I am very excited about the prospect that the Texas Board of Education will get it's way in re-writing textbooks for that state's children.
I don't agree with the revisionism nor the content changes the conservatives on the Board are pushing to "balance" what they perceive as liberal slant to history.
However, I get fairly jubilant at the social darwinian experiment these conservative idiots are attempting to perform on the large number of students in their state.
If these bozos weren't so ignorant of survival of the fittest as a mechanism for advancement, they would realize the severe handicap they are imposing on the children of Texas--all in the name of their political agendas. It's brains in action!
The upside?
The rest of the country's children gain an extreme advantage over those of Texas-educated children when it comes to college and real-world information.
It's great that Texas is willing to handicap their children for the purpose of advancing a political agenda.
The mere fact that such a bone-headed move will inure to the educational achievements of all children outside the state only adds to the hilarity.
Kudos to Texas for giving the children of non-Texans a boost at the expense on their own children
That's what I call Texas hospitality.

Excellent prank pulled off. Abby would be proud
Here's the latest on the kid with the LSD treats.
He didn't do it! It was all a prank.
Kudos two time to him for pulling it off--Abby Hoffman style.

Kids will be kids....
This story reminds me of Abby Hoffman and his threats to pour LSD into the water supply.
I find this hilarious, although I wouldn't give acid to someone without their knowledge...that's mean.
Kudos to the kid for his brass. He deserves his punishment. Hell, that's part of the prank.

DNA evidence frees another Texas inmate wrongly accused and convicted.
This case, as with many before, shows the problem with "Texas Justice".
Texas is known for executing people quickly. So quickly in fact that evidence gets ignored.
The only conclusion one can reach after examining "Texas Justice" is that they get off on punishing and killing people.
Texas seems to forget the guiding principle of American justice: "It's better to let a 100 guilty men go free than to wrongly punish an innocent man."
Texas is really a kind of legal bizarro world, where right is wrong and wrong is right.
