  1. And to boot, this is from Austin's "alternative paper"--you know, the kind that makes the mainstream media (in the most liberal city in Texas) look downright conservative. Grrrrr!

    Yes, it's obviously Photoshopped, but "t'aint the pint, Woodrow" (as Augustus McCrae, my favorite fictional Texan, would say)

  2. I understand; it's not funny when it comes dangerously close to real life.

    I believe the paper is parodying the following National Lampoon cover:

    (And yes, they really ran that cover.)

  8. Me neither--but oh! how they will promote being vegan, among other "alternative lifestyles," and push gun control.

    Put your money where your mouth is, Austin Chronicle! I will be watching to see how many letters to the editor critical of this cover that they print.

  10. What a sick cover. Both of them. I hope a lot of people in Austin complain. That is the type of thing I would not want my kids to see. Frosts my chaps too Gata!
