I’m tired tonight so I’m just messing around looking on Youtube and to my surprise I came across this guy, Scott Wade.
This is really one of those stranger than fiction things. It really makes you wonder when he started this kind of art. I lived out in western Oklahoma during the early eighties so I do understand the “dust” problem in that part of the country. I don’t remember it raining all that much though so maybe his art lasts longer than it would up here in Michigan. This is a novelty and that’s probably just why he does it. Texas is a state that has all kinds of strange and odd things that tend to happen. It wasn’t too long ago that Gov. Rick Perry wanted to secede from the union. He’s running for re-election and Kay Bailey Hutchinson is running against him in the primary on the Republican platform. The Tea Party activists also have a person in this race, Debra Medina, so this should turn out to be an interesting race. Tomorrow is the primary and it looks like Perry is going to win.

What is surprizing is the fact that Kay Bailey Hutchinson had a big lead at the beginning of this race. It seems she is now considered to be a Washington D.C. establishment figure and Perry has successfully turned this race into an anti-Washington race.
I can’t say I really care about the Texas race but you have to wonder about Texas as all of those classroom textbooks keep coming out of Texas. I don’t know if that is a good thing considering the makeup of this some what unusual state. I find Texas a little odd and it’s not because it is so gosh darn big. Here is a link to some of their oddities that you can just travel and see.

This one probably takes the cake:

This one is about the lynching of Santa Claus. Yes, they took the law into their own hands and it’s not pretty. This is a true story of a sick society. After reading this story you will be glad you live in the state you live in as long as it isn’t Texas! Now, I ‘m wondering even more about those classroom textbooks printed in Texas. Here’s just a sampling of what might be in a history textbook coming to your children in the future.

It looks like Paul Krugman is worried about those Texas textbooks too!

This is why we have to teach our children how to think for themselves and not just regurgiate the “facts” because we really don’t know whose writing the “facts”!
I’m not trying to offend any Texas people here but come on you Texas Republicans are these three candidates the best you got for the governorship?
