67 Degrees blogging will be light for the next five months, as I dive into the 140 day Texas legislative session (which only happens every other year, so my schedule is clear for 2010). If you're into Texas politics, I recommend Political Junkie, (of course).

Meanwhile, I'm OUTRAGED, just OUTRAGED, by this guy in my weekly half marathon training group. He claims he's a secret service agent and runs with his stupid earpiece on. AND he pretends to talk on it. When pressed for who he protects, he says Barack Obama AND Texas Governor Rick Perry. And, on occassion, an Austin-area congressman. Loser. Not. Possible. The governor has protection, but it AIN'T FROM THE FEDS.

He ran with us last Saturday, with his stupid earpiece. And coincidentally, the governor, who he claims to protect, ran right by us on the trail. WITHOUT THE FAKE SECRET SERVICE MAN. Didn't seem to recognize him either.

He ran with us again yesterday. With the inauguration in two days, he claims he will be protecting Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday. Why is he in Austin, someone asked. "Oh, I'm just taking a break," he says. And apparently he flies Southwest to cover the president. Yep.

We've gotta expose that guy. I'm getting his plates next time.
