Day 23: Spam Arrival
Day 23 of the new blog and the spammers have found me. 13 spam comments showed up this evening. It seems I didn’t have Askimet installed, yet. It always does a fabulous front-line on WordPress spam comments.
Texas Legislature: Too Many Poor People Voting
Last Thursday the Chron PolitBlog called Texas Voter Fraud “a lie”. Friday the national media was writing an article on the stealthy disappearance of the American Center for Voting Rights. (An organization who was trying to sell us on rampant voter fraud.) Meanwhile the still Republican-controlled Texas Legislature was swinging their scepter to “protect us” from. . . something.
Galveston Judge Susan Criss chimed in with her support of Senator Gallegos, who against the will of his doctor was transported to Austin to keep the voting margin viable. The Houstonist informs that he can now return home to recover from his recent surgery.
The outrageous voter suppression bill did not pass the House by Wednesday midnight and the Lt. Governor has declared it procedurally dead. May it Rest in Peace! (and pieces)
Rail Line Treasure Hunt
The TMi page of the Star section of the Chron printed a 10 picture and clue scavenger hunt on Wednesday, all of which is along the light rail line. Of course I helped host, with Andrea Greer and Allen Hill, a scavenger hunt in January. The ending location and the cover of the CD which accompanied the hunt is one of the photos in the Chron’s hunt.
I have the time, I may play this one for the fun of it. I think I know 4 of them already.
