One of the reasons why I’ve been posting less frequently on this blog is because I’ve been contributing to a not-for-profit community website called Austinpost.org. I’ve been given the job of luring people onto the site by writing about local politics in a way that is funny enough and infuriating enough to get them to come back and read more.
Most recently I’ve been writing about the KeyPoint report scandal as well as Capital Metro. The high point has been when the mayor’s chief of staff personally emailed me to protest my portrayal of a city resolution about agenda transparency.
I know, city politics doesn’t sound that exciting to most people, but I’m doing my best to make it entertaining and to raise the level of public discourse on the subject.
Now, should you desire to read some of my posts, just to see if I’m as funny as I think I am if for no other reason, you should vote with the "thumbs up" button at the bottom of the article. Right now the chairman of the local libertarian party has almost four times the number of votes as me, and it’s just not fair.
