"You know, a cynical person might get the impression that Texas Republicans worry that if they had to face ALL the voters, they might not be carried to reelection on the sterling brilliance of their ideas."

EXACTLY.

Fartsacks, aren't they those the things that college douchebros used to (still do?) stand around in a circle kicking to each other? Apt description for Hughes.

Probably be easier for me to do that than for you to act like a mature, grown adult, so sure. Roger wilco on that.

I agree with this. Not even a contest. I am an incredibly rude asshole. I stay up long winter nights grieving over my poor manners and judgmental behaviors.

But at least I cop to them. What's your excuse?

You have an impolite day now.

Perfect! set up places maybe a block or two away from the poling place, maybe lemonade stands, where people can get a cup of lemonade and say to each other "Well, I'll be, lookee there! A polling place! Think I'll mosey over -- legally and on foot -- and vote, after I thank Pastor Jeff for the ride to this lemonade stand!"

Now I know you're lying, I'm an ugly ol' shit who's never had a pretty day in his life!

Mirror manufacturers filed a class action suit against my face one time!

Baby rats run screaming at the sight of me!

I'm so ugly I replaced my avi with a photo of a rotting pomegranate and NOBODY NOTICED FOR FIVE YEARS.

...what else you got?

Damn! You witnessed the days of decency and era of ethics in Texas. I imagine that that makes all of this filthy seditious corruption ever more bitter to endure.

I'm just an astronaut with antlers and the face of a rotten pomegranate, I wouldn't know about such things.
