Stickland is Out
Jonathan Stickland (M-Bedford) (the M is for Moron) has announced that he’s not going to run for reelection next year. Normally when an idiot like Stickland announces leaving, I would celebrate, but Bedford has been infested with a terminal case Teabag syndrome, and God knows who’ll run to take his place. As one commenter said to the accompanying story about Stickland bowing out, “even if Bedford elected a potted plant, it would raise the average IQ of the Texas House by 20 points.” That may be true, and I’m certainly will for them to test that hypothesis.
Stickland has given an assist to gun nuts who’s soul purpose in life is putting a gun into the hands of every screwball and criminal in Texas (calling it Constitutional); he’s also helped laid waste to Texas education system, healthcare system, and anything the state did to help people in need.
I say good riddance and that I hope an adult in Bedford will stand up and take this seat away from the weirdos and screwballs.
