Saturday Morning Confusion, High Noon in Texas!

Well folks, not only has the United States got a Wild West reputation, it's going to start to look more like 'Frontier Days' after the New Year.

According to a new open carry law, which Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed at a gun range last June, licensed Texans can now openly carry their firearm (as long as it’s secured in a belt or shoulder holster) in all the same places where they could already carry a concealed weapon—which is pretty much anywhere except federal buildings, courthouses, polling places, amusement parks, worship centers, sporting events, jails, and businesses like bars where more than 51 percent of their earnings come from alcohol sales.

While “we understand that you may feel alarmed, or even scared when encountering a person who’s openly carrying a handgun,” says a city spokeswoman in the video, concerned citizens are asked to familiarize themselves with the basics of the new law so as to avoid flooding 911 lines with reports of every person in Texas who looks ready for a shootout come January 1.

“Only call 911 if you encounter a person who is in violation of the law,” says the spokeswoman, noting that questions should be directed to 311. Such 911-worthy violations include: removing the gun from a secured belt or shoulder holster, appearing intoxicated while carrying a gun, or “obviously committing a crime or acting in a reckless or suspicious manner.”

In Houston, a number of concerned restaurant owners are already planning to take advantage of a particular aspect of the Texas Penal Code that says private businesses can prohibit patrons from openly carrying guns by posting a sign in plain view that says, “contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height:”

"Pursuant to Section 30.07, Penal Code (trespass by license holder with an openly carried handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (handgun licensing law), may not enter this property with a handgun that is carried openly”

Well, it seems the Grinch who stole Christmas is alive and well kids:

This makes that School Board our "Asshole of the Day!"

The Official Christmas Number 1 is a coveted top spot in the British music world but in an unlikely move, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber sabotaged his own chance at the title.
In the final hours of the race, Bieber's song Love Yourself was neck-and-neck with a tune called A Bridge Over You, which was sung by a group of nurses, doctors and others from England's National Health Service's Lewisham and Greenwich Choir.
When Bieber heard about his worthy musical opponents, he took to Twitter to urge his 72 million followers to throw their support behind the charity single to push its sales ahead of his own.

This makes Justin our "Winner of the Day!"

Well folks, the Republicans down in the states have slowly conceded that there IS such a thing as "Global Warming," but their current mantra says it has nothing to do with man-made conditions, but is rather a direct result of natural phenomena that happen all the time on this plantet!

This was all part of a Christmas Day message that was released yesterday to help explain American Right Wing policy ......, along with updates on Benghazi, Clinton's E-Mails, and Obama's birth certificate!
