Rice, Idiots, and Dads

Galen the boy wonder is starting on solids. It's just rice cereal, but he goes at it with gusto. He chases the spoon with his mouth, very cute. Once in his mouth he often gets these funny faces, not sure what to do. The amount staying inside & getting swallowed is slowly increasing, but a huge anount still comes back out. His fingers are often used to mop up the mess and then get sucked clean.

Arizona's illustrious Republican leadership has fumbled again. Idiots. They were pushing for mandating 65% classroom spending. They had press conferences, during one it was mentioned how one of the committee chairmen was a roadblock, nevermind the fact that the bill wasn't even in that committee. They released a TV commercial with the statement to call your Republican representatives for more information. And the calls came: and none of the elected Republicans new what the calls were about. The House Speaker and Senate President were bombarded with calls from their fellow Republicans wandering what's up.

It's time to find some Republican leadership that does more than attack spending, does more than identify problems without providing viable solutions. They also have a bad case of "not invented here" syndrome. Get over it.
