Chris Bell believes firmly in the privileges guaranteed by the Second Amendment and supports the right of every Texan to own and carry guns legally. However, he feels that it is equally important that existing laws are properly enforced.

There is something about what politicians say that just doesn't sit right.

The first sentence from Chris Bell's politico sounds good. The second sentence starts off with a big "However, ".

It sounds like so much double talk we and our fathers and grandfathers have heard. It seems to say that we support the Second Amendment, but we may enact laws that may be contrary. Sort of like saying you suppport television stations but won't let anyone have a TV.

That is funny!

Is it a case of "lesser of evils", or a "lesser of weevils"?

Don't forget that Richard, uh, excuse me, that's Kinky, wants Willie Nelson to be the energy czar. I wonder if his bio-diesel will smell like weed instead of popcorn?

Since the days after Reconstruction, the real political power in Texas is in the part-time legislature. They control budgets and create legislation, or leave the state to prevent legislation. At least they only come to Austin every 2 years.
