Sorry for the confusion. I'm not terribly familiar with the majority of Texas, and was just going by what the story said. The words 'Austin, Texas' appear under the author's name, so I assumed.

I guess I should have found, and used, a better, (read 'not foreign') source.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

I asked my homeowner's insurance company why they cared if I was on a flood plain or not, since they don't cover flooding. They said, sometimes floods cause fires. I guess cave-ins cause fires too.

Stephen Colbert Thanks Mississippi Senator for ‘Admitting’ He ‘Bangs Cows’

Ya gotta watch the clip at the link. One of Colbert's finer moments.

Oh, and Republican Squirrel? Stay the hell out of Mississippi!

paraphrasing:

If he wants to get elected he better show up with one hand holding a jug of moonshine, and the other holding his sister's titty.
