Yeah these guys like "pay me" Payton hate it when they're corrupt politics are brought to light. The Guardian and Media Maters are two shining light on their shit. You and JB should be watching your backs.

I had a great over fed Thanksgiving. Even got some of my favorite fried chicken livers. Plus great ball games from Dallas and San Francisco. Man I miss when Madden used to color the Dallas/ Redskin games at Thanksgiving . Don't remember Texas politics being quite as corrupt back then, at least not as overt anyway. Ah well, back to my left overs.

"Somewhere in Texas, a struggling family waits for a deadbeat dad to pay years’ worth of overdue child support...an elderly widow tries to recover the money stolen from her by an online scam artist. ... a fly-by-night clinic is overcharging Medicaid (and Texas taxpayers)." No sh*t. We need public servants who are actually perform services. How Paxton got away with what he did will smear shame on Texas for a long time.

When I worked for Jim Mattox in the AG's Child Support Division, we earned a solid reputation and were proud of our methods and accomplishments. I despair that the agency's reputation is tainted by the corruption and frivolous litigation and political grandstanding.

BTW, entering "Santorum definition" in your search engine brings Dan Savage's creation near the top. 😉

It took serious amount of willpower on my part not to go there with Dan Savage's bit on "santorum."

Great article Deece.

Ken Paxton is always on the lookout for chance to expand his visibility on a much broader stage, it will always be at the expense of the people of Texas, (with a few exceptions)!

Those exception being people who have power and funds to support his unending corrupt schemes and keep him in power!
