UPDATE: Not like there was any doubt, but the Texas State Board of Education approved the changes to the social studies and history curriculum we listed here last week. Who needs facts when there’s ideology? [MSNBC]

Remember when America, and specifically, the United States, was mentioned by name, in the Bible, as the “chosen” nation? Yes you do, you liar. It was right there, in the Bible. Like, on page 8! Pfft. Whatever. It’ll be in the Texas school books sometime soon anyway, as proof. Cynthia Dunbar, Texas lawyer, wingnut, and [...]

XENOPHOBIA IS CONTAGIOUS: You thought Arizona was bad enough. Well, here comes the next wingnut, Republican Representative Debbie Riddle, who says she plans to introduce a similar “get-tough” immigration measure in Texas in the January legislative session. Because the federal government isn’t doing its job or some shit, not because this country is disgustingly discriminatory, [...]

THE BEST WAY TO CURB RANDOM GUN VIOLENCE IS TO GIVE EVERYBODY GUNS: Hey remember Texas? Haha yes you do! You just don’t want to. (But if they secede, you might not have to, so cross your fingers!) But they’re still ours for now, so … yes, Texas. A bill passed yesterday in their state [...]

‘I’LL STAND UP NEXT TO MOUNTAIN, AND CHOP IT DOWN, WITH THE EDGE OF MY HAND’: So said Jimi Hendrix then, and so says Barack Obama now. Yes yes it all makes sense. This was always the plan. Destroy the United States, with an iron, plundering fist. Because if you make the entire voting population [...]

There were these dumb Tea Party ‘events’ around the nation last week, that made some noise on the internets, and Fox News. Doomed and ignorant wingnuts trolled out of their homes to protest the very idea of TAXES. Taxes, that provide the financing for goods, infrastructure and social services. These taxes-thingies are terrible, and all [...]

A death row inmate in Texas challenged his jury sentence, claiming his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible during deliberations. Turns out, his God-loving, gun-clinging peers reviewed a biblical passage relating that a murderer who used an iron object to kill “shall surely be put to death.” You see, Khristian Oliver [...]
Misunderstood Texas Klansman Targeted In Reverse Hate Crime

William Teague’s Amarillo home was riddled with 9-millimeter bullets, likely because of the dual KKK and Confederate flags hanging on his front porch. Shit happens, right? But he says it’s undeserved, because he was never violent or threatening with anyone. He’s just your average everyday member of the Klan. “They may think it’s a threat, [...]

A diner at Salsa’s Mexican and Seafood Restaurant in Gavelston, Texas was arrested after using the word *fuck* a couple of times in public. More specifically, what he said to his female companion was, “I can’t believe you’re so fucking stupid. What the fuck were you thinking?” Legitimate inquiries, both. Well this caught the ear [...]
