Today is the last day of the get-to-gether over in Austin, Texas. Every other year Texans send their state representatives to the capital to do as little as possible. That is why it lasts less than half a year every two years. Texans had it right in 1836 and if it aint broke it don’t need fixin’.
It is down to the wire for passing the Guns on Campus bill which would not allow Texas state universities to keep concealed weapons off their campuses. This is one is of course wildly popular issues down here in Dumbutt. After all, no one wants party crashers horning in on their keg parties without paying their fair share, i.e. socialism. And of course a few teachers – mostly those against these very kind of well thought out and fair minded gun laws – could use a few bullets flying over their heads to scare them back to New York where the came from.
But the big issue today is that the Senate Democrats have enough votes to oust State Board of Education chairman Dentist Don McLeroy who is – to put it kindly – a moron. Who BTW, also looks like a moron. McLeroy is an old school creationist who believes the world was created in one fell swoop 6005 years ago and wishes to control the textbooks to reflect that believe. To question not only science but anything that smacks of teaching our 4 million Texas Students much of anything from the outside world. Mainly to keep our children from respecting for other people and other religions from outside Texas. More on Don McLeroy
It all sounds like something intelligent is coming out of Austin rather than more guns and less Mexicans but for …
In his primary race to beat Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson for the upcoming Governor’s race, Governor Rick Perry has let it be known that if the Democrats do manage to oust Mr. McLeroy, he will immediately appoint Cynthia Dunbar to take his place as chairwoman of the State Board of Education. Ms. Dunbar – is even more of a moron that Mr. McLeroy. More on Cynthia Dunbar.
Governor Perry knows instinctively that Texas Republicans want proven and verifiable morons responsible for the education of our children down here in Dumbutt, after all, that is why he got the votes to become Governor. More on the State Board of Education Houston Chronicle.
