Here’s some blasting testimony from someone who knows what he’s talking about, ‘cuz he’s living that regulatory and taxing dream that Obama loves.
I really don’t think I need to elaborate any further.

Heh.
Shannon; I’m beginning to get this sick feeling that the R’s really are going to figure out a way to lose to the worst incumbent in history. That could happen but Perry or Romney would defeat Obama. Even in their low moments (Romney didn’t do particularly well neither in the last debate) they’d outshine Obama in any debate. In my… Read more »
I got one of those little brothers too.
You cannot believe what passes for a supermarket around here. They are the worst I have ever seen anywhere in America. Yup, outside America you’ll come across pigs hanging outside covered with flies. I’ve seen it myself. I never bought meat from such a place but I ate in many people’s homes and no doubt that they bought their meat… Read more »

Actually I interpreted your post as defending HEB. I was backing you up.
I got your back, mharper. 🙂
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a rousing and passionate speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Friday. Not only did he say that every member should have walked out on Ahmadinejad after he suggested 9/11 was an American conspiracy, but he also laid out why the peace process hasn’t worked — mainly because the Palestinians have sabotaged it —… Read more »
I would give one helluva lot to have an HEB in my neighborhood. I don’t care how they run the aisles. You complainers down there are a bunch of spoiled sissies. You cannot believe what passes for a supermarket around here. They are the worst I have ever seen anywhere in America. In fact, that applies to just about any… Read more »

I don’t know, I didn’t see the debate but the more I hear the You Have No Heart replay, the madder I get. Bush got away with Campassionant Conservatism but I don’t think it would play again.
83 No, his Howard Dean moment was when he stuttered thru a lame attempt at humor while trying to nail Romney for flip flops. And even that doesn’t qualify as a HD moment. But you get the feeling there’s one just around the corner. He’s really sucked in these debates, but then, I’ve never liked the guy, so my opinion… Read more »
WB, Thanks for correcting my math. I am embarassed and will break my slide rule across my knee in shame. Normally, I would express C as 3.0EE8 meters/sec. Using m instead of km is how one overshoots a Mars landing. I was posting at the same time I was listening to the world’s most boring teleconference. I should have known.… Read more »
This is an interesting view on the GM-UAW deal. I usually consider this site a joke but they should have the inside track on this one.

King Obumma asks his faithful sheepers DYLM then tells them to help him pass his gobs of jobs bill.
So was Rick Perry’s no heart statement his Howard Dean moment?
Darren, please do not misunderstand. I was not denigrating HEB overall, just one run-down store that has since closed up shop since my one experience with it 15 years ago. All that other stuff about new store layouts was news to me.

Bet Iron Mary Cash would — or just bust her way out through the floral department.
#77 Aww, yall just gotta just grin and bear it, make your way to the fabulous meat selections or specials on crawfish or king crab legs, make it through each aisle to get free samples of all kinda good grub and get to the bread section where you find the only fresh Texas Toast in town and then figure out… Read more »
mharper;
I shop at HEB all the time though it’s a small store, not a superstore which might make a difference to shoppers. Though from time to time I make my way to an HEB superstore and really did not mind shopping there.
Nearly 700,000 Tennesseans will gain new coverage under health-care reform, but those already with insurance might have to wait longer to receive care and younger people overall may have to pay more. Those are among findings from a report out from a think tank the state’s largest health insurer, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, launched this year to study the interface… Read more »

You’re just going to have to take our word for it. It’s the grocery store design from he||.
Mharp might never find her way out of there.

Green eyed monster, here.
Yup, as well as, “you must be cautious”.
Sure you can. When at their house, just say that you don’t like their food. You’ll get an automatic disinvite to ever enter into their house again. Now, skankiness at a church, that’s another story.

