Heh. Don't mess with Texan Judges. RTWT, which includes a stunning PDF of the letter hizonner sent to the Environmental Quackery Commission.The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality sent a complaint to Limestone County Judge Daniel Burkeen about David Cousins, a resident of Thornton, who rented out a cabin to hunters without a proper latrine facility.
The commission wanted the good judge to investigate.
Oh, he will. But he is busy.
“We have had some delay in our investigation of the incidents alleged in the complaint which you kindly forwarded to us,” Judge Burkeen wrote to the commission. “The problem is, we have recently had a rash of reports of cows, horses, sheep and goats defecating at will in pastures throughout the county. On top of this, we suspect that wild hogs, deer and all sorts of other animals are defecating without even trying to find a proper facility. In addition, I have personal proof on my windshield of a mischievous bird defecating in flight. The culprit flew away, but I did get a description. It was red. The gift it left was white.”
Just what on earth is going on with this craziness in Texas? It's almost as crazy as Massachusetts.
There are a lot of liberals ensconced in Austin. We like to keep them all in one place where we can keep an eye on them but sometimes they get uppity and need to Be slapped down. Fortunately we do have some good judges.
ReplyDeleteAlan beat me to it. I was going to tell you the TCEQ is based in Austin- our version of San Fransisco.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that in MA the state would spend thousands investigating and prosecuting the case while in Texas the judge treats it as the joke it is.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Austin and while it's liberal by Texas standards, it's not liberal by MA standards. Thankfully.
Dallas too is liberal by Texas standards, but not to the extent that Austin is.
