Goodbye Texas

This should be the last darn straw. Really!Texas has gone completely wackadoo.

As part of the process a Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills review team composed of parents and teachers has suggested removing Neil Armstrong from a "science strand" in a 5th grade social studies book.

Why?

The team said they made this proposal because he was not a scientist.

Eh? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Texass! What are you thinking? Aside the obviously answer of "Nothing, nothing at all."

Texass Football

What is with all the prima donna Texass football alumni in the NFL?

Cases in point:
1. Vince Young - Obviously doesn't mind the money, but can't handle the criticism. Wants to retire after 2 and 1/16th seasons.

2. Cedric Benson - Drunken boating and resisting arrest. Nevermind the fact that, for a first round draft pick, in his career he never rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season.

3. Ricky Williams - Come on, do I have to outline the issues with Ricky Williams? All the potential in the world, major head case. Four violations of the NFL drug policy.

That's 3 first rounders, 3 head cases. They sure know how to pick 'em in Texass.
