The SAN Express-News had a piece today we actually enjoyed. It's true that the Special is ruining the summer for the legislators and even though Fred Hill said, "I'd rather not be part of your story," when asked about the vacation he had to forgo in Montana. "It's not a hardship. ... People don't want to hear us complain." There is a part of me that does want to hear you complain. (Well, the sick part granted).

Since we noticed that the San Antonio Express-News did not interview one staffer (even anonymously) about what they have had to give up this summer we thought we'd open up comments for you to tell us. If you are a staffer, lobbyist or whatever...what has the pointless Special forced you to forgo this summer?

We'll start...oh wait...y'all haven't forced us to give up anything. We've been drunk every night. So far we've been on two min-vacations and going on a third in 10 days! Woo Hoo!! Oh..sorry. We mean, the sacrifices have been a real hardship on our summer.
