Yes, I expect Ann Richards is.

I take it Perry's calling another special session right away. We may as well enjoy this moment while we have it.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Yup. 30 day special session, starts July 1st, *only* to consider removing women's rights and imprisoning minors.

You just can't beat the kind of faith that Governor Perry has. His twisted truth keeps marching on.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

We can and will beat it.

Are there any plans in place to fight against this push?

I was just watching the Rachel Maddow show, and I gather that they are just going to try to repeat what they accomplished. I don't think there is any way they can get lightning to strike twice. They will find a way to cut off any filibuster, and they will be sure to do it earlier.

That was a great segment on Rachel Maddow.

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

I missed it, but I'm hoping to catch the repeat in 15 minutes.

You didn't go to PRISON?!?

I managed to get gaymarried just in time before the brownshirts arrived.

If there is, I'm not expecting to hear about it for another day. I imagine everyone who was at the filibuster is crashing hard today and it probably won't register until tomorrow.

Amazing, but my first thought was:

"Who's driving? Oh my god bear is driving how can that be?"

LOL

*I* get your reference!

ROBOT DANCING??!?

You mean this? I didn't catch the original; just the after-the-fact usepic.

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

Yep! Had a friend who had the whole series on DVD. It was certainly... unique.

Ann Richards, you say?

Now there was a great governor.

That was the first time I voted in State & Federal elections - helping Ann get elected made me feel very good, especially when she was running against some chucklehead who tried to make a rape joke during the campaign.

Then I left Texas, good move.

Ah, yes. Clayton Williams. "Chucklehead" does not do him justice

I love that her daughter Cecile (who is president of Planned Parenthood) was actually there to see it.
