And Thune still leads the Senate, they've done basically zilch for the past 2 years (longer really, but that's what's most glaring now), and they are taking a week off.

Woo Weee!

The ole folksisms sure are fun though! :rolleyes:

Can someone ask him what the hell the pompatus of love is, though?

What does that have to do with it being inappropriate and disrespectful? There are numerous situations where your behavior can be objectively awful without breaking any laws or rules. Posing for a photo (probably with a smile on his face because, let's be honest, who wants to look sad in a group photo) there is making it about yourself when that place is anything and everything but that. Show me anyone else doing it and I'll have the same opinion.


It struck me as a strange play, the way they were all crouched down and eagerly posing together with the tomb (and presumably the soldier guard) in the background, as if they were some corporate group that got sideline passes for a college football game pregame, posing for a "fun pic" on the field.

I see the connect, but it's really not.

The Mechanical, Electrical and plumbing systems alone are exponentially bigger than just to condition and maintain a building for people to work in. Servers, and that many, would be more than likely too heavy for each floor plate to have.

Would be cool if they could do it that way and alleviate all the issues.


Oh, I wasn't trying to argue or assert that this idea would be a "solution" to the current situation. More just that we have always had something at least somewhat similar in city centers pretty much everywhere.

Building them in a city block or two is not cost effective I suppose. Need lots of room.


In just about every downtown in America there is a tall building somewhere that has no windows. You may have never noticed it, but they are there. These were the original "data centers."

What an absurd way to interpret this stunt. :lol:

Yes, it was a stunt (a smart one, for sure), but yes your read on it is utterly absurd.

Dude used to troll the shite out of the freaks at LSU Free Speech Alley. :bow:

Can you explain to me what is wrong with this?


I thought the point of the OP was about throwing goofy corporate-speak like that into family/personal communications.

Is that how you typically speak with your loved ones?

Wait, nevermind.

I don’t know where the laughing came from, but the posing for the photo deal seemed pretty tacky to me, how they did it there.

Believing a guy, who ostensibly wants to be a national championship coach, would prefer apathy and complacency in a fanbase over the typical passion we have always had. :lol:

Love the old John Ferguson calls.

Dude had the GOAT radio voice. :bow:

But that's not how it was being governed. Centralizing all decision making authority at the capital, and telling your constituents they don't get a say, is not small government conservatism.


Sure. I was speaking to the general populous, though.

I think the success of the Texas economy in attracting big business has turned a lot of the state more purple than 2024 would’ve indicated. I think generally there was little to no enthusiasm for a fourth Abbott term, Paxton, or Dan Patrick.


I understand the accepted narrative of all this.

It doesn't make it any less stupid to me to watch a prosperous generally conservative state make such an abrupt turnabout.

It's hard to say what I would see as a worse look if I lived in Texas, the goofy cheating angle or the idea that we really did fall, seemingly full bore, for this shite.
It's almost like you can come up with a goofy map to say anything you want to say, depending upon whatever picture you want to paint.

It's fun, isn't it?
Interesting to see La. leading the Deep South here.
