    Government money should only be given to rich people for free, because they are our betters, and waste money .. . better. Surely the plight of our nation's bond traders, dog groomers, and personal chefs matters to you!

    Well, yeah. People who own their own homes are more likely to vote Republican, and their property taxes are high because Albany is irretrievably FUBAR and likes to give school districts unfunded mandates out the wazoo, so lowering property taxes would make them very, very happy.
    Except for the part where this is very temporary because school districts would just see this as an excuse to stuff even more crap in the local school budget. The STAR program is like that. School boards just love to tell taxpayers how much more they'd be paying if it weren't for the STAR program; it's like Vaseline to one's already inflamed anus.

    The BEST use of the stimulus package would be to buy every man, woman and child (over the age of 10) in America a Suzanne Somers Bodyrow XL 200 Exercise Machine.
    When I couldn't afford a gym membership no more I bought myself a secondhand Suzanne Somers Bodyrow and I've NEVER been in better shape in my life!
    I think this would solve the health crisis too!

    Careful, remember what happened to the last idiot Republican Texas Governor.


    (One of) the irony(ies) is that the Texas Governor doesn't even have much legislative power. The Lieutenant Governor is the one with the power. The ceremonial aspect of the Governors' job is what gives them so damned much time to raise money and run for POTUS.

    ... rather than just blowing it on bribing Rush Limbaugh to move to Austin or whatever.


    Dude needs to take the effing money and rebuild the burned out governor's mansion (his son is the RUMORED arsonist) and shut the eff up.


    I am sick to death of the PSAs begging for money from working people to rebuild the mansion featuring Lee Ann Rimes, et al of the Texaratti, spouting the importance of giving to rebuild! Sheesh! GET OVER IT, PERRY!

    Some of us in Texas DO loathe Gov. Goodhair -- and look who's running against him in the primary? The Breck Girl (Kay Bailey Hutchison). They'll probably draw blow dryers at 20 paces. Jeesh.

    @Gregoire: Now that G-Dub has settled in Dallas (money) and has a proven record of starting wars (See: Iraq) for supremely lame reasons we should all be paying attention.


    Just another reason for this yankee to hightail it to California.
