Reading that made my stomach sick.

Especially the link to his blog where he repeatedly tries to justify his article.

Most excellent letter, my dear tbw2.

YOU should be named 2007 "Texan of the Year".

Thanks for that link. You're right....they just twist themselves into more contortions.

I realize it's just an attention-getting device. Funny how these people never pick a controversial conservative (say Ann Coulter) as their "person of the year," and then justify it by saying, "well, it's for better or worse."

I heard it was safer to travel Texas in a rental car than your own.
