3. What a great line! First time I've heard it

Is it a regionalism?

[mopinko]

4. it's a hightowerism. it's the name of a book by jim hightower. texan.

5. I hear Jim Hightower's brief commentaries...

...on the Chicago progressive radio station frequently, and always enjoy them. I thought it had a Texas flavor to it.

My first 2 years in the Air Force nurse corps, I was stationed in San Antonio. I was told about armadillo chili - find a roadkill armadillo, take it home, use the meat to make chili. I hoped the person who told me about it was kidding, but I wasn't sure.

I grew up in western upstate NY. Texas was a shock to my system in many ways.

6. well, yeah, armadillos.

my 1st husband moved to tx to escape child support. not entirely, but kept me from getting increases. went from min wage to 6 figures, and i got squat. never been to tx, have no intention.
at least not outside austin.

9. I don't ever want to live there again.

My second 2 years in the Air Force, I was stationed in Japan, and I felt more at home there than I did in Texas.

12. when my son went to grad school

he had a choice of austin, or u utah, slc.

his dad and i were hoping for austin, so we could visit. just to add 1 more state to the list, mostly. maybe see willie live.
therefore he chose utah. wasnt that mad.

7. Yes, if you are in the middle of the road it is only because there is no traffic there. It is an

entirely imaginary place, a political middle. Along every line, economic, political, & social there is a clear mark for when it becomes liberal (egalitarian) or conservative (strictly hierarchical).

2. Kinzinger is right.

Christie is trying to have it both ways. You are for Trump or you're against him. That's what Trump says, and Christie is pretending that he has a good relationship with Trump except for a minor disagreement about the election. It's bullshit.

8. I knew Dwight Eisenhower; Dwight Eisenhower was a friend of mine. You're no Dwight Eisnenhower.

[Skittles]

10. you gotta hand it to repukes

they start a senseless war based on lies that costs untold number of deaths and trillions of dollars.....they mismanage Covid and cause hundreds of thousands of deaths, they think putting bounties on people aiding women trying to get a legal procedure is a SWELL idea, but they're worried about Biden's "dangerous policies"??????

THEY ALL NEED TO ROYALLY FUCK THEMSELVES.

11. Amen amen, Skittles!
