It’s just greed. I feel like people need to stop looking at Republicans as if they have any other motivating factor beyond naked, pecuniary self-interest. When Denton, TX banned fracking, the state legislature stepped in and put a halt to the ban. No more lectures about “big government” and “local self-determination.”…

You can add state-level income taxes to the mix with the new tax bill.

He was on NPR this morning. Very interesting interview. He literally had no idea what the commission was doing.

That fucking map, man. Jesus. You read about the DMV closings, but there’s something about seeing it all laid out in detail. The intentionality just shines through in all its pure vileness.

Yup. Big programs pay out BIG dollars to smaller programs in order to pad their schedule. There is a lot of money to be made in being the Generals.

“Davis’s scheduling theory is this: He believes games against big schools, on the road, give his team athletic department a better shot to win the league and make a splash in the NCAA tournament collect enormous fees from those large schools for the privilege of padding their schedule.”

We built a statue for Ray Lewis and brushed Ray Rice’s sins under the rug, but Colin Kaepernick? Gosh, you know, we have to be worried about our “image” here. I literally can’t watch them anymore.

“She genuinely likes people, and people like her,”

Econ teachers should build lectures around Chris Davis when discussing the sunk cost fallacy. Remember when he hit all those home runs that one year? Yeah, that was a fun year. I remember pies in faces.

As I peer into the future of the alternate universe:

Like any good, God-fearing American, I buy my booze and women in bulk at Costco.

Is anyone else wondering where Biden’s hand is in that picture?

Was it even Dijon mustard? I’d like to check the tape because I feel like he actually asked for “spicy mustard” or something like that. I’d check, but that would require that I listen to Sean Hannity for a few seconds.

I’ll wait for the President of the United States of America to phone his boss and say that he should be fired for sitting on the flag. I won’t hold my breath.

Not only that, but his business end is right on that little stripe that they replace for the Blue Lives Matter folks. How dare he disrespect our first responders that way?

I had a similar conversation this weekend with a friend. Mass shootings are like plane crashes: they are tragic and terrible, but people fixate on them in irrational ways, like developing irrational fears of flying. Rationally speaking, if you were afraid of vehicular death, you would never get in another car ever…

Arrested Development ended after 4 seasons. Now THAT was a tragedy.

You see, the weird thing about being a Nazi is that you don’t have to be a fucking Nazi.

I worked in environmental regulation for almost 10 years. I once was at a bar with a person who said he was a real estate developer. He asked who I worked for. I told him. He then blew his cigar in my face and said “I hate you guys. You cost me money.”

“Sorry guys, we already filled those pedestals with with three statues of Ann Richards.”
