The people have spoken by electing majority Republicans statewide and only the Dems stranglehold on redistricting has kept us from a majority in the House.

Yep ! And in November 2004, we will speak LOUD and CLEAR, sending 4-6 MORE GOP to the U.S. House !! (This should be interesting to see how things go in the Senate on this issue now).

Hey, Grampa, Lowbridge ! Check out some of lovely Texas 'RATS. These are some of those that ran away to Ardmore.

Now look what they're doin' !!!:



As King began his argument for the new congressional boundaries Monday afternoon, about 30 Democrats in the gallery donned white socks as hand puppets to mock King. Every time he spoke, the little white mouths flapped.

What a brainy bunch. What are they supposed to be communicating?

That's about as effective as taking your clothes off to protest war.

hehe ! Isn't that something? I suppose that's in reference to Tom Delay - King being the 'puppet-mouth' of Tom Delay ?

Pretty childish, alright !

"This is fruitless," said Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston . . . "I wish I was in Ardmore."

I wish you were in Ardmore too, Turquoise, er Emerald, I mean Garnet.

I uploaded that image to my website. That one will croak after a few months, based on my past experience.

Liberals always wear a scowl. When they smile it looks forced.

The American media is a laughingstock- there is no notion of serious, unbiased journalism. NY Times, CNN, virtually every city newspaper just reeks of bias. It's an embarassment and will hopefully led to congressional media reform which emphasizes accountibility and transparency.

Just a bunch of whiney children.

That would have been a good laugh to see I wish I'd had time to go downtown and watch it.

But it may have been close to the feeding frenzy at Denny's in Ardmore.
