The 80th session of the Texas legislature gavels in tomorrow, amid a historic fight for House Speaker. I have been popping Tums like Pat O'Reilly pops painkillers in advance of this vote. But in honor of the process, I'm posting "Bill" from School House Rocks' "I'm Just a Bill", which arguably set my life's course. Sing it with me now, everybody!
I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.
