This time it is reportedly with a building in downtown Houston.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

You mean it isn't really true?

Maybe it just ran aground at cruise speed or something.

Apparently some people will believe anything, even the patently satirical. Enough such that some have felt the need to explain that it's satire: Navy Destroyer Colliding with Building In Downtown Houston Is Military Satire Roll Eyes
