Blawgletter won the honor to host Blawg Review #201, which debuts March 2. How did the laurel fall to us? Three words: Texas Independence Day.
The Lone Star state declared itself free of Mexican hegemony 173 years ago come Monday at Washington-on-the Brazos. (Yes, such a place does exist.) The Texas Revolution had started on October 2, 1835, and it ended a bit over six months later, with the Battle of San Jacinto, in which Sam Houston's Texian troops surprised and then massacred the much larger Mexican force under Santa Anna. The battle lasted 18 minutes.
But we digress.
Blawg Review lists future hosts by date (always a Monday) as well as "available" dates. The editors of Blawg Review showed March 2 as one of the available ones and sweetened the bait (for us at least) by noting that it falls on that glorious day in the late winter of 1836.
Now we need your help, dear and loyal readers. Please email barrycbarnett@gmail.com with links to blawg posts you've found especially (1) cogent, (2) useful, (3) funny, (4) pompous, (5) sexy, (6) Texas-centric, or (7) otherwise Blawg Review #201-worthy. Did we mention sexy?
Don't concern yourself with whether or not your recommendations have nothing to do with the state that proclaims "Friendship" its motto, the mockingbird the state bird, and the bluebonnet the state flower. Texas Independence Day may furnish the theme, but please trust us when we say we'll figure out a way to fit in any truly good stuff, regardless of its subject matter.
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. But especially Texas.
Y'all come!
