... Is anyone else here miffed at the Republicans' reaction to Obama's choice for a new Sec Def? I mean, if they really wanted to embarrass the US, then they're succeeding. And yes, I am giving you the stink-eye, Ted Cruz. It is a rare day that I agree with much of anything John McCane has to say.
I sincerely hope that the Texas Republicans keep going the route they've been going. It'll be so wonderful to see the Hispanic backlash at the next set of elections. At least this batch in the Texas State Senate is looking to undo a lot of harm the last Senate did. Like pouring funding back into education and tapping the Rainy Day Fund for infrastructure improvements. This is why we do not like super-majorities. And on that note, I eagerly anticipate the carnage that Oklahoma is about to inflict on itself. It should prove, once and for all, just how bad of an idea the Republican platform of austerity and tax cuts really is. Sure, we've had Europe to go by so far, but apparently there's this idea that it'll work just fine here in the US. Different culture and all. Heh. Interesting times, indeed.
