"both" sides of an issue? What if there are 3 or 4 competing theories? Oh, right, this guy has been reading the NYT.

Attention hiring managers nationwide: Do NOT hire anyone who graduated from a high school in Texas.

For anything.

Hey now. We of the graduating classes of the 80s still have all our critical thinking faculties AND STILL NEED TO WORK.

The way Pompeo conducts himself - I'm not sure if I dislike him or Trump more.

A republican would call that a reason to have him as president.

You wonder why they bother teaching anything to anyone, except for their racist beliefs.

That is bizarre, as I just copypasta'd the Charlotte Observer link right from the top of their page. Well, let me go take another look.

Huh. Suuuuper weird. If I click the Disqus link, I get redirected to a Russian-language site. If I copy and paste the link, I get the Charlotte Observer. Well, try this link without the HTML around it: https://www.newsobserver.co...

The want to limit government to the office of the governor and his pals, that's all. Also, from a UT grad, haw haw at the idea of UT as a bastion of "liberalism" or whatever the Rs like to call it when they're heaping slander on Austin and its residents. UT owns oil fields. UT takes money from any old racist, regardless of the strings attached, and says "thank you sir may I have another." Never mistake the apparatus of an institution for the individual members thereof.

"If education is outlawed, only outlaws will be educated." The GOP dream for the future.
