They've won 3 straight against the bottom of the big 12, but they're doing what they have to do. They're finally getting healthy.

A worthwhile and noble cause. Hopefully it helps.

That's funny stuff. It seems like there's a disproportionate amount of deniers on this board, for some reason.

His wife states he's crazy, but equal-opportunity crazy.  He railed against religion in the past, but mostly Christianity.  He was also against discrimination.  It doesn't sound like this is a religious shooting, as the media would want us to believe.

if he's deranged, a parking spot is as good a reason as a religion.  you know I defend the Muslim faith on here all the time, but I don't agree with the media jumping on their faith to immediately make it a religious discrimination issue when all of the evidence to this point leads to something else.

Is the wow that they were murdered over a parking space?  Or is it because the victims were muslim, which had nothing to do with anything?  Or is it because the media latched on to the muslim thing DESPITE it not being a factor in this?

That's a shame.  Not only for his team which loses it's titles for cheating, but also all of the teams they cheated along the way to get that far.

I was the same way. I rooted for the ags in every game but one. Then they moved to the SEC, and many of the fans became intolerable, and now I can't help but cheer against them.

That just about did it.

for that kind of money they better hope he is. he's definitely improved, but I don't know that I've seen anything at this point saying he's worth THAT much money.

From what I've seen the father makes the choice much more often than the mother, either by pressuring her to do so or abandoning her when she gets pregnant and putting her in a no-win situation

I'd be okay with them doing so if they can get some minor players. But all of these people who stole millions of dollars from the taxpayers and students of their district NEED to spend years in jail.

To be fair, if he was a dem YOU would give a crap what he says...

If I'm put in a situation where I need to shoot someone, I'll take MORE lethal. I don't want to shoot some guy doped up on lsd four or five times in the chest with a "less lethal device" and have him still get to me with whatever weapon he has.

Had to win that one.

it might be that after years of being able to get away with whatever he wanted, he was arrogant enough to think that he could continue to do so with nothing sticking to him. that being said, so far, everything has been bouncing off.

of course, this is assuming this isn't another justifiable act being fluffed up for racial reasons by the media.

what really galls me is that we used to have to go to pep rallies at the beginning of every school year, and Doc Thomas would sit up there and make all of these questionable hires and pat himself on the back for doing so. Naomi Lawrence Lee was one. Lawrence-Lee previously worked for Jefferson County as its purchasing agent, but resigned in exchange for a promise from the District Attorney's office not to prosecute her in connection with misappropriation of county property for private benefit. Dr. Thomas passed over better applicants to hire her, and talked about how great she would be for the district. Bear in mind, this is just a few months after resigning from the county to avoid criminal charges. Now if we fast forward a few years, and Naomi Lawrence-Lee is under indictment for felony theft against BISD. Another was Patricia Lambert. Later we find out that she possessed a criminal record for extorting public funds from teachers in the New Orleans school district, unearthed accusations that she leads a massive campaign of both cheating and retaliation against her accusers. Then the accusations started here. Now of course, she's indicted for felony theft. And of course Calvin Walker. That whole situation was a joke, and to see the arrogance with which Butch and the board would renew his contract every year, after he'd already stolen millions from us, smirking while they did it... and now of course, he's indicted for felony theft, amongst other things. If the 7 or 8 employees that have been arrested so far are all that are indicted, so be it. you're talking about putting people in jail responsible for $10M or more (that they've found so far) in thefts from BISD. You're also changing a culture of corruption back to a culture of consequences. No longer will employees steal and scam without fear of reprisals. No doubt there will be some employees who stole who will slip through the cracks, but hopefully the DA will be able to find more of them. But if not, it's much more important to be in place to prevent future thefts than to punish past ones in which we'll likely receive no compensation.

what new politician doesn't promise more than he can actually deliver? that being said, the 6 or 7 indicted so far is a good start. hopefully their evidence is as strong on these cases as it has been on the last couple.

two cops beat a man running from the cops excessively? sounds like the story was about three thugs, not two.

When gas speculation uses things like strikes, natural disasters, wars in other countries, terrorist attacks, economy, etc. to try and guess the availability of oil in the future, prices are often driven up needlessly. Because oil MAY become tougher to come by due to this strike, we're paying an extra $0.30 a gallon NOW. Of course, if the strike doesn't play out, it will take much longer than 3 days for the price of gas to drop, if it even does.

From what I hear there are a lot of burglaries going on in and around HF right now. I'm keeping doors locked, and pistols cocked and locked just in case.

to go where? I'm not saying nobody wants them, but I AM saying nobody wants them very much.

yup.

you mean those folks that hadn't been forced by their government to get vaccinations?
