 Public restrooms being unisex makes men’s room nicer and women’s room lines smaller

The Tax Bill — passes at 1:30am on a saturday — 500 page document that has people’s handwritten scribble on it — given to senator’s like 2 hours or less before the vote — we deserve better.

This isn’t even a criticism of the Republican party, not the Democrats — congress is not longer working for us — they’re working for themselves. They are no longer public servants they are making us, the public, their servants. 

We need to stand against this “cabal”, this emerging oligarchy  is unacceptable. The courts need to step in, at the behest of the people. We need term limits on all congressional positions… we need them to stop being the ones allowed to draw their own congressional districts and gerrymander our futures away. Wake up — this isn’t about party, or about tax cuts, it’s about a runaway power drunk washington ruling class— guys, it’s time to call BS 

Skyline Chili ingredients: 2 pounds of ground beef, 2 cups of chopped onions. 4 cups of beef stock, 2 cans of tomato sauce, 2-3 table spoons of chili powder, 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 ounce of grated unsweetened chocolate — and yeah and like a mountain of cheese

Tennessee is going to Hire Tee Martin — feels like brining in Phil Fulmer (and based on the fact that no accomplished head coach would take this job right now)… it feels like Tee Martin is the move. 

I love how people are now clamoring for an 8 team playoff in — but i’d much rather argue over #4 and #5 then #2 and #3

Also — the more spots we create, the more watered down the regular season gets. We already have way fewer undefeated teams than we used to in the BCS ear — why, cuz there is room for error… if we start letting in 8 teams — how many 3 loss and 4 loss teams are we going to have to decide between? 

Who you got in the College Football playoff first round games? Clemson vs. Alabama ? Georgia vs Oklahoma ? Who do you HOPE wins it all?
