Damned Texans

Wow.  Even for Texas this is amazingly stupid.  Apparently the motto of the Texas Board of Education is "Keep 'em Stupid for Jesus."

Creationist who thinks Obama was a gay prostitute poised to join Texas Board of Education

Given the frequency of creationists getting busted with hookers and blow, I'm thinking this is probably wishful thinking on the asshole's part.

Contractors demolish Texas woman’s home by mistake — then say it’s ‘not a big deal’

The mistake came about because the demolition crew – employed by Billy L Nabors Demolition, a 50-year-old business based in nearby Seagoville, Texas – went to the wrong address. They were supposed to demolish another tornado-damaged house one block away, on Cousteau Drive.

“The incident is under investigation,” said an employee of Billy L Nabors Demolition reached by phone. The employee declined to comment further, but according to local ABC affiliate WFAA, the company CEO George Gomez said that the mistake was “not a big deal.”

People in Texas carry guns.  Just saying.

Apparently there is no idea so stupid that Texans won't jump on the bandwagon.

Texas Republicans will allow people to openly carry guns at its state convention

But guns are so harmless. They only carry bullets that are fired out of a barrel to kill someone. See, harmless.

My parents and I lived in Texas for a year and whoa nelly did I meet some "interesting" people there. Glad our stay was brief.

Yeah...guns don't kill people.  Bullets kill people.

Wasn't there some guy in China who slaughtered a bunch of kids with a knife the same day as Sandy Hook?

[Minimalist]

No.

Details are obviously still emerging, but it appears that perhaps nearly 20 people, including many young children, were murdered in cold blood today in Connecticut by a man wielding a semi-automatic gun of some sort.  
Initial reports are that many shots were fired.  The shooter is also apparently among the dead.
Meanwhile, eerily enough, in China today is a strikingly similar story.  Apparently a knife attack at a primary school in Henan province wounded 22 children and an adult.  The attacker is in custody. 

See..the wounded have a chance to recover.  The dead...not so much.

Apparently you have trouble with the difference?

No need to get angry on the internet, ma'am.
