In the 1960's,

there used to be a poster that said, 'Chastity is it's own punishment'. As Texas careens toward record heat and drought, while it's 'journalists' (bloggers) and candidates continue to prove their ignorance, while denying global warming. I would suggest that poster be reborn, replacing 'chastity' with 'living in Texas'. And you wonder why property is cheap, there? They are notoriously and consistently at or near the bottom of all states when it comes to money spent on education. Could the results be more obvious? There's a reason you don't have to pay much if you want to drive a used Yugo, or want to buy a house in Texas. (That being said, I have worked with many Texans, over the years, who are 'salt of the earth' people. Intelligent, hard working and compassionate. They just seem to be in the minority, in my experience.) Bottom line, only Texans could inflict a GWBush, followed by a Rick Perry, on the country.

Over the years, I have lived in TX, many times, because there was usually money to be made after some kind of disaster. I have been 'up close and personal' with Texans and TX law enforcement and have seen what kind of police dept you get when it is not nec to have a high school diploma to become a police officer. YES, it's true. I've seen them in action on the ski slopes of Colo and in tour groups in Europe, as they have a totally undeserved superiority complex, and they perpetuate the 'ugly American' syndrome. AND, I've seen what GWBush did to us and now there's Rick Perry. SO, my prejudice is well earned, over many years and situations.

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

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...

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...
