A mind may be a terrible thing to waste, but if you waste 15 million of them, apparently you get Texas.
That was Keith Olbermann tonight, doing his best to collectively piss off the biggest state in the contiguous U.S. after a recent poll showed that 60 percent of those polled in the cowboy state believe that humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, or werent sure.
Were not really sure what Olbermanns goal here is except to rile up a bunch of people he even admits that he wishes there was a political association he could pin this on, but then goes on to spout numbers of Democrats versus Republicans who go to church.
Which is a little misleading
theres no data saying that everyone who answered stupidly (i.e. not believing in evolution, or unsure) had strong religious beliefs one way or another.

Thank you! :)
SpongeBob: Hey Patrick, guess what I am!
Patrick: Um, stupid?
SpongeBob: No, I'm Texas!
Patrick:What's the difference?
(I'm a Texan, but even I got a big laugh from that Spongebob episode)
Yep! It does! ;-) Heh!
Overdick aside, if true, 60% is pretty scary.
Naw.... we don’t pay too much attention to these kind of pricks. He is Nobamas lover girl.
That would be a sloppy a$$ to kick, if you know what I mean.
60%? Thats a little more than the proportion of voters who elected Obama. So no, I am not surprised.
I figured it was the flaming lib in him. I bet the head injury is just a minor part of his overall mental health condition...
Sorry that happened to him, but I can’t help but saying - HOW STUPID IS THAT!!!???
No doubt. One shot in the head, and he would bawl like a girl.
I LOVE Sandy. She reminds me of myself. Southerner.....does karate....common sense.....;-)
LOL!
So, in one sense, humans walked the earth at the same time "dinosaurs" did. Texans are smart.
Wish I was back in Texas,
The ocean’s no place for a squirrel,
Wish I was in Texas,
Prettiest place in the world, oh no.
I guess deep in my heart I’ll always be a Texas girl
I wanna go hommmme hooommmmmme hommme oh oh
Yoldle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, a lay-ee, a lay-ee.
I wanna wake up in Texas
I miss those wide open skies.
I miss my 20 acres, bar-b-ques,
And peacan pies, oh why?
When I’m so far from you, Texas, all I can do-o is cry.
I wanna go ho-oome,
Ho-oome, (a guy)I wanna go ho-ome!
I was just going to post that. (nice touch with Junior Brown singing the final 'I want to go home.')
har har! point noted.
i'm back in ohio, so i have lost all animosity towards texans, new mexicans, okkies, or californicators.
i just enjoy watching the grass grow, the paint dry, and the seeds turn into plants. ;)
“Where are my damn packets of ketchup? Don’t you know who I am?!”
And more people read about it on this thread than the actual number of Texans who tune in to his little cable access show. Party on Garth.
I started to say 1/2 the wimmens in Texas could whup OBeaks arse but it occured to me that EVERY grandma could too
Glad that you are enjoying life up there in “yankee land”.
I’m a 7th generation Texan—born here, and plan to die here. We had to do some moving around when my husband would get transferred with his job, but he’s retired now, so we’re back home. (Actually, he’s an Okie—but he swears he got here as fast as he could—LOL!)
