I’ve been curious on how this site’s population breaks down in who you supported (voted) for the Democratic nomination in 2008 as compared to 2016. In my case, I voted for Obama in 2008 and Clinton in 2016.

I’m fired up and ready to hand a severe beat down to Drumpf in November, but also thought it would be interesting to see how the Dem primary support shook out between 2008 and 2016.

Texas GOP Representative Pete Sessions (R-Math Challenged) Recently claimed on house floor that the cost of each enrollee was costing the U.S. treasury $5 million. He came up with that estimate by taking a $108 billion estimate cost and dividing by 12 million new enrollees.

It looks like Ted "Canadian" Cruz has finally gotten around to renouncing his Canadian citizenship:

It looks like our favorite teabagging Governor, who claims to detest goverment so much, has found a legal, if highly unethical (in my opinion) way to add $92,000 to his annual salary, claiming he is retired.

Dallas Morning News

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry claimed his retirement benefit from the state last January and has padded his salary with an additional $92,000 in taxpayer funds, financial disclosures filed in the presidential race show.
Under state law, Perry, 61, is eligible for retirement through his 25 years in public office coupled with his five years of military service. The supplemental pay boosted his state-paid gross income to $242,000 annually.

He was able to retire and continue in office through a quirk in state law provided for statewide elected officials. And while the double-dip benefit is available for other state employees, Perry has signed laws as governor that make it more difficult for others, especially teachers, to take advantage.

Like many regular readers, I've been following the latest round of I/P diary pie fights, and have observed as they predictably descend into tit for tat accusations, screaming, and general rowdy behavior. I don't dare add a comment, because anything I say will inevitably be seen as taking sides, and I'd be risking my cherished trusted user status with a barrage of donuts. :-)

So about a month ago, my wife tells me she's stressing out over work, and needs a long weekend getaway to de-stress and re-charge. Me being a husband who likes to keep his wife happy, I started looking for a cheap fare to anywhere that would get us out of the Dallas/ Ft. worth area for a 4 day weekend. The best fare I found was for Denver, at $220 RT per person on United.
