We Are A Nation Of People Who Will Never Be Broken [VIDEO]

Driver — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:09:03 +0000

On April 15 of this year, once again, our lives were changed forever by the actions of two sick, sadistic men. Two brothers who will now forever have a place of infamy, not only in world history, but in AMERICAN history who foolishly thought they could break us.

Lubbock Doesn't Make Short List Of North Korea Bombing Targets

Wes — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:43:09 +0000

New intelligence out of North Korea suggests the rogue country would bomb four areas. Washington D.C., Los Angeles California, Hawaii and Austin, Texas. Uh, Austin? What’s up with that? Why not Dallas or Houston, and how come Lubbock gets left out again? Austin seems to be a rather random choice for bombing. I guess [...]

Are You Wondering What That Weird Red Square Is?

Wes — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:51:09 +0000

You may see a weird red square popping up on some of your friends Facebook profiles. That’s the “marriage equality symbol”. It’s just a way of saying that you think all loving couples should have the right to be married. More after the jump. I don’t care what you or any other people do in [...]

It's Time For Texas To Have Liquour Sales On Sunday

Wes — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:42:33 +0000

You cannot protect people from themselves. It’s also not your place to say when a person can have a drink. Old prohibitions on liquor sales based on antiquated thinking or religious teachings are out of synch with the real world. More after the jump. There is a bill in the Texas legislature that would expand [...]

There's A New Pope And I Really Don't Care!

Wes — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 12:16:25 +0000

Doesn’t it seem like the nightly news is ramming the “New Pope” up our rears a bit? Does it really mean anything to our daily lives? Who is this guy and why would he say “yes I’ll wear silly hats for the rest of my life”. Some very basic thoughts after the jump. Worldwide Catholics [...]

The Idiocy Over Synthetic Marijuana Begins In Lubbock

Wes — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:55:26 +0000

Who didn’t see this coming? The Mayor saw it coming. A lot of Lubbockites saw it coming. Even then, the City council (I wish I could replace that “C” with a “Sh”) voted a ridiculous “ban” on synthetic marijuana. Now comes word that one Smoke Shop owner, who happens to be a lawyer is refusing to pull the stuff from the shelves. More after the jump.

Natalie Maines Covers Pink Floyd's "Mother". Really? [VIDEO]

Heathen — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:39:48 +0000

Possibly the oddest combination of words I have used to make a sentence so far this year. And I’ve said some pretty stupid stuff. But Natalie Maines covers Pink Floyd’s “Mother” is right up there. This is for the “West Of Memphis” soundtrack. “West Of Memphis” is the documentary about the West Memphis 3, who [...]

If You Can't Use Metallica Music To Torture Prisoners; Try Demon Hunter

Driver — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:17:34 +0000

Who would have thought that a band that has a album called "Kill 'em All" would have a problem with the CIA and the military using Metallica music to psychologically interrogate prisoners of war.

Rick Perry Comes Out Against Gay Scouts

Wes — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:00:01 +0000

Rick Perry is a lughead. He's also a bit of bully and lets not forget religious zealot. We've seen it first hand. Man, I'm calling names here, but we've experienced his mafia like security team at the radio station. His recent public statement that the Boy Scouts should keep their ban on gay scouts proves ONCE AGAIN that he is anachronistic and no longer representative of ALL of the people of West Texas. More after the jump.

What's Wrong With America These Days, Jenna Marbles Style [VIDEO]

Driver — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 05:41:44 +0000

I think it's safe to say that there are a few things that really get some people (me included) really worked up. One of those things is religion, one is sports, and don't even bring up politics (unless you are willing to agree with me) all three are sure fire ways to get someone pissed off.

OK So Maybe Keeping Gay Marriage Illegal Is a Good Idea After All [VIDEO]

Heathen — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:15:05 +0000

I found a video with 5 good reasons to keep gay marriage illegal. No, wait, it was like 7 reasons. Or was it 10? I lost count after the first few and here’s why. This is a video from our lesbian friends, and they have a litany of reasons why straight women should help keep [...]

The President & A Lobster

Wes — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:00:14 +0000

I had one of those moments today in the supermarket. You know, where you wished you would have said the right thing at the right time, but didn’t. I really was distracted and didn’t figure out what the chump was talking about until too late. I was just standing there and this guy totally at random said, “I wish I was having lobster for lunch”. I had no idea what he was talking about and I just said “me too”. Then as he was walking away I heard him say “I wonder if my tax dollars are paying for that”. It still didn’t occur to me until I looked up a few minutes later that the television was on the inauguration festivities. More, if you dare, after the jump.

Four Year Old Weighs In On "Bronco Bamma" Winning The Election [Video]

I know there were a lot of you who were very tired of hearing about the election, seeing the ads, the debates, everything about the entire process possible had you stressed completely out.

Secession For Texas Is The Dumbest, Most Poorly Thought Out Idea Ever

Wes — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:39:06 +0000

Of all of the histrionics that have come out of this recent election, the absolute dumbest has to be the ‘secede’ crowd. First off, what kind of pre-school behavior is that( I don’t like the way this game turned out so I’m going to take my toys and go home)? . Next, it has to be the most poorly thought out idea ever and I’m going to spell it out for you. More after the jump.

Dry Those Tears The Election Is Over: President Obama Wins [VIDEO]

Driver — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 05:30:34 +0000

It's over, Barack Obama has been re-elected as the 44th President of the United States. I realize the results of today's election are only minutes old; but I already miss the candidates out on the campaign trail.

Don't Forget, Today Is Election Day

Driver — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 07:01:50 +0000

Early voting ended last week, hopefully a lot of you were able to take advantage of the opportunity to get out before then. I went and did my part the first week and felt really good about being able to get out and take part in the entire process.

At Least Mr. Burns From "The Simpson's" Isn't Undecided About the Election. [VIDEO]

Heathen — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:09:24 +0000

With the election just days away and many people claiming they’re still undecided, Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” has released his endorsement for the 2012 Presidential race. No surprise, he’s voting for Mitt Romney. In what is clearly a humorous stab at Governor Romney Mr. Burns, along with his sidekick Mr. Smithers, attempt to convince [...]

Old People Cuss About the Election [VIDEO] [NSFW]

Heathen — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:11:55 +0000

Warning! This is a Michael Moore produced video so it obviously is very liberal. I’m not posting it because I want to encourage you to vote either way, I don’t. I’m posting this because it’s freakin’ hilarious! I love hearing these old people get all saucy with the language. And boy do they get dirty! [...]

Driver — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 06:01:25 +0000

It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, at some point someone from your party will do something questionable that may cause you to question if maybe you should rethink your stance.
