world will take little notice today that the state of Texas executed someone who represents the very reason we still need the death penalty.

We are doing some work out in West Texas trying to establish elk back in the state. We have over a 1,000 head in the state of Texas that are free ranging.

They don't notice a whole lot, especially with it being just a penny.

The difference in the second half was two-fold. We executed better, and we made good use of our game plan, which was to score quick on the opening drive and take the wind out of their sails.

Texas is a pretty free state.

It's a truism to say that my state, Texas, isn't a red state: It's a nonvoting state.