Uh, I’ve answered this one in a private email to you.
I can’t change the names to protect the innocent because there weren’t any innocents – we were all guilty as hell.
But now that the video’s been removed, you got a lot of elaboration to do. 🙂
Texpat – I know a lady named Bitsy. I wonder if it could be the same one.
I don’t quite follow the aisle/zigzag comments about new HEB stores. I haven’t been in a new one and the old ghetto store was shut down long ago. The building belongs to Harris County probation services the last 5-6 years. I think I was in the building for a city council district meeting or some such 4-5 years ago and… Read more »
Back in about 1974-75, I knew a girl who was close friends with Townes. She called me up and said he was playing at the Old Quarter so let’s go down to see him. We’ve got a table near the mike and Townes is late, as usual, and well on his way to being drunk. He plays a great first… Read more »
He actually spoke warmly of Leon. Sang a song he wrote with him about some fishing place he owned in Arkansas. Lives in Colorado now, I think. His wife was the opening act. Let’s just say that it was the kind of act that a doting husband would let a wife who is a lot less talented than she thinks… Read more »
Willis Allan Ramsey was my favorite songwriter back in the golden days of Texas music. He hooked up with Leon Russell, who ripped him off and burned him badly. Ramsey retreated back to East Texas and nobody heard from him for many years. I was really glad to see him step back into the spotlight.
BTW—Saw Willis Allan Ramsey at the Mucky Duck a couple months ago, Shake Russel last month, and Junior Brown weekend before last.
Magnum opus, fer sure
I sure do miss this guy.
I understand the retailing theory behind the squirrelly aisle configuration, but they need to do some research on the “Katfish Syndrome”. I think they would be surprised at how many people refuse to shop in the stores with that design. Those West side HEBs are magnificent, but I’m with Katfish. I won’t put up with it. I’ll go down the… Read more »
From what I can see, the one in Gonzalez is laid out like the Katy Kroger on Grand Parkway, and similar to the HEB in Richmond at Grand Parkway and 59.
Sarge
Are they sticking with that ridiculous aisle configuration, or do you only see structural plans?
The HEB in Brenham is okay. It’s an older store (without the stupid diagonal design). I can attest to the fact that HEB Stores have a new design. Did one in Pearsall earlier this year. Got a near clone going to Gonzales on my desk now. Another squad is working on the “HEB of the Future” going summers in Santone.… Read more »

It beats going to Walmart, any day.
Amen
#56 Mharper I shopped HEB quite happily when I lived in Corpus a long time ago. Never lived close to any HEB in Houston until current home. It was a ghetto HEB and I only went there one time, soon after we bought this house 15 yrs ago. The whole store smelled like sour milk. For me, it was the… Read more »
85 Katfish says: September 23, 2011 at 12:47 am #76 – I would never question HEBs generosity………………..but for Gawdsakes their stores were laid out by Stevie Wonder!! 🙂 (‘s’ why I won’t shop there) I shopped HEB quite happily when I lived in Corpus a long time ago. Never lived close to any HEB in Houston until current home. It… Read more »
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

To much math… how about some Will Rogers. “Never squat while wearing your spurs” Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages this country has ever known.

If you were to fire the neutrino stream straight down and measure when they emerge from the ground at the antipodal point to CERN, you would get the maximum separation (thus maximum baseline distance). By doing this, you then run into the difficulty of ensuring the clocks are sufficiently synchronized to allow measurements with such tight tolerance. The Earth is… Read more »
from the inbox: From the Round Pen Trapped I finished feedin’ one mornin’ and was enjoyin’ the muffled sounds of the horses as they fed on the sweetfeed in their troughs when a thought crossed my mind. So while the horses finished eatin’, I slipped down the alley and opened up a trail to the open pasture beyond the pens.… Read more »
#50 Simple: I think you may have left a couple of key words out of your first paragraph. My position is that, due to the inherent inaccuracy of the instruments and the relatively short distance from Cern to the spot in Italy (723 kilometers), a big increase in the distance will reduce the instrument inaccuracy factor. 60 billionths of a… Read more »
45 At 300,000 meters/per second (speed of light) is the increase from 17 kilometers (length of Large Hadron Accelerator at Cern) to a couple of thousand kilometers that significant. This is not the first time that “faster than light” particles with rest masses greater than zero have been found. The inherent inaccuracy of the whole system makes such a measurement… Read more »

The inbred morons calling themselves Palestinians are claiming the Israelis are ethnically cleansing? Heh. That’s a good one. Nice that they (and apparently the world media) have forgotten about all the Jews in Muslim countries that were forcibly removed. Enough of this. Kick all “Palestinians” in the West Bank and Gaza into Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. Those are their ancestral… Read more »

Yeah, we follow that, but CERN is full of genius-level scientists. They know all that.
