By Tom Myers Those who know me know I am not one to write at length about small issues. Sure, I may be disappointed that the desk chair I bought a year ago is already starting to fall apart. Pieces of leather on it may already be peeling and falling off and it may look […]
Myers: Response to Delegates McDonough and Impallaria
The following was submitted by Tom Myers, a comedian and frequent Dagger contributor, as a response to previous posts made by Delegates McDonough and Impallaria.

Myers: Deep in the Mind of Texas
By Tom Myers One of the things I like about the state of Texas is they often claim that they are not a part of the United States. It is interesting to note that a good portion of what is now Texas was part of Mexico until we annexed it on February 2, 1848 in […]
