A better thing to do is contact your own representative and register your opposition if you’re a Texas resident who is not in Burton’s district. And if you’re not a Texas resident, contact your own state representative and proactively register your opposition to something like this being implemented where you live.

Catharsis is fine, but if you just send an angry e-mail without identifying yourself as a constituent, it probably won’t even get read.

That’s dumb. Of course they CAN do it. I can back my car down the street only using my mirrors, too, but it’s still a hell of a lot easier to actually physically turn my head around and look where I’m going directly.

Just remember that unless you’re a constituent, they don’t give a shit. They’ll forward your e-mail or phone call to your correct representative and move on. Or just delete it if you don’t provide a way for them to tell where it should be sent.

Also, Bidwell didn’t leave immediately. He played four seasons in Green Bay after coming back from cancer before leaving for Tampa.

Why wouldn’t you? Easy PATs are boring as hell. Missed kicks are great. Plus, it encourages teams to go for two more often which is even better!

Actually, he had a little over 3 seconds before he started scrambling. The clock starts at 3, goes to zero, and a couple of beats later he starts running.

I can’t say anything about the PGA, but it’s pretty absurd to claim that NASCAR is doing more than MLB. They run academies in lots of foreign countries and also have a dedicated recruiting programs in inner-city areas. NASCAR deserves credit for helping recruit Suarez, but until they’re subsidizing racing programs in…

That’s not how marginal tax rates work.

Well, early on I “jumped to the conclusion” that you didn’t have a clue what you’re talking about and after looking at your responses in this thread to both me and others I can see it served me pretty well.

I can find where the US blocked military assistance to Pakistan, but I am unable to see where they blocked “foreign aid” as represented on the graphic I pasted.

Because he left Donovan off as a personal slight to Donovan, not because he gave a shit about Green.

Ok, so the Qatar thing was an attempt at humor, but you be the judge

Almost nothing you said is accurate in any way.

Or, as one of my military buddies once said with respect to the M-16 v AK-47 debate - if I’m a soldier with American logistics and support I want the M-16, if I’m a soldier with Russian logistics and support I want the AK.

Or fail to toe the conservative ideological line.

Every single thing you are saying is wrong and I’m embarrassed for you because it seems like you think you’re very knowledgeable.

Kendrys Morales - a guy who has hit 30 homers exactly twice in his career and usually hits fewer than 25 - is now a “certifiable dong masher” who can be relied on to give you 30 homers?

How “the party” saw her? What the fuck are you even talking about? Please demonstrate that the “Democratic Party” saw her as weak willed. She was the most influential person IN the party. She had largest campaign fund raising machine and she used it to get key allies like DWS installed in key positions of power within…

That’s fucking absurd. Clinton may be many things, but weak-willed is not one of them. The Democrats picked Clinton because Clinton has spent years building up a political machine designed to get her into the presidency and has also spent years getting allies into key positions in the DNC - effectively turning it into…
