Saturday Link Dump

As you could expect, even though we’re taking a break from blogging, we couldn’t just leave you hanging all weekend.

So, here is your Saturday Link-Dump. For Protestants and Catholics, call it your Holy Saturday Link Dump, should you desire to be so spiritual. For everyone else, just call it “Saturday.” This link dump is certified Anna Nicole Smith Free.

Rep. Aaron Pena’s A Capitol Blog tells us about State Rep. Juan Escobar debating The Minutemen on national TV (MSNBC to be precise).

A new-to-us blog, an examination of free will, has picked up on the story about Dan Patrick absenting himself from the Senate Floor when a Muslim offered a prayer. The last time Democrats tried to absent themselves from the floor of the senate, they were fined, shunned and forced to hole’ up in a hotel in New Mexico. (Could we send Patrick to New Mexico? Doubt it. It’s against federal law to transport dangerous materials across state lines).

Texas B&B tells us an interesting tale about disappearing bees.

Bay Area Houston reminds us that justice can be purchased in Texas. (At least if you are Bob Perry and Justice Nathan Hecht needs a little change to help pay the costs associated with the discipline he received for pimping his girlfriend to be a SCOTUS justice.)

Billy Clyde’s Political Hot Tub Party breaks down for us, to the minute, the time it would take to consider every bill filed on the floor of the House if such a scary thing were to ever happen.

Grits for Breakfast used Good Friday for an excellent post reflecting on snitches.

Keeping Terrell In The Loop tells us about Jeb Hensarling playing with the facts.

Marc’s Miscellany has a great piece about last week’s SCOTUS decision in Mass. vs. EPA.

Musings asks if Impeachment is the answer. (We thought the answer was “twelve,” but we were probably thinking about a different question).

Kuff tells us about the toll road moratorium bill’s progress in the senate and about the FREW settlement.

South Texas Chisme tells us about TXU backing down from some of its idiotic stunts this week.
