Wait a minute — all year we heard about how DART ridership was way up because of gas prices and people trying to save money, and despite the fact that public transportation is for losers. And yet DART still they face a $45 million shortfall? And people want to expand DART?
- Meanwhile, back in “safe” Dallas, burglaries and home invasions are up, up, up. Guess what the best remedy is? Oh, you don’t want one in your house? Why don’t you love your family?
- Pace of “stimulus” spending in Texas is called “staggering.” I have some other words I won’t use to describe it since I try to keep this blog family friendly. Well, at least Mr. Obama has Jimmy Carter’s “full confidence” — that counts for something. (“Americans fall into two distinct categories today: those who remember how devastating the policies of Jimmy Carter were, and those who are about to find out.“)
- Dallas SWAT are cooling their heels at President Bush’s new house. Which means poker games, neighbors of people with warrants, small-time pot smokers, and barking dogs won’t be getting shot up.
- There’s money to be made in banning cell phones while driving. So you know the Texas Lege is all over it like a hostage on a ham sandwich.
Jimmy Carter endorses Obama’s policies? Now I feel better. One President Stagflation was enough for several lifetimes. It appears we are going to get another. There is an outside chance that Obama may beat out W for (allegedly) the second worst President in history.
