I Don't Mean to Rag on You Texas, But WTF?

While wasting some time this morning, I came across this story on CNN. The basic premise here is that some Texas lawmakers got upset when the University of Texas at Tyler, and this is my favorite part, started offering free condoms to its students at the student health center. You gotta be kidding me. What century is this?

Here's my favorite quote, "I had no idea (that the school was offering free condoms) and I'd imagine most parents don't know either," said Senator Eltife. "I can assure you there are a lot of parents whose kids are going there who would probably not be happy about what they're doing."

Parents not happy that their kids are using condoms? That's a new one. I mean no one is moronic enough to still believe that kids are waiting till the get married to be sexually active are they? Oh wait, this is Texas we're talking about here...

PS- Matt, I know Texas is you home state and I'm sorry, but, seriously, come on...

One Example in the Long List of Tightness Needed in Texas

A crowd gathered at an annual Austin, Texas festival recently assaulted and beat a man to death who was a passenger in a car that minorly injured a girl by hitting her at low speed. According to reports, David Morales, the passenger, got out of the car to check on the little girl when he was set upon by a few dozen festival goers and eventually died at a local hospital of blunt force trauma. Come on. I mean really. I expect this sort of thing out of Pakistanis or Somalis, but Texans? Not only did they beat a guy to death on the streets, they beat the WRONG guy to death. He wasn't even the one that hit the girl, who, by the way, was totally fine and released from the hospital a few hours after the incident. So, in honor of our recent 100th tighten up, I am giving a double scolding to the festival attendees in Austin. Tighten Up and Calm the F*$k Down!

As an aside to all our readers not from the US, Texans are totally crazy and the only reason I am posting this is because I am far too afraid to say something like this to a real live Texan. Seriously, they are nuts. Oh, and they're armed. Crazy and armed. Don't say I didn't warn you. Aside from that Austin really is a fun place to visit...
