Picking on Willie Nelson?

Tell me again why liberals are supposed to be the elitists?

AUSTIN, Texas - Willie Nelson's name is off the road again.

A state legislator had proposed naming a 49-mile stretch of Texas Highway 130 being built around Austin in honor of the Texas country music singer.

But two Republican senators, Steve Odgen of Bryan and Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio, said they didn't want Nelson's name on the road that crosses their districts, citing the musician's fondness for drinking and smoking, and active campaigning for Democratic candidates.

Willie Nelson, along with drinking and smoking, are on the naughty list in Republicanland. You can add those to the pile, alongside blow jobs, the birth control pill, "The Daily Show", and non-Christian (aka, good) rock bands. And it looks like they can't even pretend to embrace "South Park" anymore. Once you get to the bottom of the list of verboten pleasures, the only ways to get your jollies left are getting whipped by a $1,000 an hour dominatrix and polishing your yacht. Who are the elitists supposed to be again?

IMPLODING RIGHT WING?

A site for cross-posting and posting original stories from around Texas that reveal the character of the Texas right wing. So much dirt. Such a big state.

This site brings Texas bloggers together to keep an eye on the actions of Texas right-wingers. Yes, friends. The radical conservative Republican politicians and activists who rule this state assume that nobody is watching.

They are hoping that nobody remembers Sen. John Cornyn's statements justifying violence against judges or Majority Leader Tom DeLay's zealous intervention into a private family dispute that spawned a media circus. Or Congressman Sam Johnson's intimation that he could personally nuke Syria. Or that Kay Bailey Hutchison has hired one of the "swift boat" smear architects for her gubernatorial campaign. Or that Republican corruption in the Dallas County Police Department has contributed to outrageous crime rates. Or the actions and stunts of the Young Conservatives of Texas on college campuses all across the state.

Well, they have had over ten years to lead. They haven't led. We will.

"Adios, MoFo."
