I hope Herman Cain can start getting more traction. I don’t know enough about him to actually vote for him yet, but I’ve heard more than enough to make me want to know more. At the very least, he would be able to keep the more, for lack of a better word, “establishment” candidates from drifting too far off the reservation.
In one example, he came out swinging this weekend over the current impasse over FEMA funding. The House passed legislation to fund FEMA and the Corps of Engineers more to account for extra work they’ve had to do recently by reducing expenditures elsewhere. Harry Reid tabled that and got legislation passed that funds FEMA using “future revenue” (deficits). Cain slapped him for that, while the other candidates ummm… did something?

#70 – ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OK,…it’s been awhile BUTT I found THIS.
Seems to me that this is where we started.
During his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard – President Obama had been slicing off the tee on every hole. He asks his Scottish caddy if he has noticed any obvious reasons for his poor tee shots, to which the caddy replies: “Aye, there’s a piece of sh*t on the end of yer driver. The President picks up his driver and cleans… Read more »
This is real close to the Chrysler New Yorker 440 that we had. The Cockpit was really great!
Since Hammy’s Mom may be about, I’ll not mention the 3 acres of back seat. 😉
I looked into doing the parent driving learnin’ thing. After recieving the 1st of 6 books about an inch and a half thick that I could not make any sense of I said no.
We do all our DPS bizness in Hempstead, walk in, walk out.
Dayaam, Dave been done Kilt the dang Blog again!! Crap!!
#59 dave ok – how’d you get outta the drive-along test? Well, you take the yout to the DMV and take the test for the learners permit, then you send $$$ to the state and they send you a “Drivers Ed Package” that you use to teach your kid, it’s about an inch thick with tests and a log sheet… Read more »
I might add that when Daughter was learning to drive I had an old 97 GMC Pick-Um-UP with a factory radio and 4 speakers. I’m pretty sure that I had never listened to FM and certainly didn’t give a crap about Bass/Treble. The FIRST thing Daugher did after adjusting the mirrors and putting on the seat belt was tune the… Read more »

We don’t pay taxes in Austin County. That’s why the roads are so pristine. 🙂
Scrolling up, Dooood, our prayers are with you and your bride, be sure to give her lots of hugs she’ll need them. As someone else said, time helps, you never get over it, just learn to live with it and after a while your wife and maybe you, will remeber the good times. God Bless
#60 mharper42,… I guess I shoulda’ ‘spained that it was imposable to park a 65 Chrysler since it is one size smaller than a Battleship you have to Moor it. 😉
#59 Dave
Whew, Dave, you threw me there with that Moor business, I thought for a minute you were talking about the state employee giving that driving test!
Wagonburner Have any of you people gotten a driver license for a kid lately? I’ve tried to call the DPS, but they only have recordings. Apparently in this region, you have to make an appearance to make an appointment, then another to take the in-car test. What’s up with that? Kids have to take off from school (and parents from… Read more »
I don’t know what this is, but it’s cool.
#52 Ya wanna go out of the city for the test, and there flaming arrow has a better chance of passing on the first try. The license is only good for a year but they have to renew in person, which they can do on their own, ifn they do it in a timely fashion ie about a month before… Read more »
Naw Shannon. Ask anyone and try to convince them I’m not in Austin County. My address says I am but Colorado County just takes my tax money at half the rate Austin County would. Thanks, keep up the donations on my behalf. Some of us appreciate it.
Cbr is one of those rare birds that actually admit to being from Colorado County.
He doesnt know any better.
52
At’s good! You musta got the message, we don’t take to wagon flamers out here in our neck of de woods very well specially when they could be inflicting harm amoungst our redneck cowboy populace.
Doooood, I am glad that you reconnected with The Couch to share your sorrow with all your friends here today. My condolences to you and your family.
My good friend’s mom died this morning also, after several weeks of hospitalization, so it was not a surprise for them.
That’s all swell, but trying to get to Columbus twice is a serious hassle. For the 17 & 18 year visits, do they retest or what?
#43 Pyro: Let’s make matters even more worser ( :>) ) The youngun has to go back when he/she is 17 and again when 18, but at least they can do that without you. You can also put 4 to one odds that ifn your tester is a black woman and the kid is a white male, he will fail… Read more »

