The Burnt Orange Report: News Politics, and Fun from Deep in the Heart of Texas
For color and flavor you can't beat the Texas State Legislature.
Short version:
The Texas GOP is trying to re-redistrict the state's congressional delegation. This is Tom DeLay's baby.
The GOP has majorities in both Texas houses. However, a 2/3 quorum is required.
Sooooo....
53 Democratic legislators have "disappeared" and state troopers are out looking for them. Most are believed holed up at the Ardmore, Oklahoma Holiday Inn.
Even if you don't know the names and faces, this whole thing is worth the read...
