If his mug shot has half of the awesome-sauce of Tom DeLay’s, I will pee my pants laughing. And this wasn’t some liberal Austin grand jury either!

In more important news, all the barn swallows have now gone even the juveniles, there is a young bear who has taken up residence in the woods above the house and has taken to traipsing about the lawns, and I find I have a big old ash tree that is infested with Emerald Ash Borer.

@DElurker: Yeah, much as I’d like, I’m having a hard time buying this one. Does the Texas governor have the authority to yank funding? Does he have to provide Reasons? Does the stated pretext even matter?
