For the most part, and for MANY reasons,

I really don't like most Texans, (although I have met many that I DO like), after living and working there many times during my life, and enduring the national disaster of a Texan in the White House. Most, though not all, are ignorant egotists, whose claim to fame and prosperity is living on a vast wasteland with oil beneath it. As I said though, they're not ALL bad/stupid, as this letter to the editor in this morning's Denver Post shows, concerning lawsuits from neighboring states, who are making a fortune, fining travelers.

As a former Texas police officer, I never saw marijuana cause any problems or disturbances. Alcohol continues to cause violence, death and destruction. The political ambitions and mean-spirited reactions against the freedom enacted in Colorado shows the heart of those who demand control of others.
May your state continue to support freedom and the will of the people, regardless of the outspoken Neanderthals in the surrounding states. In the pursuit of happiness, I will visit this spring and spend my vacation dollars there.

Wow, a voice of reason, from Texas. I'm shocked....

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
