Cornhuskers

According to Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, there are dim bulbs in his state who worry that statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson might be demolished after statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are gone. Is this level of stupidity caused by too much corn in the diet? It makes me wonder where they get ideas like that.

From Sasse's Facebook page:
13. Every single place I've been this week, I've gotten a question like this: 
"Washington and Jefferson owned slaves; do we have to tear down their statues too?"
"Explorer X didn't treat native Americans the way he should have; do we abandon states west of the Appalachian Trail?"
"Even Tom Osborne isn't a saint; must we tear down the statute outside Lincoln's Memorial Stadium?"

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
