Your governor is remarkably corrupt. He must think his seat is totally safe.

Yeah, saw this. I posted to you on another thread that I'm not opposed to tax break. The problem is that Davis was OPPOSED to this UNTIL his chief fundraiser, Darius Anderson, became their lobbyist.
Whatta Scam!
Dump Davis!

I keep expecting those two cherubic hands to turn around and two other fingers to extend upward in our direction!!!

The picture that I'm posting is for his fellow Rat Sheeple.
The picture that you are describing is for the rest of us!
I can't wait until someone with good Graphic Arts skills does what you suggest with this picture. Huh, guys getting pinged?
I ONLY GOT THIS MUCH FROM ENRON. NOT ENOUGH TO CORRUPT ME!
$117,000 ISN'T MUCH TO BUY A GREAT GOVERNOR LIKE ME!
