I once witnesses a man get several of his front teeth knocked-out in a Texas truck stop just for saying that the words "flammable" and "inflammable" meant the same thing - that they weren't opposites. I overheard the policeman who responded to emergency call tell the ambulance driver "Well, that's whut he gits fer spreadin' lies lack dat."
In Texas, the right-wingers aren't happy just being defiantly, ignorantly and aggressively wrong, they want to beat-up anyone who seems like they might be right.
Of course, this fact has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the severely down-graded state of our once-great nation as it is right now. I mean, how could it?
Want to stop a Texas Republican from doing something "ignert"? Hand him a bag of pretzels as he's on the way out the door to go hunting with Dick Cheney.
I'm just SAYIN' that all I'm sayin' is that's all I'm saying ...if ya' know what I'm sayin'. (Know what I'm sayin'?)
