I will give 100 cash American dollars to anybody who can convince a candidate to run for the Texas Legislature, in any district, as a Republican or Democrat, whose name is legitimately the same as this guy’s. We would never run out of punchlines.

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."

"...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."

That was awesome, but I was stunned that a post entitled “Political satire blog heaven” was not about Mark Sanford (R-Argentina).
yeah I was thinking about doing something on that, but Eileen beat me to it and did it well, so now I’m pouting.
Constance Cummings, wherever she is, will always have my vote.
In a previous life, I worked for a company that had a customer named Dick Shaver. A buddy of mine there and I thought this was the funniest thing ever (in our defense, we were both in our 20s). All one of us had to do was go to the other’s office, say the words “Dick Shaver”, and we’d both die laughing.
