The Wizard of Oz is a political allegory steeped more in the populism of the turn of the 20th century.

Do it. Get over to the Andes at some point. Mendoza maybe? That’s wine country. The people are just pretty to look at. And everything is so cheap once you get down there.

Definitely have an excursion planned for Belize. It’s a beautiful place. And everyone speaks English there.

Why does Dad have to do this every day? Why should Mom? Aren’t they supposed to be a team sharing duties?

How many of these homes have stay at home Moms?

What’s the statistics on mothers who won’t let their husbands near the kids during this task?
The NFL totally abandoned their stadium capacity rules for hosting. Has to be at least 70000 seats. Nashville’s stadium seats only 60000. It’s expandable to 68000 but I don’t if that includes floor seating.

If I’m another franchise owner that built a larger stadium for the purposes of hosting the SB, I’d be pissed.

They just told Miami (capacity 64000) that Hard Rock is no longer suitable for hosting.

Float the Comal, not the Guadalupe. It’s spring fed, so is always full and cool.
If you’re used to Carnival, MSC will be quite an adjustment. I recommend MSC to folks who want to save money and have not cruised before.

You’re going to miss Carnival’s quick service food. There’s even more options on the Excel class ships.

We liked the Jubilee; it’s BIG compared to other classes of Carnival ships. It’s definitely a different experience and one of the better ships out of Galveston.
Some of us in the alphabet community call it “Transing the gay away.” It’s the new conversion therapy.

And they’re starting with kids.

In fact, it’s exactly what happens to gay people in Iran.
Divorce rate in Protestant churches: 51%
In Catholic Churches: 19%

So… 1 in 3 Christian marriages end in divorce.

So many on this board come to preach and quote Scripture, but their own churches can’t keep their followers in line on simple teachings regarding marriage.

Maybe work on what’s going on in your own churches before telling people whether their politics align with Christian beliefs?
Nolan didn’t bend the knee to Hollywood. He bent the knee to his wife. This has her fingerprints all over it. He gave her too much control on this one.

Peppermill across the street. Siegel’s Baglemania down the street.

Alle on the top floor for a night cap.

Every review I’ve seen of Carversteak sings its praises.

Do-Rite Donuts Great for kids and adults.

Better than Stan’s.
Dude has some low hanging balls.
Businesses are sitting around saying, “Well, Louisiana has the workforce and tax breaks we need to invest there, but, dammit, they teach that darned creationism in their schools.”

So if the courts can deny the will of the people, what’s stopping the people from ignoring the courts?


They don’t understand the basis of the decision it was about the language on the ballot and the fact that Democrats ignored how these types of elections are supposed to proceed via the VA Constitution.

And they don’t care.

Oh. So I guess the Enquirer was releasing government photographs all along…
She’s also cheering because the death of Spirit makes it harder for people to afford air travel.
Even if early voting had started, wouldn’t all of those people get to vote again on the new election date especially if their district has changed?

More stupid lawfare.

So can Jews and Christians move in there ? Can churches and synagogues be built?


This is the crux of the issue, IMO. They want to build a mosque and an Islamic school. Their intention here is to create a Muslim enclave from scratch.

I don’t understand why a judge can’t just tell them to remove the mosque and private school and later demonstrate that they are selling homes to people of all religions and races.
How does a Travis County judge have jurisdiction over a project in Collin County?

District courts are the primary court for all disputes, criminal or civil. They clearly judge shopped here.

We normally cruise with RC outta Galveston. The Carnival ports arent as nice as RC and the vendors arent as pushy.


They literally stop at the same places in the Western Caribbean. In fact, Carnival’s port in Cozumel and Mahogany Bay are much much better.