Plus I heard that Muslims don’t believe in insurance so they are waived from ObamaScore whether they are citizens or not.
Things are getting faster & furiouser.
In this installment, the US Government bought guns, then sold them directly to representatives of the Sinaloa Cartel, then looked the other way as they vanished.
Try an outlying DPS office. Ive known many HOU folks come to Brenham to do DPS business and avoid crowds. After calling I don’t know how many DPS offices, I finally talked to a human (who was really nice, btw) in Floresville (Wilson Co – SE of San Antonio) who told me at least what documentation to bring. Many of… Read more »
Boy, my day took a downturn. I had to fire one of my office staff just before lunch time today. We’ve had two occasions of missing money, but I couldn’t prove who the thief was. I had some bait money sitting on my desk now for four days, and I recounted it this morning and wrote the amount down so… Read more »
Yo Pyro – I cannot say how well you’ll do NOW – but I have always spoken to a LIVE person at:
DPS Regional Office Houston 12230 West Road Houston TX, 77065-4523. Main phone: (281) 517-1350

Would they be more competitive than A&M?
Tweet seen over the weekend:
If the UN doesn’t accept Palestine as a full member, what are the chances that they would apply for membership into the Big 12?
An interesting article on a contencious state of affairs

#36 You weren’t paying attention in class. The Texas establishment has been running the whole NWO establishment show since 1988.
According to that article, the UAW accepted a two or three year no strike agreement as part of the bailout. If the goons reject this deal I think the next step is arbitration. These guys will learn they do indeed work for The Man.
“All the UAW officials tell you is you’re lucky to have a job,” Jeff, a worker from the Delta Township plant told the WSWS. “It’s just like management.” “The other day at work I said to the guys, ‘We should form a union because we’re facing what auto workers were in the 1930s.’ This time we have to form a… Read more »
But are they Texas establishment?
Just to show that I don’t “discriminate” between Republicans and Dummycrats, I am going to write a “Top Ten” list of captions for this Herman Cain picture. I hope the liberals enjoy it. Here goes: 1) “Let’s see Obummer play the “race” card on me!!!” 2) “I don’t need no stinkin’ affirmative action to get ahead.” 3) “If I was… Read more »
Idiots don’t realize that when they’re fighting The Man that they are fighting both their employer and the UAW, since the UAW owns a big chunk of their employer.
They and the company they work for are owned by The Man.
The UAW is establishment. They’re UINO.
A bunch of idiot crybabies realize what the UAW is about…….the UAW.

It is difficult for me to see how he could be worse than what we have. If he gets a couple of good advisors, he would be fine.
#28 I agree. An example on a much smaller scale was what Bettancourt did when he came into the Tax Assessors office. Improving efficiency can go a long way. Eliminating a couple of cabinet-level departments on his first day in office would be a good start. My biggest concern with Cain would be foreign affairs.
#25 Boney,
Yes sir, we are of the survivor philosophy in this house. Adapt and overcome. Our Savior always sees us through.
Best,
Dude
The objective of a business is to make a profit. Getting rid of redundancy and excess overhead is a first step when taking over a failing operation. Mr Cain will find that very frustrating to accomplish in D.C., but he is the only one running who may give it a serious try. imo.
#22 texanukian Stop whining and fight! Step one, get rid of Obama. After all, the only connection he has to African Americans is that his mother’s family bought them and his father’s family sold them.A black guy, a white guy, a Muslim, an illegal alien, and a Communist walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “What can I get you… Read more »
#24 – I didn’t mean to insinuate that. I think he’s a stand-up guy who is truly “post racial”, unlike our HNP. My list was meant to be a joke. While I admire Cain, I don’t think it’s possible to run a government like a business, at least for a conservative. The objective of business is to grow. The conservative… Read more »
#23 Doooooooooode: I don’t know how close you were to your MIL, but I am sure that you are grieving over your own loss and grieving over the pain your wife must be feeling. Understand that the pain decreases a little each day and the healing only comes after the grief. Just as the Psalmist said in the 23 Psalm,… Read more »
#18 Hammy: Herman Cain – “I’m blacker than Barack” candidate That is the way that the LIB-VSRs will attempt to play it. I have not found any evidence that Herman Cain uses his race at all. The only time his race ever comes into play is when he describes his dirt poor upbringing, he was the definition of “underprivileged” at… Read more »
Thanks folks. There is power in prayer.
