“Good morning, Mr Howard, now before I continue I’d just like to establish that you’re a work of fiction for satirical purposes and as such I have a fair bit of leeway with what I can get you to do or say.” “Certainly, but you’ve got nothing on George W. He could twist me into…

By James Moore I have been a Texan for almost exactly 48 years. My bride and I moved here from Michigan in 1975 and lived on the border for several years in Edinburg, McAllen, Pharr, and then up the river to Laredo. This was a huge cultural transition for persons raised in a suburban factory…
