Texas Monthly has a great feature they let us preview about Texas' contribution to the war in Iraq. More than our fair share of mourning? Be sure to check out this special issue.

And then damnnn, did y'all pick up the Austin Chronicle? Well, if you aren't in Austin that's a big, D'er no. But here's the link to a story we totally missed.

Monday blues, maybe....
Um, PD, where ya' been, out in the shit house drinkin' gin?
