Given the state of the republic and the state (especially Texas Red) since at least the mid-19th Century you expected what? Really.
The usual suspects---progeny of the DWTS-local equivalents have all filed and are anxiously awaiting your approval. Really. Personally, I’m on pins and needles. Not really most are foregone conclusions.
The founders were well intentioned but apparently millennia ahead of their time and of course, of the evolution of the human species.
From the annals of the twisted, tortured and tormented perspective on reality the following are presented for your review and maybe entertainment.
so from Texas Red coprophagous wackjobs you expected what?
Divided SBOE adopts religion resolution
AUSTIN — Publishers were put on notice Friday when a divided State Board of Education vowed to reject textbooks with a pro-Islamic and anti-Christian slant, sending a message that critics say promotes fear and prejudice.

Citizens United After Eight Months
The reason the Times' paints only an "anecdotal portrait" and Toner relies on his "personal experience" is that this new corporate money is increasingly being funneled through 501(c)(4) groups that aren't required to disclose who their donors are. You can see the results at the Washington Post's running tally of campaign spending by interest groups: seven of the top ten spenders are Republican organizations, and they're outspending Democrats by nearly two to one, much of it on ads specifically targeted against Democratic House and Senate candidates.
