Burnt Orange Report

Whitmire Fallout

By Byron LaMasters

You may wonder why I've been kind of light on the redistricting bonanza recently. Well, I've moved into my apartment here in Austin and have started classes. But I haven't yet gotten my cable modem installed. So, when I'm at home, I'm using a dial-up, which I can still post from, but trying to do a wrap-up of statewide news coverage (from a dial-up) is a real pain, as it requires scanning at least half a dozen news sources at once (and anyone who has a dial-up knows how easy and fun that is *sarcasm*). Anyway, while I spend about an hour a day at the UT computer lab, I try to do my other rapid fire posts, check my email accounts and do most of my other internet activities within about an hour or so. So, without any further ado, I'm basically going to yield to Charles in the Whitmire / Redistricting / Killer D's / Texas 11 department until I get my DSL line installed which could be in a few days, or could be next week. He has a great wrap-up of the Whitmire Fallout on his blog today.

So, until I get my cable modem, you can expect about one hour of rapid fire posts on weekdays, and scattered posts at other times from myself, Jim and Andrew. Thanks.
