States' rights are all the rage at the moment. Texas Governor Rick Perry and a bunch of Texas legislators have signed a resolution affirming Texas' sovereignty under the 10th Amendment. Pop quiz: what does the 10th Amendment say? No cheating!
Politics Buzz This awesome Texas legislator wants Asian-Americans to cut it out with the confusing, non-American names. Her quote during House testimony yesterday: “Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?”
Celebrity Buzz If Arnold can do it, why couldn't Chuck Norris? Norris isn't going for Governor, this Walker Texas Ranger is so badass he's striving to be the President of the future independent state of Texas. Don't doubt the man because you know what they say. “Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship.”

A University of Texas poll shows that 23% of Texans are convinced that Barack Obama is a Muslim. One could probably make the assumption that these same individuals polled truly believe that Jessica Simpson is a genius. Discuss.

Texas Tech is gearing up for the big game against Texas on Saturday, and offensive linebacker Brandon “Mankind” Carter is all set with some scary-looking face paint.
Culture Buzz The Harrold, TX, school board has decided to let some teachers bring guns to a tiny school with less than 100 students. You know, to protect the children.
The Yearn for Zion Ranch polygamists raided in San Angelo, Texas have moved to San Antonio, and by the looks of this photo retrospective in The New York Times, the gang isn’t letting court orders get in the way of some crazy awesome fun. Between piggyback rides, a trampoline, and frequent naps, it looks like getting off the compound was the best thing that ever happened to these ladies. Now adjust that bonnet and button up that prairie dress - it’s time to PARTY!
Tech Buzz Houson, Texas is being invaded by so called “crazy rasberry ants”, that came over on a cargo boat. Apparently, they infest electronic devices and can ruin computers and even gas meters. They’re like the bedbugs of the tech world! Reading about these ants is giving me that creepy-crawly tingly scalp feeling, not unlike the feeling I get from looking at manbabies.
