The Texas GOP Party Platform is an amazing document.
I looked at the actual thing and that stuff is really there and not taken out of context.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cheer up or die (sooner).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that was scary. But I dealt with it by telling myself that Texas is just divorced from reality, and that no one from Texas will be determining policy for the country anytime soon....

Great. That's depressing. Thanks for making me die sooner, ita.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
As for his being the head of the Inquisition, well, George Bush I was head of the CIA for a while, before he became Veep and then president. Which is a nice datum for the Lefty Paranoiacs Organizational Front newsletter, but didn't turn out to tell us anything about how he would govern the country
Well sure nothing that we know of, but since it's the CIA they're all secret-like when they pull shit.
Honestly, I think it's Junior's reign where the crunchy spy goodness comes into play.

I'm really not surprised to see the Texas GOP Party Platform. I live in Florida, I've seen what Jeb has done with the state.
Jeb said this in his inagural speech in 2003:
"There would be no greater tribute to our maturity as a society than if we can make these buildings around us empty of workers; silent monuments to the time when government played a larger role than it deserved or could adequately fill."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
askye, honey, I'm so sorry you have to live there. Move here!
I mean, not that California's current state government is a marked improvement, but the Bay Area has a remarkable talent for sticking its fingers in its ears and chanting LalalalaIcan'thearyou in the general direction of Sacramento. Plus, the city governments of San Francisco and Berkeley? Still completely awful, but at least in a blundering, madcap. mostly harmless sort of way.
