A confluence of events (a cold, doing my taxes, and a miscellany of more minor concerns) has cut into my blogging time, so it might be a few days before my roundup piece on Libya is ready to see the light of day (and I may have to skip the usual This Week in Jihad as well). So here are a few bits of local news, including some on the the 2012 Senate race, to tide you over:
A call for Texas to follow Utah and Arizona by naming an official state gun, in this case the 1847 Walker Colt Revolver.
Holly Hunter has some interesting thoughts and statistics on Williamson County Redistricting numbers.
In Texas Senate race news, here’s an interview with Ted Cruz.
Also, Rick Perry vs. The World endorses Cruz.
Michael Williams comes out with a strong pro-drilling position.
Praise for Williams from the Beaumont Enterprise for having the courage to leave his current job on the Railroad Commission before running for the Senate.
A liberal radio station host is trying to draft actor Tommy Lee Jones to run as a Democrat for the Texas senate seat. Honestly, I suspect that Jones would have a lot better chance than anyone else whose name has been floated by the Democrats .
