Bush really is a carpetbagger as he's no more Texan than I. Daddy Warbuck's money got him some oil and ownership of the Texas Rangers baseball team. He weaseled his way into the governorship in a similar way as Reagan for promising and delivering the trashing of the University of California. Reagan is the specific reason my ol' Dad and a great many other professors left California.
As to what causes a Brain Drain : Republicans.
They did it to NASA as well. Kennedy tasked America with going to do the Moon and, what do you know, America did it and with spectacular style. Republicans have trashed that budget and it's 50% of what it has been when America was actually accomplishing anything in space more than getting its ass kicked by the Chinese. That's why America gets its ass kicked.
It makes me proud that America flew to the Moon. Apparently it didn't make the Republicans proud as they work assiduously to prevent NASA from doing much of anything more than making flying robots anymore. The only one with any real plan for humans on Mars is Elon Musk.
Brian Aldiss once asked 'do androids dream of electric sheep' and I don't know. However, I do know Republicans dream of nothing at all.
Rick Perry became Governor of Texas, without election, when Bush went to the White House, also, amazingly enough, without having been elected (look up for yourself how the Florida election was bought and the Supreme Court corrupted by GOP money).
The image is germane to the day because Yevette told me about how it went while she was in Austin, TX, and they got the news Governor (cough) Rick Perry had been indicted.
Sadness and weeping, right?
Like hell. It was a party from one end of Austin to the other.
Tip: Austin is the capital of Texas
