PINK PIQUE
Things have been quiet -- too quiet -- after last weekend's Austin American-Statesman vs. Pink Dome flareup sparked by a blog fight between two gubernatorial campaigns.
It all started with skirmishing on Gov. Rick Perry's blog between Perry's camp and challenger Carole Keeton Strayhorn's spokesman Mark Sanders.
When Perry's folks resorted to posting Sanders' 1980s photo from his days in the Capitol press corps -- complete with of-the-era eyeglasses and big mustache -- it caught the attention of the Statesman's Jason Embry.
Embry's reference in his item to In the Pink Texas as "the only political blog in the state that's actually, you know, funny" drew the notice of Pink Dome, which lashed back Sunday at Embry's "teenage skill level" of insult.
Jason, your turn.
I dunno. ITPT is really funny.
I loved that "less than ciro" headline today.
Agreed. Much too quiet. But not for long. Watch TV starting next week. Carole and Rick are the only two on the air. It;s a two person race. And it's a little spooky that the folks in the gov's office are digging up old pics of me. I swear I have no pictures of Black hanging on my walls. Let the games begin. Love the humor of this blog.

Agreed. (this bar is) Much too quiet. But not for long (I just ordered another round of Jager bombs). Watch TV (not Skin-a-max, but the networks) starting next week. Carole and Rick (Wacky and the Gov) are the only two on the air (Bell is broke, Kinky's a joke). It;s a two person (does Carole qualify as a person) race. And it's a little spooky (like stumbling to my car at 3 am on South Congress) that the folks in the gov's office are digging up old pics of me (God I hope they don't have my mug shot). I swear I have no pictures of Black (did that sound racist?) hanging on my walls. Let the games (everytime Carole says "grandma" take a shot, every time she takes trial lawyer $$, take 10) begin. Love the humor of this blog (please love me). Mark (Sanders' Cocktail).

Where's the photo? I can't find the damn thing.
