"Thanks a yacht Texas"

I often wonder if our elected officials, be they local, state, or federal, should have a special rehab facility just for them.  They drift in and out of reality, more often than Cheech and Chong lit bongs.

Below is a link to an article concerning our Texas legislators considering giving purchasers of Yachts over $250,000.00 a break on the state's sales tax.  This bill will allegedly guarantee that these overt nautical purchasers will remain in Texas; as opposed to saving thousands of dollars in other markets like Florida.  It worked for John Kerry.   As a good Scotsman, I love to save money.  We Scots love to drink hate to pay for it.

We, our elected representatives, always amaze me by enacting laws, spending money for projects of dire necessity for every man, and child, or regulations to insure we use the correct light bulb or toilet tissue.
Darwin's evolutionary theories obviously only apply to elected officials; who must slowly bring we monkeys into the light of their superior reasoning abilities.

Examples of these superior minds include a couple of Oklahoma laws, which are still on the books.

1.  "Prior to crossing a railroad track, you must stop you buggy and wave you illuminated lantern twice before crossing. "  I obeyed this law last time was driving through Oklahoma.  I stopped my car and was walking toward the tracks to wave my flashlight; when I was rear ended by an Amish horse cart.  Try explaining that to your insurance adjuster.
2.  "it is illegal to feed or give alcohol to fish."  I can certainly understand the necessity of this law; as can anyone who has had a bad experience with a drunken Carp.  Would someone please explain to me "how" you give or feed alcohol to fish.  Perhaps, pickled worms or olives on the hook, Budweiser for bait.  The mind boggles.

The federal government is now spending money to study (I kid you not) the drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes.  I know we have all been losing sleep over this growing problem for the Chinese.  But what about our good American prostitutes, don't they deserve some free drinks or visits from Congressmen and their aides.  Remember: "Behind every good politician is a good woman and behind her is his wife."

LET'S ALL RALLY AROUND THE IMPORTANT ISSUES AS ENACTED BY OUR LEADERS:

Cowboy Poetry, Sobering Chinese Prostitutes,  and keep our Texas lakes filled with local yachts.

Now that's what I call leading by example.  Hoo Rah
