guys like this douchebag have security details...hell...they have a security detail for the mayor of my little dumb city. So this begs the question Why Texans So Afraid?

The plane was going to Auckland. It landed safely. I was one of the passengers.

...where they tend to take their guns off their belts around time to assume a wide stance. (note that these cases were not actual legislators, but professional police types hired to protect the lege)

With all the gunz, why is it that downtown Dallas, downtown Ft. Worth, and downtown Houston are essentially closed after 6:00 pm except for the odd convention attendee who wasn't advised of the rules? Coming from a smaller big city do truly find this very strange.

Back in the '60s, MAD had a field day with the plane hijackings. Like a dedicated service to Havana: "Fly you friendly spies!"

Also a suggestion to lock up each passenger in a bulletproof cubicle.Stewardess: "Coffee, tea, or oxygen?"Passenger" "I gotta use the men's room!"

Amen. Based on the beatings I got, I'm sure I would be dead if they had been packing more than yardsticks.

The best part about being sent to a Walmart FEMA camp for a gun violation is that they sell guns there.

When I first moved here that was definitely true. There were no apartments downtown and no restaurants that stayed open (except a few hotels). After a concert at the Meyerson Symphony Center (which was the only real performance venue downtown) there was no place that you could walk to with friends to have a drink. It is a bit better now because there are many condos/apartments in the downtown core and the Meyerson has been joined by an opera house/venue and 5(?) other venues for performances and events. Klyde Warren Park is in continuous use (it was built over the 75 freeway that goes thru downtown Dallas) by adults, children, and dogs. The problem that remains is that these kind of downtowns (built in the 70'sm 80's and on) were not created with the idea that people would be walking around (like in NYC). Like LA, Dallas (and Houston) are car based and it is still anathema for most people to think of walking to...well, anywhere. (There is a Whole Foods being built within walking distance of the Arts District...that is how many people live in the core of downtown now). But there is still no restaurant yet built that you can walk to from the Arts District after an event that is open till midnight.

I think that if we took a poll we'd find a majority of Americans would approve of the FEMA camps if we could ship these conservative asshats to them.
