Dallas' Carter among several Rs who break ranks, vote for deaf and blind
Farrar, D-Houston, offered amendments to the stopgap spending bill for the current budget cycle that would spend any unexpected revenue in the next five months on easing $1.4 million in cuts to the blind school and $782,000 to the deaf school. Both institutions are in Austin.
The amendments were the first of the day to draw more than 49 votes in roll calls on GOP leaders' motions to table. The House has 49 Democrats. Carter and Reps. Doc Anderson, R-Waco; Dwayne Bohac, R-Houston; Ralph Sheffield, R-Temple; and James White, R-Hillister, voted "nay" on tabling one or both of Farrar's amendments. They died on successive votes of 94-51 and and 94-52, after GOP leaders said they'd circumvent the appropriations process.
"Excess revenue should go to those most in need," Carter (above, DMN photo) said in an interview after the vote. "Who else is most in need other than blind and deaf children?"

Beyond Robert Gibbs & Facebook: D.C.'s New Social Network
Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs — the man Obama called "a one-person southern focus group" — is rumored to be in talks with Facebook, for a job advising the social networking giant on… Whatever a former White House Press Secretary can advise one of the most valuable tech companies in recent history. While he's no Ashton Kutcher and his record for "poking" has yet to be proven, the man does know a few things about the art of delivering messages effectively. Which got us wondering: What other politicians would match well with social networks, and which companies could they maybe, possibly, someday end up consulting? We paired a few off into teams that could prove unstoppable, given the right demographic. Or enough "poking."

Federal judge won't let Texas out of decree on poor kids' dental health
U.S. District Judge Richard A. Schell of Plano has rejected Texas' bid to be freed from a dental corrective action plan and more study of poor children's dental health in the long-running Frew lawsuit.
Lawyers for Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Tom Suehs argued that Texas has achieved the objectives of a 1996 consent decree because 58 percent of poor children on Medicaid participated in dental screening in 2009, up from 14 percent in 1993. Also, Suehs' lawyers said Texas ranked third among the states in percentage of kids screened in a 2008 study.
But plaintiffs' lawyer Susan Zinn of San Antonio argued that the state did a flawed study of the children's dental health in 2009, which she said conflicts with other studies and the views of Texas dentists.
"The number of Texas children with Medicaid who have no basic preventive dental care has increased to almost 1.5 million," she said Wednesday. At any given time, there about 2.5 million children on Medicaid.
In his ruling, Schell said a planned second study must go forward to see if the improvements have been lasting. He noted that demonstrating such progress "over time" is a requirement of a 2007 plan of improvements agreed upon by the state and Zinn. He said the state hasn't yet "proved changed circumstances in the dental health" of the youngsters. He ordered it to give Zinn a proposed "dental corrective action plan" within 120 days.

Promoting the Gay Agenda to Your Kids ? At YOUR Expense!
Apparently today at Mason City High School, the gay-straight alliance club (yes, we have one as of this year) gave out free t-shirts throughout the school with the phrase: “Gay? Fine by me!” printed on it. I was told that many teachers and students — including one of our administrators — were all sporting these [...]
