I was pleasantly suprised to receive an e-mail from a fellow working in Texas Democratic Congressman Silvestre Reyes' office about his new blog. I think that might be the first case of interest and outreach to Texas bloggers and readers by TX Congressperson (that is already in office).
Even better was the fact that one of blog posts up right now, which tells about Speaker Hasterts short lived drive for fuel efficiency. After a short photo op in a hydrogen powered car, Hastert was photographed leaving it to be picked up by his SUV. Check it out.
