That law was just ruled unconstitutional jackass. Give ‘em the fucking money.

The Republicans will find them next election.  They won’t be available for interviews.

I’m amazed that so many sites have reported this, yet nobody seems to know about the Salem Trade School who pulled a very similar scam back in the 1920s.

“Anything Jones does is for the benefit of Jones”

If you’re including Chili’s, I would look at B.J.’s Southern Comfort Chicken Sandwich - or does adding ham, bacon and alfredo disqualify it? Regardless, it remains my favorite chicken sandwich. Too bad Arby’s doesn’t serve their Chicken Cordon Bleu any more.

Lots of rackets in publishing. When a College instructor writes a book, it’s common for friends teaching at other schools to assign the book as required reading in their courses, which - if the circle of friends is large enough - can guarantee a minimum pre-order for the publisher each recurring semester, possibly…

Gov. Abbott has also introduced a new bill to ram through, providing $1.77 Billion to put National Guardsmen on the Rio Grande, and to continue building Trump’s wall... as if we don’t have far better ways to spend $1.77 billion.

Yes I was. I have corrected that in the second post.

I’m sorry, I confused Dan Patrick with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (an Abbott ally, though they don’t seem to like each other very much), who has been using his office to delay his trial since 2020:

Patrick has several felony trials lined up against him that he has so far avoided by. being in office. He’s spending millions of Texas tax dollars trying to move them to his home county in order to get a more favorable jury.  Abbott is evil, but Patrick is vile.

If you don’t pay cash, EVERYTHING you pay gets clipped by whoever changes that credit into cash. It’s not just a tipping issue. If you pay using a credit card, the restaurant itself gets less ( unless they charge you extra, which almost no one does). That’s how it works: if you use credit, the payment…

I don’t think so.  It’s not far from Love Field.

I used to commute through a neighborhood in Dallas that used to be prime real estate but is now a bit past its prime. By the entry sidewalk of one hose, a pair of uncomfortably huge lions on pedestals appeared one spring. At about four feet tall, they overwhelmed the house completely and seemed very out of place. By…

I became aware of language issues like this when I was driving a in a strange city with a friend whose range of vision was about the length of a pool table. Without thinking, I said “Help me watch for the exit.” His instant reply was “Sure, but if I can read the sign, we’re both gonna die.” It was the first time I…

That’s a shame. I used to have a big dog. Hosing out the car after a camping trip could have come in handy.

“Nobody will hold him accountable for the deaths.”

Well, Abbot is at least asking for medical assistance now, even though he still won’t admit he is wrong. The man is still a jackass.

My dog would kill for that.

Didn’t Honda have one you could remove the seats and hose out the entire car?

My car does the same, but still sends the tire pressure to Toyota through the touch-panel computer. You can’t read the tire pressure in the car, but you can look it up on your phone. You can’t read it in Toyota’s CarPlay app either - that’s just a link which turns off Car Play. That’s some high-quality stupid, right…
