also, she would have had Texas better prepared for tonight.
  3. So, scoping out what’s showing on the Hallmark Channel. Maybe there’s a movie where the gal from the big city ends up in a small town at the holidays and falls for a local guy. That would be a real twist. Also, she’s a better gameday coach than Sark.
  4. Sark is a fine coach. ā€œFineā€ ain’t ever gonna win a title, and isn’t going to consistently be top tier in the conference. If we want to be satisfied with 9-3 seasons, then we’ve got our guy. If we want better than that…we don’t got our guy.
  5. When you get outrecruited, out coached, and outplayed…you’re gonna lose. We gonna LOSE.
  6. As we continue the clean out of decades of life at my folks’ house, I came across a previously untouched box of record albums. It has some treasures in it, and I will share some of them with you, starting tonight (because this TX-GA game is killing me). We begin with ā€œJimmy Dean, Mr. Country Music.ā€ Still sealed. I’m sure it’s a fine record…but I wonder what Randy Taylor thinks about it? What do you think, @Bozo_Casanova ? And of course, with this next one, you can’t go wrong in Texas, where Bob Wills is still the king.
  7. Yeah, Orange to Beaumont isn’t so bad. We’d drive in to Beaumont for dinner sometimes when I was working in Orange.
  8. Operation Rock Hard Cock Spurting in My Mouth, the invasion of Venezuela, is gonna be lit.
  9. Goddammit gotta catch that shit.
  10. Merican freedoming intensifies.
  11. That trooper is the perfect encapsulation of this country and state. Pure trash. And he’ll be lionized as a hero, and will likely have a statue at Pyle Field, the Capitol, or both within a year.
  12. That is so fucking beautiful it legit brings tears to my eyes.
  13. That is the official feeling of America. You are a patriot.
  14. We live in nothing but a kleptocracy now. If it benefits the regime or its friends, money will flow. Anything else, get fucked. As a taxpayer, right now, you are simply sending money to Donald trump to either take personally, or distribute to his family and friends (who will of course pay him a vig). We are seeing the greatest looting of any country’s treasury in human history. And we’re just at the beginning.
  15. This. Any system has a tendency and risk of having too much power concentrate in one place or another. Which is why balanced approaches - things like free trade and free enterprise…with union protection and safety and environmental protection regulations - are best. We’re tearing that up and going full-on onto the ā€œlet’s try unregulated oligarchy that operates completely outside of the rule of law.ā€ And we’re doing it in the name of…it will help…the people? Jesus we’re so fucking dumb it hurts.
  16. I literally just saw a clip of him saying ā€œI’m the chief law enforcement officer of the country.ā€ You fucking idiots gave a megalomaniac absolute power. Goddamn yall are so fucking stupid.
  17. Man, it’s nice when your family supports you.
  18. Also has three beautiful corsairs. Walked into the hangar and even my wife said ā€œdamn, those are sexy.ā€
  19. I said gotdamn. Preach.
  20. Dude. The tariffs are a big, beautiful tax on other countries. And stopping the tariffs will obviously make things cheaper for American consumers, who also weren't paying for the tariffs.
  21. AT age 13...MANY years ago....when they were 2 for .99, we'd ride our bikes around all day. And I'd have $2 and change in my pocket, so we could stop at JITB and get 4 tacos for fuel. Then get back on our bikes and ride miles in the Houston summer heat. There is no creature as resilient and immortal as a 13 yr old boy.
  22. Because it's not a case. It's a grift. This entire Regime is a grift. We just invited shameless thieves into the Treasury. And we're getting the result you'd expect.
