Pushing Buttons
I love to push buttons. It’s much easier to do with Austin liberals than with anybody else I know. Tonight at dinner I upset quite a few with my declaration that should tear down Las Manitas or whatever it is and build a Marriott. You would think I had suggested that we eat their [...]

Mr. Manager, Open this Stall!
Mark Strama filed legislation today that would let anyone with a pressing medical condition use employee-only restrooms. The article talks about a 10-year old girl, Catherine Wicker, who has ulcerative colitis, a disease that causes severe cramping and diarrhea.

A Future First Family Portrait?
The Christmas Card from John Edwards arrived via email (which is a tacky way to send a Christmas greeting, btw). Wishing me a happy holiday, the Edwards family thoughtfully included a picture of their daughter in a skirt that is entirely too short for a family portrait.

State officials altered records, pressured witnesses and delayed an investigation into whether the state health department improperly used lobbyists to push legislation in 2005, according to a state investigative report.
The governor postponed an investigation to give them a chance to do a proper cover up, but apparently they lack the skills of [...]

Craddick has to turn his calendar over
(See our previous post.)
Travis County District judge Margaret Cooper has told Craddick that he has to provide a portion of his 2003 (January to June) calendar to the court by mid-January 2007. Will his work with DeLay and TRMPAC be on there? Things aren’t looking too promising for Craddick in 2007 so far.

Fox News will probably soon be also
Jossip watches Fox News so we don’t have to. It seems a Fox News reporter considers the two still-lost mountain climbers pretty much. . . well, you know. It rhymes with “lucked”.

Why do Democrats Hate Autistic Children?
That’s the question Sen. Shapiro hopes to hear ringing across the state during the upcoming session.
Because they can’t get vouchers passed any other way, Shapiro is proposing a smaller school choice program that will only apply to autistic children. That’ll be a fun vote to try and explain away should it actually reach the [...]
