Engineering Position
-------------------------
Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Lake Charles refinery. A Yankee applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the manager. Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one of the questions. The manager went to Bubba and said: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the Yankee the job."
Bubba asked: "And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine questions correct. This being Louisiana, and me being a Southern boy, I should get the job!"
The manager said: "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but rather on the one question that you both missed."
Bubba then asked: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
The manager replied: "Bubba, its like this. On question #4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know." You put down, "Neither do I."

Someone apparently put out a hit on a Travis County (Austin) District Criminal Judge who was shot 3 or 4 times when she stepped out of her car in her driveway Friday night. They were a bad shot I guess because she is in stable condition. No suspect(s) identified but interestingly she recently tried and convicted a 1st degree murder case where a guy hired a hit man to kill his pregnant girl friend.

Indeed. Stars and bars does not currently represent what it's original designers had in mind. It was originally a battle flag. Not supporting anybody's views here. Just pointing out some historical truths.

I am aware of only one "hate group" which usurped the Confederate flag, and that was the KKK. I really doubt those who defend the flag think the KKK has any place in legitimate society.

That does not fit the narrative, CB. Everyone knows it's the south which is racist. And Republicans. 150 yrs of history notwithstanding.

Absolutely. Politically incorrect, to be sure. Probably best to stick with discussions of cigars, booze, women, and sports here.
