(no subject)

You never feel quite so foolish as when you spend three days looking all over for your Walkman, and then discover that it's been in your purse the entire time.

Actually, scratch that. There was the time I was looking for my glasses when I was actually wearing them.

You think California politics are screwy?

Come to Texas! Where the Republicans are in such complete control that the Democrats have had to flee to prevent an unconstitutional redistricting session that would screw over poorer and Democratic districts. The redistricting's real motive (there was a redistricting two years ago, and it's supposed to be done right after the Census every ten years) is so the Reps will have enough votes to overturn a recent ruling that said that the time-honored Texas institution of funding education through local property taxes didn't result in "equal education for all" as guaranteed by the Texas Constitution. Come to Texas! Where the Republicans are in such complete control that nobody really notices that the Democrats are holed up in New Mexico with arrest warrants out against them. Where the Republicans are in such complete control that the newspaper publishes editorials supporting the Republicans' side because nobody turns out for elections or bothers with the actual issues except the NRA and the occassional oh-my-god-they-want-to-raise-my-taxes?!-how-dare-they-want-money-for-schools-and-roads?
