It's ok to like Torchy's as long as you don't pretend that it's Mexican food. Anyway, has Houston elected its first Republican mayor yet? edit http://www.khou.com/elections/ Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Dec 13, 2015 |

Was worried for a minute there, thank goodness King didn't pull it off. Some interesting data came out of the election, if anyone is curious. Kuffner is compiling it on his site. http://offthekuff.com/wp/?p=71412 And.

Shoulda checked here first, just went to post that in the November thread. Texans sure have been trying to look worse than Florida the past few years and it's getting close to working. If the oil business keeps falling apart we're going to turn into Kansas.

How insecure do you have to be to want to carry a pistol in a holster when you go shopping? Old timers driving around with rifles on racks in the cab of their trucks is one thing, but who actually needs to walk around town carrying a weapon other than that that rear end in a top hat with the fedora that kept showing up at Whataburger with his neckbeard friends?

http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news/local-govt-politics/banking-on-popularity-uber-and-lyft-hit-a-wall-in-/nrJPc/quote:“It would change the entire experience of living in Austin if Uber and Lyft were to leave,” said Anthony Rose, 29, who moved to Austin from the San Francisco Bay Area a year and a half ago and depends on Uber almost daily to get around the city. Rose said he’s already voted for Prop 1. Did this get posted already, cause oh man that quote is the most AUSTIN thing I've read.

https://www.texastribune.org/2016/05/10/analysis-texas-legislators-not-local-voters-have-f/ The Tribune weighs in. quote:On Saturday, Austin voters said they wanted drivers for ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to follow existing local laws on background and fingerprint checks and on stopping in traffic to drop off and pick up fares. It's a good point that the state would have to deregulate all cab services to allow uber to get what they want and I'm not sure they'd go that far, but given the people that've been elected lately I don't really know what to expect from them.

"Mr. Chisum, what's the penalty range for a class c misdemeanor?" "If you were in my county, could be hangin'" edit radical meme posted:Molly Ivins was a national treasure and a legendary Texan. I'd love to see what she would write about Trump and the current GOP. I'm just glad she isn't alive to see the current state of the capitol, it's far worse than she ever dealt with. We've always had idiots and lobbyists in the House, having pay frozen for forty years will do that, but it's gotten so bad that those guys are working with the Democrats to shut down the tea party idiots that've been elected.

Well-to-do white people choose white people tacos as best tacos.  Kinda surprised they didn't vote the McDonald's wraps as best taco. zoux posted:Torchy's is what some piece of poo poo SF SV VC thinks Austin is like. They're certainly doing a good job of making that transformation happen. Give them a few more years and they'll have SXSW moved to Round Rock so they can have some peace and quiet. Lote posted:The best tacos are from either unnamed places in a gas station or shacks in a parking lot labeled "Tacos" and nothing else. Bonus points if you have to pay the gringo tax.

SXSW on the riverwalk would be pretty awesome and I"d rather go to that. zoux posted:Yesterday on the way to work, I take S. First into downtown since Mopac is hosed and they had some off-duty cop at 2nd street stopping traffic on a green light so that a line of pedicabs, each with a tech bro in the back attending the Open Souce Con at the W, could convey them into their venue without the indignity of having to wait to cross. Traffic was backed up almost all the way to Oltorf. Too bad hurricanes never reach that far inland...
