While Wednesday is my regular drinking night on Dickson, it starts and ends earlier for me and it's not at the comedy club (I still have to work for a living).

Come by the Dickson St. Pub between 5:30 and 7 next Wednesday and I'll buy you a drink.

Speaking of, I’ve been truly saddened by all the horrible statements being made today by conservatives who don’t know how to graciously lose an election. Hate-filled rants and even threats of violence by unhinged individuals upset simply because ‘their guy’ didn’t win. Some really scary stuff.

I will truly never understand what the hell’s wrong with these people!

Gyl, thanks for the article, I'll stay with IEM and their $500 limit. There was one thing with the article I found blatantly wrong, the bit about it requiring two days for a bank transfer. Last one I did was in '10 and it took less than 30 min.
I gotta check my account but think I bought 'bama when he was 0.58 or close, right after Rmoney was the nominee and all the others had trashed him into the pits. I was pretty sure not much more needed to be said about him, Repubs killed Rmoney. So, I can live with a 42% return, you can annualize it if you wish.

Mitch McConnell’s Republican Party Can Meet Me In The Middle and Kiss My Ass

"Once the real news called the race for Obama, I tuned into Fox News to see if Carl Rove was giving refunds. I had to laugh at the meltdown that was happening. Carl wanted a recount in Ohio and some blonde woman with too much make-up lamented about the inconvenient truth of Hurricane Sandy. Evidently Sandy and fraudulent voters had given the election unfairly to Obama"

(eLwood, I apologize for arguing that last statement with you a few years ago. I have learned that I was wrong.)

I'll happily buy you a drink and toast your long memory. I ended up holding my nose and voting for Greg as a buttress against the Koch take over of the Ledge. I still think it was a stupid stand by Greg, and I think he'll probably agree with me.

We're too late for this guy, though I'm pretty sure there's a message here, for somebody . . . .

Norma, I read elsewhere on your link that Mittney LOST Houston by two votes. One of the richest and most conservative cities in Red Texas went for Obama. The Republican Party HAS dug it's grave with Hispanic people who won't forget how they were treated by that political party. Yet, this morning on one of the talk shows, I saw a republican complaining about immigration. They haven't learned from the past and they won't learn in the future and that will be the cause of the demise of the R party. They pine for a luxurious past and 'values' that never really existed for two thirds of us 60 years ago.

Hispanics are becoming a force here. A year ago, there was one AM radio station in Little Rock that served that market. Now, there are two dedicated FM stations and that AM station plus occasional programming on KABF all playing tejano and popular spanish music and advertising. I see hispanic groceries and small businesses opening all the time, and I hear spanish more and more at the store, along with new strange and wonderful foods that I'd love to learn to cook.

America is changing, and for the better. It won't be as fast as we like and there will be setbacks, but it will keep happening.

And why do ALL these people look like generations of inbred Pillsburys and Sara Lees?
