Apparently 23% of Texans still think Obama is Muslim. Hey, um, 23% of Texans? First of all, how dumb are you? and second of all, even if he was Muslim, so fucking what? and third of all, you suck.

Dear Internet,
If you ever loved me, you will watch Pushing Daisies a bunch so it doesn’t get canceled and I can avoid a repeat of the dark, drunken day of November 11, 2006.
Love and delicious pies,
