That’s your reply? “Fuck yankees and liberals” and a link to some bland country song? For God’s sake man, if you’re going to tell us non-Texans to fuck off, at least include a link to a better song.
My anscestors put too much effort into avoiding Oklahoma.
Looking at Australia, if I can find a company that will hire me. Freelance music journalist isn’t on thier list of skills for an expidited visa.
I own too many guns to be a liberal. I just am one of those rare Texans that actually doesn’t think that ignorance is a badge of honor.
You misspelled “South Carolina.” That is the state to bash.
I nominate Kansas. Our enlightened and deluded citizens elected Brownback as governor. Willingly. Plus, even though he’s a fruit loop and not actually representative of the Kansans I know…Fred Phelps was somehow spawned here. And this isn’t even mentioning our State Board of Education.
Hey! This is about Texas, stop trying to blame Florida unless you want to to bring California into this, too. Talk about crazy!
Australia is the Texas of the Pacific.
There are three basic variety of animals in Australia: animals that will kill you and eat you, animals that will just kill you, and cute. The cute animals are dangerous when drunk which is mostly.
Do they have the Tea Party there? I’d take dangerous animals over teaparty any day.
They’re basically less prissy Brits, so they probably drink a lot of tea … but in a more manly way, like with dingo milk in it or something.
Oh god yes. If I ever drive down from Minnesota to Mexico again I’m going to avoid Oklahoma. That state remains the only place I’ve ever had cop cars surround my car and do that swerve thing as they slam to a stop to make sure we, the dangerous criminals, don’t escape…
Because two twenty year old Minnesotans trying to get the hang of stick shift in an empty parking lot are so dangerous…
Fark.com specializes in compiling a list of crazy, idiotic, and retarded news story from around the world and Florida is the only state with its own tag. It gets used about as much as categories that encompass the rest of the world combined so they knew what they were doing when they moved Florida into its own category. It cracks me up to see the little Florida label sitting beside a ridiculous news story like the whole thing is self-explanatory. Texas doesn’t even get its own despite having a larger population.
Texas is kind of stuck, geographic-wise. Can’t get any further from Florida without getting closer to California.
Oklahoma is the worst in everything, imho. Having just read about this further strengthens my vitriol towards OK. Executing inmates with an animal anesthetic?! Instead of waiting about two months for the approved-for-human-use and more effective drug? Beat that for scummy State actions! :eek:
Well, they were killing them anyway, what’s the worst the veterinary drug could do, kill them?
Veterinary drugs do have standards for preparation. It’s like they just mix them in an old pot in a barn.
Kentucky has you outdone in the stupid department. They just don’t get the publicity.
You made me laugh so hard I snorted. 
This.
And what wacky legislation might that be? Let’s take a look at some of the pre-filings.
Two of the bills would require Texas voters to show photo identification before casting a ballot.
One bill would allow the open sale of raw milk at places such as fairs, farmer’s markets etc.
One bill would limit the use of public funds to print certain public documents in a language other than English.
One bill was requested by the Hunt County commissioner’s court and would give them the right to establish a Hunt County Municipal Utility District.
One nill allows police to check the immigration status of anyone suspected of being in the country illegally.
One bill would prohibit the state government from funding abortions or abortion-related services.
One bill would require an election before certain municipalities are allowed to annex adjacent territory.
One bill makes illegal s a substance known chemically as JWH-018 –more commonly known as K2 or synthetic marijuana or synthetic cannabis (evidently also known by the very classy names of Hush and Swerve)
One bill would abolish the Texas Transportation Commission and make the Transportation Commissioner an elected official.
One bill prohibits a retail electric provider from disconnecting a customer’s electricity on a Friday, holiday, the day before a holiday, or any day after 3 p.m.
One bill adds county jailers and detention officers to statutory language relating to allowing police and firefighters to organize and bargain collectively.
One bill adds tire deflation devices to the list of items that it is illegal to possess, manufacture, or sell as a prohibited weapon.
One bill creates a law school in the Rio Grande Valley.
One bill requires schools to establish the legal status of students.
One bill adds a second-conviction enhancement to the offense of selling alcohol to a minor.
One bill would require a Criminal Justice Policy Impact Statement (similar to a Fiscal Note) for every bill which would change the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of a felony.
Yup, real wacky stuff here.
Depends, I suppose, if you mean “wacky” like cheerful, oddball humor, then definitely not. Texas legislators affect a sombre gravity that might be admired by Jehovah. Post-modernist irony is largely unknown in Texas.
But if you mean “wacky” like unhinged, deranged and irrational, yeah. And there’s nothing “wacky” about punitive, mean-spirited, and stingy. This “English only” crap and local enforcement of immigration law is particularly obnoxious in a Texas that is and always has been largely Hispanic. IT would be like if Germany hadn’t lost the war, and insisted that all documents in Paris be published in German.
Not as crazy as the Republican Party Platform for any given election year. Not that there is some down-home, pure-D, genuine crazy!
Home, home on de ranged
Where rabid Republicans prey
Where seldom is heard
An intelligent word
And the only place to go is awaaaaaaay…
Well, at least you went through it vertically. My grandmother lived in western Arkansas, so at least once a year we’d drive the entire length of it along I-40. Where we were in Texas, it worked out about the same if we went up to Amarillo then across or over to Wichita Falls, up to OK City and then hang a right. Either way, it was a lot of Oklahoma. As much as I dislike Texas, I’ve always thought I’d slit my wrists if I had to live in Oklahoma.
