Book Me, Jesus




Next county over is Brewster. It's the biggest county (area) in the second largest state in the Lower 48. County seat is Alpine, Texas. It's wide wonderful West Texas and includes most of the Big Bend region. Alpine has Sul Ross State University.
And the Brewster County Sheriff, Ronnie Dodson, has been allowing his deputies to stick crosses on their official black-and-white vehicles. The Brewster County DA has said he's all for it. Seems stunning to me. That means that the civil power in West Texas is coming at you wearing the symbol of one religion. Come on. It is clearly, fundamentally a violation of the separation of church and state. This is America, right? No mullahs here. It's fine if cops are religious, but we don't want Religion Police. Follow the story on KRTS, "Radio for a Wide Range".
