Idiot at work

The state legislature, as the old expression goes, is more worthless than tits on a boar hog. They waste time on meaningless activities like voter ID laws and other things that create more problems than they solve. However, during the recent session, the lege passed a bill that would make it illegal to send or receive text messages while driving. Finally, something I could support -- or so I thought.

You'd think people in Texas would be able to understand that texting while driving is foolish at best, dangerous at worst. But people in Texas also vote for Republicans so just how smart can they be ? At any rate, giving tickets to people who text while driving sounds like an excellent revenue source at a time when it's needed.

According to the morning paper, Perry vetoed the texting bill. That figures. What a loser. That motherfucker is worth nowhere near the 10,000 skins per month we're spending on his rent payment.
