My game got worst the more I drank I blew a -5 lead and finished +6. The Asheville course killed me

Many of us have always been fiscally responsible....it just doesn't fit your narrative.

Seriously though......more Red State handouts incoming. And then the pisser is that everyone will be allowed to rebuild in flood zones. :roll: :thumbdown:

You’ll spell out “asshole” but not “fuckin”?

Do you also bitch and moan when Blue States receive federal assistance?

Isn’t the purpose of those FEMA funds to be used in these sort of circumstances? It’s not like the money is coming from education programs or social security. It’s from the DRF. The money is set aside for this reason.

So what’s your issue? That the money is being used for its purpose....or that its being used in states that differ from you politically?

I have always been of the opinion if you live in a floodplain, on the ocean, etc you get one chance for the Government to help out (buy out property, etc). After that, you are on your own when it comes to rebuilding.

One of these days, maybe next fall, I'm coming up there to see what all this bullshit is about. Also for a game. I'll take loud, but no cold. Septemberish. Also bag of dicks. No geodicks though.
Be ready. We'll drink. And fight. Probably puke. Full homo.
