This happens to be the Texas legislature but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens elsewhere as well.
Welcome to the circus!!

It's almost like they are walking around to operate slot machines. Very funny.

The lowest point in Texas Legislature history was the time Bo Pilgrim (the chicken guy) stood on the floor and handed out $10,000 campaign donations to legislators who voted his way on a bill that gutted unemployment benefits.
Yes, ten thousand dollars.
Not exactly subtle, was it?

Is this comedy? It sure is hilarious!

Otofoot. I've read much of Molly Ivin's writing about Texas government so it's probably real.
Either way, it's funny.

Hi Granny,
Why am I not surprised about this? I think the best truths are the ones that can make you laugh and cry at the same time.
BTW: Howcome you've turned off anonymous comments (just curious)?

Texas is noted for many things; honesty is not among them.
