Good News for Texas (and America)

While I no longer live there, I keep half an eye on the goings on in Texas, and the announcement that Kay Bailey Hutchinson is not running for re-election is great news. She is perhaps one of the most inane women ever to achieve power and (perhaps relatedly) a HUGE backer of her fellow Texan, Preznit Dumbfuck. We'll see who replaces her, but it will be hard for him/her to be worse; altho given the state of the Repug party in Texas, it is certainly not impossible.
