HIATUS OVER. Pardon the lack of blogging. Sometimes life intervenes. We had a death in the family and it has been difficult.

I could not resist blogging, though, as news flashed that the federal court ruled that the Texas redistricting plan was ok. Bad day for all the Dems who pranced around saying it would never survive a court challenge. It is not over, as they will appeal to the Supremes, but it is a good win for the Texas Republicans.

They guy hurting the most is probably Martin Frost who has prospered in a gerry mandered district for years, staying in office despite the changing political climate because of it. Well, live by the sword, die by the sword.
