The “TSA bill” passed out of the Texas House last night. The Senate will vote on it, then I think it has to go back to the House. By midnight tomorrow.
The bill passed despite resistance from House Speaker Joe Straus, who dismissed it as “an ill-advised publicity stunt,” saying he wanted to “send a message without actually harming commercial aviation in Texas” (a reference to U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy’s warning that the TSA might be forced to shut down Texas airports) and “without making the Texas Legislature a laughingstock.” The ball is now back in the state Senate’s court, with two more days to go in the special legislative session.
Stossel Reveals: Turned Down ACORN Story Due to ABC ‘Politics’
Watch all six minutes of the video. Not only does Stossel make his admition but Breitbart reveals how some pukes on the Left treated him when confronting his accusers.
Hamous and Lawrence;
I agree Beck cries too much. It is a turn off for me. But by and large I find them authentic (he doesn’t do it for show and, yes, he should absolutely reduce them) and also I do not fault him at all for tearing up telling his story about what happened at the Hitchcock showing.
Linkage in the post. All I see is an email sent at 10:13am on Friday from Allison Zaby at the Texas Legislative Council to Kathi Seay, a policy advisor for the House of Representatives saying she’s attached the requested floor amendment. I guess in a perfect world one subordinate sending another subordinate the information may be able to get the… Read more »
118 Shannon says: June 27, 2011 at 4:48 pm I’ll be hanging loose waiting for a link to a piece by a recognized legal scholar indicating Goeb Groper has a shot making it thru the front door of the 5th Circuit Court. Will this do? Letter from Greg Abbott to David Dewhurst reviewing potential changes to the SB 29. The… Read more »
If, however, Barry succeeds in his government takeover of the economy and turns all the young people into leeches too, all bets are off. You know me, ever the optimist. Wow, you are an optimist. As far as I’m concerned the economy has already been taken over by the government, and it happened well before Barry came on the scene.… Read more »
#79 I think there are some very big differences between us and Greece. Here, the majority of the people demanding a teat for themselves are people our age and older. In Greece, it’s everyone, including a substantial percentage of young people. I don’t see a way out for them. Here, there’s still a chance that people younger than us will… Read more »
I predicted the Greece chaos would come to the United States last year and everybody said it wouldn’t get that bad here. They were right – it won’t get that bad here – it’ll get worse. As Denninger would say, the Free Shiite Army is MUCH MUCH bigger here than in Greece. Watch what happens when the politicians kick the… Read more »
I wonder how long before the Greeks tell the banksters(European & American banks and financial institutions including Fidelity Cash Reserves Money Market and others and their investors included) to go winky-tink up a different rope. What this is really about is bailing out the banks and their respective investors – again. If somebody held a gun to their head and… Read more »
Texakanuk: #1 Many Greeks insist they should not be forced to pay for a crisis they believe politicians are responsible for. “We don’t owe any money, it’s the others who stole it,” said 69-year-old demonstrator Antonis Vrahas. “We’re resisting for a better society for the sake of our children and grandchildren.” These useless turds having been living the high life… Read more »
I’m wondering how long before the Germans tell the rest of the EU to go pee up a rope.

After reading your post, I’m glad I’m married to a plumber. He knows how to clean out those kind of messes.
And as far as the plumbing goes – I’ve always said that men are good for three things:
procreation, extermination, and sanitation.
Boy howdy, after Low Rentzes linkie about 1 minute inside a wimminses head made me real wissin glad I got the external plumbing.
Further to my #48: The extreme painful and negative emotions that will occur when that cold slap of reality hits you in the face is way too much for most liberal(ists) to even consider. That is why they act like the spoiled brats they are, because they can’t handle the truth. Unfortunately, like the people in Greece, Portugal and Ireland,… Read more »

Beck has manboobs?
In answer to the U.S. Census question, ‘Do you have any dependents?’ ………….. One Texan put ….YES…’Asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, crack heads, unemployable deadbeats, the cast of The Jerry Springer Show, 80,000 people in our 133 penal establishments in Texas, leftovers in Texas from Katrina, half of freaking Mexico, Some of the Congress, most of the Senate and a sorry… Read more »

