He needed the gun because he is small?

I thought he was part of a superior race.

Sheesh.

I can't speak to your dates, but as a UT graduate

I can speak to the many, many academic requirements for graduation back in those days.

You had to take two years (four semesters) of foreign language, two or three years of English, both composition and literature, a couple of years of science (I took both geology and chemistry) a year of math, both Texas government and Texas history were required, physical education for four semesters, some electives and then hours and hours of courses in your major. I'm pretty sure American history was also required.

That's just off the top of my head, and there's no way you could do all that in two-and-a-half years.

UT wasn't a silly school, either. The courses were comprehensive and thorough, and nobody skated through.

I have no knowledge of Jeb Bush's college career, but if a family can cover up an AWOL military career for one brother, they might just be able to make adjustments to the college career of another.

It squeaked by just east of us

in Austin.

It looked pretty strong in the areas where it did track.

We got rain; just not torrential, unrelenting rain.

Chris Hayes tonight.

I am insulted that MSNBC, Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris Perry think that we, their viewers, are interested in thirty minutes of this mixed-up person from Spokane.

Didn't the Dem who ran against Walker last time

have a connection to a bicycle company?

Maybe Trek was her family business?

That would be petty even for Walker to do that.
