For some reason, news this week makes me think  Bubba woke up, screamed "Hey y'all!  Watch this!", cooked up a chicken-fried steak with a six pack, flew a Confederate flag from the pickup, headed to Walmart, and decided to be on the tee-vee.  There's a distinct regional flavor this time.

I say this from Texas...
When in doubt, ignore the moral judgments of anybody who engages in cannibalism.

There are now multiple states deliberately ignoring the school order.  The Fed needs to begin applying some pain or their order is meaningless.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker
