Burnam won't quit on his in-yo'-face-Tom resolution

Rep. Lon Burnam, R-Fort Worth, just tried to bring up his resolution commending former parliamentarians Denise Davis and Chris Griesel as having "stood firm" against "dictatorial pressure."

Mr. Burnam says the speaker's office keeps mysteriously losing his resolutions, which have included calls for impeachment of President Bush and a request for permission to sue the Denton State School.

"I wonder why I have such a high loss rate in your office," he says.

Speaker Tom Craddick replies: "I'm not advised."

For these two, it's a fairly good-natured exchange. Mr. Burnam says please, stop all the "filling time" and let him bring it up.

Mr. Craddick: "You can do that at the appropriate time ... when we get past these (TXU bill) points of order."

Those lost resolutions are probably hiding in the same place as the TYC reports....
