I’d add two:

The Road to Serfdom - F.A. Hayek
Gulag Archipelago- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This is true. Cohen was also being challenged by Justin Pearson in the Democrat primary this year.

He’s the young man who pitched the big fit in the TN state legislature yesterday - in part because his potential political future (and subsequent rise to national prominence) just got kneecapped.
This guy is perhaps the one most affected by this new map. I think he was running against Steve Cohen in the upcoming Democrat primary.

I’m finishing up a book about this incident now and it’s kinda a refreshing look at how complicated warfare was during this time period.



What’s the book?
I just paid the rest of my taxes. The government magically makes it disappear. Poof. Money gone.

Not a thread high jack, sorry. Just a noteworthy moment. Lots of Muslim individuals in GTown and Collierville. Big islamic cultural center in Cordova. Not just Texas.

But seriously - there would be several states that would immediately ratify it… but not enough.

Complain about the fans all you want but they have a good reason to follow the team and be excited about this.


Show me where I was complaining, my man. Good game. Wish Vandy had half the crowd Nebraska has for…. anything.

Uh - Vandy didn’t win the SEC tournament

Nebraska wins the award for ugliest fans I’ve ever seen. Ughhh.

Heartbreak. Absolute heartbreak.

Dude has a straight up sports bra on. Guess it’s one of tracker things?
