And look at who was yelling loudly about it, Dubya. Using language like "balancing the budgets on the backs of the poor". Hmm. As I said some months ago we are going to go from having one conservative Christian Southern governor as prez to another.
As I've written here before, recently in Texas we had a change of AG's. The previous, putatively Democratic one did everything he could to assist in the dismantling od AA and did nothing to fight Hopwood. The new Republican has reversed the previous finding that AA in financial aid was illegal.

Does all that straw keep you warm in those cold New Haven winters? I did see anybody here saying that.
