Opportunism

Never say Republicans can't recognize an opportunity when they see one. They've revealed a deficit reduction plan made of spending cuts to the tune of about 35 billion dollars. For example, they plan to cut the EPA budget and eliminate funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The GOP wanted to shut off funding to these agencies and programs when we had budget surpluses, so this plan isn't what you'd call a profile in courage. Wake me up when they eliminate subsidies to ethanol and agribusiness, and cut foreign aid to the bone.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
