Hi Texans!

I’m from New York and with this news, I’m thinking of coming down. I don’t expect much, just free health-care, some food stamps, and monthly disability payments for my wife and her mom and mom’s live-in boyfriend (at least when he isn’t in jail). Also, I can get a free cell phone from the state too!

You brought your woes upon yourself so wallow in your own mess.

We want to keep that clean smell.

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!

No, but I Googled it:

He probably didn't mean Houston in the summer.

No doubt.

I live SW of Houston.

Sometimes it gets so hot, that I’ve see 2 trees fighting over a dog.

I Understand, U of H Heisman candidate QB and his back-up are knocked out for the year in the same game and the Coogs go 5-7. Tough year.

I agree. Remember what happened when we so nicely ‘housed’ thousands of refugees from New Orleans after Katrina?

I can still remember sitting at an outdoor restaurant and seeing men in top hats and polka dot suits prancing down the center of the boulevard........and singing too, mind you!!

BIZARRO !!

I’m not a big sports fan. Used to watch all the Texas-Aggie games but no longer do.

Sad about the Quarterback losing his chance at the Heisman but that’s sports for you.

Like another song - You Gotta Know When to Hold Em, Know When To Fold Em....etc.

Whoops, I meandered into Texas Hold Em!! lolol

Just dump the RINO’s in TX like Kay Bailey, Cornyn and Rick Perry.

Well, we'll have Perry around for awhile yet - we just re-elected him. Corny and Kaye are up for re-election to the Senate in '12, though. I think they'll both be retired. Most Texas Republicans I talk to have had it with those two.
