SocraticGadfly: Top blogging for July

Top blogging for July

These aren't necessarily posts from July, but they got the most reader interest in the last 30 days.

My saying that the atrocious Bladensberg Cross ruling, not the gerrymandering case, tops the bad Supreme Court rulings of this term was No. 1.

No. 2 was my speculation about a Joe Straus vs Greg Abbott GOP presidential primary in 2022.

Writing about how Madcow Maddow was more right than wrong on Bernie and GUNZ was No. 3.

A Texas Legislature fairy tale about Drew and Pat's semi-excellent road trip was fourth.

Word-painting about the Simon and Garfunkel-like urban quietude that real climate change battling would bring was No. 5.

Written at the end of the month on July 29, but moving up the list to No. 6 as of yesterday? My calling out of the cult of the #TulsiTwerkers. (Let's get that hashtag trending!)

No. 7 and No. 10 are related and even later. They're about the St. Louis Cardinals refusing to make an MLB trade deadline move, at tenth, and head-faking with some craptaculartude semi-salary dump and full-on just taking a dump on fans in seventh.

In eighth is my piece on Greens, Libertarians, smaller third parties and independents suing the state of Texas over various ballot access issues, given an opening in part by Drew Springer's HB 2504.

The ninth spot goes to my latest round in deconstructing the myth vs reality of Sema Hernandez, related to both her 2018 run for the Senate and her re-run for 2020.
