A person I don't know wrote at another (lesser) site that I should start my own blog. I tried creating an informative web page (www.localanduncontested.com) during the 2005 Christmas season and it, I must acknowledge, sucked hind tit.
______
After careful reflection, it seems that the root of that failure stemmed from the fact that I have no earthly idea how to create a web page -- something that proved to be a real hindrance to the page's success.
______
Anyway, a friend of mine who is a distinguished member of the Texas House of Representatives started a blog using this free service and insisted that it was real easy. He can barely tie his shoes, much less perform complex computer task like those regularly employed by 8-year-old kids.
______
So if HE could do it, I figured even I could do it. Also, because he was the first legislator to launch a blog, people think he's real tech savvy and hip and with it and groovy and college girls throw their damp panties at him when he's laying out a bill in committee.

I yearn for that kind of public adoration, so here I am.

BILLY CLYDE'S POLITICAL HOT TUB PARTY aims to bring you, friends and neighbors, a smorgasbord of political potpourri. Here you will find in-depth interviews with those who design the policy and political landscape. And biting cricism and commentary on the conundrums that confront out elected officials. Plus maybe some porn. Who knows?
______
Assuming this service allows for reader comments, I look forward to many reader comments. It takes the views of a wide swath of the social and politial spectrum to produce an accurate rendition of our societal mosaic. Added bonus: it will give me a clue as to whether anyone ever reads my drivel.
______
So let the games begin. And in the unlikely event I have worked this deal properly, I shall begin posting stream-of-consciousness brilliance full of mixed metaphors and illogical conclusions immediately or tomorrow or maybe the next day after that. But pretty quickly.
______
Thanks dudes.
is widely regarded as Texas' leading expert on useless government and political trivia. He gave up a successful career as an astronaut to launch this blog for you kind souls out there.
Billy Clyde is a lifelong Texan (why would someone live in one of those other states?) who at one time could name the county seat of all 254 counties.
The author has the attention span of a gnat, so enjoy this blog while it's here.
