I miss Channel 2 in Houston.

They had a dog that helped with the weather forecasts, an anchor who made her own pregnancy a top news story and a reporter who sprayed himself with mace to see which brand worked the best.

Plus, they employed Chris Wragge for a while and always put him on beach assignments that required him to be shirtless.

Well it's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades' palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin

Mae Rose Owens lost her bedroom
When the porches all fell in
Guy Laguarde kissed his yard goodbye
And it's all because of sin
No one must be told
About this thieving in the night
Satan stole the landscape
It was gone with the morning light

Seven recreational vehicles buried underground
Seven cranes went after them
Six could not be found
A porsche and half a swimming pool
Are lost I am afeared
The seventh crane approached the hole
Then it disappeared

St. Augustine in his slumber
Plumbs the depths of his own soul
St. Bernadette in her visions
Feels her body beyond control
The flowers of Narcissus
Are nailed to the underworld door
Hades has the medicine
But he keeps down on the floor

It's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades' palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin

- Kristin Hersh, SINKHOLE

clearly this is the earth's way of asking hillary to concede the race.

I think Ann Richards was just getting her revenge on the state for ousting her and giving George W. Bush his boost into national politics.

"clearly this is the earth's way of asking hillary to concede the race."

Or the Earth is trying to swallow George Bush.

now, diva, as much as i love george - and i do, deeply and with an abiding passion you people could never understand...and it's not dirty or perverse, it's pure and chaste and special - even i recognize that the earth will spit when it comes to swallowing him.

"giant sinkhole in Texas"

Is that any way to describe Barbara Bush? I mean really.

What a wedding gift to the blushing Bush virginal bride.

And to think that she didn't even register at Sinkholes-R-Us.

And I always thought Texas WAS a giant sinkhole.

Can a sinkhole get a sinkhole?

Where is all this animosity towards Texas coming from? We need to get domestic oil from somewhere and Alaska is too controversial...

Just kidding; I'm a big fan of alternative bio-fuels but really, poor Texas!

Chris Wragge...not bad. The blonde with fake boobs saps his credibility a bit, though.

They're doing such a great job of raising the kids in Texas:


Ah, Texas.
