This made me laugh so hard that I almost peed my pants. Unfortunately, by the time I realized that I wasn’t going to actually pee my pants, I had already mostly removed my pants and all of my belt, which is not the sort of thing they are inclined to tolerate at The Wiz. So, thanks for nothing kylen. ---

Less painful than thinking a mass vomiting would win credibility for your position, that’s for sure… 😃 ---

Ya know, Texas is almost 98% behind Bush. The 2% not behind him all live in Houston. ---

Ok ok so I was being a little too broad in my sweeping generalization. But the vast vocal and silent majority of texas are behind Bush in everything. You should hear some of the odd things on the radio about the war. Think about how many big antiwar protests there have been in texas. ---

Not surprising since they can probably legally kill the protesters. What? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stand-up-for-yourselves-people/165532.md?page=1)
