“The people of Oklahoma will continue to vote dry and drink wet as long as they can stagger to the polls.”

That’s a favorite line, and I’ve used it, over and over, trying to explain the apparent aberrant behavior of Texas pols.

“The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.”

What I wanted was a quick screen-shot of the final vote for the Veterans. Said it before, not shy about it, I’m a big supporter of looking after our Vets. I’d like to think I’m more dove than hawk, but I wouldn’t back down from a fight.

Almost a third of congress voted against supporting Veterans — mostly along party lines.

Makes you wonder?

Used before here and here. To my non-American friends, I hope this explains apparent behaviors, and to my Texas friends? I hope this doesn’t poison the well, coming from, you know, Oklahoma.

“Paxton – the Texas attorney general – indicted on securities fraud, accused of bribery, and misuse of office in a civil whistleblower lawsuit… still has the support of the state’s conservatives.”

As noted? Will Rogers observed?
