Blue counties in Texas: Travis (Austin), Dallas, Harris (Houston, went for Obama BARELY in 2012), most of the counties along the Rio Grande River and down in the Valley (South Texas), El Paso.

The problem is turnout. In 2012, 50% of the eligible voters showed up for the presidential. As then-Mayor, now-HUD Secretary…

I early voted today. My wallet was stolen a week ago, so I took my passport with me to comply with our racist as hell voter I'd requirements. Also, my address has changed, which I changed on my registration, but he new one was not on the poll role, my old address, in the same precinct, was listed. Their poorly…

Leti is a goddamn national treasure and this is a travesty.

I've never voted for a Republican in all the years I've been here. (I'd vote for a yellow dog first) Still not much hope of keeping this maniac from getting into office, in spite of the Dallas Morning News (a conserva-rag) describing voting for him like setting a fire in your own house.

Gerrymandering has absolutely nothing to do with the Lt. Guv race. Voter turnout does.

Oh please, they have taken poll after poll and and less than 1 in 5 people (the craziest of the crazy) actually want Texas to secede. It will *never* happen. Sorry. At this point it's more a dream of left wingers outside the state than anyone inside it.

The Lieutenant Governor is usually like a state version of the Vice President. In our case, he or she is basically the successor to our Republic Vice President. However, in Texas, our executive positions are EXTREMELY powerful, in part, because our assembly is part-time. In Texas we view serving in the legislature as…

Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio all poll majority Dem, too, you know... Austin is not ACTUALLY the only speck of blue in this red state.

In the state of Texas, per the state constitution, the lieutenant governor wields more power than the actual governor. It's stupid and terrifying.

Ever since I was a kid, I always heard that it was illegal to remove a mattress tag. Turns out that's totally not true. I'm not sure where or why this myth got started, but it seems like it's mostly based on poor wording. Mental Floss explains:

Okay, here's my super sexy move, where I SPIT ALL OVER YOUZ! O.O

Every time there's one of these stories (which happens more than you'd think) I always think of the sad story the girl in Gremlins tells about how they thought her Dad abandoned them but really he got stuck in the chimney pretending to be Santa and died there.

So, I saw this headline this morning, and it was in Thousand Oaks where I grew up. Not gonna lie, I clicked it just to make sure it wasn't my stepmother.

Everyone currently alive will die someday, and so FREE WILL, lets just not bother having hospitals at all, after all, it's ultimately their fault right? FREE WILL! Is that you flogged corpse of Ayn Rand? And you don't care to argue because you're argument makes no fucking sense?

Actually, she probably won't die. Of all of the Ebola patients treated in the US so far, only one has died - the gentleman in TX. Since she's been transferred to Emory, which has successfully treated and released 2 ebola patients (with our third being discharged later this week), I'd say her chances of survival are…

If Vinson was a cop who got injured while on the job following protocol in a situation where their superior gave them the go ahead, they would be getting a park named after them and the media would be calling them America's greatest fucking hero. And you want her to lose her license to practice?

I never read it, but did you ever pick up the racy updates to the Nancy Drew series? At one point she makes out with somebody who isn't Ned on a couch and I was SCANDALIZED.

Shannon was Kristy's neighbor at Watson's house. She was super rich and went to a fancy rich private school. At first Kristy didn't like her because she thought she was a huge snob, but THEN they became FRIENDS! She was an "alternate" member of the BSB (along with Logan), who filled in when everyone else was busy.

But we do all remember that they/reddit actually just did this to dozens of other women in the past weeks, right?

I'll bet my mortgage payment that he's a regular on 4chan.
