Why would anyone want to invade Texas?  I'd be fine if Texas left the union.

I'm going to pass.

Soldier who picked up the flag=bad

Kids walking on the flag=cool.

 

Got it.

As a veteran I have to say my opinion doesn't matter more than any other citizen of the USA.  (Still, I'm not above reminding people I'm a veteran)

Anyway, IMO burning the flag is actually the ultimate sign of respect for the constitution it represents.  How awesome is it we live in a country in which we can burn our own flag and not be prosecuted for it.  In many countries you can't do that.  Again, as a veteran, that is the type of freedom I fought for.

I wouldn't call it racist.  Poor taste?  Probably.

I'm not voting for Hillary.  Nope, no, not going to do it.

A few episodes into Daredevil.  Pretty good so far.  High production value, better acted than say... Arrow, plus Deborah Ann Woll.  *rawr*

Waiting for the SJW connection.

I'm still trying to figure out what SJW stands for.  Single Jew Women?

It is very early in the process but I like what I hear from Elizabeth Warren.

Interstellar might just be my favorite movie from 2014.

 

Senna

 

YES!

Searching for Sugar Man

 

 

I'll second this.

Also recently I re-watched King of Kong, still great.

It might be fun to go hang with the Palins up in AK, maybe do some fishing.

and hunt game from a helicopter.

Isn't this what Donald Sterling tried to do?

He was against it before he was for it!

Jimmy Carter simply because he seems kinda lonely and feel sorry that people would rather have a beer with already dead guys over him.

The Jinx is very good.  Freaking Texas, man.

I've never seen Pastors/Priests drive around in beat up cars.

I'm pretty sure it is an act of treason.

I vaguely remember once Luis Polonia going from home to second base on a ball 4 wild pitch.  Dude was fast.

My movie watching for last month.

The Raid: Redemption - One of the better action movies I've seen in a while. 9/10
The Raid 2 - Bigger than the first one in every way, but that doesn't mean better. Still some great action sequences. 7/10
Mother -  Korean flick.  It leaves a lasting impression. 8/10
Birth of a Nation - It almost works as satire, but then it is not. So I guess the joke is on the filmmaker. I can't even rate this.
Force Majeure - I'm not sure who thought watching a couples marriage fall apart was entertainment, but it is not. 4/10
Predestination - laughably bad. 2/10
Chef - It has food porn, a road trip, some father-son bonding, a great soundtrack, plus it tickled my funny bone. 8.5/10
Whiplash - JK Simmons character is sort of a cross of Antonio Salieri and the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. 8/10

Did Thomas Jefferson use a personal e-mail account?  

He didn't make it up. His middle name is Edward.

Ed Gein.

Since there are already 2.3 million miles of natural gas and petroleum pipelines in the U.S. I can see where the additional 1,200 miles for Keystone XL would pose a huge risk.

You understand that this tar sands oil has proven to be more corrosive than regular oil and prone to leakage, right?

this particular oil deposit comes from sand. that seems to be one of the major objections to this pipeline. it's expensive to remove oil from sand, and i think it's a pretty toxic process, iirc.

Not only is it a toxic process just to remove the oil from the sand, but also transporting the oil through pipes requires a mixture of chemical diluents.  What is in this mixture nobody knows because TransCanada refuses to give any details.  

What we do know is the original pipe leaked 12 times in its first year.  

Obama is terrible for business and, by extension, job creation. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look at what his National Labor Relations Board has been doing the last few years. They are, literally, driving companies out of business with their radical prosecution of non-existent labor laws.

Obama might be good for other things (I guess he speaks better than Bush), but he is terrible for all things economic.

2.95 million jobs were created in 2014 with unemployment currently at 5.7.  

Historically, job creation has been better under Democrats than Republicans.  With the exception being Reagan's second term.
