What's So Special about a Special Session?

So, soon the lege will descend upon us again, making Sullivan's and the other upscale downtown eateries full of lobbyists and such, making it impossible to get a table, as if anyone else could afford their prices. But, all reports are that the suits are aiming to be in and out of here in 3 days or less. They all have politicking to do back home for the 4th, so they want to get 'er done. Considering the fact that they had 140 days to get this same stuff done recently and some of the Dems decided having a gabfest that lasted four days, it seems hard to believe that they could get anything done in 3 days. Of course, our famously wealthy and until this past weekend, famously single, Lite Gov. Dewhurst has a honeymoon to get back to...he finally has a wife to put in those Christmas photos with four stepkids as a bonus....Last year he sent out a black and white photo of the Capitol featuring trees without leaves on a gray day...it definitely was not Christmas cheer unless you are a Scrooge who has read too much Edgar Allan Poe. And the year before he had every member of the Dewhurst family, including his third cousins twice removed, in a photo. But, no wifey. Now, he finally has a wife again, and the gov ruined his honeymoon by calling a special. So, he is motivated to finish this session.....he is probably afraid that another Poe Christmas card will ruin his chances of ever moving up to....Husband of the Year.
