This is an editorial from the Houston Chronicle. The story is one thing but read the comments. Feel free to put your 2 cents in.

An older article from Texas Observer by one of my favorite writers Andrew Wheat.
To understand what kind of "people" they are one would have to read the article below.

Responded with my AOL junk mail account layzgofer. It would give me a royal depressing headache to follow all the money trials Wheat did in the other story. From my understanding of history, these kind of political insider trading deals were what imploded The Roman Empire. Times are different, but human nature seems the same.

I do believe Weekley's editorial was timely, or maybe it was supposed to be. HMMM?Huh

This is apparently the republican universal solution to all current crisis'. They are uniformly reporting anywhere they can, everything is actually okay, and the only real problem is American's have a psychological problem.

Yes Ron, you know how we Americans are a bunch of whiners and have imaginary problems.
That's the REP. version of it all.
