The box of rocks you could use to decorate your yard or build a fence. The soap you can use to clean up a hippie or two. The bag of hammers you could use to build a house or a few houses. SLJ, No use what so ever.

Uh, yes. The bar of soap is formerly-animate organic hydrocarbons potentially capable of intelligence. The others, much less so or not at all.

Sheila would rank between the box of rocks and the bag of hammers.

....nope, hadn’t heard of them.

Hmmm. All have been notorious at one time or another. McKinney is infamous. Sounds like selective memory to me. Or tactical lying.

[Art.] ....Page 14 gives the Federal Government Control over the money spent on education in Texas, stipulating that Texas must spend, in the future, no less than the highly stimulus-inflated dollar figure to be spent in 2011.

Unconstitutional on its face. Won't survive the very first court test.

even if those snakes were hatched around these parts.

Sheila Jackson-Lee is from Jamaica Queens, New York (Long Island) by way of Yale. She came down to Houston, worked for Exxon for 10 years, and then began running for office(s), starting with a judgeship run in 1984.

And in case anyone forgot ..... Jamaica is Al Sharpton's turf.

I once took a ride on an airliner out in West Texas and fell into conversation with a well-dressed man who turned out to be a rancher living out there. He told me about his own congresscritter and how, like so many others, he was a Yalie who'd come west (like Mr. G.H.W. Bush) and wound up running for office.

It seems that Yale faculty make a cottage industry of pointing their graduates west and encouraging them to go "out there", seize leadership, and run for Congress -- to "improve the representation" from those hick districts. in college textbooks, this is called cultural imperialism: imposing the worldview of elite Eastern Slope colleges on the People of the United States.

Sounds like a good case for an amendment to the Constitution, barring anyone with an Ivy League degree from public life.

The only upside is that she is generally as ineffective as she is stupid.

Absurd??? Let's see...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the smokes...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the SUV's...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for real automobiles...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the public schools...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for a peak at, and picture of, genitals at airports...

It was initially thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the the world's best health-care...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the Internet...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for the taxes directly out of the paycheck...

It was thought, initially, to be absurd when they came for 20-to-30 million as-yet-unborn human beings...

IMHO, I find SJ's suggestion less than absurd and more of a portent of the future.

This on the heals of the conservative victory of what will be taught in our schools.

Spill chuck is knot you're fiend. Good thing the article wasn't about education.

Oh, never mind.

There was one that came close. It banned anyone in public service that had a title of nobility or honor.

It's my understanding it was written specifically to keep lawyers and bankers out of public office.

It's called the missing [or original] 13th Amendment.

How the hell would Jackson Lee know. She most likely can’t read.
