New No...what surprises me...
...is that you try to limit such idiocy to those states to try and prove some point.

The issue of idiot laws being passed is not confined to FL and TX, trust me. Take it from a guy who's state government tried to ban Ladies' Night.

New Texas is as self-centered in the U.S.
...as the U.S. is to the rest of the world.

Be glad when the elections are over as the neighborhood is littered with Martin Frost / Pete Sessions signs - definitely ranks as one of the most carved out gerrymandered districts of all time. Surprisingly, the Dallas Morning News endorsed Frost (probably felt guilty about all those Repub endorsements they've been handing out right and left).

Locally speaking, the Frost/Sessions campaign is as vicious as the Presidential campaign is in the contested states. Haven't seen a single Kerry ad (but it'd be a waste of money anyhow).
