Here's a look at what our fellow Texas blogs are talking about this week: 

• Capitol Annex examines the "abortion" issue in the potential Democratic primary TX-Sen. race.
• Dos Centavos reminds Houstonians to vote for Melissa Noriega this Saturday.
• The single best wrap-up on transportation issues can be found at our good friends at Eye on Williamson County, who have become the "Grits" on transportation issues.
• Speaking of Grits for Breakfast, they have a special post from Mie Lewis of the national ACLU Women's Rights Project about the children at the Texas Youth Commission.
• Rep. Jessica Farrar gave Pinkdome some scarves.
• Off the Kuff has a great story about the continued privatization concerns at HHSC.
• Texas Kaos takes a look at the Alberto Gonzales, DOJ scandal.
• Also on the national scene, Brains & Eggs shows us that Hillary would lose to all three Republican presidential candidates -- and Obama would win.
• North Texas Liberal provides a good wrap-up of the TXU decision on Oak Grove we never got around to writing.
• Bay Area Houston reports on how Texas is almost last in health care standards.
• McBlogger really, really didn't like Rep. Charlie Howard's "religios expression" bill.
• In the Pink Texas has their own list of best and worst legislators. Somehow, Andy Brown didn't make the cut.
• And finally --- have you visited Stop Cornyn yet? Take a look at the site.
