blogosphere roundup

I figured it was due time for another roundup of the extensive political blogosphere. Here are some excellent and recent blogs from both a local, state, and national level:
  1. In the Pink Texas reports on the widespread hysteria surrounding yesterday's date: June 6, 2006, otherwise known as 06/06/06 (or 666, "the devil's number").
  2. Capitol Annex blogged an endorsement of Glen Maxey for Texas Democratic Party State Chairman.
  3. At Burnt Orange Report, a blogger links to radio interviews with TDP Chair candidates Boyd Richie and Glen Maxey.
  4. Right of Texas disagrees with Kinky Friedman's newest outlined goals.
  5. The Stop Kinky! blog contends that Kinky Friedman is no Jesse Ventura.
  6. Pink Dome reports that White House Press Secretary Tony Snow thinks anti-gay marriage legislation is tantamount to civil rights legislation (but he can't defend that view when pressed).
  7. The Gonzo Muckraker gives the scoop on Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s assessment of 2004's stolen presidential election.
  8. At The Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington accuses the right of sweeping Katrina under the rug for political reasons.
  9. At Dallas Blog, Scott Bennett editorializes on Dallas Mayor Laura Miller and what he considers her somewhat flawed view of the city.
  10. Grits for Breakfast reports on the abject conditions of some Houston area prisons largely due to overcrowding.

If Kinky weren't in the race and it were an election between Strayhorn, Bell, and Perry, then Bell could pull it off. Strayhorn has a big following and she's guaranteed to pull off some of the Republican/conservative vote.
