  1. That's the big thing that matters, although I would not say he survived 3 elections, he won two elections and survived a recall all in a purple state that is closer to blue then red. If he can do that then the question is can he also take it again along with Ohio and Florida in 2016? If he takes the red states and those three purples, he is in.
  2. Not only did I support it but I voted for it as well. The reason it passed in Nebraska was because it was a modest and reasonable increase. That's how we do things in the Cornhusker State. For those companies like fast food restaurants and big box stores, it won't affect them too much since automation will eliminate most of those jobs anyway in the next decade or so.
  3. Maybe they should change their name to the Washington Retards since apparently "Redskins" is offensive but "retarded" is not.
  4. Ha ha! I saw native prairie nearly every day when I was growing up in Nebraska. There is quite a bit of pastureland in central and western Nebraska that's never been seeded. But I guess it's not "native" inasmuch as 100 years of grazing cattle on it, off and on, probably affected the plant population quite a bit. Actually, I'd guess a loft of that pastureland has done better the past 100 years with cattle on it compared to the gigantic uncontrolled herds of tatanka that would sweep through and devour/trample everything in site. In particular, I'd imagine the Sandhills region probably looks as good as it ever has.
  5. Ebyl did a great job explaining how complex the sport really is. To add to the Premier League teams regular season schedules, the top 4 play in the Champions League, Usually two or three are in Europa League, the second tier tournament, then you also have the FA cup which is a tournament for all the teams in the pyramid and then League Cup which the a tournament for the the top four divisions of English football. So a team like Arsenal could be playing their regular season and three tournaments during that season. Sometimes it gets crazy just to follow everything that is going on. To add to what Ebyl said, my team Everton who is usually a 5th-8th place team qualified for Europa this season by finishing 5th last season. What this means for a club like Everton is they needed to go out and get some extra players this season for the extra games they will have to play in Europa. Everton doesn't have a budget like a ManU or Arsenal does so it's much harder for them to get the quantity of players of high quality to play those extra game and not suffer too much playing the Premier league season at the same time. BTW, I too absolutely love the promotion and relegation aspect. It makes so many more of the games important
  6. Good choice picking Everton! I can't get enough of them.
  7. Believe it or not but at one time Seneca had a population around 800. It was a big railroad town.
  8. Very well done USA! They exceeded my expectations by getting through the group stage. Belgium is loaded with talent but they haven't impressed me with their play in the group stage. I would have never figured we would have made it this far so no way am I discounting the US against Belgium.
  9. I don't disagree with you but that song is extremely popular over there. I'd heard awhile ago that it's played in stadiums in Europe, but don't chant it in a game against the USA, heh. Why not? 'cause it's a U.S. song. Just seems weird to me when you're cheering for your country that you'd pick this new song from another country instead of doing, I dunno, some old-timey German soccery chant thing. It's a club level thing just as much as a country thing to use a lot of the same songs. I'm sure they really don't care what country it came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHyQf5PdG9M
  10. I've been there a time or two and that would probably be the best outcome.
  11. The best thing about doing your own work on your house is it does justify to the wife why you need all those tools. Spend $6000 remodeling your bathroom or do it yourself for $2500 and tell her the additional $1000 of tools you bought still saved her $2500 on the remodel, plus you have those tools for the rest of your life. BTW, I have saved myself a lot of money doing things myself that I wasn't so sure I could do but then did after I found some very helpful tutorials on youtube. It can be a great resource for the doityourselfers.
  12. I have never understood why anyone in Nebraska would choose to put vinyl siding on whether it be a new home or or replacing old siding. At the same time if I was an insurance company, I would jack the rates up if the house had vinyl. A house with vinyl on can easily get damaging hail every five years. Heck I knew a homeowner that got damage three times in five years. The new stuff may not fade as much but it still fades. If the vinyl has been on there more then a couple of years, replacement pieces stick out big time. There are so many other problems too. Being able to even find the same product. So many of those vinyl sidings get discontinued and then you are left find something close. Had a neighbor get hailed on one side of the house. The siding was about 7 years old. They couldn't even find anything close and ended having to redo the whole house all because one side got damaged. Don't get me started about all the times I have seen people put there grill up next to the house when they thought it was cooled down and come out the next morning to see a big square of vinyl melted behind. Then you have kids hitting it with balls and putting holes through, people hitting it with a mower or weed whacker, on an on..... Some type of hard siding seems like a no brainer to me if you live in Nebraska. Yes painting sucks but a good quality paint will last you at least 10 years and some of the hard sidings have really nice prefinished products that are supposed to last 15+ years before you need to repaint. I have a wood lap siding on my house. It's probably getting close to 40 years old and is going to need to be replaced soon. Since I plan I living in my house for a long time, I want to spend the extra $$$ and do some kind of concrete siding so I will never have to worry about replacing it again. Bring on the hail. Now that I have made my vinyl siding rant, it amazes me seeing brand new $400K house covered in cheap vinyl. If was spending that kind of money for a house, put something on there that lasts.
  13. As opposed to all the liberals shooting up schools and pushing for a commie state? What an ignorant stupid post. Quit trying to knock commies down to the level of liberals.
  14. I'm still trying to figure out how the tea party members in Virginia found enough time in the day to vote for Brat. I figured they would have been too occupied shooting cops and planning their next step for anarchy.
