'Invastion' [sic] of Army recruiters unnerves jittery Austinites I guess we're just lucky that none of our fellow residents who (legally or illegally) carry concealed handguns took matters into their own hands!

A federal appeals court ruling yesterday interpreted the second amendment, deciding that the Constitution guarantees individuals the right to have a gun (in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, at least). It's a good thing for the Golden Knights that no one was out celebrating the new law.

Austinites are sometimes a jumpy bunch.

But, not without reason.

Who did they think were invading? What nation could possibly get into the middle of Texas totally undetected and at least not being chased by our Air Force? I think the nation has lost their common sense since 9/11.

Drive south on I-35 out of Dallas and you'll soon have your answer: The UN!

As seen on numerous billboards on our way to Hillsboro.

woo hoo..
NW Austin in the houuuuuse..
booyah.

I was listening to the student radio station (University of Texas) yesterday (not KUT -- their fund drive is driving me insane!) and they closed some building on campus when they found a white powdery substance on the floor below a drilled hole in some drywall.

uhhh. hmm..

That would be KVRX.

Their slogan? "None of the hits, all of the time!"

Actually, ColdChef, I used to work at my college radio station (way back when) -- WUVT, 90.5 FM (Virginia Tech).
We didn't play "hits" either. The whole point was to expose people to music that they'd never heard of.

We were so "alternative".

It was fun, though.

I think you're all missing the important question here: What did Alex Jones have to say about it?

John Erler on Thursday mornings is the best. It's the Elk Mating Ritual Show. You may also know him from The Alamo Drafthouse's Mister Sinus Theater 3000.

I think you're all missing the important question here: What did Alex Jones have to say about it?

Probably something along the lines of:
"UN Operatives have put anthrax in our Huts's Burgers!"
"Governor Rick Perry is cultivating Godzillas in the state capitol!"
"There are witches in my TOOTHPASTE!"
