Would somebody please tell me -- somebody in Houston, please -- somebody who actually lives and votes in his district --

This is evidently the hottest organizational book/system out there right now, but I hadn't heard of it until one day when I heard of it twice. There are all sorts of websites devoted to "Getting Things Done" and I finally got curious enough to buy the book. Will let you know what I think.
So, this book is about Salome and Jezebel and Ellen Cherry. I think. I'm not sure. But I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
A solid process for developing ideas and outlining screenplays. I'm working my way through it, and so far am enjoying the process.
If you're interested in writing, you should read this book. Even if you're afraid of the dark and reading Stephen King gives you nightmares -- you still should read this book. It's that good. And if you'd prefer to listen to the audibook, that's fine, too. Stephen King is a very good reader as well as writer.
The original CD, however. I see here that there's a new remastered one with previously unreleased cuts. Yay! New Stevie Ray!
As I finish a book (or view a movie, play or DVD) I'll post my thoughts in my book blog, guilty of reading.

I can't speak for people down here who actually voted for him, but there are these two things that might have contributed:
1) his district encompasses Johnson Space Center, and he's a vocal and active supporter of NASA and JSC;
2) this area is seriously messed up. Yates, DeLay, and that running-over-her-husband thing all happened right down here in this suburban part of Houston.
Good points.
What were the ads like? Did his challengers put up a good fight?
You are a woman of little imagination.
They can do many tacky things in Houston. And now it's full of New Orleans Refugees, people who voted for David Duke, fer gunness sake!
Um, are you sure that the refugees who filled the Astrodome and their friends voted for David Duke? I'm just saying.
But the way you and Erin go on. Running-over-the-husband and such are just the things that make a place colorful. It doesn't have to make people stupid, too, does it?
Again, I'm just saying.
Maybe it's all the fumes from the refineries ...
I honestly don't remember seeing ads for DeLay. (Delay. DElay. Not sure ...) I know there were were campaign signs out everywhere, but I think this was a case of his supporters urging fellow supporters to get on out and vote for him. I don't even remember many challenger ads, so it's no wonder that people who could be bothered to go vote in a primary were people who really want him to stay.
That explains a lot, if his opponents didn't even have visibility.
I hope the Dems can take him out, since the Repubs weren't able to handle it from within.
