Please, please, please can I bash Texas? Just a little. I mean, I have to live here. I own a home and have a permanent job. Shouldn't I be allowed to complain? Or is that something I can do only when their governor is a major contender for the GOP nomination. Why do state officials pull shit like this? Because they think no one in the state will say anything about it. Oh wait. I'm a Texan and I think this is majorly messed up. Now, if only a few thousand more like me would speak out, maybe we could get something done. Too bad that every time one of us says a word we will be shot down for "Texas bashing."

2. This should be illegal

if Texas is having such bad money problems that they can't feed their prisoners - then they need to let them go. since they won't do that - why not legalize marijuana and use the tax money which could then be collected to feed prisoners AND it would cut down on people in for marijuana. but the people who run Texas are ass-backwards assholes who don't really care about the people of Texas one damn bit.

4. TPTB stand to lose billions

5. I do not want to sound like a conspiracy nut...BUT...

I honestly think their are Republicans lurking around here looking to create divisions amongst us all & if so they are doing a good job so far.
