The Republic of Texas

Mary Kay + Villi = Love Forever.
MK told Larry King "she didn't know that having sex with a sixth-grader was a felony." Doesn't that eliminate malice aforethought? Doesn't that prove that the woman is mentally unstable, not a criminal? (wherein a mental institution might have been the preferred form on rehabilitation as opposed to prison time). Honestly, can we really put her in the same category as R. Kelly? I don't know why this woman fascinates me...I've never seen crazy like this. Or have I...maybe I just can't remember, I did watch a lot of tv movies based on actual events in my earlier years.

And now for an excerpt from an email forwarded to me from a friend in Texas...I promise, we're not all like this:

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to Secede from the Union (please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of1848). We Texans love y'all, but we'll have to take action if Kerry wins president over Bush. We'll miss you too. (there's much more, but I'll just give you the intro)*

I honestly love Texas, I do. It's where I spent 23 years of my life, it's where my parents live and many of my friends, and I can't say that I'd be the same wonderful/amazing/incredible person if it hadn't been for my formative years spent in the Lonestar State. I especially love Austin b/c it's much more open minded and diverse than the rest of Texas (particularly the small town I grew up in where people toss around racial slurs w/ the defense that "it's like calling white people 'white trash'"). This email brought to my attention that during this election, I have yet to come across someone who so blindly and proudly supports Bush, mainly b/c everyone I know is either for Kerry or against Bush (same difference). And w/ the prescence of Leonardo DiCaprio pushing Kerry for pres, I tend to forget that Reba wants you to vote for Bush. Frankly, it makes me happy that I'm not voting in Texas where I would honestly feel like my vote didn't matter. Because it wouldn't. And on a completely different note, I'm a little pissed that Britney Spears has taken the contraction "y'all" and ruined it forever.

*To the friend who forwarded me the email...I'm not trying to disrespect you, but we definitely have a difference of opinion.
