What's up with Texas?

Dang! Why have only 36% of the caucusses reported at this point?

Are they still trying to decide who will be the 3rd Assistant Deputy Sheriff of the Armstrong District Sheriffs office?

Or perhaps they are still diciding where they should put up the new "Walker, Texas Ranger" statue?

Maybe a bunch of caucusses never happened because there was brush to clear?

They're fucking crazy (none / 0)

A Danish journalist wanders onto a Texas woman's yard with a cell phone, and she threatens to murder him for trespassing. Think about that for a moment.

How do you think an ignorant, gun-toting Texas redneck feels about Mr. Bush's War in Iraq? Maybe this one defies the stereotype, but I'm thinking she's okay with it.

And she probably doesn't object to armed American soldiers kicking open doors, shooting women in labor as they hurry through checkpoints, or torturing human beings who were detained on nothing more than mere suspicion. As long as that happens in Iraq, not here.

And I'll wager she thinks that the people of Iraq should not object to their treatment at American hands. But let one foreign journalist, armed only with a cell phone, wander onto her yard, and she is ready to end his life forever.

Unfortunately, the crazies are not confined to Texas.

I caucused in Texas. (none / 0)
Obama got 7/11 delegates in my precient.  A co-worker said a similar result happened in his precient.  Texas will ultimately help/not hurt Obama.

Wow (none / 0)

It's been a day and a half, and only 40% of the caucus results are in. That's a lot of people just saying "Yeah, I'll get around to it. Maybe after this rerun of What's Happening"

We're not all idiots... (none / 0)
Just because our worst export ever is now the President, doesn't mean we're all idiots.  Remember, it took more than Texas to elect Bush twice.  Anywho, the caucus system in Texas has been in existence since around 1990, but has not been useful until this year.  So give us a break for trying to get things sorted out.  And by the way, it took New Mexico close to two weeks to announce their caucus results... and they do it all the time

Another true story (none / 0)

I used to work in a catalog shopping call center.  Worst job ever, by the way.  Dealing with morons who think they can get away with credit card fraud and kids who try to order a $200 pair of Air Jordans without their parents' permission was all in a day's work. 

One day, a customer called from Texas.  She was polite and friendly, but sounded somehow under-the-weather.  When I asked her for her customer code (as was customary during a sales transaction with that call center), she said, "Hold on...I need my glasses.  The number is printed really small."

Always looking for ways to liven up my tedious job (and to raise the spirits of what sounded like a kind of depressed woman), I joked that "I thought everthing was bigger in Texas." 

She just sighed heavily and answered, "Everything sucks in Texas."

Call Center Story! (none / 0)

My oldest son worked on some construction projects at Kennedy Space Center, Because of that he lived in Titusville Fl for a couple of years.

For some reason , Titusville often becomes Titsville on addresses , orders and forms and in occasionally newspapers. One day his wife was ordering some clothing items on line when the link dropped. She called the merchant to finish the sale....he pulled the shopping basket up and.....here's how she tells it:

Phone Order Clerk:" I want to confirm that address again. You want that delivered to 104 Oak Street in Titsville ( teheheh) Florida 32783? Right? (teheheh)

 Wife: (sigh)"No, No..that's Titusville.... 

Phone Order clerk: "Oh..It looked like Titsville!"

 Wife:"Gee I've never heard that before. Listen pervert, congratulations you said "tits" to a customer. Now can we finish order...do you want my credit card number or my bra size?"

Wacky addresses (none / 0)
The only time a caller's address prompted any laughter from me, it was the time I handled an order from Eek, AK.
