The Saint Arnold's Brewery Needs Your Help!

Ok, so it's been a very long time since I've posted here. My political blog has come and gone and so I'm back to blog here at good ol' free blogger.com.

Anyway, on to the main issue. The good folks over at the Saint Arnold Brewery here in Houston need your help (that is, if you're a voter in the State of Texas). They are seeking to change the archaic laws governing microbreweries in Texas and they're up against some very well funded lobbyists who don't want the current system to change.

You can check out more about their struggle at their blog, St. Arnold Goes to Austin. Go there to find out how you can help.

Blog Has Moved

I've moved from blogspot.com to my own web space. Visit me over at Progressive Texan.

[Update 01/30/2007]: Due partially to my own stupidity and a little help from a domain name squatter, my blog is now gone after a year. I've removed the link and I will occasionally post here.

Astros' Magic Number: 3

With the Astros' win over the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 tonight, combined with the Phillies' 2-3 loss to the NY Mets, leaves the Astros with a magic number of 3.

As a result of the Astros' win, the NY Mets and the Florida Marlins were mathematically eliminated from the NL wild card race, leaving only the Phillies and the Astros in the race. The way each team looks right now, the Astros are set to win their second straight NL Wild Card title. This would likely set up a NLDS match-up with the Atlanta Braves for a second straight season.

While the Astros' offense is not quite what it was last year with Carlo$ Beltran on board, it certainly looks like the pitching is set to carry us far into the playoffs. Don't forget - playoffs in baseball are all about your three man rotation. Therefore, I have but three words for the rest of Major League Baseball.....

Hurricane Distraction - Back to Politics. Sorta.

Wow, that's pretty much dead on. I am a little disturbed that it's so close to socialist, but I'm not surprised.

You are a Social Liberal (70% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (21% permissive) You are best described as a: Strong Democrat Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid

Rita Now Headed Right for Houston

Not only is Rita now one of the most dangerous hurricanes to ever form in the Atlantic, but now it's knocking on my back door.

I'm still planning on staying until I hear evacuation orders, but this is certainly testing my resolution.
