Song of the Day 5/27: Ray Wiley Hubbard, “Screw You, We’re From Texas”

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes the assholes. Given the choice between the old-school conservative Cornyn and the amoral MAGAt Paxton, of course Texas Republicans overwhelmingly chose Paxton. Democrats are happy about it because it seems to give James Talorico a shot at the impossible dream of winning a statewide race.

This tune from outlaw-country pioneer Ray Wiley Hubbard about sums up the state, admitting its many faults while praising its food and music, and it includes a dismissive mention of Delaware to boot. It originally appeared on his album “Growl,” which came out in 2003, dozens of scummy Texas politicians ago.
