  1. I want that deal. I'd buy every bag of Hi-Chews I could find if I were getting 75% off.
  2. We the People want Trump to fuck us. I hate it when that happens in democracies.
  3. EO 17849 says you can't bitch about "discrete subgroups" anymore. We're all in this together.
  4. Mexican tears flavored with tajin?
  5. I'm not sure what you are talking about. They clearly have made "diversity" and "equity" code words for discrimination, so you want those words out of your policies. The burdens on a discrimination claim remain the same. The EEOC is just going to be focusing on cases brought by white bitchy males in the next few years.
  6. I'm frankly surprised that PBS and NPR are still around.
  7. I'm expecting you all are sending an email to your Senators, Felito and Big John, and asking them if they have balls?
  8. I'd like to think if I was caught with my pants down, and my hair getting mussed, I'd go full Gen. Buck Turgidson - chew gum hard, scowl.
  9. I liked it more as a private joke, just between everyone.
  10. Stanford is back in Luck! Tremble before the Tree!
  11. This captures the only reason I still have some hope for America.
  12. Yeah, but at least I'm not naive about sarcasm.
  13. I'm the Chauncey Gardiner of surly. By the way, if you're in Boerne, that meskin ice cream place, Michoacan Pido de somthing, is pretty good. Random strip shopping center just off the highway. I got some chocolate Abuelita or some such. Basically chocolate ice cream with cinnamon, that was pretty tasty. Had dinner that night at the Rail place in Kerrville. Which was not particularly tasty but they tried.
  14. Walked by one in Boerne a couple of weeks ago. Weird, because Boerne seems so un-MAGA...
  15. I don't know how to update the top post, so I'll just update as we go. I'm cheap, and I've gotten some fine recommendations from surly. So why not. Here are the rules. Not putting a cap on the price of the wine but in reality, yeah, let's put a cap on it - say $25? But I'm really looking for the crazy bargains. You recommend a budget wine that just has really blown you away - specify whether you are comparing it to all wines or just a fantastic value that can be appreciated. If it gets another mention (not just an upvote but an actual mention, it will go on the list. If you have a bad experience, say so, and it comes off the list. The idea is to build a list of top 10 - five reds, three whites, two sparklings. I just want a cheat sheet when I go to specs.
  16. Give Tom Izzo, I don't know, ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
  17. He saved the farmers! It's so fucking crazy brilliant.
  18. I disagree. It's not subjective. If you believe it.
  19. Fiscally conservative means balancing the budget. A government that spends 100 trillion and taxes 101 trillion is more fiscally conservative than a government that spends 10 trillion and taxes 9 trillion. Hence, I can be the most generous provider of benefits for the people in the world and still be fiscally conservative. Depends on how you define socially liberal. I've always thought of that as liberal in the sense of providing freedoms to people. I don't really think of it as one who necessarily thinks government should only be about "charity". I think government should be involved in charity (assisting people) when it benefits the common good. Hence, hefty government spending for education, social security, health. I'm fiscally conservative and favor a real, actual progressive tax system.
