Any Texas progressive politics blogs?
I saw a post in GD about local blogs being mostly conservative, and it got me to thinking: any Texas politics blogs worth reading?

Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon posts from Austin.

not technically a Texas blog but she touches on Texas issues, especially culture war stuff.

For a UT student perspective: Burnt Orange Report. Right now they have a huge listing of Dem and Liberal links up of organizations fighting the Texas Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

5. Pink Dome has a Q & A with Chris Bell today:
and this is good:

BB: Your thoughts on Kinky Friedman? Carole Keaton Strayhorn?

CB: Kinky's a humorous guy who I've enjoyed listening to over the years. I once won a pitcher of beer for singing a Kinky Friedman song. As far as Carole, I'm glad she's in the race.

6. Perry is a pervo
He makes his staffer's carry his cell phone to his ear so that he can keep his hands free? What an a-hole.

Bell's staffer should have responded with something just as crass, like "hi little man" or "Adios, MoFo".
