Badtux the Snarky Penguin

In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.

Downtown Houston

The Bugman, Tom DeLay, says that Iraq is no more dangerous than downtown Houston. Funny, I used to live in Houston. I honestly don't recall scenes like this one that recently occurred in Baghdad:

Was I perhaps leading a sheltered life, given that I was teaching in an inner-city school in the 3rd ward within shooting distance of downtown? Curious penguins want to know!

I think you were living a sheltered life. I don't think pengiuns hung out in the part of town that Delay is talking about. I think it had something to do with nuns and penguins looking alike?

Yeah, I guess the drug dealers on the streets and teaching kids who went home to be lookouts for their uncle's drug dealing business meant I was teaching in an upscale neighborhood of Houston like, say, River Oaks (where the Chimperor grew up and where houses less than 5,000 square feet in size are prohibited by deed restriction).

Don't sweat it, Penguin. After all, Houston (and the rest of Texas) won't be on earth much longer. Problem solved!

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce." -- Molly Ivins, 1944-2007 "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