Whoa! TT
You crossed the line again with the “man-boob” reference. If I ever need a bra, I guess that would pretty much invalidate my man card.
Hell, why not ask “If you cut off your testicles, does that change your attitude any?”
#65 TT:
It is the change in attitude that causes the manboobs to appear in the first place.
I guess because I’m female – I didn’t think he cried hardly at all. A few tears held back, but if I had been invited to a night out by my daughter, and had it ruined like they did — — if my family had been made targets of others’ ignorance and hate — I’d tear up a little, too.… Read more »
Hopefully THIS isn’t a repeat – hey if so jes SHOOT me – I had forgotten this one over the years – guaranteed to yield a smile!

I’m sure it does.
It enjoys having a computer moron for a master, too.
Wait, I thought the iFone knew how to do that for you.
Insert here classic foto of crying baby surrounded by money bags.

Yep, a little too many tears for me too.
Always reminds me that he is an entertainer, first and foremost.
There’s definitely a bromantic atmosphere there with Glenn, Patt & Steww.
He cries too much.
From yesterday #11; Beck’s been crying too many tears: In a lengthy interview with the former Pennsylvania senator, the two were discussing the Cut Cap Balance Pledge, a vow to oppose any debt limit increase that doesn’t cut and cap spending and balance the budget. Santorum revealed he had signed the celebrated pledge, and reached his hand out for a… Read more »
BBC tv is reporting terrorists have attacked a hotel in Greece and authorities are fighing them. The ticker does differentiate between protestors and terrorists.
An interesting use of an opportunity by the terrorists.
Waiting for a news update.
Apparently the BBC ticker got it wrong. It is in Kabul, Afganistan.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Elisha Dawkins graduated in August from nursing school in Jacksonville. He put on hold his plans for taking the board exams because the Navy called him into action as a photographer. Dawkins photographed happenings at Guantanamo Bay, an act that’s evidence he’s a trusted member of the military with top secret clearance. Now, Dawkins, a Navy reservist… Read more »

Good practise for the grandchirren. 🙂
Seeing the story on Drudge about Senate Dems bringing up Dream Act again, I just submitted comments to Cornyn & Hutchinson, to remind them that Texans don’t want no stinkin’ DREAM ACT or any other type of amnesty. I seem to recall Kay was wobbly on this a while back. I assume everyone knows about the Who Represents Me link,… Read more »
Oh, and while I was eating alone, there was a TV tuned to CNN. There was a story about the colonias on the border, and how the administration was pushing for them to be counted in the census. A reporter actually said that many in the colonias were “illegal citizens”. How in heckfahr can someone be an “illegal citizen”?! Wissin’… Read more »
These useless turds having been living the high life on government handouts for years, the government is broke and they’re doing for the children. Horse pucks. Those are the same excuses you’re going to hear after England lights up this Thursday. Union thugs and hooligans rioting to keep their benefits. The Establishment Republican solution to the problem is Smaller Big… Read more »
I was supposed to go to a meeting today for our contractor group. I just double-checked the flyer. I was at the right location, and early for a change – but no one was there.

Me too. In have the most hope for Poe but although his voting record is oustanding, his record to actually do something about issues is very poor.

While Greece, Portugal, Ireland and others slide into default, bankruptcy, and oblivion while leaving the nasty skid-mark of socialism on the garment of civilization; the real costs of socialist lies are being made apparent to all who care to observe. The average joe in those societies is probably going through the entire range of negative emotions that one would when… Read more »
I’d never claim that.
Because the message is clearly getting out.
And its making a lot of elected people and their sycophant puppets nervous.
this just came in the in-box: I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right” and Liberals are called the “left.” By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) As always, the TRUTH… Read more »

I’ll let you all know their responses. Personally, I am all for Texas outlawing TSA groping. I like the chaos it’ll create. It’ll probably get… Read more »
