Where are the Houston political bloggers?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately, but I haven’t been able to find many political bloggers from Houston. Does anyone know of a houston political blog that is updated regularly? I love reading about local and state political opinions on the Internet. I found some that cover the Austin an Dallas Texas political scene, but few that cover Houston. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place, but I’ll continue my search. If you happen to know of a good Houston political blog, please pass it on to me. I’ll be sure to bookmark it!

Lack of interaction between students is a real disadvantage of e-learning. Social interaction is an important part of educationand E-learners lacks it. In traditional education system, if thestudent  miss out one class, his classmates can provide him withthe notes.
