a pig by any other name...

let's just say everything didn't go exactly as planned and leave it at that.

greetings once again, my l'il puercitos, from sunny southern california. what, might you ask, has brought this tired old pig out of virtual (pardon the pun) retirement? what silly bit of nonsense could possibly stir me outta my self-induced drunken repose to snort at you once again?

why, this, of course.

as longtime readers of this meaningless little corner of the internet i call my own will surely understand, it comes as no particular surprise to this humble typist that such absurdity could happen in texas - political home of such common sense stalwarts as lyndon johnson, pere bush and his cocaine-addled trainwreck of a son... i guess it just kinda happens in a state where blatant stupidity seems to be not only applauded but encouraged and labeled as good ole fashioned 'merican "family values".

so... vote 'em outta the union or somethin'... (yes, texas, there's a great big country out there who doesn't really think that drive-thru liquor stores, two gunracks in every pickup and 20 years for oral sodomy are necessarily good ideas)
