Bourbon
did not realize wheatley stopped making the 4g. legent is good, but not worth going crazy for. the one I've been impressed with lately is balcones pot still. $23. that's half the price of their other products, and a damn good bourbon.

Red Meat is Not What is Killing You.
hard to read those findings and not get cloakroomy. this smacks of trump and more pseudoscience. this will go down as the era of the imbeciles.

austin radio stuff
i listen to people talk way too much in real life to tolerate it on the radio. I just cancelled my Sirius, so am back to local radio in my car (unless listening to ipod or Spotify). other than kutx and sun, I cant find much out there. acl is a misnomer, and plays no Austin music, just vapid pop. what do you guys listen to?

Bourbon
in the last couple of months i've found a bottle of weller antique, parker heritage, and a stagg jr. that's about it. no blantons, eht of any kind (looking for the single, 4grain, or amaranth), btac. if anyone is in austin and knows of some please pm me.

The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
the dude that's best friends of the youngest gemstone bothers me. gives me the creeps. I don't like the character, don't like the actor, and don't see that it adds any value to the show.

Ken Burns: Country Music. 8 episodes. 16 Hours. Starts Sep. 15.
faron did him a solid. not many musicians would have been that selfless and generous. that was a class act move right there.

Texas opens as a 7 point favorite v Oklahoma State
Whittington will likely go back to wr with burt, duvernay, Johnson, all being seniors. coin flip at this point as to whether moore plays again for us or not.

Bourbon

allocation is allocation. Kentucky had no better selection of bourbon on the shelves than texas does.

The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
it's an okay show but not as funny as it could be. similar cast to vice principals, but imho that show was funnier than this one.

any talk of this getting picked up by a premium cable channel or on demand?

LSU @ Texas 9/7 6:30 PM on ABC: Geaux Fuck Yourself Bitch
dude, i like you, and you're normally a good poster, but this could be your worst take ever. your fans were aggy level douchebags before the game and since. your coach lies and fakes injuries. ehlinger had a career high, not against tulsa, san jose state, baylor, kansas, but career high yardage against the supposedly vaunted lsu defense. and he had a poor first half, missing several easy throws. next year is going to be epic.

I like the legent too. could easily be an everyday drinker.

Bourbon
some bourbon snobs asked one of the van winkels once, what do you say when you see someone mixing pappy with coke, and his answer was "thank you for drinking pappy". doesn't matter how you drink it, drink it like you like it.

How to appeal to reluctant Trump voters?
there are definitely more closet nationalists in this country than we know about. that's one thing 2016 taught us, and it hasn't changed any. i expect trump to get just as many votes in 2020. loyal to a fault, they're going down with the ship.

Gentleman Jack - HBO
i thought it was a fantastic show. the lead actress is a fantastic actress. she is nailing this role, and should have received more acclaim for it.

How to appeal to reluctant Trump voters?
i'm a huge fan of washington journal on cspan. perfect sociology study on politics and our society. one thing i've noticed is how many callers that claim to be independent are very conservative. you can tell in the first couple of sentences these people don't have a democrat bone in their body. one guy this week, "and now from a caller on our independent line", claimed that kamala harris wasn't black. if 90% of the "independents" are conservatives, maybe they are just embarrassed for trump and ashamed to admit they are republicans?

The petty, wonderful and delightfully wierd rise of the Horns Down
agreed. if chris nelson rubbing his belly after a sack is a 15-yd penalty, then by god anyone doing the horns down after a sack should be a 15-yd penalty. the fact that it has to be directed at someone to be a penalty is ludicrous.

Bourbon
I get your frustration, but on the other hand, buffalo trace and wheatley might deserve a citizens medal, or medal of freedom. they are an American icon. the 5 pappy's and 5 btac's are the 10 most sought after bourbons in the world. add to that weller 12, weller antique, eh taylor, rockhill farms, blantons, eagle rare, stagg jr, elmer t lee. this is a distillery that puts out quality products consistently and historically. they deserve credit, and special place in the heart of all bourbon lovers.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
nothing would please me more than if Pelosi, schumer, and McConnell unexpectedly retired and could not come back next session. they are so old, complacent, and status quo. the country has passed them by. time for new leadership.

Bourbon
fight the crowds for one bottle of weller 12 sounds worth it to me.
