I'll never say anything bad about Texas again.

I guess what bothers me so much about what I now see going on in both Washington and in Texas is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong.

It's going to take . . . our entire Texas delegation, here and on the House side, to keep this whole. Obviously, there's a lot of projects in the bill that people want to keep.

We are confident that when we convene for the upcoming special session, we will meet the threshold of the Texas Supreme Court in solving the public school finance, and we are looking forward to working closely with the governor and lieutenant governor on this issue.

I've always opposed vouchers, and I will continue opposing vouchers. Texas won't have the best public schools in the country if we're raiding their funding to send kids to private schools.

I play Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry. I have amassed a fortune on that. I have almost 30 million dollars from playing. It is unreal.
