1. Abbott is not the right for the times. The present bunch has been in charge much too long.

Let's send this zero to the curb and deliver our hero to the capital. Maybe Wendy would even live in the state mansion.

[TBF]

2. If you think Rick Perry is an idiot -

wait until you do more reading on Greg Abbott.

12. This may not be the right thread to say this, but other than being intelligent, political astute and

a heroine to women everywhere, Wendy Davis is absolutely gorgeous.

[TBF]

14. I can't argue with that -

but the important thing is that she is beautiful inside. She actually cares about something other than profit as evidenced by her defense of women's reproductive choices.

3. Oh no, don't be silly.....nothing to see here...move along!!!!!! nt

4. I am in awe that people go through the rigor and expense of law school...

...to get a job earning less than $80K/yr.

I would be curious to see a regression scatterplot of years of experience versus salary. Further breaking that down by sex would be interesting to try and detect statistical significance for discrimination. I suspect that it will be statistically significant - perhaps that average is dragged down to such a low number because the majority are relatively fresh out of law school??!?? If so, then there is definitely statistical significance. Anybody with 1-3 years as an ADA should not have such a glaring $6K out of $79K discrepancy simply based on gender.

6. If you think that's bad, check out what public defenders make

5. Uhhhh....what War on Women?

8. Damned women!

You'd think they'd be more gracious - what with having been the generous gift of a man's rib!

[Nanjing to Seoul]

11. Hey. . .you all get the honor of being rape victims and survivors too. Isn't that worth not getting

equal pay? Look at all the sex you get. . .seriously.

AND YES. . .THIS IS MASSIVE SARCASM!!!!

9. Well,

sheeet...if you don't have a penis, how can you expect to get paid like a penis?

[Nanjing to Seoul]

10. Nope. Liberal Media propaganda. Nothing more to see here. No coincidence at all

Now let's talk about how gayo-americans will turn you into a beastophiliac and how liberal fascist communists will set up death panels, ration your health care while taking away your gun.

13. Hey Aaaaaaboooot!!!!! nt

15. Lest we forget....

"Ted Nugent is my blood brother." "I can't read everything." (Including Teddy's face because there's DICKHEAD written all over it." )
Perfect replacement for Brother Perry.

[TexasTowelie]

16. Purely a coincidence.

Greg would never short-change his female minions employees that way.

17. And there still will be STUPID ASS!!! republican woman voting for him anyway
