Redistricting
I can't really get motivated to write about the saga of Texas redistricting. Plenty of bloggers (some of whom I know) post blow-by-blow accounts, and you're surely already reading them if you care about this issue. I've sort of adopted the fiery attitude of Owen Courreges as my own on this, so I'll just second the fun stuff he says over here.
It has been kind of fun to watch the party that exists to exercise political power squirm as they slowly come to grips with their new minority status. And watching that same "populist" party recast their anti-democratic obstructionism as "principled" has been a trip also.
But not as entertaining as Rick Minter saying TCU's football team reminds him of defending National Champion Ohio State, mind you, or Bill Parcells kicking someone's ass in training camp. Because that's where my mind is at the moment.
(Update) I am glad while I'm reading training camp and college football reports that folks like Rob are immersed in the details of redistricting. Click click click on that blogroll to the right, and I'm caught up on this crap in no time (leaving more time for the sports pages).
