Re: The TV thread

Caught up on a few episodes last night. Latest episodes are way, way better. Much more band of brothers-y. Glad I'm watched for my patriotic duty, as you really see the sacrifices we (used to?) make as a nation to preserve democracy and fight evil. Some tough men and women who shaped history. I'm s...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

Because the simple fact is that TX just isn't that good at doing all the shit it brags about and insists upon doing its own way. I'm telling you, you can't make this shit up. Gov. Abbott probably doesn't care because his actions are all performative, no substance (dare I say all hat, no cattle?), b...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

The Supreme Court decision allowing TX to at least temporarily enforce its own state criminal law allowing its police to arrest undocumented immigrants is predictable and predictably ridiculous. But here's the thing: If I were a betting man, I'd say we're in for a serious bout of be careful what you...

I know it's fashionable, nay, even de rigueur, to be cynical or even apathetic, but I can't let this one go. There is nothing good to say about a politician dehumanizing the other with terms like "monsters" and "animals" for perceived political advantage and it's even worse for him to actually gain ...

True enough but with a new record and tour coming, seems to me he's back with his tail between his legs. I don't know the answer but i think we should check ticket sales for the tour before we decide Neil's terms of surrender. His statement said that because all the other streaming services "have s...

Agree with bubba that the song is about fathers and sons more than anything else. This song reminds me of my old man a lot. He never went to Chicago. He went to Las Vegas. And he went to Vietnam twice. The line about a country boy seeing steam rising reminds me a lot of him and my own experience ov...
