From Politco:
“How many more American citizens are going to have to die?” Perry asked.
The border state governor then turned to the chaos created by Mexico’s drug wars.
“There have been 34,000 Mexicans killed directly attributable to the drug wars. It is a very dangerous place,” he said.
Perry then pointed out that “Juarez is reported to be the most dangerous city in America.”
After an aide informed the governor of his mistake, Perry clarified that Juarez indeed belongs to Mexico, not Texas.
Clearly, This Is Progress
From the Texas Tribune’s coverage of Tyler, Texas’s birther representative, Leo Berman:
Though the Obama campaign produced a certificate of live birth from Hawaii, Mr. Berman was not swayed. “The latest rumor I hear, and I don’t know if this is true or not,” he said, “is that he’s used about 25 different Social Security numbers.”
Mr. Berman said he got his information from e-mail and online video clips. “YouTubes are infallible,” he said.
I remember watching people get worked up about the fact the first lady (Nancy Reagan) was so into astrology.
Today, we’ve got elected politicians with salaries paid by taxpayers who are treating an information source that contains 160,000 UFO sightings, almost 2,000 Jesus sightings and 291,000 9/11 conspiracy theory videos as “infallible”.
Hooray America!

The ax falls after a disastrous season for Texas’s offense. Now the million-dollar question: if you’re Mack, do you (a) bring in an outsider or (b) promote the guy you once benched in favor of Chris ‘me and my bro have matching tattoos’ Simms, Major Applewhite, to the O.C. spot?
5-7 Longhorns Could Still Get Bowl Invite
5-7 Longhorns Could Still Get Bowl Invite
As of the time I’m writing this, there are six 5-win teams that need to win one more game this year, or Texas (and their massive fanbase) is likely to get an invite to a bowl game, in spite of their painful 7-loss season. Behold the savage, greedy madness of a college football system with 35 bowl games and a whopping 70 slots to fill.
Having watched most Texas games this season, I can say confidently they don’t deserve to be anywhere near a bowl. But I don’t blame them for wanting the shot–the rules granting bowl teams an extra three weeks of practice make a bowl bid an invaluable part of the talent development process.
I just hate to think how inviting a 5-7 team could tarnish the good name of the uDrove Humanitarian, MAACO Las Vegas or Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowls.
