September 21, 2003, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite

Mr. Kite, Mr. Kuffner... you think its EASY keeping to the Beatles title format, day in, day out?...

Anyway, from Off the Kuff, we have a blogburst as to suggestions about what Texas Democrats should do next. Personally, I think registering every human being in the State of Texas otherwise eligible to vote to vote is the way to go; most people, if they are, in fact, human beings, tend to prefer the Democratic platform to that of Tom the Exterminator-- and I would bet that's true in Texas.

Maybe that's just me. To me, the problems of Texas are not dissimilar to problems of, say, Nigeria, Venezuela, Indonesia or the Middle East: oil is a highly corrupting industry (as are many extractive industry), as it concentrates inconceivable amounts of wealth in the hands of a few; when those few have lost any and all sense of "noblesse oblige" and want nothing other than to consolidate their power, well... see above, re: problems of Nigeria, Venezuela, etc. Hence, an immensely wealthy state with, for example, a fabulous public university, has a rather, well, generally less than fabulous education system otherwise.

Ultimately, I suspect whatever gerrymandering results from the sell-out by that one Texas state senator (check him for trips to Switzerland over the next year or two, unless de Lay had members of his family kidnapped-- which I certainly don't put past this lot) will be challenged in the courts, so, there will be some paring back of the legislative outrages. But not enough; there was an intrinsic social contract between the parties-- and the current de Lay and Rove led lot only believes in one doctrine: winning at any cost. Well, I can't stomach that in a democracy based on compromise and rights of the minority, but that's just me!

Either way, check out the sound political analysis that Charles Kuffner and his thoughtful commentators have put together on this.

Extraction industry...by God--that's it!
And to think I thought Texans were just assholes....

I mentioned this the other day, but I think the political solution du jour is for everyone not already registered as a member of the Republican Party to register themselves immediately.

The Democrats, at least in Texas, are a moot point. So lets all go take over the Republican Party and throw out the fringe lunatics from the far "religious" "right."

No fooling, I really think this could work.

I am in a moral quandry.
My friend searches for http://cheating.any1in.us/detective-agencies.html detective agencies on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://cheating.any1in.us/investigations.html investigations and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://detectives.any1in.us/foster.html foster were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://detectives.any1in.us/adopted.html adopted ?
