Hello, Burnt Orange Report

By Kirk McPike

Ed. Note- In my posting madness this morning, I ending up forcing Kirk's announcement way down the page. I wanted to give him fair play as he will be a great new addition to BOR, filling in on some North Texas insight that has gone unreported since Byron began his consulting job. I'll be introducing one more writer next week who will be giving us a dose of humor each Wednesday in his column entitled "BORed". -KT

Karl-Thomas asked me to introduce myself, so here we go. I'm Kirk McPike. Some of you may know me from political events here in Texas, others through the comments section here. Most of you probably have no idea who I am. Don't worry, I'm sure that will change.

I'm a recent graduate of... well, a university in Dallas that likes horses and the colors red and blue... with a degree in political science. I presently work for the Dallas County Democratic Party, but nothing I say here (or anywhere else, for that matter) should ever be taken as the official opinion of the party office. I'm also the Vice President of Communications for the Dallas County Young Democrats.

While I'll try not to get too underfoot around here, I will be posting from time to time about things going on in the Dallas area. We've got some great Democratic candidates coming together for the 2006 election cycle. Next year is going to be an exciting time to be a progressive in North Texas!

I'd like to thank Karl-Thomas, Byron and the others here at BOR for giving me the opportunity to post here.

It'll be great to have you here, Kirk. I can't think of a person more committed to the cause than you.

Thanks, Ken! :-)

And Karl-Thomas... why oh why do you and Byron find the fact that I have a first initial so hilarious? You know, me and H. Ross Perot, we're just ahead of the curve. In ten years, you'll be K. Thomas. Mark my words!

Well if you've got Ken Molberg's blessing, I'm on your side...

I'm already K-Thomas in some circles. Mainly when I'm out pimpin' it with my homies.
