Well, rats!, they took it down. They took down the wonderful website boycotthouston.com and directed it to RepentAmarillo.com which is not near as much fun.
Okay, so maybe it is.
Here’s what you missed:
A new Web site is urging people to “Boycott Houston.”
Why? Because the site’s owner thinks the city is becoming “a Texas version of San Francisco” and “the abortion capital of America.” Translation: David Grisham of Amarillo doesn’t like Houston electing a gay mayor or Planned Parenthood’s plans to open a big facility here.
“If you were to do a poll 85 to 90 percent of people in Houston would say they were a Christian. Well how in the world could an openly homosexual mayor get elected?” Grisham asked during a brief interview, where he also said he has nothing personal against Parker.
So far, the boycott hasn’t gained much traction. A petition on the Web site in support of the boycott has been signed by just four people so far, including “Hugh Jass.”
Repent Amarillo is a lot of fun, but it isn’t as classy as BoycottHouston. David Grissom is the guy who tried to barbeque the Quran on a grill.
He started a petition to boycott Houston but only got 4 signatures – one of them being from Hugh Jass.
Maybe the fact that the Southern Baptist are coming to Houston for their annual meeting might be putting a damper on the whole boycott Houston thing. They do, however, appear to be very pissed off at the gays and Barack Obama.
That’s whats great about Christian love – it always has a loophole.
Oh, really!!!! Huge Ass?
1I had totally forgot about the Houston boycott. Guess that didn’t turn out so well. We grew by almost 140,000 people last year.
2And the other three names on the petition were I. P. Freely, Maya Normusbutt and Jacques Strap.
3Come on now, let us all promise to resist the temptation to dredge up to all of those juvenile, imaginary names.
Thank you,

4Since our mayor is in her second term, it took him long enough to notice our apparent descent into San Francisco culture. So who in Houston insulted the lil manchild for this hissy fit of his?
5I heard Peter Horney signed on. (Actually I knew a guy with that name – he was a nice guy in spite of it)
6Perhaps the problem is that plenty of Christians are willing to elect a qualified gay candidate.
It’s only Kristians who are so bigoted they won’t.
7Having spent some really raucous nights in Amarillo, I’d admire did they not repent all at once.
8Okay–I read his rant about pagans and witchcraft and got mad. The constitution of the United States (regretting not letting the South go personally–but all civilized countries would have had to war with them eventually to get rid of slavery) establishes freedom of religion and from religion. If he was misguided before he was “saved” (with his 3rd ex wife)
9thats fine. But interfering with others while they do their worship of season changes (most “Christian” practices overlay older seasonal rites) is wrong–their worship is none of his business. Pisses me (sorry, I’m just so angry!) off big time and makes me ask is there anyway to stop him? He’ll be petitioning to take people’s children (like they did to the American Indians) to “save” them into bigotry and prejudice so they are like him, scared and hateful–if his God is love how can he talk like that…ohh!
“If you were to do a poll 85 to 90 percent of people in Houston would say they were a Christian. Well how in the world could an openly homosexual mayor get elected?”
Aliens. Must be space aliens. Couldn’t be anything like… oh, not giving a fart about a mayor’s sexual orientation.
ErikaF, then I guess it must have been aliens twice.
10Uncle Dave: Sorry but the temptation is overwhelming. Here some people anxious to sign that petition:
11Al Koholik
Xavier Breath
Anita Bath
Ella Finoe
B. O’Problem
Gil T. Azell
Viola Fuss
Lois Steem
Menachem Down
Lotta B. Essen
Hugo Origo
That don’t make no never mind to me. I’ve been boycotting Texas since I took I-10 East over 10 years ago.
12@ Don A #12- Only 10 years. I guess I’ve been boycotting Texas since the Army in its infinite wisdom saw fit to send me to Ft.Hood upon my return to the world from my walking tour of the sun-and-fun capitol of southeast Asia.Was to Houston once during that spell in purgatory, didn’t lose a thing there so no reason to go back and look for it, or anything.Even in that antedeluvian age Houston was the absolute worst place to drive I’d ever been in, rest of Texas wasn’t much better though it did have less traffic.Soft spot forever for Austin.
13How about these authors:
14“Under the Grandstand” by C More Butts
“Fifty yard dash to the Outhouse” by Willie Makeit
“The Yellow River” by I P Freely
Well, I remember the Southern Baptists boycotting Disney… look at how well that one went over.
“I’m not a member of any organized religion, I’m a Baptist.”

Anyone else notice who he resembles with that mustache?
16Don’t forget two denizens of Tuna, Texas…Helen Bedd and Anita Goodwin.
The guy reminds me of someone, I just can’t place who.
17Houston must be an anomaly in Texas. It’s resided by intelligent people. NASA, partly based in Houston, does not hire rednecks. Nor do the many of the other corporate offices based in Houston.
