It’s not reflected on the paper’s website, but
the big headline splashed across today’s Dallas Morning News is:
Democrats disappear. The story is about fifty Democratic state
legislators who, to protest a Republican-backed redistricting bill, left the
state en masse to prevent a legislative quorum necessary to pass the
legislation. Still, it’s kind of dreamy, innit? All the Dems in the world
magically gone. On the other hand, what if you woke up, saw that headline,
and thought, “Aaaaaugh! The Rapture happened, and I’m left behind, and it
turns out that the Democrats were God’s elect after all!” 🙂
