Well, thanks, lil jimi, that is what Killer Bees was all about ... about 10 years ago; but I could not have described it with the 2/3 majority info (or whatever you said)! I no longer have my finger on the pulse of the legislature.

I know there is also the issue of legislation that has to do with cutting the Children's Insurance Program, about which one legislator (Republican) said "Well, maybe this will convince their parents to go back to their private health insurance..."

AS IF !!!!!!

Then, followed up by a legislator (Republican) who said there were churches and other agencies like that to help the kids who fell between the cracks. A lovely image, to be sure.

While, at the same time, they are approving 10 million for corporate giveaways (attract business to Texas, that would naturally be good for the Repubs), and ... oh, dang, I'm having a senior moment, another bill that was similar in nature.

If anyone wants names, I'll have to look up the article I read about it, which is at work, so it'll be Monday before I can get names for those fine figgers of politicians.

In Texas, there are yellow dog Democrats. That means we'd vote for a yellow dog if that was the only Democratic candidate. Well, I'm one of those, and the recent performance of the Texas legislature is how come.

It puts me in mind of a political cartoon I've mentioned here before. A D.C. politico-government type is being 'grilled' by the senate. The senator is saying "I thought your administration said it would not balance the budget on the back of the poor man."

The grillee replies, "Excuse me, Senator, but I believe these cuts will mainly affect women and children." Welcome to the new Texas.

Hey, Jimi, Hi from Austin!

Shar
