I'll let you know when there's going to be a fun hearing. I mean, this week's hearings will be sort of fun, but they're going to be long with punctuated periods of fun. though the first topic (ROBOTS) on Wednesday should be pretty entertaining.

I'd invite you to watch the 1 pm meeting, but it's on HB20 and that takes a lot of back story to understand. the meeting is going to be basically about TxDOT bitching that the commissioner now has to sign off on all contracts of $1 million or larger.

the chair is the only white Democrat from El Paso (they're all Dems) and he has his office set up like a movie theater lobby. it's weird. he also got into one of the more entertaining spats with Stickland last session.

No, just that the memory cards couldn't upload to the main computer or something, so the tabulators for those polling sites had to input the data from the paper backups. So it was an accurate, but slower, count.

Not THIS veteran. Nor many that I know. I think your polls may suggest that, but if you look a little deeper, I suspect the further most veterans gets from his discharge, the more they move away from that mindset. At least those who didn't enlist in the first place because they were attracted to the authoritarianism. Those are the people who cause problems, both in the military AND the police. They're also the loudest.

Sunsets? Are they for or against them? Or is this just a backdoor attempt to revive geocentricism since that's in the bibble?

North Carolina isn't good enough to use a bat'leth for ritual combat.

Also, too, since I'm too mentally raw at the moment to watch the video, was there any sign of a gun being held to McCrory's head when he said all North Caroliners should support the new governor? Because I just feel like that might have been a thing.

it's like a death panel for state agencies.
