This really affects our neighbors down in Houston more than it affects us, but since the ruling was handed down here in Austin and it brightened my morning, I thought I’d share.

US District Judge Sam Sparks ruled today that Tom DeLay must remain on the November ballot despite his resignation and claim that he couldn’t run since he no longer lived in Texas. As always, Kuff is all over it.

This ruling coupled with the recent Supreme Court ruling which found fault in one of the districts created by the redistricting mess that Delay masterminded, affecting the representation of many Austinites, I might add, means BugMan isn’t having a very good month. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
