  • Dallas: Beware Road Pirates

    Repeat: two weeks ago, our rock and roll governor (except on uneven surfaces) signed a law that requires ALL Texas Sheriff’s Departments to assist ICE when they’re operating in their jurisdiction. I know, they all pee a little like whipped-dogs every time I mention this. In the Tenth Street Freedman’s District, Dallas Sheriff’s Office invisible…

    Shake Away

    I’ve lost hope in humanity. Country to country, town to town, we’re all a bunch of shit heads, but America has truly topped the bill in the most disgusting way imaginable.
