Man, if only Texans were as passionate about high school football as they are about creationism… oh wait, nevermind..

Well, it looks like item #1 in Phil’s list need editing. It should say “did” instead of “can do”. Would Texas please just secede already.

But it now looks like they have so bastardized their curriculum as to put the countries educational system at risk. They are removing Thomas Jefferson from the curriculum, and inserting Calvin. They are trying to change our history to suit their world view, and it matters not what is the reality. With California nearly bankrupt, they have become the tail that wags the educational publishing dog. That is terrifying to contemplate.

i am soooo glad the sciences I teach in Odyssey are not biological… another victory for Texas, but with Rick Perry as Gov, he’ll just choose another religionist to run for the position and somehow keep it quiet that they are fundies.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

Great news from the Wide Open Spaces. This could be a serious hitch in the formation of the United State of Norris.

Great news. I just hope he was ousted because people found out what he was getting up to, not just random luck.

EJ, …the dog is always vigilalant, therefore, so must be the squirrel

Vigilance Dog: “Never shall a squirrel or democracy pass. Not on my watch”!

Good news, but . . . It looks like the dog is the vigilant one (I don’t even see a squirrel), so the caption makes little sense to me. Are we vigilant against the encroachment of democracies?

Is the dog a benevolent dictator? Is it vigilant against everything, both bad and good?

. . . maybe I’m over-thinking this . . .

YES! As both a citizen and a student of the Lone Star state, I am overjoyed in light of this news. It shocks me the level of ignorance and arrogance of politicians that reside in Austin. As Senator Mark Lunsford Pryor said ” You don’t have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate.” As you stated, surely this is by no means winning the ‘war’, but its a triumphant battle.
