The ice-cube theory
20.09.11
[Which itself is a line taken from W.B. Yeats], this weird will do until the real weird gets here.)
And when you're brought to Rick Perry, should you be so fortunate, his security handlers don't want to hear any questions about U.S. policy vis-à-vis Iceland. His security folks are sick and tired about questions concerning the good governor's stance on Iceland (those thermal seams belong to us, through an ancient, almost-never-used treaty with the Inuit, not that we can prove the Inuit were ever actually on Iceland), and they have the Texas death penalty to back it up. (Y'all want to try to get that overturned? Boy?)
And that brings up, I have to admit, this weird little bit:
Why are cocktails and sodas not chilled in Texas anywhere outside of trendy Austin spots?
Because in the Texas outside of trendy Austin, in the Texas Perry calls the "real Texas" (and we'll take his word for it, because of, you know, the hair — can anyone truly tell the difference between the Perry hair and the Romney hair? — and why are we so interested in hair, anyway?), some years ago, some Texan misplaced the recipe for making ice cubes.
