Good point. On the other hand, the largest city in the country with a LGBT mayor is Houston.
I groaned and died a little inside, is that how love feels? 
And yeah, when we elect a dumbfuck, we elect a big one. Sometimes they’re super durable as well. I’m still wondering when Rick Perry will finally do something so dumb even Texas will finally forsake him. Sadly, this gem shows that the field is deep and varied.
This just in.
Fourth-grade kid in Texas elementary school suspended for saying he has the One Ring of Power and can make another student “disappear”. Called a “terrorist threat” by principal.
Same kid had two previous suspensions: For calling a black child “black” and for bringing a book to school that had a picture (or illustration?) of a pregnant woman.
Texas boy suspended for saying he could make classmate ‘disappear’ with ‘Lord of the Rings’ sorcery
That’s insane.
Everyone knows you need a wand from Ollivanders.
Kids probably a smart-ass. Kids gotta learn not to be a smart-ass. Takes some a long time.
And how often were you suspended, luci?
About all I really remember about childhood was an intense desire for it to be over.

Yup. The Stars and Bars.
Didn’t last the month. They took it down pretty fast.
To be slightly fair, the town council vote to put it up in the first place was contentious. But to actually be fair, the fact it was considered and approved by majority at all in the 21st century is all kinds of messed up.
I’m not even there and I miss them.
Legend has it that Anne Richards was having a conversation with Molly about then-recent charges that Ms Richards had smoked the Weed With Roots in Hell. Anne had already been totally upfront about being a recovering alcoholic and found the problem perplexing.
Molly said “Just say that you were too drunk to remember.”
May not be true. Don’t much care.
Missed one.
Well, that kinda presents a paradox . . .
The Doug Ford defence?!
In areas of civic concern and politics, its a necessity, an obligation. I would do it even if it weren’t so damn much fun.
Man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, wacka do, wacka do…
U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) is on a tear about Texas too.
