Martinez and Rizzo out for the Nats.  Won't change much unless the ownership changes.

By far the biggest issue we have right now is simple.  We’ve let the losers get control of society. The western liberal society we helped create is by far the best in human history by every single measurable of human existence. But somehow we’re letting the losers who are so F’ing stupid they can’t be successful or happy even in this society rip it apart. Instead of getting an education or developing marketable skills they’re mad immigrants took their jobs. Ya ok. If you were so incompetent you couldn’t get a service industry job in this economy, your problem isn’t anyone else. 
 

The legitimate issues we do have, inadequate healthcare, guns, not enough resources or investment for impoverished communities, lack of adequate drug rehabilitation, are mostly created by the same people these morons think are the answer to their struggles. 
 

We simply need to wrestle control away from the dumbest losers in our society who aren’t qualified to run a lemonade stand but somehow got the keys to the car and are running us into a ditch because their big mad they’re no education barely literate 80 IQ selves weren’t making 500k a year. 

Their not they’re, but otherwise kind of agree with this random post.

OK folks. We actually sighted the Sun today. We ALMOST hit 90. Hardly any rain, getting all excited about Monday, SUN WITH EGYPT-LIKE SUMMER CONDITIONS! Man I'll go out and jebwalk, pretend to be looking for hieroglyphic inscriptions at Amarna! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOKED!

 

Then my heart was shattered by the latest from NWS.

This broken record of an Energizer Bunny forecast is starting to read like a George BM forecast! This, is definitely NOT enjoyable. We are stuck in this nightmarish RUT, with no way out.

 

ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME?  The radar returns are evaporating! Drier air is advecting in right now at the mid levels! I was all excited about pretending to be Indiana Jones' Dad looking for the Holy Grail in old Egypt! This weather system is like a damned BROKEN RECORD! It just keeps on going, and going, and going!

I can't BELIEVE this shoosh! The moisture is GONE! There is NO MORE LIFT! Someone at the National Weather Service is obsessed with this damned storm! GET OVER THIS ALREADY! It's high time to forecast 900dm upper ridge over Buda, for the next nine months, La Nina in place with highs in the lower to middle 110s, NO RAIN AT ALL and blistering Egypt-like sun blasting Amarna Buda with fiery heat! I'll be out there dusting off relics and pretending I am archeologisting in the hot countryside at Amarna!

Dammit it's raining again. The radar is getting busy again. There goes my precious  95 degree day! I sure hope we aren't the ones who get stuck with ten more inches!

Grasses down here are greener than emerald treasures in the old Egyptian tombs that are newly discovered that looters have never gotten to. This is not July 7 Central Texas.  This is APRIL 7 Central Texas. 

BEWARE the rain BLOB just to the north. It's sagging south and here we go again, gonna get Kerr Countied. Stay far away from all creeks. The Ground is saturated. Every bit of precip will run off and pile up. 

I got a bad bad left knee. I can't run from the rising waters. They will casually carry me away, it's been really nice knowin' y'all as the Jebman becomes the Floodman.

I am not a flood chaser. The flood is chasing me!

I am seriously Indiana Jonesing for the Valley of The Kings in Egypt, but will likely get Waterworlded instead.
