Stupid Legislature
I got this from Susan DuQuesnay's website, Juanitas, which is on www.Brazosriver.com. This is a great website, very funny, but with a lot of useful info also.

Dumbest Legislature yet? At least it's providing plenty of funny material
Sunday, May 08, 2005
I'm thinking this might be the stupidest Legislature the state of Texas has ever enjoyed.
I really can't recall a session in which more inanities were discussed and less important business has been accomplished. We're a couple elephants short of a circus, but we've got more than our quota of clowns. . .
John, what do you expect? With Delay clones Craddick and that other feller from Midland in charge. We should be happy its not worse.
What's next ? A two-hour debate on a bill that would make it illegal for a fat topless dancer to sue Burger King for a Whopper because she can't touch her toes? Is it any wonder Texas has become a national punch line?
Thanks, Susan, for referring me to this column from the Austin-American Statesman.
What does the Texas Legislature have to do with Delay and Bush? Delay, through his Texans for a Republican Majority fund was instrumental in getting Craddick elected speaker. Because of Bush's tax cuts for the rich while he was governor, the state doesn't have the money to operate. The pols are afraid to do the logical thing, which would be to enact a state income tax.

Yes, our legislature has reached an all time low. I'm sure you've heard about how the House added an amendment to SB6, the funding/CPS bill that states gay/lesbian couples can no longer serve as foster parents for a child under the state's protection, and if such couple currently provides for a child, they must give up the child. You would think that as many children in the world today that need a good, loving home with support, we would allow anyone willing to provide these things the opportunity. I personally love the argument that "It might turn the children gay." Last time I checked, each gay/lesbian came from a heterosexual relationship . . . also ask yourself, when was the last time I met a mean, hateful gay/lesbian???
schlitz, thanks for your comment. seems like Texas is morphing into Salem in the 1600's.
