Hey, I could be reading slate.com but I’m here.

pure junk

I also like LOL cats, teh internet has gots gobs and gobs o’ junk so there’s something for all smarts and stupids alike. Like when you go to the party and there’s a veggie platter and right next to it there’s deep fried cheeze sticks, people still eat all the cheese sticks first.

Am I looking in a toilet? Because that looks like a pile of crap to me.

On behalf of my ‘Red State’, with all our ‘inelegance”, fuck you.

While I don’t share the exact sentiment of k.shaw, I do think it’s really rude of you to keep alluding to Texans as being total idiot assholes. So not nice, not nice at all.

Oh, come on, k.shaw and Melissa. You do agree that stuff is crap, don’t you?

Hey, the post clearly says our intention isn’t to give you a laugh at the expense of red state inelegance
I think this might have something the approval rating of the pres. sitting at an all time low and so who are these noobs that are all “OMG OMG I need a comemorative pin!!! I will remember this forever and ever” But I guess she is famous, so we have to “care”. sigh.

that stuff is crap but cord is still an asshole for dumping on texans. i’m so sure there are no idiots with bad taste in new york, right?

Honestly, I sometimes wish I lived in Texas. Y’all seem a lot nicer than some of these Californians, and a lot more intelligent.

That’s where you and I differ on this, deimos. I don’t think Cord was “dumping on Texans.”
And yes, you’re right, there are “idiots with bad taste in New York.” Cord didn’t say there aren’t. As much as I love Minnesota, the ultimate “blue state”, I’ll have to admit there’s much inelegance to be found there, too. So, yes, every part of America is at least a little guilty of inelegance.
There. Happy now?

no, but it’ll work. you shouldn’t defend cord to much, he’ll start expecting it after awhile.

don’t worry, I wouldn’t jump to defend him all the time. just when he deserves it.

sometimes when he writes about texas all i can think about is when i was cold calling for AOL. i would call these people in New York and they’d ask me where i was calling from. I’d tell them Texas and 5 out of 10 times they would reply “what are you doing calling from Texas? i thought you still rode horses and lived in huts down there.”. people make me want to kill myself sometimes.

Yeah, people can be twits sometimes. I’ll bet those New Yorkers thought they were being witty.

deimos, if i were you i would have responded with “HAH HAH HAH, YOU ARE SO FUNNY!” in a very sarcastic tone. And then proceeded to pack up my belongings due to my impending release from the company.

deimos is exactly right. in high school a kid moved from NY to Texas and we became some-what friends and he told me he thought he would have to get a horse down here, and he didn’t expected the roads to be paved. wtf…really?

Why shouldn’t they herald this union? Seems Texans just have a lot of pride. Plus what does a girl’s father’s politics have anything to do with her on her wedding day? I’m not a huge George W. fan myself but I’ve read more than enough articles slamming this girls wedding clearly just because of who her father is and it’s kind of annoying.

Oh, FOAD. No one is more classless than the Clintons or Carters were in the WH. One of these days you Bush bashers are going to get an eye-opening. Anyhoo, I’m not even from TX, from a “rival” state you might say, and believe me, they are their own country. And a dayum fine one at that.

Everyone makes good points I think. But I also think, regardless of Texas and in/elegance - these commemorative items are crap. Honestly, if they were married in NY, there would be the same junk. Scratch that, it would be worse - I bet something would light up or hold booze. Here’s the thing - I can’t come up with a good descriptor for the sort of people who would sell or buy these things. Something all encompassing, you know? Any suggestions, I am having a brain fart.

Also, Almost Texan, I reject your republican/democrat rubric for classlessness in the White House, (also, it lacks proof) politicians in general, are gross. One can think this is tacky and be a Republican. Further, given Bush’s approval ratings and my parents, one can be a Republican and be disillusioned with the Bush administration. So I am curious as to what this “eye-opening” is.

Sorry this is wordy, two-for-one margaritas y’all!

juju says that they throw steaks at folks in texas. guns too.

i’d like to move to texas and blast holes in a filet mignon. true story.

ok, maybe not filet. i’d have said new york strip steak, but i don’t want to offend the anti-gun, non-vegan, scarf-wearing new york hipsters. but i guess filet mignon exposes me as an east coast latte drinking liberal.

“I can’t come up with a good descriptor for the sort of people who would sell or buy these things.”

lisa, i think the descriptor you are looking for is “cletus.” as in “slack jawed yokel.”

No,no,no. There are very few Cletus’ in Texas. More than likely the “slack jawed yokel” would be named either Tyler, Travis or Kyle.

Why didn’t they show the commemorative condoms?

They are a KICK.

Hmmm, has Cheney’s daughter got married yet?
