If this thread can survive bbq and chili talk we can handle this. It barely qualifies as decoration on our proverbial plates.

Sour cream as an ingredient is fine, as a flavor no thanks.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Sour cream and onion Ruffles chips are good, though

i still think whitmire was the "less bad" option comared to sjl, and i'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as he's only been in the job for. however it sure as poo poo ain't looking good so far. (see: all the reasons listed above.)

He has exhausted the benefit of the doubt with his war on good infrastructure and handing the entire city budget over to the firefighters without having any sort of plan for a pay for.

I voted for him, actively supported him, and donated money to his campaign. Huge vote regret.

Man, why does Ogg specifically hate Hidalgo so drat much? From right off the bat.

Racism seems like too lazy an answer and I don't know enough about Ogg outside her actions from within the office to even want to go there.

She wanted to significantly influence commissioners court through the new green child County Judge.

Hidalgo didn't put her staffers in high level positions though and then when she made a big budget request in 2019, it was denied. At the same time, the new Dem Commissioners Court entered into the settlement for their misdemeanor bail system which was declared unconstitutional.

They then used that reform to claim it was the reason for the increase in crime during COVID (ignoring that it was not localized) and that denying the budget requests were tantamount to defending the police.

So - like all things - just politics. She wanted to have more influence than she does on commissioners court and is mad that she doesn't. In addition to Hidalgo, she tried to go after another Commissioner as well but neither were well investigated or thought through cases.

I mean. I've been annoyed with them since the initial referrendum their raises.

Just include a revenue cap exception to pay for your raises and the whole thing would have worked and been fine.

They splashed in puddles.

My kid also splashed in puddles but splashing in puddles doesn't burn off energy like 30-60 on a playground.

That really isn't true compared to anywhere else. Most of Texas has underpasses with a U turn and an exit a mile down the road. I was out in LA and Philadelphia a bit ago and you absolutely get punished in those places

I live in LA now and have definitely lost 30 minutes because I missed an exit. Houston, like any city designed apparently exclusively around the use of cars, has this issue. Cars loving suck.
