Statesman | GOP to Senate Democrats: Pay up (link via Political State Report: Texas)
When I was in 7th grade, there were two bullies in my English class. Both of them were big, as I was, and they didn't like it that the teacher and I talked SF and I did well. One day it came down to a shoving match outside the classroom. And by shoving I mean "throwing each other into the wall of lockers." I think they'd dumped my books or something and I'd called them something insulting in return. I don't really recall. None of us were really coordinated or tough enough to actually throw a punch.
The fight didn't last long, because the teacher came out and broke it up, or would have broken it up if we'd been obviously doing anything. As she was taking me back into her classroom (to separate the three of us), the second banana junior thug turned to me, his face bright red. "You're going to have to buy Doug a new cap!" Aparently his plastic baseball cap had been broken when I fought back when he jumped me.
I laughed at him, which didn't do anything for his mood, but helped mine rather a lot. The teacher and I talked about it and then she gave me a note and sent me to my next class.
You may wonder why this is listed under the politics category. I point you to this report about GOP Chairwoman Susan Weddington:
GOP Chairwoman Susan Weddington said the Democrats should pay the $2 million tab even though a Republican governor called the session specifically to increase Republican influence in Congress.
Bullies never change, and neither do their hangers-on.
