ahhh, texas politics....you got to love them....where else will you find the governor calling a special session of legislature, solely for the purpose of redistricting, when redistricting was killed during regular session...this would be stupid by itself, but when you add in the massive cuts forced by deficit in everything except their fucking salaries, and the fact that other than the house majority leader and the governor, no one seems unhappy with the lines as they are....but wait, it gets better...a few foolish congressmen thought they would try and use the time to take care of some silly things like school funding, pollution control and such, and were slapped silly for thinking of anything other than redwrawing the district map....with about a week left in the session, it looks as if things are deadlocked....what does our governor say to this...i'll call another special session if i have to...at a couple of million dollars per session, got to wonder who takes it up the ass this time...they already screwed the elderly, children, and mentally ill...hrmmm, i'm sure there is some deserving group to screw, perhaps child protective services, or veterans will be the victim....i say if the hard line republicans want it so bad, then let them pay for it....maybe they can fund it with out of bushes reelection war chest...after all we sure a hell don't want, or need him getting 4 more years to ruin the world(but that is a whole rant by itself)...the only sure thing i see coming from all this, is that these morons are pissing off their own constituents in addition to the rest of us
