Let’s Win It For Paul Wellstone
With the big day almost here, let’s not forget the great liberal Paul Wellstone.
Senator Wellstone of Minnesota died six years ago, but his deeds and ideas live on. I think Senator Wellstone was the one politician I have had true faith in for all the years I have followed politics.
Here is the link to Wellstone Action!
Hopefully, the Republican who took Senator Wellstone’s seat will be defeated tomorrow.
In any case, we can hope that the better days Senator Wellstone worked so hard for are finally here.
Election Eve Photo Of Mini-Horse
Above is Thumbelina. Thumbelina is the world’s smallest horse. Thumbelina is 17 inches tall.
(Update–4/28/10—Einstein, a mini-horse that lives in New Hampshire, may now be the smallest horse in the world.)
If Massachusetts Repeals State Income Tax, Maybe They Could Rename The State “Texas.”
Massachusetts has an initiative on the ballot that would repeal the state income tax.
Latest polls have the issue failing, but not by much.
(Above–What might as well be Massachusetts.)
If the people of Massachusetts choose to repeal the state income tax, maybe they could just rename the state “Texas.” Texas has no income tax.
Massachusetts could have our high poverty rate and absence of basic services. Maybe the folks up in Boston and Gloucester and Worcester could even start executing people like we do down here.
Howdy Massachusetts! Why don’t you folks pull the trigger and become the new Texas. We’d love to look up north and see you Yankees living as we do.
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.
