Regarding the last line of this article: "And we' re as proud of Simone Biles as we are weary of dumbass Texas Republicans."
The last two words should be edited to — "Texans".
Absolutely not, Blackie. There are millions of fabulous texans. Saint Molly of Ivins for one, Prince William of Nelson for another.
It is true, V. The Lone Star State has produced some really great folks. Why, the musician bonanza alone is worth their statehood.
But I certainly understand Blackies' comment. It seems something happens to them when they leave Texas. Texans who don't own ski boots or an ATV and a rifle can be pretty nice. I think the elevation adversely affects them when they get here.
I had the advantage of living in Tejas on and off (my Mom moved there in the 70s.)
When you are in Texas, they are pretty normal…they just believe with all their heart that the greatest benefit available to a human being is to have been born in Texas.
I grew up in New Mexico, and can still remember the childish glee of learning that one of the Territorial Governors expressed an opinion of Texas …. one I liked so much, I memorized it and know it to this very day…
"Poor New Mexico. So far from Heaven, so close to Texas."
My favorite Texan joke: Why do they bury Texas 12 feet deep rather than six? Because deep down Texans are nice people.

Ken Paxton sets an extremely low bar for professional and personal behavior. His Deputy just proved that no matter how low you think the bar is, someone can always slither under it.
Wondering if the deputy is a relatively long-term employee, or if he is one of the ones replacing the seven high level employees who were whistleblowers last fall.
He is an absolute, complete, political hack. He graduated from law school in 2017, where he was the president of the Federalist Society. He clerked for a Texas Supreme Court Justice (also Federalist Society). He was recently promoted to Deputy Attorney General of Legal Strategy. Was probably on Trump's shortlist for the federal bench, if not the Supreme Court.
Classy, like everything out of the Texas AG's office
