I used to like Al Green.

Was this before or after the drugs?

Here are my two simple messages for Texas Republicans.

1) “Carry On.”

2) “Faster, Please.”

Squiggly boundaries on districts, drawn by either party, should be banned forever.

Districts should have all straight lines except where they hit water. Squares and rectangles only.

“Districts should have all straight lines except where they hit water. Squares and rectangles only.”

Contiguous with the borders of other political boundaries as much as possible.

Note that many boundaries follow natural features like rivers and the Divides of mountain ranges.

If you want to examine a case of “straight”, just look at the western boundary of South Dakota vs. the bordering States of Wyo. and Mont. [Apparently a one mile offset is due to 2D surveying issues on a spheroid. US Surveyors in the old days tended to push accumulated errors to the NorthWest corner...]

You must have studied civics as you understand that there is no requirement that a member of Congress must reside in the boundaries of his or her district. The only requirement is that the persons live within their states.

Crockett attended law school, was licensed as an attorney, and serves in Congress, but she did not know the rules.

No Worries!

She will repeat the move the right Reverend Jesse “Show Me The Money” Jackson chose. He became the “shadow” DC Senator. Perhaps Jazzy can become the “shadow” Senator from Liberia.

One of my favorite memories of the right Reverend is when he was “ministering” to Billy Jeff Clinton after the Blue Dress blues set in. There is a photo of Billy Jeff, the Reverend, and next to the Reverend, a very pregnant lady. What the photo description left out was 1) yes, Reverend, you are the father, and 2) that is not his wife.
