• U.N. to invade Texas? "Ridiculous," says world body (Reuters): "Maybe President Barack Obama should just settle it in a gun duel with a Texas judge, instead of calling on the United Nations to invade the state.

Karen Spivey-Cummings via Texas Tribune on Facebook
I am so embarrassed to be from Texas these days. Yikes.
Jan Norton via Texas Tribune on Facebook

Roger A. Barrus via Texas Tribune on Facebook
