News and Notes...

Ok have been to busy to really post much the past few weeks, what with personal and work issues mounting up. But now that I have had time to catch my breath, several things of note have happened.

1) Not at all surprised that the Republicans lost both houses of Congress, they deserve it after ignoring the hue and cry from the red states on issues like border security, clarification of the War on Terror, and the fact that they were acting like liberals.

2) Texas and Houston elections did not suprise me much. Came out about how I felt they would, and now we get to see if Perry, Dewhurst, and Cradick have heard the message that we are not happy campers.

3) I really think Perry's future in politics will hinge upon what happens in the next session of the Legislature. He works to get things done then he will see his stock rising, other wise he just needs to finish out his term and retire to local politics.

So on to the headlines that caught my attention over the past few days/weeks
