Re: From "To **** A Mockingbird" To "Go Set A Watchman"--Harper Lee's New Novel Arriving Oh yeah for sure. A much better page-turner than Great Expectations. :1orglaugh

Re: From "To **** A Mockingbird" To "Go Set A Watchman"--Harper Lee's New Novel Arriving It's got to be a "must read" for anyone who read her first book.

Mariah's take (or anyone else's here for that matter....mine included) on any given issue does not represent the consensus viewpoint that many of us that would be considered "left" by the "right" by any means so please don't hold her opinions as being the gold standard for liberal ideals. They...

Very insightful post. Slavery was not the central issue when the war began (in fact, never was until Lincoln made it so with the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation) but it had unquestionably been a huge part of the backdrop that led to the war in the first place. One can go all the way...

We always beat LA, you know that! ;) I'm sure Carlos would rather have the bonus money than the rest. He won't pitch more than an inning anyway.

I feel your pain, Fly. Out pets are ****** members. We appropriately grieve over their loss when it happens. Shame because they don't get to live as long a we do so the pain is especially acute in that regard. I'm am sorry for your personal loss....it's tough.

Re: Trump Says "I'll win the Latino Vote!" :goodpost: Post of the year! :thumbsup:

Suits me just fine! Martinez was dominant!

This is truly sad news. The Snake was one of a kind....a serious throwback and rebel, maybe the greatest clutch QB that ever played (if not, sure seemed that way). I never was a Raider fan but I was always a Ken Stabler fan. Another icon of my younger days is gone. Cancer sucks. R.I.P. Snake.

The Cardinals have been sliding recently (although a MAJOR dramatic win last night averted what could have been close to a disaster) and the Pirates are on fire. We're playing them in Pittsburgh so....advantage Pirates. Pitching matchups would seem to favor PGH.....I'll give Martinez the edge...

I was away from the forum over the holiday but, as a fellow Texan, I'd agree with this! However, I'd like to add that sweet Pecos cantaloupe in the month of July is without question the best in the world and can only be found in Texas, USA. Whattaya say, XF? Y'all get those up thar in them...

Thanks for the rep!

Good observations! However, the two movements are certainly interrelated but not quite in the manner your are supposing. Black voters began a migration to the democratic party (from what had previously been a fairly even split between the two major parties) during the latter part of the FDR...

Back to the original post, this clearly illustrates the type of phony slimeball Ken Paxton is. They are about to indict this prick on securities fraud....could get 5 years to life. Couldn't happen to a more deserving individual (except perhaps Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick)...

Re: Donald Trump - Hypocrite Supreme OK my bad then. Done it before so I made an assumption I shouldn't have. Thanks, RT. My apologies, Mariah. :hatsoff:

Informing me that he was from Vidor tells me all I need to know about him. :facepalm:

It's a sure sign that a candidate is gaining some serious traction when people try to find dirt on him. If he wasn't, they would bother. I'm not going to trouble myself to defend what Bernie said about orgasms and cervical cancer over 40 years ago. It's irrelevant in my book. I like what he...

Re: Donald Trump - Hypocrite Supreme Can't say I take major exception with the views expressed in the missive you used but I wish you would start providing source references for things you don't write yourself, Mariah. You'll gain so much more credibility and esteem (even from your enemies)...

Forgetting politics, San Francisco might be the most awesome city in the USA from my experience so a pox on anyone who hopes it falls into the sea. If you can't enjoy yourself in SF, you are probably dead. That said, "sanctuary cities"....places where ******* aliens can operate unimpeded and...

Sad but true.

Hence the old term "the solid south" meaning universally democratic back in the day. The democratic party during the Civil War ran General McClellan on a platform to end the war. A long historical viewpoint is needed when examining such things as most liberals today would have surely been...

I haven't eaten any ice cream since Blue Bell ran into its current issues. :******:

It drives my wife crazy when I call the local grocery store "Kroger's" instead of "Kroger" (its actual name). So....guess what I call it on a regular basis when she is within earshot? :stir: :D

Oshie is beloved by the fans but he has been somewhat of a troublemaker in the locker room....especially last year. Word has it that he and Hitch disagreed on some things....Oshie wanted a more free-wheeling style and that's just not what Hitch is all about. T.J. will have a chance to put some...

