Tom Herman's team just made for a season of intrigue as long as they can keep winning. Keeping their edge in every game will be the big challenge but the Cougars made a huge statement today....not only to the playoff committee but to the Big 12 as well. Awesome job!!

My God, what an ironic difference from his appearance with Mexican President Peña Nieto just a few hours earlier in Mexico City! Huge mistake....he had a chance to reach out to the minorities that he desperately needs in some sort of diplomatic fashion in order to be elected. Instead, he chose...

What a tremendous talent. Great individual as well. Huge loss. R.I.P. Gene. Saw him live in London's theater district in the late 90s.

Thanks for the rep!

His intentions are grossly misguided by his interpretation that the anthem is representative of the US government. It clearly is not....rather, it is representative of the nation itself....its people. For what he perceives as the oppressive actions of the authorities and government, he...

Re: Google "beiing a soldier is stupid" Is that sentiment coming from the right or the left? US involvement in Vietnam was about as bi-partisan as one can get if you look at the entire cluster-fuck from start to finish. There is a great deal of conjecture that JFK was about to pull the plug...

Way too early to tell regardless of Clinton's current lead in the polls. Lots can happen in 3 months. Two very weak and controversial nominees make the potential for a volatile election outcome a real possibility. Trump has to find a way to broaden his appeal beyond his base. 40% of the...

Re: Google "beiing a soldier is stupid" Is that sentiment coming from the right or the left? Thanks to your Dad (and all who served) for his (their) service, even though the fucked-up war he was fighting wasn't even close to being worth the risk to his or anyone else's life for that matter...

Re: Google "beiing a soldier is stupid" Is that sentiment coming from the right or the left? I didn't say everyone was there against their will. I said there was widespread angst about the draft. Just like any army where there is conscription, there are also plenty of volunteers. I know lot...

Re: Google "beiing a soldier is stupid" Is that sentiment coming from the right or the left? Well, I grew up in the 60s and yes it was indeed a time of anti-militarism....primarily by those who were being sacrificed against their will in the line of battle. The illegal and increasingly...

Re: Google "beiing a soldier is stupid" Is that sentiment coming from the right or the left? From your search: So what's your point? Are you going back to the 60s in today's installment of your never-ending crusade to prove how all liberals are (fill in your own derogatory term of...

Liberalism and conservatism are political philosophies and most certainly differ in many ways. However, "shittiness" is not a descriptor that I would generally apply to either. You lose credibility when you make such statements. And, to answer your question, yes I would and in fact have...

I give a shit, that's who. Call it irrelevant if you wish but it's really the only choice I have aside from none at all.

You've made this quite clear with numerous posts in the past so not sure what prompted this latest outburst. I could counter by advocating that conservatism is all about bigotry and fear but to make such a broad general statement wouldn't be any more appropriate than yours is about liberals...

Never said he was "your guy" so not sure what that emphasis is all about. Also, you conclusions are based on opinion, not fact. I have no objection to whomever you are supporting and for whatever reason so by all means vote your conscience. However, due to the lack of data from Trump, you...

I will not vote for Clinton and absolutely cannot vote for Trump so third party it will indeed be for me. Not sure at this point if it will be Johnson or Stein but I vote in every election and I'll vote this November for sure. I must say that I find it absurd that you refer to sources that...

Not true. From the preamble to the constitution: You need to refer to the entire statement before making such a claim since "provid(ing) for the common defense" and "promo(tion) of the general welfare" are equal responsibilities of the government if we take the statement literally....which we...

A great reason to not vote for Trump. Published on the front page of Sunday's Houston Chronicle:

Fair enough and no apologies necessary. I respect your opinion and share your revulsion....just not in the same manner. Peace rev!

Yeah, I'm sure he would. So would any sitting president running for reelection. I'm just glad that the relief response has been vastly improved since Katrina. Despite my kidding about "coon asses" and other things Louisiana on this forum from time-to-time, I have lots of friends who live...

It wasn't fair for the media to portray Bush as uncaring for doing his infamous flyover but, honestly, what more than doing exactly that could Obama do there right now? The disaster is still in full-swing. Anybody else here ever been in a flood? You can't go anywhere (hence the reason Bush...

It will never be built so the whole question is moot. We do, however, need to control our borders. That's a whole other thread.

