Tuesday Link Dump
By Vince Leibowitz on Apr 3, 2007 in Link Dump
Ok, folks. It’s been a long time since we’ve done a link dump, so here we go.
For more perspective on the debate over teaching the Bible in the classroom, please check out this excellent post over at Talk2Action.
Glen Maxey has some great commentary on the “pure primary” bills before the Legislature this session.
Inside the Texas Capitol has a great post about yesterday’s antics in the Texas House concerning HB 551 and more.
This has to be the funniest committee notice ever posted:
The Subcommittee on General Government will meet at Green Pastures for a committee dinner and anticipates a savory feast.
(Thanks to a tipster for sending that in, by the way.)
State Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D-Houston) has a great post about human trafficing legislation at her Little Dog Report.
Pink Dome has more on some terrible anti-choice legislation under the Dome right now.
The Senate Finance Committee is suffering from IBS—Irritable Budget Syndrome.
Hi Vince,
I watched every minute of the House SA Committee’s hearing on abortion-related bills — which makes some kind of masochist, because it lasted 12 hours and resembled nothing so much as tent revival.
Witnesses informed the committee that, aside from turning our state into a eugenicist society “just like Nazi Germany,” legal abortion is solely responsible for packing Texas prisons with women inmates — because after you’ve had an abortion, there’s nothing left but a death spiral into alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity and a life of crime. Until you are saved by Jesus Christ, of course.
It might have been funny, if only every member of the committee except Jessica Farrar and Marc Veasey hadn’t been nodding like bobblehead dolls.
Women in this state are heading into some big, big trouble.
