This is Texas
Quote of the week from this Washington Post article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/15/AR2005081500146.html
"I ain't threatening nobody, and I ain't pointing a gun at nobody," Mattlage said. "This is Texas."
This is from the guy who fired a few shotgun shells in the air outside Cindy Sheehan's protest camp miles from the W Ranch in Crawford, Texas.
My passsionate and enthusiastic support for these heroic protestors aside for a moment, I have to stop to appreciate the simplicity of this statement. "This is Texas." Translation: We shoot guns in Texas, son, and that's just the way it is. Put your little tape recorder away and go back to your little rental car and get the hell on down the damn road before you step in front of the wrong rancher.
The whole godamn world feels like Texas since that 5-4 supreme court decision back in 2000. We ain't threatening nobody, we ain't pointing guns at nobody, and we sure as shit ain't gonna abide no pansy-ass proterstors who want to know why their sons are dead.

Damn Straight Tommy-
Too many people get their panties in a bunch about too much stuff. It is amazing that these people can even function with all the god damned complaining.
Keep fighting the good fight.
