  1. Okay, bad example. Spain from invading Russia. Just for the sea battles.
  2. I wouldn't try to stop Greece from invading Turkey. Just for the shenanigans.
  3. How is it the Dems fault if they lose? It's the same reason it's the fault of Texas if we lose to Washington in football. The fact that we live in a seemly unmatched period of stupidity just means it's a harder game for the Dems to play, but they still have to play it. Everyone went into this with an open mind that his age could be a problem. When I mentioned it a few months back I was excoriated because incumbency was such an important advantage. Dems might get outflanked on this one. Their fault. That's not to say that the game was even winnable in this environment - it might not be. But if policy truly doesn't matter because of the stupidity of the populace, you're taking a gamble by hoping policy alone wins out.
  4. Sure, but ultimately, who cares? It WILL be the Dems fault if Donald Trump wins the Presidency again, just like it was the Dems fault that he won it the first time.
  5. White Rock Lake was angry that day, my friends.
  6. Age Concern Troll checking in. I missed the debate. (I'm trying to learn to sail. Snipe - what a stupid boat). I'm all in with the Dems on this one, so I'm fine with Joe, smokey Kamala, gay Pete, or the Californian.
  7. Screw all that. I just want Pepe to score tonight.
  8. So the last month or so I've been sucking down the Cleveland Kimchi. I add it to rice or green ramen. It's partly because I was reading about the health benefits but mostly because it tastes fantastic. Some canned fish, a little basmati and a handful of kimchi and you have a meal going. In any case, the wife says when she walks into the kitchen it makes her want to throw up. She says the kimchi is coming from my pores. She's says it's got to go. I don't think eating Korean on the outside is an option. We've been married a while and frankly its a close call but she does a great job of managing the bills, so the kimhci is going. Any banned foods in your house?
  9. Bad Mexicans (2022) Would have liked a subtitle like "But Maybe One or Two are Good People" or "What's an Anarchist to Do When the Revolution's Over" I liked this. I did not know much about the turn of the century activity along the border, but it was very interesting and bloody. Pure narrative. Didn't know anything about the San Diego Plan or La Matanza. A good wide intro to the early thought leaders of the Mexican Revolution.
  10. Yeah, I think anyone who really thinks about policies or progress will do the right thing, but it certainly seems like it will all come down to whether someone's grocery bill is "about what they expect" or "higher than what they expect".
  11. The only close precedent I see is Grover Cleveland. So since there is one, yeah, it's not close.
  12. Or that people don't understand the negative aspects of staying the course. Wouldn't it be great if you and I could actually consider the alternative? That would be really cool.
  13. That's not the way I understood the podcst on this. Sounds like they had lots of Dems and Republicans, and both were spinning the fact that he's obviously slowing down. I'm not going to blame the media 100% that the Dems chose to stick with Biden. We all knew the risks.
  14. If they were both taken away by space aliens I think that benefits the Dems just a bit more.
  15. You've sullied that great song for me just a tad.
  16. So does that mean Biller is the Americanized version of Bueller? Anyone?
  17. So I just read a book Fever in the Heartland, and never realized that the Fighting Irish moniker came from the students battling the Klan in Indiana. Pretty cool.
  18. I'll drop this here, although Lake Highlands isn't really East Dallas. Goldie's, now where RM Bistro was, is very solid. Great bar and small but well done menu. Ambiance is really nice. Energetic front room and they've really turned the old RM Bistro patio into a nice space. Everything a few dollars more than you'd expect to pay in Lake Highlands, but still worth it.
  19. Anatomy of a Fall (2023) I tend to apologize for the French, but this was French in all the wrong ways. Although it did make me interested to know if the French judicial system was as portrayed. That was some fucked up, stream of concioiusness, whatever you want to come into evidence shit.
  20. Oh, and my first actual movie at an actual theater in about 10 years. Still a pain in the ass, but we were the only ones in the theater and it was DX or some such shit with lots of woofers.
