Ring Ring Ring went the bell. It's 2:00 p.m. at the Capitol and we're not asking for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee, it tolls for thee. Wow, some of y'all put on some weight since we saw you last. Not cute. We'll keep this post open for any observations...maybe we'll have one or two.
Opening Day sort of live-blogged: Add yours in the comments. Hit refresh for new.
Speaker Tom is pissy today. The House will convene each morning this week and hopefully adjourn by 5, and the Sharp will be on the floor to talk turkey taxes.
Representative Goolsby's Madris jacket has caused a near rebellion in the House. Holy Mackeral!
The iron fist of Craddick has apparently turned to rust. He can't even keep their attention for simple resolutions. Oh, how the mighty have fallen Craddick. It's actually kind of embarrassing. Craddick looks nervous, he's fumbling a little bit...we'd hate to be in his shoes today. Besides, we bet they are really ugly wingtips.
Also, we overheard today that Perry is having some members over to the mansion tonight for dinner and an orgy. Tomorrow you'll know who was invited by seeing who has a big smile on their face or who has this look of horror at what they've just experienced.
There's sweet Bob Hunter. HEY Rep. Hunter!!
Ok, these resolutions are called....STALLING! Craddick obviously has one agenda this special and that's to hold on to his power. Wow, this really is going to be fun.
Still nothing at Senate (2:14)
look at Senfronia, right there at the front waiting to get at the mike...go girl, please motion to vacate chair
Speaker Tom is in a pissy mood today. Wonder why?
Obviously, the Speaker hasn't used the interim time to work on his reading aloud/speaking skills. I know 2nd graders who have more stage presence than he does. Loser.
Over in the Senate, Dewhurst first move was to gavel them into session. But the gavel broke on his first try. The symbolism is too easy.
Wow VdP is looking good--lightened her hair. Lost weight (?) I didn't know that "quilt" was the new hawtness in Senatorial couture, though.
Thank God the members took time to honor the parents of Nadine Craddick. Not only is she stealing the people's money to re-design the speaker's apartment, but now she is stealing the people's time on the House floor. I guess that is the price of letting Speaker Craddick have his balls for the next 30 days before he has to put them back in her purse.
Gallegos looks pretty good on camera, but I hear his health has really taken a beating. He makes me crazy, but glad he got some help.
So Gallegos's wife is beside him. Since it is Sen. Gallegos, isn't it much more important what is inside and under him?
Royce West as President Pro Tem - now that's alot better than Madla
West is Ogden's brother? I'm intrigued.
West had an afro? Jane Nelson in a mini-skirt? I'm disgusted.
Gay, Gay, Gay is this topic......
