New Year’s Day Links—Good Luck In The New Year From Texas Liberal
Happy New Year and good luck to you and yours in the New Year!
I”ll start 2008 with some links.
Globe of Blogs is a friendly site that makes it easy to look for blogs from all over the world.
The Next American City offers viewpoints on how to improve life in American cities. These folks also put out a great magazine.
City Mayors discusses municipal politics from around the world. A ton of information about mayors and the cities they run. First-rate.
The American Cetacean Society is the best on-line source I am aware of to learn about marine mammals.
Here is a BBC article about the threat climate change poses to poor people in the world. Many of us live quite well in America and people elsewhere pay the price.
Here is the blog Angry Black Bitch out of St. Louis.
Bitch now surpasses Hell as the worst profanity I have written in the blog.
Sometimes you just have to let go of your inhibitions.
Texas could use some more black political bloggers. If I’ve missed some currently blogging, I’d sure like to know.
Backyard Birder is an informative Houston Chronicle reader blog run by committed liberal Birdwoman from Montgomery County, Texas.
The painting is called Market in Algiers by August Macke. It is from 1914

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 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.

How can 2008 be anything but good when nice people make such nice comments!
Neil , I am totally amazed at the volume of content and pertinent info.I hope all is well on your end , you seem incredibly busy. I am writing a piece on Presidential Parton to coincide with the Jan. 20th date for one year remaining in the term of George Bush. Would you consider helping me get it on line? I will send you a copy next week end.
Any help would be appreciated.
