But I did live in Texas for a couple of years back in the late 60s.
Late 60s! Holy carp! That was in the last century.
My nick is a riff on a certain incident involving ex-Vice Perpetrator Al "Weird Owl" Gore and his promise to a Texas couple to save the endangered Texas Eagle after they had written him a letter expressing how dependent they were on its survival as it was the only way they were able to travel to see their children.
Numbnuts was too stupid to figure out that The Texas Eagle is the name of an Amtrak train route that the eeeeeeevil Newt Gingrich had targeted for extinction and not one of God's winged creatures.
Cut Ol Numbnuts some slack, we could not have this conversation if he had not invented the internet!!
