Texas healthcare, electrical and plumbing services will be overloaded for weeks and I hope plenty of federal help and charity assistance is on the way. Exposure to CV-19 will increase as people become even more careless. In addition, severe colds, flu and pneumonia will threaten everyone.

As Molly Ivins used to say: "Texas politicians take care of bidness" and that's all they take care of. It's amazing how they can bullshit their way out of accountability every time an emergency hits.

A little more Molly for a chuckle in these dreadful times:

If his IQ slips any lower, we'll have to water him twice a day

I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.

I know: "Guns Don't Kill People." But I suspect that they have something to do with it. If you point your finger at someone and say, "Bang, bang, you're dead," not much actually happens.

All the best and DU hugs to our friends down there.......
