I'm guessing that the judge knows enough to know how to dance on the line. It was phrased pretty hypothetically, and included Obama doing something treasonous in the premise.

HEY. You didn't think there was a direct heir to RLE here, huh, punk?

I was thinking the same thing about the title, but William S. Burroughs spelled it with a Y so I guess it's OK.

God, I hope so. I live a few hours from Lubbock and there isn't a single redeeming feature about that godforsaken, ignorance-caked hellhole.

I lived in Amarillo for a few years. I can verify this statement.

Why must you crush one man's dream of playing soldiers with life-sized toys and getting the idio--er, the people of his county to pay for it?

A pretty good Web site of big-boy army toys:

It's cute how hard they pretend that anyone would find actual paramilitary uses for this stuff. I will confess to owning a Fox Tactical Rio Grande backpack, but only because it's good for carrying groceries while bicycling; I'm more concerned about my bread getting squished than UN black helicopters.

Here's what they have to say about the, er, Tactical Hipster:

"Constructed of rugged tactical polyester. Key features include: Lining for water repliancy. Numerous pockets including cell phone and flashlight. Adjustable shoulder strap. Ideal for travel, Security, Police, and general civilian use."

TACTICAL polyester, as opposed to the other kind. And there's one more activity it's ideal for (and by the way, the bit about "general civilian use" is kind of adorable): dress-up when you're playing army with your friends.

These are the same people who were absolutely conviced that President Clinton had armies of Chinese soldiers in America waiting to help quell dissent when he passed the repressive policies he really wanted to.

And the people who stocked up on guns when Obama got elected since he was going to start passing gun control legislation.

...and who didn't suffer the tiniest ray of enlightenment when their brilliant predictions never came to pass.

And who never will.

And they're even more racist than Texans.

How exactly would the UN control America? And I find it hilarious that Obama is just going to GIVE them our country. As what, a donation? The fuck?

I've ment dozens of Texans and Koreans, stayed in their houses, went to their various churches, ate at their tables.

Texans are more racist BY FAR. So far that light from Korea hasn't even reached them yet.

memedumpster: I've seen enough "King of the Hill" to know that the only racists in Texas are minorities falsely accusing decent white folks of racism. Oh, and those awful Laotians. (While it's true Cotton Hill was a racist, he's dead, and now there are no more racists in Texas.)

You wouldn't happen to be one of those minorities looking to stir up trouble, would you?

As long as we're rolling out the anectotal evidence, I'll add that I've yet to meet an overtly racist Texan (although I've met some who were pretty unpleasant in other ways) but a Korean friend of mine got drunk one time and made a bunch of racist jokes about the Japanese (who were riding in the front seat at the time but didn't speak a word of English so they didn't know what he was saying, fortunately).

Hope that settles things.

yeah, pretty much all of East asia hates the Japanese, for, well, you know...

It seems that Texans have two flavors of racism (from when I was living there, at least):

The first is the straight-up "we-all's is white, an' everyone else is the mud people" kind, which seems confined to smaller, more rural areas. See Vidor, Texas for probably the most famous hotspot of people who would love to run a Sundown community.

The other kind is more of a blacks & whites vs. the hispanics thing. I was told by non-Mexican colleagues, "at least [insert race they didn't like here] are in this country legally."

Then there was just the general hatred of everyone from everywhere who isn't Texan, mostly directed at Oklahoma. That's not really racism, but more of a mental issue.

Well, surprise! He's a total racist:

Aren't these the same wingnuts that also contend that the UN Army is basically just the US Army in blue berets? I'm amazed this scare is still active.

To the kind of person who listens to & gravely accepts Alex Jones brand of lunacy, higher taxes are needed to keep the NWO/Illuminati goons from forcing your family into a slave labor camp.

Hopefully the drones are there to designate targets for B-52s.