I read this the other day and was sickened by it. How anyone can treat another living being, much less a human child, with such inhuman methods defies explanation and indeed sparks a great deal of anger at the perpetrators. These people are trash. I am not, however, encouraged to sit around...

Is this staged or are these "real people"? If the latter, I'm speechless.

Probably already has in one of her benign emails (you know, yoga, the grandkids, Area 51....just everyday chit-chat). Besides, it's pretty much common knowledge that Area 51 is and has been a development and test site for experimental aircraft for the USAF and NASA for many years. Supposedly...

He's wrong. Chemistry is an exact science. The "little mistake" they made was dumping hydrogen peroxide in the pool instead of sodium hypochlorite. H2O2 serves to neutralize free chlorine and that's why the water turned green. I don't know how that mistake could possibly be made but it...

Thanks for the rep, sir!

Thanks for the rep my friend!

I know you live in the north country but no need to use the Norse spelling of my screen name. The Anglicized version is Jagger. ;) Hey, root against the US all you want. Doesn't seem to be having much effect on our medal count so far so I'm not bothered by it, just curious about what...

The competition pools are sanitized, balanced and ozonated and are as safe as any water on the planet. If you refer to the trialthletes, that's a different story but anyone who swims in any untreated (and even some treated with chlorine only) body of water runs the possibility of serious health...

American History X. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120586/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Extremely thought-provoking and as every bit as socially relevant (perhaps even more so) than when it was made 18 years ago.

Thanks for the rep! Sending friend request....you and I think a lot alike.

Not only a hearty "hell yeah!" but a high-pitched "yee haw!" to go along with it. Their buttermilk donuts do rock my world on occasion. Problem is, they do not present a wise nor healthy choice for me at all but once in a while I'll throw it all to the wind cuz they're so damn good!

Wow. Incredible but it's true! Wonder what the story is there. Deutsch for "fucking" is "ficken" my sources tell me so I am not at all sure what caused this little town to acquire its name.

It is true the payment was announced 7 months ago as earlier described in pool_hustler's post. This was not U.S. taxpayer money....it was frozen Iranian money. However, the coincidental timing of the release of the hostages makes it appear to be a ransom payment. It certainly raised my...

I was passing through this very interesting small town yesterday. Bucksnort, Tn....USA. Off I-40 between Nashville and Memphis. Not sure what prompted the city fathers to name it as such but they did. Any weird names of towns you have come across?

I tend to concur, Dino. If either major party were to embrace a philosophy of fiscal conservatism, personal freedoms and that less government is better government, they would theoretically be unstoppable from my view. Problem is, we've been classically conditioned all our lives to consider the...

He didn't score any points with this vet with that ill-advised comment.

Some really good points MP but I think you are displaying a little poetic license by stating some of the things you did. Hitler definitely wanted war....basically for two major reasons: 1) To get revenge on the "November criminals" who betrayed Germany by acceding to the extreme nature of the...

It's a half-measure and, although it has enabled millions of people to acquire some type of health coverage, it puts way too much burden on businesses to provide access and individuals to often pay exorbitant premiums. In those regards, it is inequitable. If government's responsibility is to...

My heart goes out to you, amigo. We had to put our awesome Jack Russell terrier down in March and I'm still grief-stricken over it. Give it some time but, in my experience, it will help for you to eventually go get another cat. Not that it can take your cat's place but just having another...

True. It was the obvious direction for the lebensraum that was so vital to the proliferation of the Aryan race.

This is pretty amazing considering that the election is 100 days away and Texas is, at least for the time being, a hard red state. The Houston Chronicle, one of the most influential and widely-read newspapers in the state, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president today in their Op-Ed section. I...

More than you might think actually concur with me. See....you can't make general assumptions about anyone on any given issue....even an unabashed libbie like me. I'm not someone who is prone to respond in a knee-jerk fashion without thinking beforehand. To me, an easy and obvious solution...

I figured as much. Tell you what....since you live in a blue state that ain't at all likely to go to Trump and I live in a red state that ain't at all likely to go to Hillary, I'll vote for her and you vote for Trump and both our votes will cancel each other out. Deal? ;) This is, in a...

OK, point well taken and I certainly didn't mean to insinuate that it was a solo end-run by Trump. As owner of the New Jersey Generals, however, he was one of the ringleaders of the lawsuit and arguably the most high-profile owner in the league. My point is that a spring league was a...
