economical numbers

"There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers."
— Richard Feynman, physicist, Nobel laureate (1918-1988)

Dunbar bedevils public education

"Anyone with (Cynthia) Dunbar's animus toward public schools should never be in charge of them or have an important voice on what is in our students' textbooks. It's a travesty that the state's top officials aren't attacking the problems created by this dysfunctional board and demanding that Dunbar step down.

But we will. Dunbar should resign and leave the governing of this state's public schools to people who use them, serve them, care about them and understand that they are the future of Texas."

— The Austin American-Statesman
The Austin American-Statesman (Monday, December 15, 2008), in an editorial calling on far-right member Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, to resign from the State Board of Education. http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/12/15/1215dun...

Submitted by Hal on Thu, 11/13/2008.

[Cross Posted from Half Empty]

In a story buried in the Houston Chronicle on November 10th we find that Precinct 1 Commissioner-Elect Richard Morrison has a full plate of ethics reform to serve to the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court when he takes office in January.

The hors d’oeuvres to this 7 course meal are pasted below from Morrison’s website where you can also get a copy of the full resolution.

I. CONTRIBUTION LIMITS

  • Starting with the 2010 election cycle, limit individual contributions to a County Jude or County Commissioner to $250.
  • Limit PAC contributions to $500.

II. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

  • Any gift in excess of $100 to a County Judge or County Commissioner (or immediate family members) from a party with business before the County will require that Judge or Commissioner to recuse themselves from ruling or voting on that issue.
