Texas Attorney General Hot Wheels is fighting to prevent the Forces of Evil from undoing his beloved Texas Voter-ID Law. This blogger arrived in Texas in 1967 (He wasn't born here, but got here as fast as he could.) and the Poll Tax (1902-1966) had been repealed in Texas the year before. Now, the Dumbos/Morons are attempting to deny the vote to non-Anglo Texas voters with the Voter-ID Law. If this is a (fair & balanced) reassertion of white privilege, so be it.
