Ugh, tell me about it! Every time our state government lets up on one "vice" they have to crack down on two more to make up for it. And to think my ancestors braved wild Indians and aggressive spiders just to get away from that kind of garbage! Oh well, at least we can still enjoy our guns and transfats for the most part.
That is, at least until more bed-wetting Yankees move down here and demand that we adopt the same wimpy policies that turned their home states into socialist hellholes.
(Northern Freepers, please note that we only want to keep wussified Yankees out. If you are a Northerner who likes the idea of limited government, individual rights, and a healthy serving of barbecue then by all means come on down! We could use more like you. I've learned to appreciate bagels, seafood, and northern microbrews and I'm sure most of my Texican brethren will, too.)

At least they’re trying to bring gambling to all of Texas. (o{
