HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here's to another year of ruthlessly mocking our duly-elected political leaders! Especially ones named Rob Orr (artist's conception shown above).

Prepare the Standard "Rich and Famous" Contract...

Long-time visitors to this blog (both of you. Hi, mom!) will be pleased to know that I have today inked a contract to syndicate my newspaper column through CNHI (Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.), the fine folks who own the Cleburne Times-Review. Yes, now readers from North Andover, Massachusetts to Americus, Georgia, to Ottumwa, Iowa can thrill to my smart-alecky commentary and lame jokes. Since it seems likely that the good people of Mankato, Minnesota aren't particularly interested in the fact that Rob Orr is a bootlicking sycophant devoid of the common sense God bestowed on the lowly grubworm, some weeks I will be writing two columns, one on local or Texas issues for the Times-Review and another on national or international events for the syndicate. Both, of course, will be uploaded here for your edification and amusement. All of you trolls here on the blog, please don't frighten the Midwesterners. And before y'all ask, no, they still aren't paying me anything. Further updates as events warrant.

Rob Orr Accidentally Blunders Into Issue

Spokesflunky ghost-excretes inane, rambling press release promising a government study to discover why repeatedly underfunding the Department of Parks & Wildlife leads mysteriously to less money for that agency. Orr pledges to end the "crisis in our state parks" by paving them over as part of the Trans Texas Cash Trough. Observers voice amazement that Orr appeared to be actually speaking, even though Speaker of the House Tom Craddick was drinking a glass of water!

More Evidence of the Vast Blogofascist Conspiracy

Somervell County Salon blogs one of my newspaper columns that was inspired in part by a blog entry from...Somervell County Salon.
Yes, Mr. Orr; you were right all along. We ARE all in on this together. Mwahahhahahahahhah!! Oh, and you're also still a lickspittle minion.

Texans Smarter than Governor, Lege

From the Burnt Orange Report, a recent poll sponsored by the TSTA shows that Texans believe improving education is more important than cutting property taxes by a 3-1 margin. Memo to Rob Orr: now might be a good time to stop representing Highland Park and actually represent your district.

Laundering YOUR Tax Dollars

Call Rob Orr at 817-295-5158 and ask him if he thinks it's okay to turn taxpayer dollars into political contributions for Tom DeLay. Even by the admittedly low standards of Texas politics, this is pretty bad.
