I don't make a practice of passing on stuff out of pols' newsletters, but I think this from Sen. Kirk Watson is kind of important (Watson does not represent me, more's the pity, I'm just on his list).
His newsletter starts out with some misguided remarks about the recent success of the Baylor football team. Nobody's perfect. But then he moves on to healthcare, and highlights that we still have a very serious Rick Perry problem.
The story is beneath the fleur-de-kos, and the most important part is the less than fortuitously scheduled public hearing.
