As most of you know, Texans get on their knees every night and thank Mississippi for being last in education. One more Rick Perry term and we’ll be able to take their place.
But, leave it to our brilliant state lege, there are answers to the Texas public education crisis. These boys have more bad ideas than Wile E. Coyote.

It would require an amendment to that state consitution, but Republican Steve Ogden thinks it’s a matter of “fairness.” Ogden argues that Texas provides textbooks for “thousands of foreign-national, illegal-immigrant students” in our public schools, so the hoity toity private school students should get them, too.
“Yeah, Ogden,” Juanita sighs, “explain to me again how put-upon you are being a rich white dude. Come on, Honey, whine for me. You know you like it.”
