A LETTER TO THE TEXAS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION

DISCLAIMER: Not an actual letter, but a commentary

CONGRESSMAN BURGESS, HERE IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILL

NFL OWNERS MEETING

The NFL Owner's Meeting is going on right now in Orlando, FL. One of the items that are going to be discussed is the changing of the overtime rules for the playoffs. The competition committee approved to send the recommendation to the owners. In order for the measure to pass, it needs approval from three-fourths (24 out of 32) of the owners.

HEALTH CARE VOTE

I was not expecting to post a political blog for quite a while, but because of the Health Care Vote today it is getting moved up. I am currently watching the debate and vote online through c-span.org.

On Saturday, the Tea Bagging movement showed their true colors towards the end. If you think this is the last time we will see these fools, think again. Wait until the debate for Immigration Reform.

Over the winter I heard a spoken word reading of A Christmas Carol. There is a line that sums up those on the side of anti-reform.

TWILIGHT (PROBABLY NOT THE FIRST RANT AGAINST IT, NOR THE LAST)

It has been a while since I ranted about something. Right now I am working on some new ones. In particular, one about the Texas State Board of Education and their decision to eliminate historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson from history text books (REALLY… WTF?!).

TEXAS PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Sorry I am behind in my postings, but I stand by my decision to get an introduction written up. Plus I have school going on as well.

The first blog: a political one. No surprise.
