Vouchers defeated again so another “special” session
Once again, Gov. Shitbag has been told “no” regarding school vouchers thanks to the GOP members from rural areas. Why? Unlike other, small, more densely populated states, West Texas is very spread out in distance and people. The public schools … Continue reading
Shame on Texas’ politicians…if they still feel it
I would love to waste some time being on a debate show so I can point out how fucking stupid pundits and “journalists” are. I’m not necessarily smarter or the type who does their own research, believe me, I have … Continue reading
…and Texas once again proves it’s still 1860 here
Despite overwhelming evidence that AG Ken Paxton is a guilty piece of crap who abused his office to protect a political donor, the Texas Senate, dominated by MAGA Republicans, acquitted this shit bird on every count. Equally evil Lt. Gov. … Continue reading
The 1860 gubmint of Texas shows how “free” speech is
My immediate guess is that the Texas Republicans are building up a distraction so the Corporate-Owned Media (COM, my new term because Eric Alterman a NeoLiberal racist and establishmentarian can kiss my Leftist ass!) will not see how the Lege … Continue reading
Texas Independence Day, what irony
While Ukraine is up against a pretty brutal invasion from a Russian dictator, the “great” state of Texas has some parallel elements with the ongoing struggle between the two Slavic nation states. Firstly, the Texas War for Independence was similar to … Continue reading

A Prius that’s acceptable in Red Texas
Since Toyota got outed for supporting Neo-Confederate and MAGAt Republicans, they claim they’ll stop giving those assholes money but they will still cater to that crowd with a hybrid vehicle. It satisfies a certain Republican who sort of cares about … Continue reading
Beloved institutional cafeteria chain Luby’s is done
Here’s another place whose demise I’m sure will be blamed on Millenials…Luby’s! For those of you who don’t live in Texas, it’s the equivalent MCL or Old Country Buffet. As you can guess, the food was made for the elderly’s … Continue reading
The latest synopsis map of Texas
Glad to say I live in McConaughey…alright, alright, alright. Poor Hoser is residing in Hairsprayplex, the land in which the higher the hair, the closer to god!
Happy Texas Independence Day 2020!
I can never remember if state government offices are closed today. Might as well be, have a nice three-day weekend, get some errands completed! I’m sure the morons who promote Texas seceding get some electrons to waste via the SCLM, … Continue reading
Whataburger sold to a Chicago interest
Since 1950, the Dobson family has kept their predominantly Texas-based burger chain privately owned. It is something they proudly display on the windows of the restaurants, “Family Owned.” Not any longer. Technically what Harmon Dobson’s offspring have done is sell … Continue reading
An inaccurate and overdue plaque to be removed
Despite the Texas State Preservation Board voting unanimously to remove a plaque that states an outright lie about the Confederacy, I expect Neo Confederate apologists (aka Racists) will step up a misinformation campaign to keep it. Plus this is Texas, we … Continue reading
What follows in a Google search…
Allegedly, these are the first adjectives to follow the names of various Texas cities. I take issue with a couple of them. Firstly, Wichita Falls is “hot”? Compared to where Houston, Austin, Laredo, etc are located, I find that odd. … Continue reading
New term for Urban Dictionary: DouchebAggie(s)
douchebAggie: noun; a student or graduate of Texas A&M who enjoys cruel or sophomoric humor. While waiting in queue for the Aquabats concert, a bunch of us were watching these semi-drunk Aggies hanging out on the balcony of their expensive downtown … Continue reading
Everything’s bigger in Texas…
…including the spiders who set up a base camp next to your house! The zigzag pattern at the base is allegedly there to warn off birds from flying through but entomologists are still debating this.
Finally I have proof of Texas tarantulas!
Above is my third encounter with a “wild” tarantula in Central Texas. Many friends, even around here think these arachnids (they’re not insects technically) don’t exist outside of deserts. Nope, they also prefer tall grass to hide in, then they … Continue reading
