$500 for not kissing your child's teacher's ring?

rightwingprof asks, "Is the Texas GOP on drugs?" and does a real good wrapup of bloggery re TX Rep. Wayne Smith's idea to fine parents who blow off parent-teach conferences (with a side dish of Gov. Perry's bid to sell the flower of young Texas womanhood to Merck).

Well, no, Clay, it's the entire GOP, not just Texas. This is the party of Abe Lincoln Lenin, "Big Stick" Roosevelt, Herbert Hooverville, "Not a crook" Nixon, and hundreds of other purveyors of large government. Historically, it's the folks who think that Reagan was representative of Republicans as a whole, who think that GOP really is a limited-government party, who might better be accused of taking reality-distorting substances. Personally, I hope that folks in Baytown walk up to Smith on the street and bitch-slap him, next time he's home. But, unfortunately, he's not acting out-of-type for his party.
