That Voter ID thing is fascinating. I covered that for years as a statehouse reporter. Over, and over, and over again. Including when Sen. Mario Gallegos was in the back chamber on a stretcher, fresh from liver transplant, waiting on his gurney to make sure Dewhurst didn't call it up for a vote on the floor.

Awesome. I always loved this debate. And Betty Brown, who spearheads it. Yikes. Look HER up some time.

Excellent entry. I used to see those signs on the freeway near El Paso and also near Laredo. I always thought it was a little derogatory.. Plus it also shows them running and ducking. Classy.

My connection was actually fine - but i wasn't using 3G on my iPhone, since it's always killed my phone's performance as a, you know, PHONE. I turned off the 3G as soon as I got the phone in october, and i haven't turned it on since. And mine worked great.

Per reporter Jenny Hoff, looks like they've called a point of order on hearing bec they've changed the time. That Rodney Ellis, man. He's on top of it.
