I would add W. C. Brann to the Texas journalists killed in America. But what really gets my blood boiling is using Texas Emergency Fund money for a stupid fence that won't work (and never has) instead of going to the energy grid repair. I'm ready to go over to his mansion and turn up his thermostat. And you keep putting the pressure on those idiots in our statehouse.

Absolutely brilliant, James! I'm OLD, and remember my father being SO ANGRY about Parr and LBJ. (He never ever voted, even in Presidential elections.) And I wonder what he would think now, with Trump's team doing everything they could to overturn a legitimate election? Would he be proud of the political work I have done? I think so. Faces and parties change. At least LBJ did helpful things. My German/Irish/French/English father, whose ancestors fought in the American Revolution, wept with joy when the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts both passed. We were, in his words, on our way to becoming that "more perfect union". Even though it was LBJ who did it. What did Trump do? Thanks for this gem.
