Texas: WAY COOLER THAN MINNESOTA AND OHIO

Fuck yes fireworks just got banned for the 4th in all of Harris County.

That, on the other hand, is cool.

At least Crispin Glover is coming to town to talk about his Oscar worthy performance as a serial killer in Rob's favorite film.

Bottle Rocket Fans' Attempt to Save Hillsboro Motel Now Part of Alamo's Rolling Roadshow

Pretty cool.

Unlike Billy's "idiots still exist" news (sorry Bill).

I'm not even going to link to it because fuck you Chronicle that's why, but the front page currently has a link to a blog about the religious right talking about a Miss America contestant is a "science geek" and "relishes studying evolution" and saying all of this like it is a bad thing and she is an idiot and shouldn't run for Miss America...

Weird. Who just leaves 300 lbs of that just chilling?

Ugh, this is directly across the street from my office. That place isn't the best, and it's very obviously used by people that can't find an apartment/home, or people getting nooners.

Guys I'm siding with the church.

Right on, bros.

Awesome. Also I quoted because I may need proof in the future that Billy agreed with a church.

[Captain Russ]

Right on, bros.

Guys I'm siding with the church.

Gov. Rick Perry’s upcoming prayer event has concerned progressive Christian leaders in Houston, who have written a letter criticizing the governor for excluding non-Christians, partnering with an anti-gay group and blurring boundaries between church and state.
“We ask that Rick Perry leave the ministry to us and refocus his energy on the work of governing our state,” the Houston Clergy Council wrote in a letter signed by 24 local leaders, many of them Unitarian Universalists or members of other denominations that welcome GLBT Christians.

A passport from another country is a legal form of ID as well. At least it is at a bank. I used to open up accounts for foreigners (especially Indians) all the time, and they'd use their passports, work visas, international driver's licenses...you get the idea.

Redneck bouncers in downtown Austin?

Did you read Billy's linked article, bro?

The last time the Honky Tonk Man stood in front of the door was back when my moms and pops were at university.

Nowadays, they're a bunch of vokka-swillin' mooks, imported from the fucking shore.

Nice.

Calm down, Queer as Folk.
