Something Stinks
RECEIVED Thu., April 20, 2006
Dear Editor,
Something stinks in Austin. Like the spoiled food I found in my fridge after the planned “rolling blackout” that was half-ass attempted on the hottest day of the year. Blame can't be directed at the bumbling fools over at ERCOT or the PUCT. They are just a typical example of uncontrolled and asleep-at-the-wheel bureaucrats doing business as usual without direct leadership. A rolling blackout at the ballot box needs to happen in this state, from the top down. Turn out the lights on the dimwits at the Capitol complex. Turn the switch off to the people who are lining their pockets with special interest money and making the great state of Texas a puppet whose strings are being pulled by self-serving groups from Washington and greedy land speculators from other states and even other countries. Let Perry build his new railroad folly that will destroy thousands of acres of our precious land to benefit a few swindlers on both of our borders, north and south. Just let the first cargo that is transported be the deadwood in Austin. I don't even care what border they go to. Just get them across. They certainly have made it easy enough. Let them serve the people there because it sure as hell ain't Texas.
