Saturday Thanks & Links—Dwarf Hippo Edition
Thanks to everybody who linked to Texas Liberal this week or who added the blog to their blogroll.
Rakoto’s Rants: The Malagasy Dwarf Hippo linked to my Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List.
This blog is in Madagascar! Can you beat that? I hope these folks visit Houston someday so I can show them around town.
The Malagasy Dwarf Hippo is now extinct. Though there are two living Pygmy Hippo species in the world.
The drawing above is of the pre-historic Cretan Dwarf Hippo that lived on the island of Crete. (Photo below of Crete. I wish I could tell you I was blogging from Crete–But I’m not.)
Unusual Music’s Journal also linked to the King post.
georigaism linked to my post about the self-destructing palm tree.
Thanks to both these fellow-bloggers.
My friend Diane in Maryland linked to a post about Bush, Grant & Jefferson from her blog Bean and Bee. Thank you Diane. Always excellent to hear from you.
The very good people at Panhandle Truth Squad in Amarillo linked to my post asking why Obama does not say it would be okay if he really were a Muslim.
This week I added the Collin County Observer to my blogroll. These Texas bloggers seem serious about what they are doing and no doubt the area in which they live merits the scrutiny.
I also added the Bay of Fundy Blog. This blogger lives near the Bay of Fundy and sees the big tides roll in and out. It sounds great. Her latest post is about an odd looking lobster.
Thanks to everybody who reads Texas Liberal.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Hello from the Bay of Fundy! wow, this is cool – you found my blog and i just found your blog mentioning my blog. I think it’s neat that your Liberal blog picked up my blog on your blogroll, considering it has the word “Fundy” in it, which I understand is used in the U.S. as a short form for fundamentalist. We don’t see that so much here on the east coast of Canada!
Excellent to hear from you. I guess that term in used. I don’t hear it so much. I just live it down in Texas. Though Houston is a very big city with many different types of people. Please keep in touch.
