This little owl is sitting on the rain gutter downspout of my house right now, just watching the world go by. He has undoubtedly been sent by one of the candidates for Texas House Speaker, to watch closely as the voting continues on the poll on top of the right hand sidebar of this page.

Written by Harold Cook, Letters From Texas is a humorous look at politics and current events, as seen through the eyes of a progressive Texan in a bad mood.
"A freaking riot.... Kudos to Harold Cook."

"Harold Cook may be hazardous to your health…I have very real concerns that this blog is dangerous to the physical safety of Texas progressives."
Mary Mapes
Former Producer
"60 Minutes" - CBS News
"...our favorite political soothsayer and comedy stylist (well, next to Karl Rove)..."

"Harold Cook, who once tried to run over one of my reporters with a van full of senators, has now decided to run over everyone in sight with his new blog...."

"[Cook] is just twisted. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Sort of. Laugh uproariously when it's really freakin funny .... And shake your head, eyes covered, when it's just too...too...too."

You got lucky!
SM (if indeed that is your real name):
After having convened the FUBAR Blogger Caucus*, we have determined that your comment is wholly unsatisfactory. We simply have no idea what you mean. Do you mean I got lucky because there was an owl in my yard? Do you mean that, if the owl is a spy for one of the speaker candidates, I’m lucky because they didn’t send over Vinnie from The Bronx to rough me up instead? Do you mean I’m lucky for reasons having nothing to do with the post on which you’re commenting? SM, at least leave me an action verb or some other clue!
*it’s only called that when convening in my living room. Also, a quorum was present. The complete minutes are available upon request. Actually, that’s a lie – they’re not. And the dog ain’t talkin’.
How many hoots have you heard? That may determine just how lucky you are.
I heard Two Hoots and a Holler, last month at Contenental Club.
