I'm pitching in to give the 50 State Blog Round-up a home for a week. Lucky me. Stay as long as you like, but please, keep off the cyber-grass. Hang on tight, it's time to take off:
(Are you sick and tired of U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe's bizarre comments on global warming and the Iraq occupation? Then click here to elect State Sen. Andrew Rice, a progressive Democrat who is running against Inhofe in the 2008 election. Let's send Inhofe into retirement.)
Even Oklahoma's corporate power structure believes the state needs more college graduates, but do not count on U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe to help out.
Inhofe was one of just twelve U.S. Senators who recently voted against a bill to expand federal aid for college students. President George Bush has said he will sign the bill, which passed the Senate 79-12 and the House 292-97. The extra funding will be financed by cutting fees to banks on loans provided to students.

In what Vince Leibowitz at Texas Kaos calls "a target on the state's working poor",Texas
