It looks as though the Texas Legislature has adjourned its second special section without pushing through Tom DeLay's redistricting plan. Never fear, though:

Yahoo! News - Bid for Texas Redistricting Fails Again : "Republican Gov. Rick Perry said he would call yet another special session to try to get approval for new congressional boundaries.

Presumably this will happen shortly after he has Texas Rangers stationed ready to apprehend every Democratic legislator. Somehow, I'm finding the spectacle of two of our largest states behaving increasingly like banana republics to really not be all that funny.
