Hey Dan

I love politics. It is the best entertainment there is. If you have not heard the democratic members of the Texas House went feral this week. The republicans have a majority in the Texas House and decided to do a little redistricting. In other words chop any democratic district into pieces and add it to a larger republican district. Thus making very difficult for the democratic party to keep the seats they have in the US House of Representatives.

The democrats had little options, it look as if this would be railroaded though. So they went walkies. Yes the played hooky, cut class, took a hike, voted with their feet… you get the idea. They took a trip to Oklahoma. Thus denying the republicans a quorum. The republicans for their part decided to fight ignorance and stupidity with even more ignorance and stupidity. They called the department of home land security and LIED! They said there hard been a plane crash and the state police needed some help tracking down some Texas House members. Odd the department of home land security watches CNN, and knew what was going on, odd that for a security agency.

Well by Texas House rules no more votes can be taken this year after May 15th, so sadly out wayward politicians vacation to Oklahoma is over. I tell you it just does not get any better then this… wonder if the Oklahoma tourism board knows about this.

Follow up... you have got to be kidding.
