Around the Horn Friday: Dave Burris’ Huge Head Edition

At the end of March, I had to praise Dave Burris for his well placed call-to-arms to force Atkins resignation. I only recently started feeling clean again. But in my ATHF that week, I had to call for an end of the praise. It is that time again.

Dave (along with a good deal of help from Dana) proved to be the crucial lobbyist for good at Leg hall on Saturday. Way to go, Dave. I particularly liked the way that you explained to Celia that you are a blogger and a chairman. Nice work. But I am officially done with the praise. After this post, I’m going to have to shower. A lot… With soap…

Also active in the defeat if HB177 were the voices of Nancy Willing and Mike Matthews. Nancy has a nice wrap-up. Mike is going to do something about it. Joe at Merit Bound Alley also has a nice blow-by-blow of how the day went.

Our old friend HB4 is still getting some air time over at Merit Bound Alley and also at its normal home, FSP

Elsewhere, we seem to have stirred up some blog-echoes with our post on why George Bush is like Chicken Little (but dumber). Hube took umbrage because he loves being scared of everything. Duffy joined in on the chorus. In the words of a great moron, “Bring it on!” In one of the few posts that Paul Smith has written that didn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out, he covers the newest terror threat. Hube is shaking in his jack boots.

I love that JttR and Tommywonk both posted the Declaration of Independence. Kavips chooses a specific passage to ponder.

Kilroy used the 4th of July to call for a state sales tax to pay for schools. There are better ways to have the State foot the bill, Kilroy, if that is your goal.

The Libby commutation also stirred up some commentary from…well..everyone. Hube Felix had some. Tommywonk bettered him. Kavips make the obvious comparison between Scooter and Paris

On the lighter side, Mike Mahaffie has a blog that we should all visit, if for no other reason than to make the guy be careful what he wishes for.

KarmicJay regales us with a review of the TheatreN experience. Oh, and there was a movie also.

If the movie theatre isn’t your bag, Tommywonk suggests the Arden Music Festival this weekend.

At the soapbox, Mat has unearthed some of Protack’s greatest hits.

At the end of the day today, I am on vacation. It is never clear to me whether that will mean more or less posts, but I’ll feel less guilty either way… There have been 3,592 American soldiers killed in the boondoggle that is Iraq, and the families of 66,807 Iraqi civilians blame our attack for their loved one’s death.
