It's never a bad time for pie.

49 million to 5 -- Title of an Ann Coulter article of the halftime score of most UNT football games last season?

I don't crave a master, but I would rather fancy a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup right about now.

OK. I honestly didn't recall him ever speaking on it.

Oh, I'm sure it happened at 12:30 p.m. all the time. It's 12:30 a.m. I'd be worried about!

Allow states to decide Knowing that he has a gay daughter, I can't say I'm entirely surprised by this, but was he a supporter of Bush's attempts at a constitutional marriage amendment?

O'Reilly's website says he'll be on Fox News tonight with a reaction.

Man, this guy had seen a lot in his life.

Yep. The toppers have risen from the ashes of the Loser's bracket. If they beat Ole Miss, they go on the play Virginia who just destroyed my Anteaters over the weekend.

There's a Mooyah's up in Little Elm now. I've been curious to try it but for the constant crowds in there. I'm impatient that way.

You are correct good sir.

Hmmm. Taking the kid to the Rangers game today for her birthday. Experiment time? We're A's fans. I'd like to register a complaint that I find all 25,000 fans wearing Rangers insignia offensive please.

Nope. It's Jerry's job to bilk as much money out of that thing as possible. No sweat of my back.

Right. I'm sure the next thing we'll learn is that he wipes his ass with his left hand JUST LIKE A MUSLIM!!!!!!ELEVENTY ONE1121!!!@!!

I figured that would be the response. Let's bring this closer to home, and be honest. After 4 months of being an officer, were you familiar with every statute of the Texas traffic code? Was it impossible for somebody to throw you a curve ball on that? Were there absolutely zero laws that you were responsible for enforcing with which you were unfamiliar? Do most police officers not carry a little cheat sheet book of common traffic violations? There's a LOT of stuff for the guy to be learning about right now and call me crazy, but a minor agency that takes satellite photos probably isn't the highest of priorities even if it does have a snazzy title with the word intelligence in it. Edit -- (This addressed to the royal you, not any individual) You don't like the guy, fine. I would think there's plenty of ammo to go after him on policy without having to grasp at inane straws like this one or what kind of mustard he asks for. You really, really don't help your cause. It makes you look like a younger brother who's pouting that he can't do the same stuff as his big brother.

List of federal agencies Here ya go. Memorize and comprehend. There will be a test.

Take nothing that criticizes Lord Obama with a grain of salt.

I for one welcome our wise new Latina overladies.

That's the free market at work right there.

Of course if you're looking for ribs, I hear that Hooters has nice big racks.

They face Ole Miss tomorrow. Nice win for the belt. Irvine won its first game tonight and faces UVA tomorrow.

I got next week off. Can I crash the party?

If I look at the turning point when California went from being a national model for its public services to its long slow slide into being a national embarrassment, it goes back to 1980 and prop 13. This essentially capped property taxes at 1% of purchase price for as long as the owner held the deed. So you buy property. and your property tax never goes up. This accomplished three things: 1) Helped fuel the fire for wild speculation in the residential market, driving prices up into Ponzi scheme levels over a 25 year period 2) Created a corporate tax loophole. There are so many commercial buildings in California that have worked to maintain the original deed, even though the original owner/tenants have long since left, it'll make your head spin. 3) Reduced what had been the backbone of the California state revenue system to a crippled shadow of its former self. Ever since, the response to this has been for the state and local governments to implement temporary sales tax increases (yeah, temporary) and constantly increase the income tax rate for both individuals and businesses. So what you're seeing with Arnold is the effect of nearly 3 decades of complete mismanagement of the state. He didn't start it, he's just finishing it off. There are of course many other factors including exponential population increase from both legal and illegal sources, iron clad unions with the strength of most national armies (the prison guards union leads the way on this, not the teachers), unfavorable business legislation such as Santa Monica implementing a minimum wage of $10.50/ hour in 2001 when the rest of the country was paying $5.15, and stupid, stupid Gray Davis signing the state's soul away to Enron.

Now had it been a Muslim prayer meeting of wise Latina women, the federal government would have descended from the sky to present them with presidential medals.

My God EE! Twice in one week we agree? Next thing you know, this whole spread offense thing will be a 10 game winning strategy! It does bring to question one thing for me though. Just how much influence does any president really wield? It almost seems like the only thing that matters regarding which side the president is on is which side of congressional legislation gets signed into law.
