My two Texas senators, Hutchison and Cornyn, have well-demonstrated their conservative credentials by voting to override president Bush’s veto of the massive, pork-for-everyone (but me), $20+ BILLION Water Projects bill. OK…to be fair, Senator Cornyn didn’t vote to override. Not to be seen by the folks back home as not returning “their fair share”, he simply sat-out the vote…whimp.
I guess they didn’t read the entire email that I sent them several days ago, in which I instructed them to vote “No” to the override. It looks like they only read the part in which I sarcastically asked them to include $2000 for me so that I could pay the bill for having the plumbing leak in my house fixed — after all…it’s a water project, too. (It was in the foundation, and insurance doesn’t pay for repairs — just for repairing any resulting damage.) I have yet to see the check from passage of this bill…I suppose that “It’s in the mail.”
