If wishing made it so ...

 So I see the GOP in the state of Texas (motto: Where Dumb Goes To Live Forever, Like Dracula) has adopted a resolution stating that Joe Biden "was not legitimately elected," and that he therefore should be referred to as "acting President" and not "President."

Which I guess means it's the Texas GOP's position that fairy tales are real and should be taught in our schools as science-based fact. 

(Also, on a grimmer note, that Joseph Goebbels was right when he said if you tell a big enough lie and repeat it often enough, people will eventually believe it.)

In any case, this got me wondering what other realities Texans might decide aren't realities, now that the state GOP has shown them what is possible. And, because the Blob is mostly a sports Blob, it's those possibilities that come most readily to mind.

And so, humbly, the Blob presents Texas Republicans with a few more resolutions for its consideration:

* That it is hereby resolved the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl last year, and that in fact they have won a DOZEN Super Bowls, WAY more than any other team. And that this is why they are the GREATEST  FOOTBALL TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL TEAMS.

* That it is also resolved any team who claims to have "beaten" the Cowboys in the playoffs did not legitimately do so, and that there is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS. And that is why NFL playoff integrity is of paramount concern to the Texas GOP, until of course the Cowboys win again.

* That it is hereby resolved Nick Saban is a lying, cheating son of a biscuit, and how dare he say bad stuff about our A&M Aggies, and he is therefore declared to be an Enemy of the State. OK, so just our state, but you catch the drift.

* That it is hereby resolved that A.J. Foyt Jr., a loyal and revered son of Texas, in fact won SEVEN Indianapolis 500s, not four, and that anyone who says otherwise is either a BIG POOPY LIAR or Roger Penske, who everyone knows CHEATED HIS GLUTES OFF to win those eleventy-hundred 500s or however many it is.

* That it is also hereby resolved A.J. would have won EIGHT 500s if it weren't for that damn Coogan.

* That it is hereby resolved Notre Dame didn't legitimately beat the Texas Longhorns in the 1970 Cotton Bowl, or in the 1977 Cotton Bowl, or on any of the other seven occasions the Fighting Irish supposedly beat the Horns. There is AMPLE PROOF of scoreboard fraud in ALL NINE of the Irish "victories," and so heretofore Notre Dame will be designated the "acting winner" in those games and not the "winner."

* That it is also hereby resolved the Longhorns did not get "lucky" to beat Arkansas in their 1969 Game of the Century, which is what they say in Arkansas but who cares what those hayseeds in Arkansas say.

And, finally ...

* That anyone who says the Houston Astros "did not legitimately win" the 2017 World Series is also just a big poopy liar, because the Astros DID NOT EITHER cheat, and that therefore baseball integrity is not a priority for the Texas GOP because ... well, because it's just not, OK?

So there.