Yeah, I thought about that before posting but figured what the hell? Actually, we sent 5-4 on the homestand so losing 4 straight isn't exactly the end of the world. I am, however, starting to become concerned with all the injuries piling up. Waino, Holliday, Walden, Belisle, Jay, Adams and...

You are obviously not paying any heed or giving any consideration to those of us who have already addressed your protestations. If all you want to do is rant (and it appears to me that you do), have at it. Just don't expect anyone to take you seriously unless or until your are willing to have...

TLTR. Can we get the Reader's Digest version in your own words? :dunno:

They don't call 'em "sliders" for nothing. Same thing with Taco Bell. If you're constipated, go to either of those establishments and I guarantee that within 12 hours you'll be shitting your brains out. Krystal is basically the same for those who live in the south.

My next-door neighbor never went to college and he owns a successful landscaping business. Does quite well financially. Another neighbor across the street works 2weeks on/2 weeks off on an offshore oil rig and makes about $200,000 annually. Definitely not a "loser".

The exclusivity I mentioned was in regard to the rights of same-sex couples versus heterosexual couples regarding the right of 2 individuals to marry. Polygamy has never been legal for anyone so there's no exclusivity. Other than the obvious genetic problem that is inherently created with an...

Regardless of what is up with this FBI thing, the guys on the field seem undeterred. This team is a machine.....they always seem to find a way to win. The pitching has been off the charts. Our record at home is 29-7 and we are 27 games over .500 before the 4th of July. Have won six games...

This is an embarrassment for someone like me who lives in this state. Even in some of the most conservative neighboring states (like Arkansas), state officials have appropriately relented to the law of the land while expressing their disagreement with same. Yet, here in good ol' Texas, a guy...

Yes, it does.

Polygamy is ******* for all citizens, not just a certain segment. That is the primary distinction from the recent SCOTUS decision regarding same-sex marriage. You can't exclusively allow specific citizens a certain right and then deny that same right to others based upon their sexual...

I'm not a jurist by any means but I believe the decision is based on the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment. The purpose of the clause is to guarantee the same rights to all American citizens, not exclusively to heterosexuals or any other group for that matter. Since gay and lesbian...

It may sound corny but I make a habit of trying to commit random acts of kindness for strangers on a regular basis. To me, there's nothing greater you can do than to perform a selfless act that helps others. Very satisfying to the soul. I care very much about people in general.

Yep! A-Roid with an asterisk perhaps? I never saw less ballyhoo about someone getting their 3,000th hit than him.

OK....so it was Geronimo and not Cedeno? And a Red and not an Astro? I didn't think my guessing skills were quite that good! :1orglaugh All right. Only 3 players in MLB history have spanked 600 HRs and collected 3,000 hits. Name them. BTW, I have several shoeboxes full of Topps cards from...

Thanks for the rep!

Re: Most Important Function of The United States Constitiion; Limit Power or Protect Citizens? This. :goodpost:

That's why I stay away from FB and Twitter. Brings out the worst in people....period.

I didn't attempt to insult you so maybe that's why the quality has dropped off. I simply was making an observation. BTW, I have never, ever reported any of your posts so....:dunno:. Maybe you should try some other outlet to deal with your anger because it sure seems to be getting the best of...

Cesar Cedeno?

Best Seller. Brian Dennehy and James Woods in an action thriller.....not an academy-award candidate but very entertaining nonetheless. Saw in on MGM network.

Hit that one out of the park, John! The "Big Train" had 110 shutouts! Think about that for a minute. How many pitchers in MLB history even have 100 wins? And this dude has 110 shutouts?? Incredible record that I predict will NEVER be broken. The Big Train might be the greatest pitcher that...

So....you are weighing the value of someone's opinion here based on the volume level of their posts? If that's the case....you win hands down. Of course that will all potentially change once Mariah is paroled. Can't wait for that....:facepalm:.

What pitcher holds the MLB career record for shutouts?

Good one, Johnny! Very clever.... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Agreed. I am hopeful that now it is pretty much indelibly etched into the fabric of our society that it will evolve into a single-payer system that takes the "half-assedness" out of what the ACA currently brings. It's a steppingstone in a best-case scenario and a pretty shitty and weak attempt...

Now they need to get the other one. My guess is that won't take long.
