My official stance is Trump's term so far has been a moderate success.

My players won her playoff the following day. She crushed a drive and made a great putt after her opponent made a Seve worthy 100 yeard bump and run to within 20 feet. My top male player also advanced to the regional competition. Next week I'll be out all week coaching. We have a couple of the top teams in the country in our region. It will be very difficult for with of my players to advance to the state meet, but it is possible,

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) IMO people are more outraged at things that seem relevant to their lives, or something that could happen to them. People have had bad experiences flying, especially with united, and so they are paying attention. Because people are clicking, more stories are being written. Another factor is this was avoidable. There was a clearly better choice, continuing to offer more and more compensation until someone accepted. When we see a problem that has a solution we become more frustrated and outraged when it isn't followed. Then when the problem seems to be corporate greed and valuing money and employees over paying customers it becomes compounded. School shootings and other evil without clear answers? There isn't a direct and clear channel to vent.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) Just a very stupid group of people made worse by their stance of never, ever backing down when they are shown to have made a mistake. x2 The repeated denials in the face of hard evidence is just mind boggling. And it seems a sizable portion of the population believes it. I feel like we're in a great Monty Python skit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) No, it was in a parking lot. Most would say, hmmm, what's that and either throw them away or laugh and kick them harder. Think about it. Who would say, "I bet these keys belong to somebody in this hotel." I believe most people would turn them in. But I live in an area known for hospitality and being neighborly.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 09:40 AM) Conversation Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not! 6:02 PM · Aug 30, 2013 Just about everything he has criticized Obama about, he has been guilty of in less than 100 days. Trump is a joke. What would Trump be tweeting at 3 AM if Hillary dropped some missiles on an airbase and forgot to hit the runways? I'm going to make a small statement in defense of the President. Speaking generally and not to any one specific situation. I really hope that the decision making from the Oval Office is much different than from anywhere else. There should be more information that the average citizen does not have access to. So I applaud his willingness to reverse his previous positions based on the new information. We should view this as a positive, not a negative. (And you conservatives bookmark this for future needs)

Our girl's district tournament was yesterday and today. I'm sitting in the clubhouse and my #1 was in 1st place, but probably going to drop to 2nd. She would qualify to advance to the regional tournament no problem. We're sitting these hoping a friend at another school would have a chance to get in a playoff to advance as well. Everything is looking fine when out of nowhere a Freshman shoots a personal best and boom, we're in a playoff for 2nd and 3rd place. Like a scene out of Caddyshack a storm is blowing in. We eventually head to the #1 tee to start a sudden victory playoff. Our opponent blasts a nice hybrid down the middle that ends up on the right side of the fairway. My layer pushes one into some tall grass and trees that line the hole. One of the things I really like about golf is everyone rushes over to look for the ball. Just as we were about to give up a member of the opposing team finds the ball. What sportsmanship. Without a clear shot we had to pitch out to the fairway. The opponent hits to the right side of the green with a tricky 25' putt coming up. My player hits a wedge to about 12 feet. The opponent lags one to about 2 feet. We miss and tap in for the 5 and wait. The girl slides it by on the high side, tied. Horn blast, lightning, rush to the clubhouse. To be continued tomorrow at a different course. LOL Boys start at 7:30 tomorrow for their two day event.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Good for Sergio. So who is the new best player to never win a major? Westwood has the most starts without one, it seems like Fowler is way overdue too. Rickie in my book, especially after the Player's win.

Are we using this as a golf "catch all"? If so, while I always enjoy Master's Week, next week is our district tournaments. I have the favorite on the girl's side and a top four on the boy's side. Both should advance to our regional tournament. It's interesting plotting strategy with them the past couple weeks. One we are building a plan so she doesn't beat herself, the other we are looking for high percentage gambles to find a couple more birdies. He's going to need to shoot right around even par for the two days to win. 155 or so should allow him to advance. Coaching is far more stressful than playing.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:16 PM) We spent probably over $100m to cause some mild damage to run ways that'll be fixed quickly. https://t.co/eAaAd8izda The military-industrial complex needs to be repaid. Let's burn some inventory and restock.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) Tesla just overtook Ford and GM for the most valuable car company in the US. Didn't even notice their stock is up over $300 a share now. Told my dad to buy 4 years ago or so when it was around $110. They will go down has having the best business plan, especially in regard to marketing, than any company in the 21st century.

Syria, North Korea, etc are complex problems with really no perfect solution. We choose between the bad. It may be comforting to the masses hen a president makes it seem like he has the "one" solution, but it just does not reflect reality. Whatever Trump does will succeed and fail on certain levels. I hope if he is reelected he blames his previous administration for any problems. That would be so awesome.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) Seriously though, the stupidity of the admin just blows my mind. It's not asking much to check your history to make sure you haven't said something that contradicts what you're about to say. You don't have to look back at every VHS tape from your interviews in 1983. But for f***'s sake, it's Twitter. It's a God damn search engine. It's not difficult or time consuming! Seriously, and I do not mean most of his supporters here. There are enough supporters that will ignore that and just believe what he just wrote. We have short attention spans. It really is majestic how well he is working to our least common denominator.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) Pretty sure that would be a capitol offense in Texas. Toyota is building trucks here. So we're pretty open minded lol

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) What... exactly... do you mean by "enjoying"? Like actually enjoying, or enjoying in the sarcastic/entertaining sense? In the fascinated by the generally unseen forces that shape our government. And yes, also in the sarcastic, "How do you like your outsider nooooow? kind of way.

You have to first love baseball. Even as "bad" as these guys appear to be, they are among the 300 or so best baseball players in the world. Plus, the other teams have some really good players. If you love baseball at a high level MLB is the way to go.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:34 PM) they're incredibly influential without you realizing it. That's the point. Exactly. But they are one trickle in the flood. And let's not forget about foreign influences.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) All losing streaks are hereby referred to as a "Beer Run"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) That is exactly what I was thinking. I swear both of them use the same playbook. Just the names change. And about as influential on a cellular lever to the average voter here. Soros to the left of me, Koch bros to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

My wife just bought a Subaru Forester a few months back. I am very impressed. From the car buying experience, the after purchase follow ups, and driving the vehicle it has been all first rate. She has all the safety features imaginable. I love the intelligent cruise control. If they made a 3/4 ton pickup it would be my next truck.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:20 PM) Did you know Republicans are literally the only people who talk about George Soros? I literally don't know a thing about his political involvements. Nothing. Koch Brothers of the left.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 05:33 PM) People say canceled because in real life people use delayed and postponed more interchangeably, so they say canceled to let them know the game ain't happening that day. To the people communicating it isn't confusing at all so I'm gonna side with them. Languages are fluid and always changing. I'm with you. Most people understood what happened.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) Wish all Sox fans a safe and productive 2017 season. It won't be productive in the win column but if the veterans can be healthy and put up some numbers, it will be productive in the sense that they can then get traded for various degrees of younger talent. So let's hope that's the case. At least baseball is back and that's a good thing. Mark
