And If You’re Really Nice To Me, I Will Show You Wendy Standing Up
I know. I had only one thing to do. And I blew it. Just for you, here’s some pictures of Wendy standing up.
My county sent a small but dynamite delegation.
My favorite line of the day: “Until our state is a lot less lone and a lot more star … We will keep going,” State Senator Wendy Davis.
And —
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” Texas Republican congressslime Randy Neugebauer to a hard working Park Ranger who was doing her job.
Don’t ever tell me that there’s no difference in the political parties.
I am in Austin today for three days of training. But, I will have time to play on the computer machine. Thanks to all y’all for giving me the day off yesterday.
HEADS UP: I will have a link for you to buy cheap but quality Wendy Davis and Texas Democratic swag either this weekend or early next week. Save your money until then.
As Joe would say – this is a BFD. Glad you were there at the beginning.
1Wendy is very upright! Glad y’all made the trip. Have fun in Austin and learn everything you need to know to turn Texas blue!.

This post by Jim Wright had some words about that asshat from Texas who berated the park ranger:
***
“That’s right, a US Congressman told a federal employee that she should be ashamed for doing the job that he, the congressman, forced her to do.
“Then, when confronted by the angry crowd, Neugebauer ran away like the simpering coward that he is rather than face his own hypocrisy…
“… If I was her, I’d sue this asshole into the poorhouse for creating a hostile workplace…”
***
What a great idea! I love it. I hope she does that very thing.
Maybe she should also file a complaint with the EEOC, except they are probably furloughed, too. Dammit.
3Wendy Davis was fundraising to collect $80,000 by the end of September. Does anyone know how they did with that?
Now her campaign is working on raising $500,000 today:

This is the site that 4 of our trusted democratic elected officials have pointed to today in emails. Including Wendy her own self.
4And we won’t take this lying down. Laying down? I never can remember.
5Oh, yeah, and Act Blue has raised $110,000 for her last time I checked (a minute ago).
6Encouraging. Is she going to talk about water and climate change and all that? I spent all day yesterday listening to folks talk about various issues such as drought, flooding, crazy wildfires, and a few other issues that Texas is having to deal with. Oh, I remember something else too. One speaker talked about how much more (like 25%, 35%, whatever) amounts of water various cities have committed to for the future. TEXAS DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH WATER. Period. Keep that in mind. And the water deciders plan to dig a bunch of big holes and that it rains enough to fill them.
