I keep thinking that insanity is a state where a person can't tell what's real. Well, what's real now is insane-and if I accepted it as real, I have to lose my mind, wouldn't I? -Atlas Shrugged-

Is Texas and Texans really like it's portrayed in No Country For Old Men?


- Colonel Paul YinglingNobody who wins a war indulges in a bifurcated definition of victory. War is a political act; victory and defeat have meaning only in political terms. A country incapable of achieving its political objectives at an acceptable cost is losing the war, regardless of battlefield events.
Bifurcating victory (e.g. winning militarily, losing politically) is a useful salve for defeated armies. The "stab in the back" narrative helped take the sting out of failure for German generals after WWI and their American counterparts after Vietnam.
All the same, it's nonsense. To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, show me a political loser, and I'll show you a loser.




What happened to make the whole city of Houston smell bad like that?

Some parts. There's a lot of different places in Texas, we have huge cities, modern towns, not so modern towns, predominantly Mexican areas which range from nice places to chill at, to "roll up the windows and let's gtfo of here", then there's the wilderness. We have lakes, rivers, mountains, woods, marshlands, and desert. If you like to hunt, we do that. If you like to hike, got it. If you like to just chill, and drink in the shade, check. The highways in some parts suck, especially in El Paso, and Houston. The 610 loop can blow me. We also have all kinds of different people, and no, we don't all wear those damned hats and boots. It's usually the posers, gays, and Mexicans who wear those, in the regions I've lived in, at least.
