The Dems school finance proposal was defeated by a vote of 75-74 today. As usual, it was Tom Craddick’s vote that broke a tie on the measure. Twelve Republicans voted for the Dems plan, showing maybe a sign that there is some ‘let’s work together’ sentiment going on up there during the Special.

Well, this photo is making the email rounds in the Capitol today.
And UT Baseball Coach Augie Garrido came on the floor with the rest of the UT baseball team, said a lot of nice things about Texas baseball, and said, “I’d just like to add that you can never spend too much on education”

Kinky Friedman took time out from his book signing to speak a little truth.

That’s Greek for Finance Public Education. Since our brains are pickled from too much gin, Greek makes about as much sense to us as the school finance plans put forth by everybody.

Carole Keeton Strayhorn says Perry’s school finance proposal falls short and will create a big ass gap come 2008. (Big ass is defined as anything over $2 billion dollars, FYI) and Perry’s Pit Bull Kathy Walt wakes up from a nap and says, “Whoa! That is so like totally a lie.”

Uhm, apparently ‘eop.gov’ is some sort of domain that comes from within the White House. Guess that explains the how this search term came to PinkDome: “shrunken testicles”
So, if you have something in particular to say to the White House comment away. But, keep it legal and nothing we’ll wind up getting a knock on [...]
