		<description>Jim, I understood it was meant to be humorous.  I love satirical works, and probably would have laughed at it under different circumstances.  I felt at the time that I read it that it was written by someone who was just using Texas as the butt of a joke, and I&#039;ve started to get sick of that (raised in Texas and trying to push back against the Bushies)

For me it&#039;s just one of those things that if you are in Texas you can laugh at it, but when it is someone who might actually think &quot;hey that&#039;s true&quot;  it isn&#039;t as funny.  I believe that all people have that one thing they are a bit sensitive about.

In hindsight, I understand how people may think that I just can&#039;t take a joke.  Lord knows I&#039;ve thought that about people before!  rest assured I can in fact take a joke, and really do understand why it&#039;s humorous.  (Although my humor normally tack more towards Molly Ivins, Kinky Friedman, and Jim Hightower when it come to Texas)</description>

		<description>As one who lived in Dallas for more than fifteen years, I found the remark very funny. I wish I had thought of it. 

It&#039;s humor like this that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greatertuna.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Greater Tuna&quot;&lt;/a&gt; was built on, as well as drag. I&#039;m sorry if you were offended. Me, I laughed out loud, both at the humor and in fond appreciation. (I also have a hard time believing a similar joke wasn&#039;t let loose during the pageant.)</description>

		<description>OK, I read this over, and I have taken offense for The first time ever at one of your articles.  
You said

&quot;I certainly share their concern; imagine all the possiblities for confusion and tragedy. It can be terribly difficult distinguishing the drag queens and the beauty contestants - especially those from Texas.&quot;

As a Texan who works for equality I find that offensive.  I understand it was a joke and I am not livid, I just wanted to remind you that there are progressive southerners and If you look at her, she doesn&#039;t actually have the stereotypical southern beauty queen look.  

Other than that, keep up the great work, I love this site!</description>

		<description>Bahahahaha.

I guess this means &quot;World Peace&quot; will be a no-show this year?

&lt;I&gt;I can’t see where something like this would be beneficial to our nation. As a matter of fact, I see it as a detriment.&lt;/i&gt;

A concern we all have: especially about any industry that starts with the pimping out of 6 year old children wearing more make-up than a, than a... well, than a drag queen.

(And surely... &quot;Barbara Cox&quot;??? -- there&#039;s a drag name that&#039;s never been done before. Good grief, the irony.)</description>
