Budget nearing leap over next-to-last hurdle: Senate

The House vote was 114-35 -- more a vote for SUMMER VACATION than a test of Speaker Craddick's current standing among members.

The Senate's usual version of a floor debate resembles an Academy Award acceptance speech -- and there's some of that.

But Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, couldn't resist a little lecturing of fellow Houstonian, Republican Sen. Dan Patrick.

So it could be a while longer before that $153.5 billion sucker heads to the governor.

Is there any way we can blame this on the massive influx of Californians? That seems to be causing most of the problems lately.

No, wait. This is all the natives' doing.

Thanks Lege; at least you give us some entertainment every couple of years, even if nothing actually, ever, gets done. Why do people keep voting for these idiots?
