And the Super Walmart is only a couple hundred yards from the H-E-B. I'm with you. What the hell is this story about?

Indeed. I was asking myself why they would starve if they have a new Wal-Mart (with a supermarket IIRC) right there on Hwy 71.

Years and years ago, back when local tv stations were adding live remote trucks and couldn’t wait to show us anything that could be covered with a live remote, a small minority area north of Houston was having their gas service turned off (because every home in town owed the gas company money from unpaid bills) so the local tv crew had a live remote to show the horror and racism of cutting off a town’s gas service.

So the news crew shows up at the stereotypical black house in poverty with chipping paint and roaches flourishing and the reporterette wailed at how unfair it was that this house no longer had gas.

She turned to the woman of the house and asked emotionally on live tv, “What WILL you do now that you no longer have gas to cook with?”

“D’ass okeh!,” said the lady of the house. “I jess cooks wiff my new microwave oven.”

End of interview.
