The House flexed its muscle a little last night as there was a vote to overrule a decision by the Speaker. Rarely done and even more rarely successful, I'm sure people were riveted to the debate. Me? After three margaritas at Guero's I was not distracted by the legislature.
There is such little drama to this session without some of our favorites around (Miss you Mary Denny and Gunslinger Hupp!) and no big fights over homos, parental consent (yet) and education and taxes. A little floor fight as the session starts its final stretch brings people to the bleechers for some entertainment at last. It's about time we had a little up there. After all, really, what is the legislature good for?

I loved how at the very end when Turner was asking everyone to sit down there were a ring of mafia hitmen around Craddick..Kolkhursts, Branch, Gattis...they all looked scared.
