Roger T. Gray - Texas Outlaw Writers (Page 4)

What were you thinking?

When you don't just shoot yourself in the foot, but take an M-16 to it.

That Was the Week That Was

In his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter claimed he had “no recollection of our encounter.” That recollection was no doubt clouded by a Vesuvius of Peruvian Marching Powder.

If Barbie married Jason Aldean.

If they got married? The whining would never end.

"The only helping hand you'll ever get is when they lower the box" - Larry McMurtry

We consider now a couple of Supreme Court decisions that show the milk of human kindness has curdled.

The Biden Ultimatum

...or is it "The Biden Identity" or "The Biden Supremacy" or "The Biden Whatever"?

We'll clear some stuff up, but you'll need to pay attention.

Fanfare for a Common Man

Yeah, Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer. Perhaps he wasn't the greatest president to hold the office, but nowhere near the worst. And importantly, a decency we don't see much anymore.

Bozos At The Gates

The barbarians at the gates have been replaced by sillier but scarier buffoons.

Aaron Sorkin For President

Millions of Americans have mistaken notions about our history, our Constitution and the simple, observable state of our country. It isn't a disaster, though politicians would like you to believe that. There are real problems though, that are tough to tackle and require a joint effort.

Whatever He's For, I'm Against

Slow Motion Secession

What kind of world is it when the coach of an NBA team has more courage to speak the truth than the governor of our state?

Economy

The Debt Ceiling Dance (No Twerking, Marj)

From the time George Washington raised his right hand and swore to support the Constitution and get better dentures, until right now, the country has been in hock. After getting us out of debt, Old Hickory could concentrate on his benevolent treatment of Native-Americans - like the Trail of Tears.

There is a way to prevent this and we know what it is. And if anyone cared to read the Constitution beyond the 2nd Amendment, they'd see that we have gotten it all wrong for years.
