Well, now they are gonna be drunk, obnoxious, and armed.

Campus Carry carried the Texas Senate 20 – 11.  Democrats unanimously voted against it.  It now goes to the Governor to sign.  I’m wondering if he’s going to sign it with little bullet hole fonts.

Here’s the catch:  private universities – where rich kids go – can opt out.  Yeah, they don’t have to do it.

I personally give it until mid November before “accidental shootings” start happening on campus with more regularity than term paper stealing.

Orin Kerr in the Washington Post this morning.

If I understand the history correctly, in the late 1990s, the President was impeached for lying about a sexual affair by a House of Representatives led by a man who was also then hiding a sexual affair, who was supposed to be replaced by another Congressman who stepped down when forced to reveal that he too was having a sexual affair, which led to the election of a new Speaker of the House who now has been indicted for lying about payments covering up his sexual contact with a boy.

Yikes.

Republicans beat us 3 to 1 on that deal.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

You know how Texas is facing the worst flood since Noah built an ark?

Well, hell, it’s because we’ve all gone Sodomite.  And we have witches.  Lotsa them.

She claims the Valley didn’t flood because they shut down all their abortion clinics.  Well, that there is some caca del toro.  The Valley did flood.

I personally think it was because God finally got around to Rick Perry’s wish list and just kinda went overboard because he figured he owed Rick some interest on that account.

Or El Nino.  I’m just saying.  Could be El Nino.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Get this —

Republicans in the Senate appear to have blocked a measure to outlaw texting while driving, saying the law would be unenforceable and infringes on personal liberties.

Yeah, but transvaginal ultrasounds don’t.

That just how we roll in Texas.

How about the seat belt law, speed limits, mandatory insurance, mandatory car seats for babies, state required auto inspections?  Liberty!  Dammit!  We need us some more liberty!

With Open Carry, Campus Carry, and even a new law with this little thing in it —

What’s called ‘Constitutional Carry’ in Texas was a sure thing to pass but because of the idiot amendment slipped in at the last minute forbidding police from requesting to see a gun owner’s license if they are open carrying a firearm, police chiefs are urging Gov. Greg Abbott to veto the legislation.

— all we need is the craziest man in Texas running stuff.

Kory Watkins, who appears to be unemployed and mildly hysterical, is a full time gun toter.  He stuck his foot in the office door of Texas House Representative Pancho Nevarez, a Democrat who opposes open carry, and threatened his life.  Hence, the #FootInDoor tag on his posts.

Now he’s not stopping at Poncho.

From his Facebook page —

Y’all, really.  When this session is over, I’m gonna so damned relieved that Republicans have to pack up their crazy and take it home with them.

Thanks to Heather for the heads up.
