53 pounds of packed cocaine found on Texas beach
Wednesday, May 6, 2009
SABINE PASS, Texas - Beachcombers found more than seashells while strolling on a Texas beach: two dozen neatly wrapped packages of cocaine.

Jefferson County Sheriff's Lt. Troy Tucker said drug smugglers have been known to use freighters and the cocaine may have been kicked overboard to avoid detection.

The sheriff's department was working with federal agencies Wednesday to try to determine the source of the 53 pounds (24 kilograms) of cocaine, worth about $500,000.

KFDM-TV reported the cocaine was found Tuesday west of Sea Rim State Park, in the Sabine Pass area.

It was found by people looking for debris, such as metal, that washes ashore. Their names weren't released.

It was probably being shipped to the Bush ranch, and Obama wanted a few toots before it got there.

It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.
