Southern Hospitality

The flurry of blog-posting continues unabated as I find two articles that I wish to share in the course of a week! Hold on to your hats, folks!

Anyways, in a move that can only be described as "awesome," the Texas House took away the vast majority of Gov. Rick Perry's office budget to try and fund various projects, mostly mental health services and veteran's services. The article says that this is likely to be undone down the road, but hey, it's still funny.

But seriously, secession? Really? I can't add any more to what's already been said about the absurdity of the tea party nonsense, but it's just unbelievable that we have people carrying racist signs, complaining about the tax rate returning to Clinton era levels and refusing to take stimulus money to help out people in their states. And to top it all off, we have people out there who, apparently, seem to think that the solution is to secede. Fair enough.
