The Dems did it in Texas--back when Delay was redistricting, I believe back in 2003.
OH NOES! The GOP will have to order in. Fuckers.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I hope they're enjoying some deep dish.
ION, the Sun-Times review of the show I just did calls it "a travesty of a mockery of a sham." Tell us how you really feel, Hedy.
