Texas Legislature is in session

I hear the first item on the agenda is repealing the tax on hairspray. I hypothesize that the reason why the State of Texas has failed to solve its school finance crisis is because of the dangerous chemicals found in Governor Rick Perry's hair. It is seeping through his scalp and altering his brain chemistry, thus making his ideas stupid.

I hope they pass the English only law. After all, if it was good enough for Jesus, then it ought to be good enough for Texans as well. Frankly, I am tired of all of these Mexicans contributing to the economy in Spanish. If they are going to earn money, spend money, and do jobs at lower wages, then they ought to speak English.

Can we please get rid of the court system. They are standing in the way of progress. If Governor Perry wants to pillage the Teacher Retirement Fund to help pay for his cronies to build stuff we do not need, then he ought to be able to do so without fear of retribution in court. Besides, you know Governor Perry is going to make sure those teachers earn more after his School Finance Bill is finally passed. That is if we can get the chemicals out of his hair.

Whatever the legislature does, I hope they can carry on this Speaker showdown on for a few more weeks. It has been a good distraction from the problems that face the state.
