it seems major that a Texas Republican is switching sides because of his values.
Yeah. The Texas State GOP has one of the furthest right-wing agendas out there. [link]
Tax Cuts, p. 17 - "The Party urges the IRS be abolished," and the following taxes eliminated: "income tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gains, corporate income tax, payroll tax and property tax."
On p.8, Free Exercise of Religion: "Our party pledges to exert its influence to ... dispel the "myth" of the separation of church and state."
p.8, Christian Nation: "The Republican Party of Texas affirms the United States of America is a Christian Nation ..."
p.2 #10: "We oppose conservation easements on our natural resources administered by organizations unaccountable to tax payers and voters." (That means land trusts and conservation groups would be declared unconstitutional.)
Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys. They mean a lot.
I have some days where I am barely productive, and I feel guilty, but I start doing work and I am bored to tears. I know that I have to make a work change soon...I'm stagnating.
I am totally having quit work and do something creative fantasies. Lately, I've got the idea to open a bakery/cafe that does pies and cupcakes, etc. There are no good places to get pies town. The fact that I've made one pie in my lifetime isn't stopping me from thinking about it.
I am alone in the office. Fear me.
Except I might have to answer the phone. Fear the phone.
Dana, don't fear the reaper.
Happy Birthday Sue!
90% of the time, I don't slack when I actually have work to do. I just hurry up and get the work done so I can slack off again.
I do what real work I have as it comes in, but if it's paperwork or shelving stuff, all bets are off.
I am alone in the office. Fear me.
Is everyone else at ninja training camp?

I thought it was lunch, but maybe that's just what they *want* me to think.

It's a cunning ruse!
I need to go on a lunch and comics run at some point.
