The Ridiculist

If you're like me, you have always thought one thing about public universities in Texas. They are too anti-straight people. Thank goodness that state house representative Wayne Christian, sponsored by the Young Conservatives of Christian, created a new law for any public universities in Texas that if they have funding for "alternative" centers that promote information and awareness for the LGBT community, they must now provide equal funding for a "traditional" center. This bill passed the Texas house by a 110-24 vote. Let's be clear about this. This is a slap in the face of the LGBT community by the Republican lawmakers in Texas. It is amazing to me that in 2011 we still have states in our union that are this bigoted. The goal is not to actually provide funding for a traditional center but limit any funding for the young LGBT community. Sigh.

1. Beer of the week: Samuel Adams Summer Wheat. Absolutely delicious and a bargain for $9.99 for 12.

2. I saw the movie Water for Elephants this weekend. I liked it. I give it a B. I have not actually seen Robert Pattinson act (I have not seen any of the Twilight movies) and it turns out the guy actually does have some real talent. Good story, good writing, and a solid movie. I wouldn't necessarily say you have to rush out today to see it but definitely rent it if you have a chance.

3. Please google Skyline Chili. That was my lunch today.
