Photo: immlass: hotelechozulu: It’s almost like Venice I know it’s because I grew up in a swamp, but my reaction to this is “This is strange and interesting how?” It’s like every apartment complex that floods in the rain that I ever lived in in Houston, which is to say, all of them. Why is it that Texans can’t do drainage? I guess y’all just don’t have any rain most of the time…

Quote:

“Houston became the largest city in the United States to elect an openly gay mayor on Saturday night, as voters gave a solid victory to the city controller, Annise Parker… “Tonight the voters of Houston have opened the door to history,” she said, standing by her partner of 19 years, Kathy Hubbard, and their three adopted children. “I acknowledge that. I embrace that. I know what this win means to many of us who never thought we could achieve high office.”

I guess I’ll be needing to revise my opinion of Houston upward.

they used the bible as a basis to condemn this man to death, and it was upheld by an appeals court

arinlome:

America’s busiest death chamber claimed another life this evening as 32-year-old Khristian Oliver, whose conviction was secured through misuse of the Bible, was executed in Texas.

A 30-day reprieve had been requested by Oliver’s attorneys to allow officials to examine a rifle for DNA evidence that someone else handled the weapon during the attack that led to a brutal murder.

But Governor Rick Perry maintained his past record of refusing reprieves to check evidence. He had earlier also refused an appeal concerning the bias of the jury.

Wow, just..wow.

fuck. I love Austin, but I hate Texas. Mostly Rick Perry.

Photo: Cowboys’ Massive New Stadium Not Big Enough To Play Football In [Nfl] Starter Craig Hentrich said he hit it half a dozen times in warmups and estimated that half the league’s kickers wouldn’t be able to punt normally in that building. Jones isn’t buying that, however. He says the board has “entertainment value” and has no plans to move it higher. (There probably isn’t room, anyway.) really, Texas?
