CUE UP GARY GLITTER

Daaaa da-da, HEY!

AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Legislature adjourned its second special session of the year Tuesday without passing a congressional redistricting bill, nearly a month after Senate Democrats broke a quorum by fleeing to New Mexico to block the measure.

Republican Gov. Rick Perry said he would call yet another special session to try to get approval for new congressional boundaries.

"When I call that session is strictly up to me, and I'll give the appropriate notice on the appropriate day," Perry said.

Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, chairwoman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, has said the Democrats who went to New Mexico on July 28 are prepared to stay away another 30 days if needed.

Give it up, Goodhair.

I find it rather interesting that the Texas Democrats are more able to stand up to Tom DeLay than George W Bush is!
