Where are the democratic heavy hitters in this election? The big money contributors? They are showing up all over the country, but not in Texas.

Have they thrown in the towel and accepted that they allowed out State to be sold to the highest bidders? And even worse, are they willing to accept this?

Why are competent, caring, intelligent, committed candidates who do have our best interests in mind BEGGING for gas money? Money should not be a problem. Hell, for the first time in my entire LIFE, I'm donating monthly to a campaign -- David Van Os's. I even donated to the DDC. WHERE is the money and why isn't it forthcoming? If we want to win, we have to fund these candidates, period. We have to dig deep and ask others to dig deep. This REALLY matters.

Do we need to call every democratic contributor in the state of Texas and tell them WE CAN WIN? If so, I'm in.

a little weird blurb from the AP, just in an odd mood today

As pathetic as this might sound, this story actually cheered me up a little bit today.

AP Florida)
"When Nathan Radlich's house was burgled, thieves left his TV, his VCR,and even left his watch. What they did take was "generic white cardboard box filled with greyish-white powder." (That at least is the way the police described it.) A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said "that it looked similar to cocaine and they'd probably thought they'd hit the big time."

Then Nathan stood in front of the TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars: "Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She died three years ago." Well, the next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a drug dealer known as Hoochie Pevens was found on Nathan's doorstep. The cardboard box was there too; about half of Gertrude's ashes remained and there was this note.

It said: "Hoochie sold us the bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister. No hard feelings. Have a nice day."
