I see 34 people wrote in "Farts".

Davis needs some help there, but now I'm not sure being "Texan of the Year" is all it's cracked up to be. Shouldn't it just be Willie Nelson and ZZTop every year?

... really, we need to kick this. Did my part. Wendy's still behind, though.. Let's catch her up!

After yesterday's news cycle, it's clear Cruze is channeling Jesse Helms (one of the most vile/evil humans that ever crossed the Senate threshold.)
