Welcome to Texas. Slow Down at Your Own Risk.
My friend Joy went up to Hempstead, Texas, this weekend. That’s a city dangerously close to Houston and to me. She was headed to a famous place called, seriously, Peckerwood Garden. Before you make a comment about that, remember that Momma is watching.
On the way there, she passed the Pattison Area Volunteer Fire Department and out front was this sign.

The flag on top is The Gadsden flag. It wouldn’t stay still long enough for her to get a proper picture.
Joy figured that the sheep and goat thing at the bottom is probably correct. Sheep follow along behind anybody without question. Goats are mean things and have been known to traumatize people. (And if you don’t click that last link, you’re missing something very cool.)
Yes, yes, I know the sheep and goat thing comes from Matthew 25 and is meant as a stab at people who aren’t Super DeLux Brand Christians. But, if that’s what they mean, they are so screwed up because the Good Book says that those on the right will be told —
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Now when the hell has a Republican ever done that? No, seriously, tell me when.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Now you wanna tell me where it says to cut health care, arm everybody with assault weapons, hate gay people, deny public education, or cut veteran’s benefits or Medicare?
Show me that part, you asinine sheep.
Thanks to Joy for the picture and the heads up.
