Molly Ivins may very well have down syndrome.

For real thoughts on Policy, check out Thomas Sowell or Thomas Friedman.

It was not a personal attack, it was a mere statement of fact.

uh huh. This comes from soneone advocating the 'Money is the best indicator of availability' line of logic.

And, BTW, you know very well that Molly Ivins does not have Downs Syndrome. (Aside from the obvious physical characteristics, DS people rarely live to be 30. Aside from that, they are mentaly retarded, which Molly Ivins is demonstrably not. You can mke a stronger case the GWB is DS given his command of language. But you will not find me making that argument.

Each Owen aficionado here in Texas has his or her own favorite Owen ruling, but I always liked the one about the boy rendered quadriplegic by a defective safety belt, who died waiting for the dilatory Owen to figure out if a lower court decision that the manufacturer owed him enough money for his care was constitutional in Texas. Hey, sometimes it takes more than a year. But she's very pro-life.

In her 1994 campaign, Owen got $8,600 from Enron and $31,550 from Vinson and Elkins, the Houston law firm that represented Enron. Enron and V-E showed up in her court two years later, trying to get out of paying school property taxes. Not only did Owen not recuse herself -- get this -- she wrote the opinion that allowed Enron to choose its own method for property tax assessment, and lo, it cut its own assessed property value by millions of dollars.


Its payback time folks!

How can any hard working, blue-collared worker support a conservative agenda like this is beyond me? rolleyes.gif

That certainly was not a statement of fact, it was an attempt to dodge the issue and hide the facts behind a personal attack on Molly Ivins.
