Your Elected Representative Has A Blog. Well, Maybe.
I'm not sure how I managed to miss this for so long, but it turns out that Aaron Peña [1] has managed to convince a number of his fellow legislators that the blogosphere is where it's at. That's right, there's a good chance that your elected representative has been transformed from a glossy-haired, pearly-whites-bearing charisma-machine into a run of the mill nerd (see Exhibit A).
Before....................After
Given the notoriety and hate mail fame and fortune blogging has brought to yours truly and my fellow Texas political bloggers, it's easy to understand why they can't resist jumping into the ring. They've even enabled comments - talk about cajones!
A very warm welcome to our new friends over at Lone Star Rising.
[1] Of A Capitol Blog fame; oh - and that whole elected representative thing as well...
