At last, an improvement on the old Texas He-needed-killin' defense: "He needed killin', but I was too stupid to do it, your honor."

It's a poor workman who blames her tools.

Who says women don't have a problem being taken seriously?

In Texas, anything short of firearms is just an expression of free speech. Sometimes affection.

Now I see that I picked the wrong career path.
