"Texas U.S. House Aides Tamper with Reps' Shitty Image Via Wikipedia"

Last month I wrote a post about a couple of 'clowns' we hope get the boot during next year's mid-terms. Once these dudes start acting up or in Ralph Hall's defense, not act at all, they'll just keep doing it again and again. Well, a recent article from the Dallas Morning News spotlights those same clowns where they're staffers are apparently cleaning up Wikipedia articles that show their scandals and failings.

Now, people who have an 'axe to grind' with Wikipedia, will say anything to downplay it's power but I give people a little more credit in that they know how to use Wikipedia to conduct research. This act however is just proof that there's no contender in their district, or that their voters are so disconnected and kept 'in the dumb' that all they need to do is manipulate some articles to keep the vote in their favor.

It's just like Dignam said in 'The Departed', "... are like mushrooms, feed them shit and keep them in the dark."

Watch As I Enroll For Healthcare At The Last Minute

Okay. I'm sitting down right now and it's 4:06 pm. Enrollment ends tonight at 11:00pm CST. Let's do this. 1. So here I am. I need to see the plans. I've done this only a few times before over the last few months without all the information I needed. Now that I have it, let's see how far it goes.  2. Just showing you the Texas thing...  3. Yep. Nothing. No big whoop, not stressing about it either. On a blogger's salary, I don't expect much. Still haven't done my taxes, which is on the list with this sign up. Just gonna wait for the email alert. I'm phoneless right now (blogger's salary).

Site Update!!!

Pessimistic? Not at all!   Okay y'all. Looks like there is already a place that has up-to-date information about all candidates running for Texas seats and positions at this site . Our post with the information will have links to each report we post on them as we gather more information throughout the year. We'll therefore be creating separate pages for each candidate to better organize the reports.
