I wish

Kevin Hassett would wipe that stupid smile off his face when he's talking about all this horrible economic news. He seems so gleeful. I want to slap him.

Something's been driving me crazy for years

I used to listen to KTRU (Rice University radio in Houston, Texas) back when I was in my mid twenties from 1982 to about 1986. It had a lot of cool alternative music some of which later became mainstream (REM, U2, Talking Heads).

During that time there are several songs that I remember part of the lyrics, sort of. One in particular had a line that mentioned "old colonials " saying something like "they should leave before they get what they deserve ". Anyone remember that song and who sang it. It's been bothering me for years. I remember hearing it around 1985 but it could have been released earlier. I think it might have been British.

Cute video about self isolation

Yesterday I was a poll worker in Houston.

I had to be there at 6am. The polls opened at 7am and closed at 7pm but there were about 300 people standing in line at 7pm when the polls closed.

We had 3 precincts combined into one. We had 12 voting machines and one of them didn't work. Also one person didn't show up and there were only 2 of us checking in voters at a time with one person to relieve us. But everyone who stayed and was eligible voted and today I am exhausted

Vladimir Putin is the worst American president since Dick Cheney.

Hi Tammera,

On our March 3 Primary Election, Texas will be one of the first states to see Mike Bloomberg on the ballot. We wanted to hear from Texans what his impact would be on the race, so we commissioned Public Policy Polling to help us learn more. Below is a sneak peak of what the polls tell us:

Biden and Sanders lead the field
Warren is the strongest second choice
Bloomberg has the worst approval/disapproval rating
This is the first set of poll data collected since last weekend’s Nevada caucuses. The poll, taken from Monday, February 24th to Tuesday, February 25th, asked 1,045 likely Texas Democratic voters for their opinions. For the full analysis with charts, click below!
