he’s skipping the country after the trump L on tuesday 

Seriously, I could see him moving some SpaceX stuff across the border to Mexico, because if they don't stop fucking around, they'll invite more federal eyeballs to look at their operations (they already have enough agencies looking at them).

The only problem is if he moves it out of the country, a bunch of handouts contracts will dry up.

I must have missed the joke. Is Kamala a Chili’s fan or something?

We have a bunch of heathen Chili's fans here.

Well, they are fans until the Steak & Ale revival hits Fort Worth next spring/summer, and then the heathens will be weeded out from the cultured men and women of Surly.

Yes. Coy and Vance(hehe) were not as clever as Bo and Luke. 

I was ready to get divorced and marry the woman on twitter who compared Selzer's Iowa polling to the Battlestar Galactica surviving the Cylon onslaught because it wasn't integrated with an AI, but you sir, have me intrigued with your comprehensive knowledge of the Duke family tree.

He throws a casual, annual 100-plus person party, so he should be able to handle a few dozen depressed internet degenerates. And I'm willing to bet the bar will be fully stocked.

Oh…it’s stocked.

Ok….so if she wins, we’re going to chilis on Wednesday for real. Correct? Dead fucking serious. 45th and Lamar seems right, although Burnet and 183 is just slightly closer for me.

And if she loses…sure, y’all come to my place. I’ve got LOTS of scotch, patio cooler and beer fridge well stocked, about a full pot of leftover red beans and rice, and some cornbread and French bread. Warning, though - about 3:45 last night, the coyotes were making a hellacious racket, woke us up. They know something is up….just not sure what.

Had a friend make an insightful comment this weekend.  I don’t know if Harris is going to win convincingly, but if she does it will align with his comment:
”The United States and its people are always slower to move than they should be, but they end up doing the right thing.  They ended slavery far later than they should have.  But they did it, eventually.  They entered both world wars later than they should have, but they did it, eventually.  Trumpism should have been snuffed out in its infancy.  It wasn’t, but it will be, eventually.”

I really pray this is the case. I can’t tell you how much I want it to be true.

We still don’t know shit about fuck.
I wish I could believe that America is good, and will defeat that hideous creature. But I can’t get there. I hope my doubts are all wrong.

If we're all going to fucking Chili's if Harris wins, where in the world are we going if she loses?

Chuy's. We'll deserve the worst if she loses. But she ain't losing.

In a world where a deep fried Allsup's burrito is a must have this is not out of the ordinary.

I thought she meant my 11 year old daughter. 
Does Kamala like Chili's? Someone find out. 

When she was at Howard, she frequented a dive popular with students, Ben’s Chili Bowl. And she grew chile peppers at the VP’s residence. That’s enough of a connection.
Chili’s is the official “if Kamala wins, we celebrate here” HQ.

During her days as a prosecutor tackling major cartels in California, Kamala Harris often found herself working late into the night, poring over case files and strategizing her next move. It was during these marathon sessions that she developed an unwavering affection for Chili’s baby back ribs—a comfort food that fueled her determination and reminded her of simpler joys amid the intensity of her job. The smoky, savory taste became her signature indulgence, a symbol of resilience and reward after relentless battles for justice. As she rose through the ranks and contemplated her broader purpose, Harris realized that those moments of fierce dedication, coupled with a hint of barbecue-sauce-stained resolve, were what prepared her to aspire for even greater leadership. Inspired by those late nights spent fighting for justice and savoring her favorite ribs, she decided to run for president, determined to bring that same tenacity and humanity to the nation’s highest office.

So, Kamala goes on SNL for non-political air time.

The solution for equal airtime is to give Trump time after Sunday night football where he is allowed to lie unchecked? "We are heading for a depression under Harris/Biden?"

If you have a minute would you ask your gAI what's the very best franchise to invest in?

I just received this from ChatGPT using the prompt “Create the origin story for Kamala Harris becoming president thanks to her love for Chili’s”

Kamala Harris’s journey to the presidency began on an ordinary evening at a local Chili’s in her hometown of Oakland, California. As she sat with friends, sharing a platter of sizzling fajitas, a spirited conversation erupted around the table about the challenges facing their community. The discussion flowed from education inequities to healthcare access, and the laughter and camaraderie transformed into a passionate debate about the need for change.

Inspired by the diverse voices around her, Kamala realized that these conversations, often held in casual settings, reflected the heart of democracy. The warmth of the restaurant, filled with families and friends, struck her as a microcosm of America—a place where everyone deserved a seat at the table.

That night, she made a vow: to channel her frustrations into action. With a renewed sense of purpose, she envisioned a future where every voice mattered and where she could be a catalyst for change. The experience solidified her commitment to public service, ultimately leading her to pursue a career in law, advocacy, and politics.

Years later, as she stood on the national stage, she often recalled that pivotal moment at Chili’s, where the spark of inspiration ignited a lifelong mission to uplift her community and advocate for justice. It reminded her that every great journey begins with a conversation—and sometimes, a plate of sizzling fajitas.

Chili John's of California. Bet it's a Chili's knock-off and you can still damage your stomach there.

Chili John's sucks, and is closed 6 months of the year...used to live 4 blocks away when I was newly wed.

It's that hilarious thing some do when a stupid subject comes up. You see, it's hysterically funny to keep talking it about for pages then referring to it in other contexts. I'm busting a gut here.

So - I’m ashamed to report that I was not able to complete the 15 pre-purchased cocktails per day on this, my first day.  But I have had - ah - several.  And I had about a 12 ounce pour Pinot Noir I took back to my room from dinner.   

So I’m rereading Paul Revere’s Ride by David Fischer, when I saw this quote:

‘Milo Kundera has recently reminded us that “the struggle against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” ‘

All of these women have a firm memory of their rights pre-Dobbs, and they have definitely decided not to forget.

We're old. Once someone laughs at a joke we'll repeat over and over until someone laughs at another joke. Rinse repeat.
