Texas Round-Up


by: Karl-Thomas Musselman

Wed Oct 08, 2008 at 03:56 PM CDT


First off, I want to thank the 7 donors who have given $235 through Burnt Orange Report to Rick Noriega this last week! You can join them here, especially if you like the good news about South Texas in this round-up.

  • Here's a second ad out from Rep. Patrick Rose, a bit more substantive on the PEC.

  • The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denies an appeal by Colton Pitonyak (who had sawed up Jennifer Cave in her West Campus apartment bathtub). Good for them.

  • Hidalgo and Cameron Counties launch effort to not be lowest turnout urban counties in Texas. Good news for Rick Noriega and statewide Democrats.

  • Sixty percent of Americans think we're heading for another depression. How depressing.

  • Barack Obama now has 4 million donors. That means he might have raised $100 Million in September alone. This presidential race is so over for me.

TLR Endorsements (0.00 / 0)
Via Harvey Kronberg, it appears that Texans for Lawsuit Reform has endorsed Kim Brimer.  They just ran into that hypocrisy head first.  There are just so many ways to mock this endorsement that it should made into a contest.  I'll start:

Using an obscure ballot rule to sue to keep your opponent off of the ballot isn't frivolous at all!

Brimer's cheap stunts: that's reform we can believe in.

If only all lawsuits were as justified as Brimer's.

Frivolous lawsuits for me but not for thee.

It's only frivolous if you sue someone we like.
