And Texas has been a real conduit for some of the great food and culture from Mexico, right?
If we were saving landmarks, why aren't the funds going to Rapid City, West Yellowstone, Yosemite, and other such places?

Technically, that place called La Porte is also on the Gulf Coast, isn't it? That is one big bay leading up towards Houston.

That's Galveston Bay. LaPorte is part of the 25 miles along Galveston Bay that comprise the Port of Houston. Most of the refineries in the area are along the Bay, though there are a few that are closer to the coast.

Hmmm. You're thinking they'd paint grafitti about Bush on the Half-Dome?

You know and I know that the Sam Houston on 45 at Huntsville must be protected at all costs.

No. Not that. First they dynamite the Buddha, and then they go after Teddy!

Huh. I learn something new every day. This is almost as good as when someone taught me the C-alifornia O-regon W-ashington COW thing.

True, but that means well need DHS funds to protect the Golden Driller in Tulsa.

Damn fucking straight. Protecting the Driller would also protect the nearby waterslide, right?

What's with the chicken?

I assume the chicken fills out the exhibit - that's the Houston contemporary art museum, isn't it?

Why would Houston put a museum in Tulsa?

Tulsa has Oral Roberts University to keep the place safe, no?
