Another knee-slapper from the wacky world of state government: Texas state senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa is proposing a 5% tax on video games.
For no real reason other than, quote, "I think that we can generate (money)." Well, no shit you can. The revenues from the proposed tax -- estimated at $65 million every two years -- would go towards building and improving schools.
I know exactly what you are thinking: Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa is an anagram of "achy juju onion ash." I'm scared too.
