The Texas Progressive Alliance is filling out their brackets as they present the best of the Lone Star State's lefty blogs from last week. And a big "Howdy" and welcome to our newest member, Egberto Willies, who leads off this week's Wrangle.
Every opponent of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should watch the Daily Show’s Aasif Mandvi and his interview of Fox business commentator Todd Wilemon posted at EgbertoWillies.com.
Off the Kuff analyzes the primary performances of Wendy Davis and Bill White.
Horwitz at Texpatriate presents a novel idea to start getting students voting.
WCNews at Eye on Williamson once again points out Texas' unfair tax system, in No one is offering an alternative to the raw deal Texas taxpayers are getting.
Libby Shaw at Texas Kaos reminds Greg Abbott that no means NO: Greg Abbott tries to spin no into yes.
A Fort Bend Republican wrote an article for Houston Style magazine about "Democrat" Kesha Rogers. You can imagine how ridiculous that was. Well, no you can't, because it's even worse than you can imagine. PDiddie at Brains and Eggs called BS on it about five times. But nobody involved bothered to correct the record.
Neil at All People Have Value said we should self-edit our lives in the same way that time has edited the works of the Ancient Greek poet Sappho. All People Have Value is part of NeilAquino.com.
And here's more from other great Texas blogs.
The Denton fracking ban initiative has exceeded the number of signatures necessary to put the measure on the ballot in November, reports TXSharon at Bluedaze.
Dan Patrick is bad for Texas, but would be particularly bad for Texas education, as Socratic Gadfly observes in sampling and expanding on an op-ed in the Waco Herald-Tribune.
Prairie Weather sounds the alarm for Democrats (in Texas and across the country) as voter turnout levels for the primary are abysmal, and Senate Dems on the ballot this year start running away from the president, his policies, and his appointees.
Stace at Dos Centavos seems a little irritated about President Obama's review of the federal deportation policy. Not as irritated as he is at the GOP's standing position, however.
Burnt Orange covered Wendy Davis' East Texas tour.
The Inanity of Sanity notes that it's going to be a long hot summer for ALEC here in Deep-In-The-Hearta.
Cody Pogue calls the state's new abortion restrictions what they are: a threat to women's health.
Michael Li at Texas Redistricting charts our civic engagement crisis. And the Texas Observer's Christopher Hooks amplifies that -- linking to another of Li's posts -- in describing the not-so-democratic party primary system (that both Texas Republicans and Democrats practice).
Texas Watch wants private insurers to pay their fair share before any rate hikes are considered.
Juanita Jean at the World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon predicts Tom DeLay's next career move.
Keep Austin Wonky advocates for using Austin's budget surplus on universal pre-K.
Grits for Breakfast laments the "dystopic no-man's land" created by the RGV border fence.
John Coby at Bay Area Houston recaps the frustrating process of choosing the best electricity provider, and got some ink in the Pearland Journal with an op-ed about the man-made disaster that is the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
Lastly, In The Pink explains what the movie "Frozen" is really about.
