well, besides Ebola of course, there is this:

Ebola is the republicans' fault according MSNBC's Joy Reid.

As for the roads they haven't kept up with the growth and Texas hasn't raised taxes on gas for over 20 years (even as cars got better gas mileage). Prop 1 that would divert funds from education to roads instead of simply raising the gas taxes. It seems that higher gas taxes and more toll roads is the answer. Of course, with battery technology improvements and cars like those new Telsa Model S D's (0-60 in 3.2 sec) Texas may need to start taxing electricity to pay for roads or just build more toll roads.

The Federal Highway Administration, which says $170 billion a year is needed to improve performance and conditions on U.S. roadways, has estimated that each $1 billion in federal highway and transit investment would support 13,000 jobs for one year.

Texas alone falls $4 billion short each year for what it needs to maintain the system it has because, as a state transportation committee noted, current funding levels are "unacceptable."

"People are dying because of the infrastructure," said Jami Owen, a Midland resident who pushed to get a local highway expanded after her spouse, Mark, perished in a 2009 head-on crash. "My husband died because of the infrastructure."

I spent some time in the Dallas area for the first time this weekend. I have to say that the drivers there are terrible. Makes driving on Salt Lake highways feel like heaven.

Texas' federal courts doing their best to keep patent trolling alive. Gracias, Tejas!

So small genetalia that may or may not have herpes. Sounds about right.

I'm a Texas transplant...

Makes sense that is big business down there.

I guess we have finally unraveled the mystery of why Texans are so obsessed with making everything bigger. Makes perfect sense.

There is a logical explanation for all of this... It is all those SEC loving A&M fans:

Federal court in Florida accepts hoax lawsuit against Manziel

Yes, Johnny Manziel technically has been sued for sexual harassment in a Florida federal court.


No, it’s not a real lawsuit. It’s a hoax. An obvious hoax. A hoax so obvious that the clerk of the court should have refused to dignify it with a date stamp or with an assignment of the case to both a judge and a magistrate.
[...]
The lawsuit — again, it’s a hoax — also claims that Manziel sent a naked picture of himself with his penis in a hotdog bun, that he sent a photo with a “ruler next to his erect penis that measured 4-1/2 inches,” that he “keeps asking me to strip for him at his boy, Lebron James’ crip [sic] in Miami,” that Manziel “told me he does steroids and lifts weights,” and that “if another man ever talks to me, he would beat them up and get away with it because he’s famous.”

Don't ask me to explain what is going on in Ohio.

This should be in "what's right with Texas". Clearly the nice folks in Texas just don't want the men in Ohio to feel bad about themselves.

Clearly, the Lone Star State uses different descriptions when describing penis size. Nine inches is "small"; four and a half inches is "tiny". As often occurs, poll results can be skewed because of unclear language or regional differences in interpreting a question.
