The legislative session begins tomorrow, yet Joe Straus is already sending out email as Speaker.

I get it that he is technically still Speaker from his last election, but the day before the Speaker's election seems unfortunate timing to brag, as he did in email today, "I am honored to again have the opportunity to represent our community and provide leadership for our entire state."

He's unopposed. He's going to be the next Speaker. But it sure would be nice to relax in a nice atmosphere of denial for another day.
