YEEEEE HAAAAAAW
Another stroke of rootin’ tootin’ inbred foolishness outta rural TX.
The NYT reports today about a “school board in this impoverished rural hamlet in North Texas” that allows teachers to concealed carry to school.
Favorite bit?
In the center of the storm is Mr. Thweatt, a man who describes himself as “a contingency planner,” who believes Americans should be less afraid of protecting themselves and who thinks signs at schools saying “gun-free zone” make them targets for armed attacks. “That’s like saying sic ’em to a dog,” he said.
That is a great simile. We need to ask our linguist how “dog” is pronounced in there. “Daug” a good approximation?

Wow…I wonder if they will let straight-A seniors carry guns?
And, if I substitute there, do I have/get to carry a gun? Also, I wonder if the teachers are paid more to have a weapon?
My favorite quote: “Republican governor, Rick Perry, has endorsed the idea.”
Who are these people that they live in such fear?
